Erik ten Hag insists he's not Harry Potter - but Man Utd boss shouldn't need a magic wand to beat struggling Southampton. #eriktenhag #harrypotter #manchesterunited #football #southampton

Enzo Maresca says Jadon Sancho has produced exactly what he expected from him so far in Chelsea training, but it is Noni Madueke who he feels is the club’s most dangerous winger right now. Sancho completed his somewhat unexpected loan move from Manchester United to Stamford Bridge before the transfer deadline but is yet to make his debut for the Blues. He looked to impress his new boss, Maresca, during the international break, and it seems like he managed that, with the Italian speaking highly of the England international. ‘He has been exactly what I expected,’ Maresca told club media. ‘He’s a very good player, a one-v-one player with quality in the last third. I’m sure he’s going to help us. #footballfanarena #ffa #chelsea #enzomaresca #sancho #manchesterunited #transferwindow #football #premierleague

Graeme Souness has warned Chelsea’s owners their transfer strategy is ‘creating a monster’ with the decision to replace Raheem Sterling with Jadon Sancho another example of their questionable approach. Having publicly deemed Sterling surplus to requirements, Arsenal pounced on transfer deadline day to sign the experienced England international on loan until the end of the season. Subsequent reports claim the Gunners are paying less than a third of the 29-year-old’s salary, which means the Blues are effectively paying around £10million to let Sterling represent one of their main rivals until June. Souness fears that decision represents a grave error, with Enzo Maresca’s chances of succeeding only further undermined by the signing of Jadon Sancho who has struggled to adapt to the Premier League since his move to Manchester United three years ago. #footballfanarena #ffa #manchesterunited #liverpool #arsenal #mikelarteta #premierleague #enzomaresca #souness #football

Antony will reportedly continue at Manchester United despite a late push to head to Turkey in a loan deal. The 24-year-old has found it difficult to break into Erik ten Hag's first-team plans at United this season. His only appearance so far was a brief 89th-minute cameo against Brighton, raising questions about his future at the club. The former Ajax star had reportedly expressed his desire to leave on loan in search of regular game time, with several clubs keen to secure his services including Turkish giants Fenerbahce, coached by former Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho. The Turkish transfer window is still open until September 13. #footballfanarena #ffa #manchesterunited #antony #eriktenhag #transferwindow #football

Manchester United and Chelsea have been handed a boost in their pursuit of Jonathan Tah, with the Bayer Leverkusen defender keen to secure a transfer move to the Premier League. Tah, 28, has just one year remaining on his current contract at Leverkusen and has no intention of extending his stay with the German champions beyond the end of the 2024/25 campaign. The sought-after centre-back repeatedly knocked back Leverkusen’s attempts to place him on a new deal this summer and made no secret of his desire for a fresh challenge while speaking to the media ahead of Germany’s 5-0 victory over Hungary last weekend. #footballfanarena #ffa #manchesterunited #tah #bayerleverkusen #transferwindow #football #premierleague

Manchester United were one of three teams interested in signing Cristian Romero this summer with Tottenham refusing to listen to offers for their centre-half. Romero initially joined Tottenham on loan from Atalanta in 2021 with the move made permanent the following year in a deal worth £46million. The 26-year-old has developed into one of the best centre-halves in the Premier League, forming an impressive partnership under Micky van de Ven under Ange Postecouglou in north London having also played a key role in Argentina’s recent World Cup and Copa America triumphs. TYC Sports reports there was substantial interest in Romero during the summer transfer window, with United, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain showing interest in luring him away from Spurs. #footballfanarena #ffa #manchesterunited #tottenham #premierleague #realmadrid #spur #transferwindow #football

Arsenal have lost another academy star to Manchester United this summer after talented goalkeeper Hubert Graczyk made the switch to Old Trafford. Graczyk, who joined Arsenal from Everton when he was 14, was let go by the Gunners when his contract expired at the end of last season. The 21-year-old was not long without a club, though, and has now completed the move to join United’s Under-21s side for the upcoming season. While the deal has not been officially confirmed, Graczyk was named on the bench for United’s Under-21s last Friday as they beat Blackburn Rovers 3-1 in the Premier League 2. #footballfanarena #ffa #manchesterunited #arsenal #everton #premierleague #graczyk #transferwindow #football

Manchester United chiefs Dan Ashworth and Omar Berrada have thrown their full support behind Erik ten Hag despite the club’s poor performance against Liverpool. Despite a disappointing eighth-place finish in the Premier League, Ten Hag remained in his post over the summer thanks, in part, to his side’s unlikely FA Cup win over Manchester City. However, the pressure is firmly back on the Dutchman after a sluggish start to the season which has seen them fall to a late defeat against Brighton before being thumped 3-0 by Liverpool at Old Trafford. Both Ashworth and Berrada arrived over the summer as fresh appointments by Sir Jim Ratcliffe to change the club’s footballing structure. #footballfanarena #ffa #manchesterunited #liverpool #mancity #eriktenhag #ashworth #berrada #facup #football

Owen Hargreaves says that while he likes Joshua Zirkzee, he isn’t the answer to Manchester United’s goalscoring problems. Zirkzee joined United from Bologna over the summer for around £36million and made an instant impact, scoring the winner against Fulham on his debut. He made his first start for the club in the 3-0 loss against Liverpool on Sunday and was arguably the Red Devils’ best player in a rather dismal display. The centre-forward came close to scoring twice and looks to be Erik ten Hag’s best hope up top in the absence of the injured Rasmus Hojlund. #footballfanarena #ffa #manchesterunited #liverpool #fulham #owen #zirkzee #eriktenhag #football
