Elliot Anderson
January 2026
United are being warned that Forest will fight hard to keep Anderson and could demand around £100 million, with parallels drawn to how Forest blocked a Morgan Gibbs-White exit previously.The narrative is that Marinakis would intervene, Forest would rather offer a major wage rise than sell, and United may also be monitoring defender Murillo as another difficult negotiation.
Ruben Amorim (Manchester United)
November 2025
After a disastrous 2024-25 campaign, Ruben Amorim is reportedly planning to invite legends including Eric Cantona, David Beckham, Paul Scholes, Teddy Sheringham, Andy Cole and Dwight Yorke to guide a rebuilding squad that has stabilised with recent wins and draws. A source says Amorim wants those icons to share stories, standards and pressure handling from the club’s peak years, using their presence to harden younger players mentally, reinforce what it means to represent Manchester United and support a squad already reshaped by new forwards and goalkeeper Senne Lammens.
Gareth Southgate
September 2025
Teddy Sheringham has urged Manchester United to appoint Gareth Southgate if Ruben Amorim is sacked, arguing the ex-England boss could “restructure the whole place.” United have just two wins from five games after finishing 15th last season. Despite heavy summer spending on Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha, and Bryan Mbeumo, United sit 11th in the table and crashed out of the Carabao Cup to fourth-tier Grimsby. Sheringham believes Southgate’s leadership and experience make him the steadying figure Old Trafford needs.
