Osimhen has been linked with a transfer to Old Trafford and the Premier League for several seasons, but last month appeared to end ongoing speculation over his future last summer with a 65million move to Galatasaray, following a successful loan spell from Napoli. The Nigeria international has been prolific in Turkey, scoring 49 goals in 57 appearances, which is in stark contrast to the figures put up by the likes of Joshua Zirkzee for United in the same period.
One of the toughest things for any player to get to grips with, when coming to the Premier League, is the language. Almost everybody speaks English, even the foreign stars, and so it's vital you learn quickly. Yet Kleberson, who joined Manchester United from Athletico Paranaense in 2003, at the age of 23, actually found the language barrier helpful on a couple of occasions.
Mazraoui, we're getting a lot of questions today, guys, apart from the fact that the player is busy in the Africa Cup of Nations and therefore there's nothing imminent, nothing concrete, about Mazraoui up to this point. Let's say the same thing we said about Zirkzee is valid, the same thing we said about Kobbie Mainoo is valid. Manchester United is going through a moment of change. I think this is always a bit underestimated when it comes to United.
Most FPL teams contain at least a couple of City players and the odd United asset. Manchester derbies averaged 3.1 goals per league game over the five seasons from 2020-21 to 2024-25, while City won 3-0 at Etihad Stadium earlier in 2025-26. However, two of the past five league games at Old Trafford have been 0-0, and that is the venue this weekend. Will there be goals on Saturday? If you think so, then start your attacking assets from both sides with confidence.
One of the highlights of Ruben Amorim's doomed spell in charge at Manchester United came in a derby, with Amad Diallo netting a late winner in a 2-1 victory over Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. That triumph came a month into Amorim's reign at Old Trafford in December 2024, but the man that United had backed as the head coach (or manager, if you ask him) to lead them into a bright new era, did not last.
My first reaction was: 'I'm going home, I'm going to be with my family in Argentina. Enough, I don't want to suffer anymore, I want to be well, I want to enjoy life.' But when you are unbalanced, you can say anything because you aren't connected with yourself. I obviously accepted those three weeks of mourning, where I wasn't myself.
Hayden Hackney has been linked with a move away from Middlesbrough in recent months, and Manchester United could be a potential destination. Michael Carrick has been appointed as the inter manager at Old Trafford and he is reportedly keen on a reunion with the midfielder. Hackney was a key player for him when he was managing the Championship club. It will be interesting to see if Manchester United can get the deal done.
Thomas Tuchel has done well The 52-year-old has done an impressive job with the England national team so far, and he will be hoping to guide them to a major trophy soon. Manchester United are hoping to make a move for him, and it remains to be seen whether they can convince the German to take over at the club level after the World Cup.
According to a report from Bolavip, Manchester United are interested in the player and have been closely following his progress. They will face competition from Real Madrid and Barcelona. The 17-year-old Ecuadorian is a promising young player with a bright future, and it will be interesting to see if Manchester United can win the race for his signature. The report claims that the player is considered the new Moises Caicedo.
There is no point keeping a player who doesn't want to be playing and I would rather see a young player come through who really wants to play and contribute to the clubs long term success. In terms of looking to sell, I think Carrick must look to find the key players who he thinks will be in his immediate plans and play them. I don't think this is time for him to give everyone a run out.
