Man United Struggles Worsen Under Amorim After Ten Hag Exit

Man United Struggles Worsen Under Amorim After Ten Hag Exit

August 25, 2025 12:20 pm

At Manchester United, the hiring of Ruben Amorim has exposed a dramatic swing in fortunes. Looking back at Erik ten Hag’s final stretch, his Red Devils went 12–7–10 in their last 29 Premier League games—a win rate of just over 40 percent. By contrast, Amorim’s opening 29 outings tell a bleaker story: 7–7–15, a slump beneath the expectations that once surrounded his arrival.

Ten Hag’s closing run was far from spectacular, but it offered a decent measure of stability. His side registered 12 wins—enough to sustain a mid-table pulse, if not a title challenge.

Enter Amorim. From the outset, he …

Man United Unhappy As Sancho Rejects Roma

August 19, 2025 11:01 am

Manchester United’s bid to move on from Jadon Sancho has hit another setback. The 24-year-old winger has rejected the chance to join AS Roma, leaving United increasingly frustrated as they continue searching for a permanent solution.

The club had been hoping that Roma’s interest would bring a quick resolution and a £20 million transfer fee that could be reinvested before the close of the window. Instead, Sancho’s refusal has only added to the uncertainty around his future at Old Trafford—a saga that has lingered for nearly a year.

Sancho’s relationship with United has been strained ever since his public falling …

Temporary Standstill At Old Trafford: Onana Steps Aside

Temporary Standstill At Old Trafford: Onana Steps Aside

August 18, 2025 10:19 am

André Onana, Manchester United’s No. 1 goalkeeper, has adopted an almost uncommon stance in today’s football swirl: he’s not talking to any other club right now. Instead, he’s accepted manager Rúben Amorim’s decision, reset mentally, and committed himself fully to being in peak form before he returns between the sticks.

It’s a quiet resolution in a season marked by noise. After a series of high-profile defensive lapses—most visibly in the Europa League draw against Lyon—Amorim chose to bench Onana for a Premier League weekend tie, citing a need to let the goalkeeper “disconnect” and clear his head. This was not …

Rooney Recalls Fallout: Campbell Ignored Me For Months

August 18, 2025 9:55 am

The rivalry between Manchester United and Arsenal in the early 2000s was more than football; it was theatre, raw and combustible, a clash of two empires locked in a duel for supremacy.

Wayne Rooney had barely unpacked his bags at Old Trafford when he was thrown into the heart of it. It was October 2004, his 19th birthday, and United were hosting Arsène Wenger’s Arsenal — unbeaten in 49 league games, carrying themselves with the swagger of immortality.

The match was ill-tempered even before it began. United, marshaled by Sir Alex Ferguson, were determined to stop the record run. Arsenal, …

April 25, 2020 2:44 pm

Manchester United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward says speculation about transfers for “hundreds of millions of pounds this summer” is ignoring the “realities that face the sport” because of the coronavirus pandemic.
