Man Utd boss Jose Mourinho in SOS call to Antoine Griezmann to save United's season

Mourinho is urging United’s hierarchy to trigger the £86m release clause in the France striker’s contract with Atletico Madrid in the January transfer window – instead of waiting until the summer. He wanted Griezmann last summer before the player decided to stay in Spain but is ready to try again to revive United’s faltering campaign […]

Manchester United's Marcus Rashford is the true England star… not Harry Kane

You would never have known from Marcus Rashford’s downbeat expression after that ponderous win last Thursday night that he had again shown how important he is going to be for England. Understandable, perhaps. Because while all around him often looked bemused by the brick wall Slovenia built to defy him, the Manchester United striker was […]

Jose Mourinho suggests Victor Lindelof will be eased into Manchester United's first team

Lindelof became Manchester United’s first signing of the summer when he completed his £30million move from Benfica and has featured heavily in their tour of the United States. The Sweden international has played in all five of their pre-season friendlies, in which they lost only once to Barcelona. Mourinho is happy with Lindelof’s contribution so […]

Paper round-up: Manchester United's Gareth Bale hope, Chelsea eye Everton and Arsenal raid

Manchester United have been given some fresh hope of landing Real Madrid ace Gareth Bale.  The Red Devils have been long-time admirers of the Welshman and could make a move for his signature after Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane couldn’t guarantee he will stay at the Bernabeu this summer. “I want everyone who is here […]

Jose Mourinho claims Celta Vigo tie is the biggest match in Manchester United's history

Manchester United may have been champions of the world twice, champions of Europe three times, lifted 20 League titles and countless domestic cups but none of that matters to Jose Mourinho at this moment. It is some leap from his stance back in September when he admitted it was a competition United did not want […]

Chelsea target torn over move: This could play into Man United's hands

Antonio Conte appears increasingly resigned to losing Diego Costa. Reports emerged last week suggesting Diego Costa will move to Chinese Super League outfit Tianjin Quanjian, with a pre-contract agreement imminent. Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata is on the Blues’ agenda, as they seek to bolster their strike force. Jose Mourinho, meanwhile, is keen to make […]

Manchester United's Zlatan Ibrahimovic to retire from football – report

But the Daily Star claim the Swede may now retire from the game altogether. They claim a source close to Jose Mourinho has confirmed the player’s career is over. Zlatan Ibrahimovic is out of contract at the end of the season and United are unlikely to trigger a one-year extension on his £250,000-a-week wages if […]

Jose Mourinho blasts Manchester United's strikers for Anderlecht draw

The Manchester United boss was left fuming at his side’s failure to add to Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s 37th minute strike before the Belgian’s forced an 86th minute equaliser through Leander Dendoncker’s bullet header. Mourinho insisted his side still remain favourites going into next week’s second leg at Old Trafford. But he made it clear he blamed […]

Jose Mourinho makes shock claim about Manchester United's Champions League hopes

Jose Mourinho says he is considering playing stronger teams in the Europa League than the Premier League because Europe’s second tier competition offers a back door route into next season’s Champions League and could be easier to win than finishing in the top four. Manchester United have been unable to break into the top four […]

Jose Mourinho: Luke Shaw has the potential to become Man United's greatest left-back

Shaw has made only one start in the last four months and his absence from the 18-man squad for the EFL Cup final fuelled rumours Mourinho had lost patience with the £28m defender. Jose Mourinho has preferred Daley Blind, Marcos Rojo, both centre-backs, and even the right-footed Matteo Darmian to Shaw in the left-back slot […]
