Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United team hasn’t lost a game yet this year, so they’re having a great 2024.
They are now only six points behind Tottenham Hotspur in the race to play in the Champions League next season. On Sunday, they beаt Aston Villa 2-1, with goals from Rasmus Hojlund and Scott McTominay giving them an important win.
It has been cleared by the Premier League that Sir Jim Ratcliffe wants to buy a 25% stake in the club. The FA still needs to sign off on the deal. As part of the deal, the CEO of Ineos will be in charge of the club’s sports activities. The FA could give their approval in the next few days.
The next game for United is next weekend, when they host Luton Town at Kenilworth Road. With that in mind, here is a summary of the latest news from Old Trafford.
Lindelof swap deal was suggested
Reports from Italy sаy that United will try to sign Benjamin Pavard again next summer and could use Victor Lindelof as a bargaining chip.
Last summer, Pavard was linked with a move to Old Trafford, but he ended up going to Inter Milan instead. But it is said that United is still interested in getting the flexible back and would be willing to offer Lindelof to Inter to make the deal more appealing.
United used an option to keep Lindelof on the team until 2025, but that was only to keep his value high in case they wаnted to sell him. The story also says that he will probably be sold in the summer, whether the Pavard deal goes through or not. Several Saudi Pro League sides want to buy him.
Rashford was said to be “cheating”
Richard Keys says that Marcus Rashford dove to get United the free kιck that led to their first goal against Villa on Sunday.
“Of course Casemiro wasn’t onside when the free kιck led to the corner, which led to the goal! People who watched BeinSPORTS on Sunday knew that because Andy and I brought it up. The helper should have seen it. Keys wrote on his blog that Casemiro was busy when he went for the ball.
VAR couldn’t get involved, though, because the incident didn’t lead to the goal right away. Do not forget that it was never a free kιck. The refs need to be just as tough with Rashford now that they’ve worked Fernandes out. He should have been arrested for diving instead of getting a prize for lying.
Man Utd sаy sorry to club great
The club was sorry that Norman Whiteside, a legendary player for the club, had to leave his regular seat at Old Trafford because of a United season ticket.
For more than 25 years, Whiteside has had a golden season ticket to the club. He played for them for 11 years. However, the club moved him for the West Ham game, which made Whiteside’s wife angry on social media.
Another person who worked for the company replied, “We have the utmost respect for Norman as a legend of the club and understand the disappointment he and other season ticket holders have felt due to seat relocations.” We promise to work with all season ticket holders, including Norman, who will be affected by the moves to find them the best seats available elsewhere in the stadium.
