Micky van de Ven is emerging as a major summer target, with Manchester United and Liverpool both linked strongly to the Tottenham defender. Current reporting suggests Liverpool may hold an edge in the player’s preference. United are looking for a left-sided central defender, while Liverpool view Van de Ven as a long-term elite fit. Tottenham’s difficult season has intensified the speculation, especially with wider reports suggesting he could leave if the club’s situation worsens.

Manchester United failed in their attempt to overturn Lisandro Martinez’s red card for pulling Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s hair. The dismissal stands and Martinez must serve the full three-match suspension. ESPN’s refereeing review said the VAR intervention was always likely once the hair-pull was spotted, and later reporting confirmed United’s appeal was unsuccessful. Carrick has said he strongly disagrees with the call, but accepted that the club now has to move on

Reports say Sir Jim Ratcliffe wants Manchester United to listen to offers for Manuel Ugarte after being unimpressed by his display in the 2-1 loss to Leeds. This is report-based, not an official club confirmation. The latest reporting claims the Leeds performance was a tipping point in a wider INEOS review of underperforming signings. United are said to be preparing a broader summer clear-out and could redirect funds toward midfield targets such as Elliot Anderson, Carlos Baleba and Adam Wharton.

Manchester City are now described as being in pole position to sign Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest this summer, ahead of interest from Manchester United and Arsenal. Sky Sports reported City as the current frontrunner in the race. City are reshaping their midfield with Bernardo Silva leaving and uncertainty around other central players.

Chelsea’s defeat to Manchester United was followed by reports of dressing-room tension involving Alejandro Garnacho. The winger, facing his former club, was said to have been confronted by teammates at half-time after a poor first-half display. The reporting comes from tabloid-origin claims relayed by Goal, not from a club statement or wider confirmed reporting. Garnacho came on early for the injured Estevao but struggled badly, with his defensive lapse on Bruno Fernandes preceding Matheus Cunha’s winner. The same report says frustration also showed on the pitch, where Cole Palmer was seen reacting to Garnacho’s repeated turnovers.

Paul Pogba says Bruno Fernandes would be in Ballon d’Or contention if he were playing for Manchester City instead of Manchester United. Pogba argued that Fernandes already produces elite output, but individual recognition follows team success. Speaking on Rio Ferdinand’s podcast, Pogba said Fernandes is being held back by United’s environment rather than his own level. His point was that players in winning systems receive far more global recognition than equally productive players in unstable teams.

Paul Parker has claimed UEFA want Manchester United back in the Champions League final, but the wider point is that United are still trying to end a 15-year absence from European football’s biggest match.

He believes a strong finish under Carrick could be the start of a rebuild toward real European contention.
