Rasmus Hojlund’s first season as a Manchester United player was filled with intense highs and extreme lows. The highs? His remarkable run of goalscoring form. Two strikes against Luton Town meant that he became youngest player ever to score in six consecutive Premier League games. Record-breaking form. But then his lows are quite the opposite. After returning from injuries, he severely struggled to find the net, which led to uncertainty in his abilities from pundits. Hojlund has now spoken out on this when in reality, he really shouldn’t have had to. READ MORE: Who is Rasmus Hojlund? Inside th...

It might be the final game of the league season, but one Manchester United player desperately needs to be rested. Erik ten Hag has some important decisions to make over the next week, and it’ll likely directly impact whether he gets to continue next season. This time next week, Manchester United could be the FA Cup winners, heading to the Europa League regardless of what happens against Brighton. So without a doubt, it’s the final which must take priority for United and Ten Hag, which means one player needs to be given a rest ahead of said final.

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has a really tough decision to make in attack for the FA Cup final. The story of Manchester United’s season has been one of injuries. At times, Erik ten Hag has barely been able to put a team together, and has frequently had to select players out of position, see Casemiro at centre-back and Sofyan Amrabat at left-back. Finally, heading into the FA Cup Final, Erik ten Hag has a positive selection dilemma, the kind which will keep him up at night for all the right reasons. What he does know, is who will start up front. Rasmus Hojlund. Who will start alongsi...

If Manchester United keep exactly the same squad, the need for a new right-back is not as obvious as a striker, where the team is light. But sticking with the same squad will get Manchester United nowhere, and new investors Ineos recognise the need for a shake-up. Right-back is a position where the squad could be upgraded. While Diogo Dalot is under a long-term deal after signing a contract renewal in 2023, no offer has been made to Aaron Wan-Bissaka. United triggered a one-year option on Wan-Bissaka’s deal. This means the club could cash in on him this summer, and he may haveplayed his final ...

On Wednesday night, Manchester United won 3-2 with the two standout players were once again those Erik ten Hag has used sparingly. Erik ten Hag has had a turbulent campaign in charge of Manchester United, and yet it seems as though he’s destined to survive in his role. Despite some pretty horrendous form, Ten Hag has remained confident throughout and certainly doesn’t seem like a man who’s fighting for his job. In the past two games, things have even improved with slightly better performances and even control within games thanks to the new midfield choices Ten Hag has made. Now, one of his lat...

Raphael Varane’s exit from Manchester United has been confirmed. The Frenchman’s spell began with such optimism. Since Sir Alex Ferguson retired as Manchester United manager in 2013. There have not been an overwhelming number of truly happy, optimistic moments. The opening three game run under Jose Mourinho in 2016 was one such time of optimism. As was the Europa League win at the end of that season. The good times didn’t last. Just like Ole Gunnar Solskjaer‘s side’s famous win in Paris in 2019. It felt like anything was possible. It wasn’t. Another day of high hopes was Cristiano Ronaldo‘s ma...

Manchester United are set to depart ways with Raphael Varane at the end of the season, with a lot likely down to his high wages and injury record. It was confirmed on Tuesday that the five times Champions League and World Cup-winning centre-half would be leaving the Red Devils at the end of the 23/24 campaign. As sad as it is, Manchester United fans have come to the consensus it’s a correct decision. The £41m man was taking up a hefty chunk of the wage bill, but more importantly, was always in the medical tent at Old Trafford. With this, let’s take a look at his injury record during his time a...

Manchester United will not be playing Champions League football next season. The team who look likely to clinch the fourth spot will be Aston Villa. Aston Villa moved a step closer to securing fourth with a comeback draw against Liverpool, who failed to win Jurgen Klopp’s last ever Premier League away game. Liverpool had led the game 3-1, before Unai Emery brought on substitute Jhon Duran, who scored twice, and launched a thousand puns about his name with the scoresheet reading Duran, Duran. If Manchester United investors Ineos were watching, there was an important lesson for the club’s manage...

Next for Manchester United is the visit of the red-hot Arsenal, less than a week after the 4-0 loss to Crystal Palace, change is needed. This weekend, Manchester United will welcome Arsenal to Old Trafford, and after seeing what Crystal Palace did to the makeshift defence on Monday, confidence is low. Taking on the league’s top scorers in the Gunners, things could end up going very wrong in this game should United approach it in the same way that the last game was approached. In order to avoid what could risk being an embarrassment, Erik ten Hag must change his ways and abandon the plan he’s h...

If there’s still a Manchester United fan out there who is looking forward to watching their team play at the moment then they are braver than most. The majority of supporters no doubt can’t wait for this sorry season to end but there are four games to go before that and they aren’t getting much easier. Less than a week on from being humiliated 4-0 by Crystal Palace, Manchester United take on arch-rivals Arsenal on Sunday. If anything is going United’s way it’s that the Gunners tend to struggle at Old Trafford and the chance of derailing their chances of winning the title can serve as extra mot...
