Harry Maguire helps United salvage draw against Porto in Europa League

Manchester United narrowly avoided another embarrassing defeat as substitute Harry Maguire headed in an injury-time equalizer to salvage a 3-3 draw against Porto in the Europa League on Thursday after Erik ten Hag's team had given up an early 2-0 lead and seen Bruno Fernandes sent off for a second straight game. Fernandes was shown a second booking in the 81st minute for a high boot that caught defender Nehuen Perez as he tried to connect with a cross into the box. We started the game very good, we dominated, we scored two good goals but then we lost control, Ten Hag said. "The middle part was no good and then we finished very good. ... We got the equalizer so it is good for the spirit. Fernandes had been shown a straight read in a 3-0 loss to Tottenham in the Premier League on Sunday that upped the pressure on Ten Hag. And the Dutch manager seemed to be in more trouble when United gave up an early 2-0 lead to trail 3-2 when Pep produced a cross from the right for his fellow forward

Ratcliffe revamps Manchester United but Ten Hag's trouble continues

It feels like Groundhog Day for Manchester United and Erik ten Hag. Another season has hit crisis point after only a few games. Perhaps that's why the United manager was so dismissive of the renewed pressure on him after last week's humbling 3-0 loss to Tottenham. Nothing is easy, but this is nothing for me to panic about because I experienced it so often with my teams during seasons that you are facing those problems, he said this week. He is right. United's record of three losses after six English Premier League games is in keeping with his two previous campaigns at Old Trafford. In 2022, he lost his opening two and three of the first seven. In 2023 it was even worse, as United lost three of five at the start. Both of those seasons ended with a trophy, but the feel-good factor provided by the most recent silverware May's FA Cup triumph against Manchester City - has long evaporated in the face of the likelihood that United's 11-year wait for the league title is set to go on.

Manchester United players are 'mad' about Tottenham loss, says Ten Hag

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag said his players are mad about their humbling loss to Tottenham in the Premier League. A 3-0 defeat on Sunday at Old Trafford saw some United fans leave early and others boo at the final whistle, with the result leading to scrutiny over Ten Hag's position. United is 13th in the standings and has lost three times in eight games in all competitions this season. It plays Porto in the Europa League on Thursday and the Dutchman wants to harness his players' anger to turn their form round. As always when we are not winning, we are very disappointed and we are also mad, mad with ourselves and especially when you lose a game like Sunday, Ten Hag said Wednesday. "We are mad and from the madness we have to get motivation and go onto the next game. Mason Mount is not available for the game because of a head injury and a further knock, Ten Hag said. He added that he hoped Luke Shaw would return after the upcoming international break.

Erik ten Hag worried about risk of injuries in congested schedule ahead

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has warned of more injuries to top soccer players because of a growing number of games on their schedule. Manchester City midfielder Rodri limped out of Sunday's English Premier League clash with Arsenal because of a knee injury. Meanwhile, other top players Kevin De Bruyne and Martin Odegaard have been sidelined in the season's early weeks. Rodri's injury came days after he voiced concerns about an increasingly congested schedule and said players were close to taking strike action. Ten Hag, speaking ahead of United's Europa League match against FC Twente, said too much is being asked of players. There are too many games. It's clear. Too many competitions," he said on Tuesday. "For the top players, they are overloaded and this is not good for football. In the end of the day, it's maybe good for commercial, but there is a limit.

Man U signs Ugarte from PSG for $55 mn, total spending now $240 million

Manchester United signed Uruguay defensive midfielder Manuel Ugarte from Paris Saint-Germain for an an initial 50 million euros ($55.7 million) on Friday, with the transfer announced only in the final hour of the summer transfer window. Ugarte is United's fifth signing of the window after striker Joshua Zirkzee, center backs Leny Yoro and Matthijs de Ligt, and full back Noussair Mazraoui and takes the club's summer spending on new players to around $240 million. The 23-year-old Ugarte, who has signed a contract until 2029, has been a target of United throughout the summer and looks set to be the long-term replacement for Casemiro, who is 32.

Scott McTominay joins Napoli from Man United after 22 years with the club

After more than two decades at Manchester United having joined the youth program at age five midfielder Scott McTominay transferred to Napoli in a 30 million euros ($33 million) deadline deal on Friday. The Scotland international was one of United's most successful academy graduates, registering 253 appearances over seven years in the first team, with 29 goals. United coach Erik ten Hag expressed dismay over English Premier League rules that he said encourage the sale of homegrown players. I wouldn't prefer to lose him because he's Manchester United in everything, Ten Hag said. He was so important for our team, for Manchester United, but unfortunately it's the rules. We have to discuss the rules. When you have to sell and obviously homegrown and academy players bring more value, that's not the right thing to do. But I think for everyone, for all parts it's a good deal. He's happy with it. At Napoli, McTominay will play under Antonio Conte, who was instrumental in signing Romelu

Erik Ten Hag under scrutiny after Manchester United's loss against Brighton

Two games into the Premier League season, and the scrutiny is already back on Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag. Joao Pedro scored in the fifth minute of injury time to give Brighton a 2-1 home win over United on Saturday in a game that showed that the inconsistencies that plagued Ten Hag's team last season still haven't been eradicated. After United failed to clear a corner, Pedro headed home a cross from Simon Adingra to secure a second straight victory for Brighton at the start of its first season under 31-year-old coach Fabian Hurzeler. The two leading title rivals also made it two wins out of two with shows of strength. Erling Haaland scored his seventh Premier League hat trick in Manchester City's 4-1 win over Ipswich, while Arsenal earned a 2-0 win at Aston Villa a team it lost to twice last season before losing the title by two points to City. Like Ten Hag, Sean Dyche could also be feeling the early pressure after his Everton side slumped to another heavy defeat, los
