Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag remains convinced that he is capable of rescuing his team’s season after they closed out 2023 with a disappointing 2-1 loss away at Nottingham Forest, marking their ninth defeat in 20 Premier League matches. Man United now find themselves nine points adrift of a spot in the top four.

Ten Hag is convinced that he will maintain the confidence of INEOS director of sport Dave Brailsford once the company completes its 25% takeover of the club. “Of course, they [INEOS] know me and they know when I have the squad what is available then the results will be there,” Ten Hag stated. “We have already proved against the top teams that we can go head to head.”

According to Ten Hag, the team overperformed during the previous campaign; the Dutch manager’s debut season with the club. He insisted that Man United’s results will improve once several key players return from injury following prolonged periods on the sidelines. The manager admitted that consistency is his squad’s biggest problem, which is evident after they came back from a two-goal deficit to defeat Aston Villa on Boxing Day.

Manchester United have confirmed their confidence in completing a deal for Atalanta striker Rasmus Höjlund. Talks between the Premier League team and Atalanta are moving forward after United informed the Italian team that they are willing to pay €50 million ($56m) for the Danish international.

While a gap remains between Man United’s offer and Atalanta’s valuation of the player, sources have claimed that Atalanta are willing to reach a compromise to get the deal over the line.

Höjlund has been named as the most likely signing that United will complete this summer as they continue to prioritize their search for a new striker.

“We are working 24/7 [to sign a striker]. We do a lot in the club, all the power to get this done,” United manager Erik ten Hag announced.

While Höjlund remains at the top of the Red Devils’ shortlist, they are also exploring the possibility of signing Eintracht Frankfurt forward Randal Kolo Muani and Ajax frontman Mohammed Kudus as alternatives should a bid for Höjlund prove unsuccessful.

In the meantime, winger Marcus Rashford has been used as a striker as United continues their search. Even if Höjlund arrives at Old Trafford, Rashford may still need to play down the center on occasion as the new signing adjusts to Premier League life.

Sources revealed to ESPN that Manchester United is not willing to go over £60 million ($79 million) in order to close a deal for priority transfer target Rasmus Hojlund this summer.

The Red Devils’ previous bid for the Atalanta striker was rejected, with the team on different pages when it comes to the transfer fees they have in mind for the player. While United manager Erik ten Hag is prioritizing his search for a striker to add firepower to his squad up front, he is also looking at other options in an effort to avoid overpaying.

Although Atalanta is looking for a hefty fee for the 20-year-old player because he remains under contract until 2027, Man United feels that a valuation of over £85 million for the player is unjustified, specifically since he lacks experience and only scored nine goals in the Serie A last season.

In San Diego on United’s preseason tour of the United States, Ten Hag confirmed his determination to sign a striker this preseason. “We make progress, yes, but we know how it works and when we have him, we will tell you directly,” he explained during a press conference ahead of the Red Devils’ game against Wrexham.

Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al-Thani is set to submit a third bid to acquire Manchester United before the deadline for the third round of offers at 10 p.m. GMT on Friday. Sources have claimed that the Qatari banker remains confident of completing the purchase despite rumors that the current owners, the Glazer family, are hoping to find an investment route that will enable them to remain owners.

Following the third round of bids, the Raine Group, the merchant bank handling the sales process on behalf of the Glazers, is expected to name a preferred bidder with whom they will enter a period of exclusivity once the third round of bidding ends.

British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe is also expected to submit a new bid, as are several companies who will look to only acquire a minority share in the club, thereby enabling the Glazer family to remain majority owners. They include Elliott Management, Ares Management Corporation, Sixth Street, and Carlyle.

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag expressed dissatisfaction with his team’s performance after they let go of a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with Tottenham Hotspur in Thursday night’s Premier League clash in London.

The Red Devils raced into the lead with goals from Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford in the first 44 minutes of play, putting them in full control going into the halftime break.

Early in the second half, the home team appeared revitalized, with Pedro Porro pulling a goal back 11 minutes after the break. After an extended period of dominance, Son Heung-Min rewarded Spurs’ efforts, scoring to put them level in the 79th minute.

“Some thought 90 percent is enough,” ten Hag said after the game. “If we lose focus, that’s why we gave balls away, we didn’t do our jobs in position and then you concede goals. In both goals, it was the case. But more, you lose control of the game.”

Currently six points ahead of the fifth-placed Spurs and with two games in hand, Man Utd remains in poll position to finish the Premier League in the top four and secure Champions League qualification next season provided they finish the season in top form.

Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes is an injury doubt for the team’s Premier League showdown against Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday night, sources familiar with the matter have revealed.

Fernandes picked up an ankle injury during the first half of the Red Devils’ FA Cup semifinal tie against Brighton & Hove Albion; a game that Man Utd won 7-6 on penalties following a goalless draw.

While manager Erik ten Hag and his coaching staff debated taking Fernandes off at halftime due to his injury, the Portuguese international was determined to continue with the game. He ended up being substituted during the first half of extra time.

Although Fenrnades was seen limping when he left Wembley Stadium after the game, he was not wearing a protective boot or any other form of support. He is due to be assessed by Man Utd’s medical staff on Monday, after which a decision will be made regarding whether or not he will train with the rest of the team ahead of the Spurs game.

Man Utd is currently fourth in the Premier League and challenging for a spot in next season’s UEFA Champions League.

Manchester United owners Joel and Avram Glazer are hopeful that they will be able to secure the external investment that they need in order to retain ownership in the Premier League club, a source claimed on Tuesday.

Last November, the Glazer family announced that it would be exploring “all strategic alternatives, including new investment into the club, a sale, or other transactions,” in an effort to generate the funds required to transform the team and upgrade Old Trafford stadium, which has been overlooked as a venue for the joint United Kingdom and Ireland bid to host Euro 2028.

Currently, there are several parties who have submitted bids to buy Man Utd from the Glazers. They include a group led by Qatari banker Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al Thani as well as British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the founder of the INEOS chemical company and Britain’s richest man.

The Raine Group, the firm overseeing the bidding process on behalf of the club, has set an April 28 deadline for the third round of bids on the club.

Manchester United was held to a 2-2 draw with Sevilla in the first leg of their Europa League quarterfinal clash on Thursday night. The crowd at Old Trafford was speechless as Man Utd scored two own goals to give up a two-goal lead and miss out on what would have been a crucial home victory.

The hosts got their game off to an ideal start when central midfielder Marcel Sabitzer scored in the 14th minute. Five minutes later, Sabitzer found the back of the net again to put the Red Devils firmly in the driving seat.

While anything but a win seemed unlikely for the Premier League side, they were unexpectedly caught off guard in the 84th minute when defender Tyrell Malacia turned a Jesus Navas cross into his own net.

In an incident that proved that lightning could indeed strike twice, substitute Harry Maguire accidentally headered the ball into the back of his own net in the 92nd minute, thereby handing Sevilla a comeback at the death of the match.

Sevilla will host Man Utd at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium for the second leg on Thursday, April 20.

Manchester United was held to a 2-2 draw with Sevilla in the first leg of their Europa League quarterfinal clash on Thursday night. The crowd at Old Trafford was speechless as Man Utd scored two own goals to give up a two-goal lead and miss out on what would have been a crucial home victory.

The hosts got their game off to an ideal start when central midfielder Marcel Sabitzer scored in the 14th minute. Five minutes later, Sabitzer found the back of the net again to put the Red Devils firmly in the driving seat.

While anything but a win seemed unlikely for the Premier League side, they were unexpectedly caught off guard in the 84th minute when defender Tyrell Malacia turned a Jesus Navas cross into his own net.

In an incident that proved that lightning could indeed strike twice, substitute Harry Maguire accidentally headered the ball into the back of his own net in the 92nd minute, thereby handing Sevilla a comeback at the death of the match.

Sevilla will host Man Utd at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium for the second leg on Thursday, April 20.
