Manchester United are set to sign Fortaleza teenager Cristian Orozco as part of their youth focused rebuild, with Fabrizio Romano reporting the defensive midfielder will travel to England shortly to finalise a transfer that will see him officially join the club once he turns 18 in June 2026. United will pay around one million dollars to Fortaleza, continuing Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s push for high upside prospects instead of costly superstars. Orozco follows earlier moves for Diego Leon and Sekou Kone as United plan for life after Casemiro while Mainoo struggles for minutes under Ruben Amorim, putting long term succession planning at the heart of their recruitment.

Manchester United are tracking Robinho’s teenage son at Santos and are open to a future move, with the youngster already earning first-team minutes in Brazil and generating wider European interest despite no formal offers yet arriving at the club ahead of the January window.

United face competition from Inter, Espanyol and Galatasaray, and may delay a bid until timing suits all parties.

November 2025

Manchester United’s long-running pursuit of Atalanta midfielder Ederson has been handed encouragement after his agent Andre Cury suggested the Brazilian could be available for €30–40 million in 2026, roughly half the fee Serie A side previously wanted for the in-demand all-rounder. Cury claims Atalanta once valued Ederson between €60m and €75m but may now cut their price as his contract winds down, describing him as a “spectacular” player with some of Europe’s best midfield statistics, while suitors such as Liverpool continue to monitor his situation.

Teenage forward Kai Rooney is closing in on a return from a serious injury suffered in September that left him on crutches and in a protective boot, ending a spell he described online as “life can’t get worse” while he endured a lengthy lay-off away from Manchester United’s academy pitches. Having resumed training at the start of the month, Rooney is pushing to be fit for the U18s’ FA Youth Cup clash against Peterborough, moved to Old Trafford instead of Leigh Sports Village. The tie could deliver his first appearance at the stadium, potentially alongside highly rated team-mate JJ “Kid Messi” Gabriel in a landmark night for both prospects.

Nasri sparks backlash with comments on judging Greenwood

Samir Nasri
November 2025

Former Arsenal and Manchester City midfielder Samir Nasri said Mason Greenwood “shouldn’t be judged” if his partner Harriet Robson has forgiven him, referencing the ex-Manchester United forward’s past rape and assault charges that were dropped in 2023 before his move to Marseille. Speaking on Canal+, Nasri argued public opinion should follow Robson’s forgiveness, a stance that has provoked debate given the graphic allegations that led United to move Greenwood on despite no conviction. Greenwood, now a key Marseille player, has previously admitted to “mistakes” while denying the criminal accusations.

Manchester United slumped to a 1-0 defeat against 10-man Everton, ending a five game unbeaten run and dropping to 10th in the Premier League. Despite a man advantage for over seventy minutes, United created few clear chances and never truly stretched the visitors. Everton lost Idrissa Gueye to a needless early red card and Seamus Coleman to injury, yet still struck first through Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and then defended deep. De Ligt criticised United’s passive play, overreliance on crosses, lack of runs into the box and shortage of urgency in key moments.

Ruben Amorim admitted Manchester United “deserved to lose” after falling 1-0 at home to 10-man Everton, warning his side are nowhere near competing for top spots and confessing he fears a return to the damaging mentality that undermined last season. Despite Idrissa Gueye’s early red card for confronting team-mate Michael Keane, Everton dominated early, struck through Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and then defended deep while United wasted 75 percent possession. Amorim said his players lacked intensity, vowed to keep working and insisted he is not walking away.

Ruben Amorim has reiterated that Manchester United will prioritise the club’s needs when assessing January moves for Kobbie Mainoo and Joshua Zirkzee, despite both fringe players being linked with exits to gain minutes before the 2026 World Cup. Amorim said he understands their frustration and World Cup ambitions from his own playing days, but stressed that the team comes first, making clear he will only sanction departures that also help United and will otherwise keep them as depth options.

Adeyemi chooses Arsenal project over Manchester United after weapons fine sto

Karim Adeyemi
November 2025

Adeyemi is reported to favour a move to Arsenal over Manchester United, with the Dortmund forward telling intermediaries that Mikel Arteta’s project is his first choice as the Bundesliga club set a £75m valuation that already exceeds United’s planned outlay. United’s early talks with Jorge Mendes faded once Adeyemi made his preference clear, while off the pitch he publicly apologised for receiving a knuckleduster and taser in an online “mystery box,” accepting a heavy fine and calling the episode a reckless mistake he vows not to repeat.
