Manchester United and Manchester City are keeping close tabs on Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott, with both clubs considering a summer move for the highly rated 22-year-old, according to TEAMtalk. With just over two years remaining on his contract, Scott could be available for a reduced fee at the end of the season, a situation that has alerted several Premier League giants.
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.
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.
Two names I can guarantee will be considered by INEOS are Thomas Tuchel and Roberto De Zerbi. Today [I've received] many questions on De Zerbi. Let me clarify again, Tuchel is fully focused on England of course, and nothing can be agreed while there is a World Cup coming in the summer, so eventually after that. De Zerbi is doing a great job at Marseille, his focus is on Marseille.
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.
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.
Brazilian forward Geyse departed Manchester United and signed for Club America on a permanent deal this week. The 27-year-old joined Manchester United from Barcelona in 2023 for a club-record fee at the time, but after a family bereavement last year, she spoke out about not feeling happy at the club. This led to a successful loan move to Gotham FC, where she played 17 matches and won the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) championship.
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.
Nani, the former Portugal international who played for Manchester United from 2007 to 2014, believes the Red Devils can be back competing for every trophy in the near future, but they need a "coach with a good personality".

Danny Welbeck's strike in Brighton's 2-1 FA Cup third round victory on Sunday was his eighth career goal in all competitions against United his joint best record against any opposition, prompting former teammate Phil Jones to say United fans would "take him back in a heartbeat".
