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. He argues the current league season looks set for a low winning points total, so a well-run summer window could turn United into a real contender quickly.

Owen argues United should not automatically chase a big-name coach if Carrick keeps this level and delivers Champions League qualification. He says the performances look more stable and confident than anything United have shown in years. His view is that United have tried every manager profile for over a decade, and replacing a working interim solution risks repeating the same cycle. He frames Carrick’s fit, calm control, and player buy-in as reasons to commit if results hold.

Manchester United’s tentative talks about a revenue-friendly Middle East exhibition match have been paused, with Carrick’s appetite for the trip reportedly lower than under Amorim. Amorim previously argued the club needed commercial fixtures after missing Europe, but the current plan has been deprioritised.

Cristiano Ronaldo is again being linked with an exit after sitting out matches in protest over Saudi league transfer politics, but reporting says Manchester United are not positioning themselves to bring him back for a third spell. Ronaldo is frustrated about how PIF-backed clubs have strengthened and has effectively applied pressure by missing games, while the league has publicly pushed back on any suggestion he can dictate decisions. Reports also claim a release clause could be triggered in the summer, keeping global interest alive even if United do not move.

Sandro Tonali
January 2026

Reports say Manchester United are lining up a summer move for Sandro Tonali as Casemiro nears the end of his deal, with Newcastle expected to demand around £100m and Juventus also interested. United are planning midfield reinforcements and Tonali is one of several targets, alongside Elliot Anderson and Adam Wharton. Newcastle hold Tonali under contract to 2029 and would command a premium based on recent nine-figure midfield deals, and any sale would represent a major profit on their 2023 fee.

Bryan Mbeumo said Jonny Evans helped create the set-piece routine that produced United’s opener in a 2-0 win over Tottenham after Spurs went down to 10 men. Romero was sent off for a reckless challenge on Casemiro. United scored soon after from a rehearsed low corner: Fernandes played it to Mainoo’s run, Mainoo redirected into Mbeumo’s path, and Mbeumo finished first time. Mbeumo said the routine was practiced in training and credited Evans, with analyst Kaita Hasegawa also involved.
