Toone, Russo & co have changed the narrative – Man United are ... (The Athletic)

After defeat to Chelsea it seemed it could be another one of those seasons - now United face Man City with a chance to make a huge statement.

United’s defence have shown frailties in the past — the error-strewn 6-1 defeat to Chelsea last season being the antithesis of their big game issues. Russo is becoming one of the best No 9s in the WSL, adding great hold-up play to her already dynamic direct runs and aerial dominance. But, after following up that Arsenal win with a storming 5-0 victory against Aston Villa at Old Trafford, United are finally looking up and applying pressure on Arsenal and Chelsea in the title race. Toone currently leads the league for passes into the penalty box (25) and has completed the third-highest number of progressive passes (41). Inspired by a vocal United away section and some poor Arsenal defending, United stormed to a 3-2 away win, handing Arsenal their first defeat of the season. They had been pushing for a number of years to challenge for Europe and the title but once again were just coming up short in key moments against title-contending teams.

Erik ten Hag unhappy with how Man United started friendly defeat (Pundit Arena)

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag was unhappy with how his players started in a 4-2 defeat to Cadiz on Wednesday evening.

We came in the game, but we couldn’t make the equaliser before half-time.” We were not awake in the defence but also in the midfield we got ran off. “They run, they fight. “They gave energy,” he said. I think it was a clear one and I think maybe the second half we deserved another penalty, but the first one was a clear one. We have seen, the second goal can’t happen.

Kobbie Mainoo Takes His Chance At Manchester United (Forbes)

Ahead of Manchester United's friendly against Cadiz at the Neuvo Mirandilla on Wednesday evening the United manager Erik ten Hag had said the game ...

There is an expectation United will send him out on loan, possibly as soon as January, to gain some more first team experience with either a Championship side or in Europe. This season Mainoo has been playing mainly with the Under-21s, but he has also been asked to train with the first team and was given a place on the bench by Ten Hag for United’s Premier League game against Newcastle in October. Mainoo’s mature display came as no surprise to the United coaches who have been expecting him to make some form of an appearance in the first team this season.

Man Utd left seething as transfer target warned Old Trafford move ... (Teamtalk.com)

Erik ten Hag and Manchester United will likely be angry after a midfield target was urged to snub their advances and instead join a Premier League rival ...

He is getting the best out of Casemiro, Lisandro Martinez and Rashford. However, Ten Hag also wanted a creative midfielder to join his squad, namely Frenkie de Jong. Of course, Man Utd did spend an initial £60m to capture Brazil international Casemiro from Real Madrid. They currently sit in fifth spot on 26 points, three points behind fourth-placed Tottenham and with a game in hand on the north London side. The Manchester giants are in desperate need of a striker following Cristiano Ronaldo’s exit by mutual consent. Manager Ten Hag will likely rest players who have reached the knockout rounds of the World Cup with their countries, such as Bruno Fernandes of Portugal and England star Marcus Rashford.

United said the process of a sale was designed to enhance future growth, but added that the club 'will consider all strategic alternatives, including new investment into the club, a sale, or other transactions'.

Similarly, United as a company also had made a £115.5m loss. 'Indeed the Fan Advisory Board on which MUST holds two places was set up specifically to facilitate open dialogue on strategic issues such as this. By comparison, Chelsea's Todd Boehly-led consortium took over at Stamford Bridge last summer for £4.25bn. [Manchester United](/sport/teampages/manchester-united.html)'s first quarter financial results that were released on Thursday show that the Glazer family have not taken a dividend for the first time since 2016 [after putting the club up for sale. The board of directors decision to not approve dividends comes after Joel Glazer had been questioned on the issue during a United fan advisory board meeting in October.
