Owen predicts United could be back challenging for the league in one or two years, pointing to improved performances under Carrick and a summer rebuild that could accelerate the timeline. He notes the title has not returned since Ferguson left in 2013. Owen says United still need “surgery” in the squad, with Casemiro expected to leave and uncertainty around Fernandes.

Mbeumo said the routine was practiced in training and credited Evans, with analyst Kaita Hasegawa also involved.

December 2025

Ruben Amorim says Manchester United have made “no decision” on new deals for Harry Maguire and Casemiro, with both veterans edging towards the final months of their contracts despite reviving form and growing responsibility under the Portuguese coach this season.
