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 …

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.

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.

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 …
