Paul Pogba
March 2026
Nainggolan claimed Pogba “only had three good years” and said he was better than Pogba in their Serie A era, as Pogba struggles to make an impact at Monaco in a World Cup year. Pogba’s four-year doping ban was cut to 18 months on appeal, Juventus released him, and he joined Monaco on a two-year deal. Fitness issues have limited his influence, prompting criticism like Nainggolan’s comments to Sportium.fun.
Mason Mount
March 2026
Mount is reportedly not pushing for an exit and wants to rebuild his United career after injury disruption. Despite interest from Villa and Fulham, he is focusing on fitness and availability to prove value and earn a regular role.
Andre Onana
March 2026
Trabzonspor say they will not buy Onana at United’s reported €45m–€50m asking price, leaving his future unclear. United replaced Onana with Senne Lammens after errors, then loaned Onana out. Trabzonspor acknowledge his contributions but state the fee is beyond their budget, while noting Onana prefers to stay in Europe if he does not return to England.
Casemiro
March 2026
Casemiro arrived at St James’ Park with a pronounced black eye and cheek swelling, then scored United’s equaliser before they lost 2-1 to 10-man Newcastle. The bruising reportedly came from a late collision in the 2-1 win over Crystal Palace; at Newcastle he headed in from a Fernandes set piece for his sixth league goal, with four of his league goals coming from Fernandes dead-ball deliveries.
Manchester United
March 2026
Rossi urged United’s ownership and leadership to stop focusing on revenue and refocus on building a trophy-winning team, pointing to City’s dominance since 2013. He referenced United’s post-Ferguson decline, heavy transfer spend with limited return, and argued recent progress under Carrick can be a platform if priorities shift toward winning.
Noussair Mazraoui
March 2026
Concern is growing that Mazraoui has picked up another injury after footage showed him leaving the stadium with a heavy limp, adding to United’s existing defensive absences. Mazraoui appeared in distress late on and was replaced, Malacia came on for a rare run-out, and United are already missing Matthijs de Ligt (back), Lisandro Martinez (calf) and Patrick Dorgu (hamstring).
Michael Carrick
March 2026
United lost 2-1 at Newcastle despite playing the whole second half against 10 men, with Osula scoring a last-minute winner after Casemiro’s equaliser cancelled Gordon’s penalty. Ramsey was sent off late in the first half, Newcastle still led through Gordon’s spot-kick after a Fernandes foul, Casemiro levelled from a set-piece, and United missed chances before Osula curled home late.
Manchester United U18s
March 2026
United’s U18s overturned an early deficit to beat West Ham 3-1 after extra time, booking a place in the Premier League Cup final against Crystal Palace. The match went to extra time before United pulled away, with 16-year-old Kai Rooney scoring off the bench and JJ Gabriel also playing a key role, watched by Ratcliffe.
