Adam Wharton’s agent has admitted the Crystal Palace midfielder ultimately wants Champions League football, acknowledging that a move away from Selhurst Park is likely one day amid growing interest from Manchester United and other elite clubs ahead of the 2026 transfer window. Co-owner Steve Parish stressed Palace will only sell for a huge fee, pointing to Wharton’s long contract, focus on regular minutes and England ambitions, while accepting it is unsurprising major sides admire an “extraordinary talent” who could reach Europe either with Palace or elsewhere.

December 2025

Manchester United squandered a chance to climb into the Premier League’s top five by drawing 1-1 at home to struggling West Ham, with Ruben Amorim again leaving Kobbie Mainoo unused as United laboured creatively and conceded a late equaliser after Diogo Dalot’s opener. Pressed on Mainoo’s absence, Amorim bristled, insisting he is tired of repeated questions, that England starts do not dictate his selections and he simply chooses the “best players”, refusing to guarantee more minutes even when AFCON absences may open space in his midfield.

Ruben Amorim left Leny Yoro out of his starting eleven against West Ham and turned to Noussair Mazraoui, while giving Ayden Heaven his first start and omitting Matthijs de Ligt from the squad, insisting the decision on Yoro was a deliberate tactical call rather than punishment. After Yoro conceded a penalty at Crystal Palace and was visibly distraught on the bench, Amorim said the young defender overthinks mistakes and must handle setbacks better, praising Mason Mount’s support, stressing that Yoro remains fit and available, but that United urgently needed a different profile for a must win match.

A former rival, who later joined Inter Miami, claimed David Beckham’s behaviour on the pitch during their playing days was “pretty vulgar”, highlighting a heated confrontation with a winger who had grown up idolising the Manchester United and England icon. The criticism contrasts with Beckham’s modern image as a global ambassador and club co owner, after a decorated career with United, Real Madrid and LA Galaxy, a long partnership with Unicef and a recent knighthood recognising his impact on football and British society beyond the pitch.

Manchester United threw away a vital home win against struggling West Ham, conceding a late equaliser from Soungoutou Magassa after Diogo Dalot had put them ahead, wasting the chance to climb into the top five and deepening frustration around their stuttering league campaign. United again lacked creativity and intensity at Old Trafford, with Bruno Fernandes ineffective and Ayden Heaven shaky in his first league start, while poor control of second balls from long deliveries infuriated Ruben Amorim, who blasted his side’s inconsistency and failure to kill the game after scoring.

Manchester United lowball opening bid for Olympiacos prodigy Christos Mouzakiti

Manchester United have tabled a €28m offer for Olympiacos midfielder Christos Mouzakitis, but the bid falls short of the Greek club’s valuation, inviting Real Madrid, Arsenal and Brighton to intensify their interest in one of Europe’s most talked about young prospects. The Golden Boy Web Award winner has impressed with composure, athleticism and defensive awareness, helped Olympiacos win the 2024 UEFA Youth League and held his own in a full 90 minute Champions League outing, drawing praise from Xabi Alonso and prompting long term tracking by several top clubs including Brighton after signing Babis Kostoulas.

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.

Fernandes hails “great player” Mount after Palace winner

Mason Mount
December 2025

Bruno Fernandes praised Mason Mount’s quality and mentality after the midfielder scored a low, late winner at Selhurst Park, insisting his team-mates never doubted him despite a difficult start at United marked by injuries, patchy form and limited goals or assists. Trailing to a Jean-Philippe Mateta penalty, United’s midfield surged after half-time, with Fernandes creating both second-half goals and combining smartly from a free-kick for Mount’s decisive strike, which he hopes will trigger a sustained revival for a player Ruben Amorim already values for his movement and finishing threat.

Deco explains why Rashford is thriving away from Old Trafford

Marcus Rashford
December 2025

Deco says Rashford “suffered” under the weight of being a homegrown leader at a struggling Manchester United, arguing that a reset at Barcelona, where expectations are shared more evenly across the squad, has allowed the forward to relax and rediscover his attacking instincts. The sporting director highlights United’s chaotic rebuild over the last five years and insists Barca specifically targeted Rashford’s versatility across the front line, adding that his desire to wait for their financial situation to clear so a loan with option to buy was possible shows how badly he wanted the move

Amorim calls out anxious Dorgu and demands calm

Patrick Dorgu
November 2025

Ruben Amorim has publicly challenged Patrick Dorgu, saying the 21 year old looks more composed and decisive for Denmark than at Manchester United and admitting he feels “anxiety every time Patrick touches the ball” as the full back continues to struggle for rhythm in a new role. Signed mid season from Lecce and used as a wing back in a 3 4 3, Dorgu has been blamed for lapses in boxes, with Amorim citing a miss against Everton and insisting he must relax, cope with pressure and will get time to develop alongside Diogo Dalot in a still evolving system.
