Ruben Amorim says a blunt half time message, rather than tactical tweaks, sparked Manchester United’s 4-1 win at Wolves after Jean Ricner Bellegarde cancelled out Bruno Fernandes’ opener and briefly threatened another setback against the Premier League’s bottom club. Amorim told his players at the interval that domination meant nothing without ruthless finishing, urged them to cut out sloppy passing that was gifting Wolves belief and later played down the importance of climbing to sixth while focusing on improving performances and managing looming AFCON absences.

Benjamin Sesko’s agent says the Manchester United striker feels very good and is impatient to return after a thigh injury that has sidelined him since November’s 2-2 draw with Tottenham, having scored twice in 12 games following his £74 million move from RB Leipzig. Representative Elvis Basanovic praised coach Ruben Amorim’s charisma and long term project, stressing that Sesko needs time on the pitch with Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo to build attacking automatisms and believes patience will turn United into genuine Premier League title contenders.

Onana snubbed from Cameroon AFCON squad in fresh career setback

Andre Onana
December 2025

Andre Onana has suffered another major setback after being omitted from Cameroon’s 28-man Africa Cup of Nations squad, despite coach Rigobert Song selecting four goalkeepers, capping a brutal spell in which he lost the Manchester United number one jersey and moved on loan to Trabzonspor. Eyebrows were raised when the Indomitable Lions’ roster dropped without his name, while fellow Cameroonians Bryan Mbeumo and Georges-Kevin Nkoudou were included, deepening questions over Onana’s international future after previous disputes and adding further uncertainty to a club career already drifting.

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim plans talks with the federations of Cameroon, Ivory Coast and Morocco to delay AFCON call-ups for Mbeumo, Amad and Mazraoui so he can keep them deeper into December during a packed Premier League and FA Cup run. AFCON rules allow nations to demand players two weeks before their first group games, which could remove the trio around the Wolves match on 8 December, but United are pushing for release after Bournemouth on 15 December to limit the number of fixtures they miss.

Sesko Ruled Out For Weeks As United Sweat On Striker Depth Before AFCON

Manchester United have confirmed Benjamin Sesko faces several weeks out with a knee injury suffered in the 2-2 draw against Tottenham, leaving Ruben Amorim short of centre-forward options and raising doubts over whether the £74m striker will regain rhythm before Bryan Mbeumo departs for AFCON. Scans ruled out major ligament damage but Sesko’s setback, after only two goals in 12 games, leaves Joshua Zirkzee as the lone natural nine while United lean on academy options; Amorim also said Harry Maguire is out and Kobbie Mainoo doubtful, compounding selection problems.

Sir Alex Ferguson praised new goalkeeper Senne Lammens for an excellent early impact after Andre Onana’s loan exit, saying the Belgian looks very promising while new arrivals Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha have helped Ruben Amorim steer Manchester United away from last season’s chaos toward a steadier platform. Speaking to Raceday RTV, he said United must turn their unbeaten spell into real success, urged supporters to be patient as changes settle and insisted that runs of consecutive wins should again become normal at Old Trafford as Amorim continues shaping a stronger and more competitive squad.

Mbeumo devastated as late DR Congo goal shatters Cameroon’s World Cup dream

Bryan Mbeumo (Cameroon)
CAF play-off defeat to DR Congo for 2026 World Cup

Cameroon’s hopes of reaching the 2026 World Cup collapsed in stoppage time as DR Congo snatched a 1-0 play-off win, sending the Indomitable Lions home and leaving Bryan Mbeumo (Cameroon), one of their standout performers, visibly crushed after a gruelling qualifying campaign.
After finishing second in their group behind Cape Verde, Cameroon struggled to break down DR Congo in a tense knockout match before Chancel Mbemba (DR Congo) headed a late winner from a corner. Footage showed Mbeumo walking off alone in heavy rain toward the tunnel, needing consoling on one of the hardest nights of his international career.

Cunha details Amorim tunnel chat before United switch

Matheus Cunha (Manchester United)
November 2025

Cunha recalled a brief Old Trafford exchange with Ruben Amorim last season, later joining United after his clause was triggered. He has since become central to United’s attacking structure alongside Bryan Mbeumo, contributing link play and intensity more than raw goals. Amorim’s system grants Cunha freedom between lines to connect midfield and attack, elevating United’s press and ball progression. The forward positioned the coach’s demands as fuel to maximize output, framing culture and responsibility as the foundation for sustained impact.

De Ligt rescues late point as Spurs and United share four

United led through Bryan Mbeumo before Spurs flipped it via Mathys Tel and a Richarlison-assisted strike. Down to 10 after Benjamin Šeško’s injury with subs spent, United forced a stoppage-time equaliser when Matthijs de Ligt headed in at the back post. Spurs created pressure from wide areas—Wilson Odobert and Destiny Udogie key—while Senne Lammens kept United afloat with sharp saves. Spurs failed to kill the game after going ahead; United’s set-piece persistence earned parity in a frenetic finish that halted Spurs’ dominance.

Opta data underlines Bruno Fernandes’ creative load

Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United)
October 2025

Opta lists Fernandes top for chances created in the Premier League this season, despite a deeper role alongside a midfield partner. Since his 2020 arrival, he also leads Europe’s top five leagues for chances created overall, highlighting his centrality to United’s chance volume amid evolving attacking personnel. Amorim’s structure uses Fernandes to progress play earlier, boosting volume but suppressing assists without elite finishing or final-ball runners. United’s ceiling rises if conversion improves around Mbeumo and Cunha. Expect set-piece variety and late-arriving patterns to translate chance creation into goals without overexposing defensive rest-defence.
