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.

Stuttgart playmaker Angelo Stiller is attracting serious interest from Real Madrid, Manchester United, Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund after an outstanding season, although sporting director Fabian Wohlgemuth insists there have been no formal offers and says it is too early to speculate. Wohlgemuth acknowledged that Stiller’s performances and potential World Cup prospects naturally draw heavyweight attention, but stressed the midfielder remains under contract and that Stuttgart are simply enjoying his influence for now while accepting that elite clubs will keep him under close watch.

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.

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.

Amorim has United training six days a week, with only Mondays guaranteed off, using the lack of European fixtures to impose a demanding schedule aimed at raising standards after last season’s failures and rebuilding a culture of hard work and discipline. A typical week at Carrington now features high-intensity Tuesday sessions, long Wednesday tactical and physical blocks, lighter Thursday recovery, focused Friday game-prep, matchday Saturday and Sunday recovery, with Amorim favouring short video clips and on-pitch walkthroughs instead of long analysis meetings.

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim plans talks with the federations of Cameroon, Ivory Coast and Morocco to delay AFCON call-ups for Mbeumo, Amad and Mazraoui so he can keep them deeper into December during a packed Premier League and FA Cup run. AFCON rules allow nations to demand players two weeks before their first group games, which could remove the trio around the Wolves match on 8 December, but United are pushing for release after Bournemouth on 15 December to limit the number of fixtures they miss.

Inter Milan are reportedly exploring a January deal for Emiliano Martinez as they consider upgrading in goal, with Aston Villa believed to be open to selling the Argentine if a substantial offer arrives after a failed summer switch to Manchester United. With doubts over current No.1 Yann Sommer, Cristian Chivu’s side are assessing alternatives and see Martinez’s penalty record, big-game pedigree and leadership as attractive qualities for a team targeting both another Serie A title and a deeper Champions League run.

Manchester United have confirmed Benjamin Sesko faces several weeks out with a knee injury suffered in the 2-2 draw against Tottenham, leaving Ruben Amorim short of centre-forward options and raising doubts over whether the £74m striker will regain rhythm before Bryan Mbeumo departs for AFCON. Scans ruled out major ligament damage but Sesko’s setback, after only two goals in 12 games, leaves Joshua Zirkzee as the lone natural nine while United lean on academy options; Amorim also said Harry Maguire is out and Kobbie Mainoo doubtful, compounding selection problems.

Mane explains why he rejected Van Gaal’s Manchester United pitch

Sadio Mane
November 2025

Sadio Mane has revealed he turned down Manchester United after a direct pitch from Louis van Gaal, admitting he was unconvinced he would play regularly ahead of established attackers and chose to remain at Southampton before later sealing a career-defining move to Liverpool in 2016. Speaking now as an Al Nassr forward, Mane says his younger self needed more development time and clearer backing, recalling how he questioned his place alongside Wayne Rooney, Robin van Persie, Angel Di Maria, Memphis Depay and Anthony Martial before deciding Anfield offered the better pathway.

Wes Brown pours cold water on talk of McTominay return to Manchester United

Scott McTominay
November 2025

Scott McTominay’s explosive form for Napoli has sparked talk of a dramatic Old Trafford return, but Wes Brown says a move back to Manchester United is highly unlikely, even as he hails the midfielder’s rise into a goal-scoring leader for club and country. Sold for £26m in 2024, McTominay has thrived in a freer role, hitting 13 goals, winning Serie A MVP and driving Scotland back to the World Cup, with Brown arguing he now plays in his true box-to-box position and would cost United a premium they are unlikely to pay.
