November 12, 2025 9:26 am

Manchester United manager Rúben Amorim has introduced a formal policy requiring half the first-team squad to sign autographs for fans outside Old Trafford before matches, with the other half doing so afterwards, a measure designed to restore routine contact between players and supporters. The directive, reported by United insiders and covered in a recent feature on the manager’s first year, is part of a wider push by Amorim to set standards around professionalism and public engagement. 

Club sources say the rule was prompted after a period in which an increasing number of players were observed ignoring supporters on matchdays or …

Hargreaves Urges United To Play Bruno As No.10 With Mbeumo

Hargreaves Urges United To Play Bruno As No.10 With Mbeumo

October 3, 2025 10:58 am

Former Manchester United midfielder Owen Hargreaves has called for a tactical reset at Old Trafford, insisting that Bruno Fernandes should return to his more natural No. 10 role.

Speaking on TNT Sports, Hargreaves suggested pairing Bruno and Matheus Cunha as dual No. 10s behind Bryan Mbeumo up front would better exploit United’s attacking potential. He also floated the idea of using Amad Diallo as a left wing-back if manager Rúben Amorim wants to stick with a three-at-the-back formation.

Hargreaves argued that under the current 3-4-3 or 3-4-2-1 formations, Bruno has been forced into a deeper midfield role, effectively sacrificing some …

Neville Slams Mount At Left Wing-Back: “It Can’t Happen”

September 29, 2025 11:15 am

Gary Neville has publicly lambasted Manchester United’s tactical deployment of Mason Mount, questioning the logic of using him as a left wing-back. The former United defender, speaking on The Gary Neville Podcast, called the move “ridiculous” and said it undermines the player and the team. 

“You CANNOT put Mason Mount at left wing-back. I’m sorry, it just can’t happen,” Neville declared. “I struggled at times to watch him in his natural position, but actually putting him out there on the left wing is ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous.”

Mount, normally deployed in midfield or attacking roles, was shifted to a wing-back role …

Man United Block Mainoo Loan, Insist Midfielder Stays

August 29, 2025 1:20 pm

Manchester United have firmly rejected Kobbie Mainoo’s request to leave the club on loan this summer, directing him instead to stay and fight for his place in the first team. The 20-year-old academy graduate has informed the club that he wants more regular playing time ahead of next summer’s World Cup, but United’s hierarchy—including directors and coaching staff—are united in denying his departure. 

Mainoo, who has been at Old Trafford since he was seven and made his mark by scoring in the 2024 FA Cup final, has struggled for minutes this season. He has yet to feature in the Premier …

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 …
