MANCHESTER UNITED WANT TO SIGN TAMMY ABRAHAM

Posted on October 28, 2022 by index

According to Givemesport, Premier League giants Manchester United are keeping close tabs on AS Roma striker Tammy Abraham. The English striker came through the ranks at Chelsea and showed his ability in the Premier League for the Blues. He left Stamford Bridge for Italy in the summer of 2021 and has since shone for Jose Mourinho’s side. Abraham also played his part as Roma won the UEFA Conference League last season. While he has just two goals and assists apiece from 12 games across all competitions this season, it has had little impact on Man United’s interest.

The Red Devils are short of a striker in the squad and will need to add one sooner or later. Anthony Martial is struggling with injuries while Cristiano Ronaldo is far off the pace. The additions of Jadon Sancho, Antony and Christian Eriksen in recent windows have certainly added more zing to the club’s attack. However, the lack of a striker to finish off chances is very apparent. Continue reading →

Posted on October 19, 2022 by index

Manchester United midfielder Christian Eriksen was able to score for Denmark in the UEFA Nations League this week, but it was not enough after the Danes were beaten 2-1 at the home of Croatia. The new Manchester United player and his Danish teammates are in Group A1 as far as this season’s UEFA Nations League campaign is concerned alongside Croatia, France and Austria.

Denmark led Group A1 ahead of the set of games played in the group this week. They had two more points than Croatia ahead of their meeting at StadionMaksimir in the Croatian capital city of Zagreb on Thursday.They were unable to hold on to top spot after the Croatians emerged winners by a one-goal margin. After a goalless affair in the first half, Borna Sosa gave Croatia the lead four minutes into the second half. The Danes didn’t restore parity until Manchester United star Eriksen produced a moment of real quality on 77 minutes. The Croatians were level for just two minutes before they regained the lead through substitute LovroMajer who plays his club football for Rennes in the French top flight. Home team Croatia thereafter held on to their slim lead to take the three points at stake. Continue reading →

CRISTIANO RONALDO STARTS – MAN UNITED’S PROBABLE LINEUP VS REAL SOCIEDAD

Posted on October 10, 2022 by index

After winning four games on the trot in the Premier League, Manchester United will kick start their Europa League campaign tonight against Real Sociedad. As far as the team news is concerned, Ten Hag could make a number of changes to the squad that started against Arsenal last weekend. The Dutch manager has confirmed that Ronaldo is an obvious option to start and therefore, we can expect the Portugal captain to feature as the lone center forward up front. Rashford could be rested vs the Txuri-Urdin.

In the attacking midfield, Fernandes and Antony may retain their positions, on the other hand, Elanga could return in place of Jadon Sancho to start on the left flank. As far as the central midfield is concerned, Brazil duo of Fred and summer signing, Casemiro, should replace the likes of Eriksen and McTominay. At the back, captain, Maguire, would probably return and partner Victor Lindelof in the central defense in front of David De Gea. Continue reading →

Three-time European champions Manchester United have moved out of the Premier League relegation zone following the win at home to Liverpool at the start of this week. The English duo of Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford were on target for Manchester United in a 2-1 victory over Liverpool thereby propelling the Red Devils to move out of the bottom three (relegation zone) on the Premier League table.

Manchester United began the season with two defeats to leave themselves at the foot of the Premier League table after the first two sets of games in the Premier League this season.

Liverpool were not able to live up to their status as favourites after they ended the game on the losing side. Continue reading →

CHELSEA RIVAL MANCHESTER UNITED IN BENJAMIN SESKO PURSUIT THIS SUMMER

Posted on August 13, 2022 by index

According to Media Foot, Chelsea have entered the race to sign Red Bull Salzburg striker Benjamin Sesko, who is also a transfer target for the Blues’ arch-rivals Manchester United this summer. Sesko joined Salzburg from Slovenian outfit NK Domzale in the summer of 2019, but spent his first couple of seasons in Austria largely playing for FC Liefering, who operate as Salzburg’s reserve side. The 19-year-old made his senior debut for the Austrian giants last year and has since gone onto feature 38 times in all competitions, scoring 12 goals and setting up eight more.

Sesko has made a sprightly start to the 2022/23 campaign in Austria, already bagging a couple of goals and an assist in two matches in all competitions. While he is still at the nascent stages of his career, the teenage sensation has attracted a lot of eyeballs due to his potential and promise, with the striker even dubbed the new ‘Erling Haaland’ in some corners.

REPORT: ATLETICO MADRID REJECT CHANCE TO SIGN CRISTIANO RONALDO

Posted on July 31, 2022 by index

A recent report from COPE has revealed that Jorge Mendes, the agent of Cristiano Ronaldo, had held a meeting with Miguel Angel Gil Marin, the Atletico Madrid CEO, at the start of July. The Portuguese super-agent had offered Atleti the chance to sign the Manchester United attacker ahead of the new season. Mendes stressed that the attacker’s hefty wages should not be a problem as the player is willing to lower his demands. His main issue is from a sporting perspective and not from an economic perspective, as the Manchester United forward is keen on playing in the UEFA Champions League next season.

Ronaldo’s current club Manchester United have appeared as an undesirable option for the attacker after the club missed out on a top-four finish last season. It means the Red Devils are set to participate in the UEFA Europa League in the upcoming 2022/23 campaign, which has forced the attacker to consider an exit as soon as possible. Continue reading →

This is according to English journalist David Ornstein who writes for The Athletic. He confirmed the interest of Manchester United in signing Argentine international Martinez before adding that club officials are apprehensive about the deal due to his physical requirements.

Apart from Manchester United, Premier League rivals Arsenal are also interested in the player. Arsenal are leading the race to sign the 24-year-old with manager Mikel Arteta keen to add the player to his squad ahead of the new season. Martinez is a versatile player who can conveniently perform well as a left-back, a left-sided centre back and as a defensive midfielder.Arteta and Arsenal have already been rebuffed in their quest to sign the Argentine player. The Dutch giants have had a €30m bid turned down for Martinez from the Gunners. Continue reading →
