Morocco's Amrabat says he is at club of his dreams after joining Man Utd

Morocco midfielder Sofyan Amrabat described Manchester United as the "club of my dreams" after completing a season-long loan move to the English team in the final hours of the last day of the transfer window. Amrabat moved on Friday from Italian club Fiorentina, which reportedly received a loan fee of 10 million euros (USD 10.8 million). United has the option to make the signing permanent for 20 million euros (USD 21.5 million). The 27-year-old Amrabat didn't feature in any of Fiorentina's four matches this season after demanding a transfer. He rose to global prominence thanks to a string of impressive performances at the World Cup in Qatar last year when as a shield in front of the defense he helped Morocco become the first team from Africa or the Arab world to reach the semifinals. Amrabat also played a key role as Fiorentina reached the finals of the Coppa Italia and Europa Conference League last season. "I've had to be patient for this moment," Amrabat said, "but I'm someone

Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana named in Cameroon squad

Despite being sent home from last year's FIFA World Cup, Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana has come out of international retirement to be in the Cameroon squad named Tuesday by coach Rigobert Song. Onana was selected in a 24-player squad for an African Cup qualifying game against Burundi on September 12. Cameroon needs only to draw the home game to advance to the tournament, which starts on January 13 in Ivory Coast. Onana said he was ending his international career last December at the age of 26. He was dropped after starting Cameroon's first game at the World Cup in Qatar a 0-1 loss to Switzerland in a disagreement over team tactics with Song, who said players needed to show discipline and respect. Cameroon then drew 3-3 with Serbia and beat Brazil 1-0, but did not advance to the pre-quarters. Onana, however, said last year: Cameroon remains eternal and so does my love for the national team.

Premier League: Varane's late goal help Man United beat dominant Wolves 1-0

Manchester United needed a rare goal from defender Raphael Varane and a slew of late saves from Andre Onana to eke out a 1-0 win over Wolverhampton after being outplayed for long periods of their Premier League opener. The former France center back headed home from point-blank range in the 76th minute after Aaron Wan Bissaka ran onto a lofted pass from Bruno Fernandes and lobbed a cross into the six-yard box on Monday. It was one of the few slick moves produced by United, which gave competitive debuts to Onana and midfielder Mason Mount and failed to look cohesive against a visiting team that dominated midfield and was a constant danger on the break. Wolves struck the post through Matheus Cunha early in the second half, while substitute Fabio Silva drew two saves from the feet of Onana in the closing stages as United hung on. Wolves had 23 shots the most by a visiting team at Old Trafford in the Premier League since 2005 but lacked a cutting edge just like last season, when it was

United is set to give competitive debuts to two of its offseason signings midfielder Mason Mount and goalkeeper Andre Onana as the team looks to make a strong start to Erik ten Hag's second year in charge. Wolves will be under a new manager in Gary O'Neil, who has only been in charge a few weeks. SPAIN After a strong finish last season, Atletico Madrid begins its Spanish league campaign by hosting promoted Granada. Diego Simeone's Atletico kept the core of its squad in attack and midfield, and boosted its defense with Cesar Azpilicueta and Caglar Soyuncu.

Alaves, also back to the top flight in its first attempt following relegation, ..

EPL 2023-24: Can new look Man United under Ten Hag challenge Man City?

The stakes are higher for Erik ten Hag in his second season at Manchester United. A year into one of the most daunting jobs in world soccer, the Dutch coach has spent big and made some even bigger calls. As a result, he is now expected to bring the good times back to United. While Ten Hag's first season was a success on many levels, there were also blunt reminders of the work needed to be done to turn his team into a genuine Premier League title contender. He delivered his first trophy by winning the League Cup and also secured a return to the UEFA Champions League. There were notable wins against Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal and Barcelona, as well as a feel-good factor among supporters after a decade of decline since the retirement of United great Alex Ferguson. Under Ten Hag's guidance, Marcus Rashford scored a career-best 30 goals. Those were the highs. At the other end of the scale, there were humbling losses. United was routed 4-0 by Brentford, 6-3 by City and 7-0 b

Manchester United renews Adidas partnership by 10 yrs in deal of over $1 bn

Manchester United announced a 10-year extension to its partnership with Adidas that the English club said Monday will be worth more than $1 billion. United's deal with the German sportswear brand as its official uniform supplier runs to 2035 and "has a minimum cash guarantee of 900 million pounds (USD 1.15 billion), subject to certain adjustments," the team said, making it the most lucrative in Premier League history. "It is very natural for us to continue our cooperation," Adidas CEO Bjorn Gulden said. "We will combine tradition and innovation to please both the players and the fans." "We look forward to continuing our partnership with one of the most iconic clubs in football."

Man United sign goalkeeper Andre Onana from Inter Milan for $57 million

Manchester United completed the signing of goalkeeper Andre Onana from Inter Milan for 51 million euros (USD 57 million) on Thursday, reuniting Erik ten Hag with a player with whom he won three Dutch titles at Ajax. Onana has joined on a five-year contract.

Bruno Fernandes replaces Harry Maguire as Manchester United's new captain

Portugal midfielder Bruno Fernandes is the new captain of Manchester United. The Premier League club announced the appointment on Thursday. Fernandes has scored 64 goals with 54 assists in 185 games since joining United in 2020 from Sporting Lisbon. Harry Maguire tweeted Sunday that he was no longer captain of United following talks with manager Erik ten Hag. The central defender made just eight league starts last season, leading to ongoing speculation over his future at Old Trafford. In Maguire's absence from the side last season, the 28-year-old Fernandes was most frequently appointed captain and had been widely expected to be given the permanent role. He featured in all but one of the team's league fixtures as United finished third to return to the Champions League for the first time since 2021. The squad arrived in the United States on Thursday for a 12-day tour, though Ten Hag will be without midfielder Fred who has remained in England because of personal reasons.

De Gea's Man Utd exit paves the way for Ten Hag's tactical transformation

Replacing David de Gea won't be easy. No Premier League goalkeeper kept more clean sheets last season than De Gea, who announced his departure on Saturday, and in 12 years at Manchester United he was named the club's player of the year on four occasions. He leaves United as a legend, having been part of its last league title-winning team and lifting four major trophies with the club. But his exit also paves the way for a transition that many fans feel is long overdue. At his best, De Gea was a match-winning shot-stopper with the agility and speed of reaction to pull off astounding saves. In recent years, however, he has looked like a player out of his time as soccer has demanded more from keepers, with Manchester City and Liverpool two standout examples of how the position has been transformed. England's two most dominant teams of the past five years have exploited the ball-playing qualities of their keepers. Ederson, at City, and Alisson, at Liverpool, look as comfortable with t
