Manchester United

United are busy assessing and putting together their plans for 2026 and midfield is an area we know is somewhere they have major plans for. The club are actively working on this and are dismissing the notion of any shortlist ahead of next summer. Angelo Stiller and Manu Kone are two players that United are already well versed on, they like them both and are keeping close tabs on them.

A late victory away to one of their fiercest rivals amid the backdrop of a tumultuous run of results - Manchester United have been here before. At the time, it was a result that felt like a springboard. Instead, though, Amorim's side would go on to lose their next three Premier League games. History repeated itself after they produced another stirring performance away to Liverpool before conspiring to lose three of their next five in the top-flight.

The player is reportedly a target for Manchester United, as per INews. The 25-year-old has been exceptional in the Premier League this season, with six goals in the league already. He has shown that he's capable of competing at the highest level and playing for the biggest clubs in the country. Liverpool need more quality and depth in the attacking unit, and the African would be an excellent addition.

Depending on the severity of the injury and the extent of the surgical procedure, Branthwaite could be sidelined for a number of months. Typically, athletes undergoing major surgery on that part of the body will spend up to six weeks with the aid of crutches, to limit the load-bearing effect on the recovering muscle tissue. Only then, are they able to make a return to more rigorous activity in a gradual, carefully-managed manner.

When you're a centre half and you're a big player, last year we were on about who was going to stay and he signed a big contract, then you're giving up loads of goals. I'd be looking at him and asking what are you doing'? Particularly as a big leader of the team. A couple of years ago we talked about United parking the bus here and we were critical. Now they've scored two today and two last year and you're the centre half.

We won't get carried away because we can't afford that as a club, we will use it as motivation,

Eric Cantona has been approached by a consortium of investors based in the United Arab Emirates to act as an ambassador for a potential bid to buy Manchester United. Wayne Rooney and David Beckham are also on the group's radar for similar roles. The consortium is still being drawn together as it seeks the finance to firm up their interest in buying the club before it can approach the six Glazer siblings, who collectively are United's majority owners.

Dalot is bloody awful today Mark Goldbridge (@markgoldbridge) October 19, 2025 Fascinating half. Hitting the woodwork twice flatters Liverpool. Amorim has got the Casemiro and Cunha calls right. Amad and Mbeumo such an incisive duo. Shaw and Fernandes excellent. Absence of Yoro's pace inviting Liverpool onto #mufc at times though Dalot their weakest player.

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has admitted he made Amad Diallo a bit upset by subbing him off against Liverpool today. The Red Devils earned a big win at Anfield, with goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Harry Maguire delivering their first three points at this stadium since all the way back in 2016. Amorim was delighted with how Amad played, with the talented young wing-back setting up the Mbeumo goal with a superb pass and generally putting in a great shift up and down that right flank.

It's a strange situation for Casemiro because he is still a very important player for Manchester United, a very important starter for Ruben Amorim, one of the most important players in the dressing room. His status is not just about the performance, but he is a serial winner. He is unbelievable in leadership as a player. He's still a starter, but at the moment, there are no negotiations to extend his contract.

Shaw, Maguire, Casemiro, they've all been great players but they're at a stage of their career now where you get found out in the Premier League if you're not physically good enough,' he told The Times. Their bodies are not athletic enough, they're not strong enough, they're not quick enough. They've dropped to a level where they can't cope with what's needed in the Premier League.

The Moroccan full-back has been a key part of Amorim's plans this season, offering defensive solidity and attacking support down the right flank. However, his participation this weekend is in doubt after he missed United's last two matches and withdrew from international duty due to fitness issues.

"It's not something I'm thinking about. It'll always be 'we' (with Spurs) because I spent my whole life there. I'm a fan of them and will always watch them and see how they're getting on. They will always be a part of my life for sure but as for now, I'm loving it here."

It is Liverpool against Manchester United and a manager is on a historically bad run. Not Ruben Amorim, either, who has equalled his longest winning sequence in the Premier League as United head coach (admittedly, that is only one victory). But Arne Slot has suffered three successive defeats for the first time: in his managerial career, not merely in his reign on Merseyside.

"I think the environment hasn't been right but that is down to yourself. "If you are not playing well or you get left out of the team then I think it is easier to blame the environment and whether that is right or wrong. I think that comes from how you apply yourself. "In games we have seen with him where we know he can do more, we know he can run more - that is nothing to do with an environment."
