November 2025

Amorim admitted United need additional wing-backs with Amad’s attacking punch, explaining that his 3-4-3 system requires profiles who can both run relentlessly and create, and that current options have struggled to impose themselves in the role consistently. Defending his use of Amad at right wing-back, Amorim highlighted the player’s speed on the ball, technical quality and flexibility to play between the lines, but accepted squad characteristics are not yet ideal and signalled that future recruitment will be aimed at perfecting his preferred structure.

Manchester City have moved into pole position in a three-way battle with Manchester United and Liverpool for Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson, who is now valued privately at around £100m after emerging as one of the Premier League’s most complete young midfielders. City scouts and decision-makers rate his versatility as a number 6, 8 or advanced midfielder and view him as a long-term piece to ease Rodri’s burden. Forest do not plan to sell in January, but accept that a major post-World Cup bid next summer could force their hand.

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.

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. The attacker has featured in 14 senior games, produced two assists and impressed coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda with composure, especially in a derby start against Palmeiras. 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.

De Ligt questions United’s approach after limp defeat to 10-man Everton

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.
