Cristiano Ronaldo’s latest injury and Man Utd fixture news

Manchester United has three top-class strikers but faces a shortage of strikers.

Anthony is still dealing with an Achilles injury, his second season setback, while Marcus Rashford is also out with a problem. Cristiano Ronaldo is not getting any younger at 37 and may ask to leave again in January.

He started three games this season, two of them when Martial and Rashford were sidelined. Erik ten Hag could fall into the transfer market again, as several names have already been linked with a possible switch.

One of those is Brentford forward Ivan Toney, who earned his first England call-up this week. Meanwhile, United must consider the other end of the pitch.

David de Gea has been at the club for 11 years, but some fans are unsure whether the 31-year-old should be offered an extension beyond next summer.

Three more Reds in action

There are two more Nations League games tonight for you to watch.

Christian Eriksen and Raphael Varane will face each other when Denmark takes on France in Group A1.

Varane was asked about Eriksen in preparation for the match, and you can read what he had to say about the Dane here. Another game to watch is Tyrell Malacia for the Netherlands, who will take on Belgium in Group A4. Louis van Gaal wants to shout Marasia’s name again tonight, as he did in training yesterday.

Both games start at 7.45 pm (GMT).

Nemanja Matic hits back at Roy Keane and comes to the defense of Harry Maguire

Matic responded to Keane’s criticism after the Serbian midfielder said he still had a place in his heart for both United and Chelsea. The 34-year-old also stood by Maguire after the England defender was recently hit with a flurry of abuse on social media. Dalot reacts after impressive Portuguese performance The Portuguese defender was simply sensational for the national team last night. Dalot scored twice as Portugal beat the Czech Republic 4-0 in the UEFA Nations League, with fellow Red Bruno Fernandes also on the scoresheet. It was clear how much the 23-year-old enjoyed his performance, and now the United defender has spoken out about the win.

Malacia reveals when he decided to join the United

United fended off serious interest from Lyon before signing the 23-year-old in the summer. It’s clear why Malacia has been in such high demand, given his impressive performances this season. The Dutch full-back has admitted he made up his mind to move to Old Trafford after learning a vital piece of information.

City “beat” United in the race in Bellingham

 

Manchester City has ‘beaten’ United in the race to sign Borussia Dortmund sensation Jude Bellingham, according to The Sun. The England international has developed strongly since joining Dortmund two years ago and has been heavily linked with the move to the Premier League. United is among those most closely linked with his signature, but City is said to be currently leading the battle.

Ronaldo still gives United something that no one else can

It was an unusual start to the season for Cristiano Ronaldo. The United striker has only started one of the Reds’ opening six Premier League games this season, meaning he is in an unprecedented situation, such is his status in the match. However, he remains a player who can give United something special, as Rich Fay explains.

Varane welcomes Eriksen’s influence

United duo Raphael Varane and Christian Eriksen will go head-to-head on the international stage when France and Denmark meet in the UEFA Nations League tonight. Both players have been excellent for United this season, each becoming a key figure in Erik ten Hag’s plans. And ahead of tonight’s game, Varane detailed what Eriksen brought to the table.  The French said:

“He’s managed to fit into the squad quickly, and he has a lot of qualities. We’re delighted to see him at this level after what he’s been through. He brings experience. Playing against Christian is a player I value a lot.”

Ten Hag has already completed a key United task this season After

After the 4-0 defeat by Brentford in the second game of the season, the fear that Erik ten Hag’s move to United will fail has increased. The players were whistled at full time, and the fans had every right to have their say. The hope of a new era heralding happier times seemed dead after only two games. Fast-forward a few weeks, and all is rosy in United’s garden. There are relationships on the pitch, and there is a unity between the players and the fans that have been sorely lacking in recent years.

Ronaldo relieves injury fears

Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo eased fears of any lasting damage after sustaining a facial injury in Portugal’s 4-0 win over the Czech Republic last night. The 37-year-old was bleeding from his nose when he collided with Czech goalkeeper Thomas Vaklik with less than an hour left in the quarter. Fortunately, he looked excellent.

United are ‘fighting’ City for Baston’s transfer

The two sides now meet weekly, and there are reports that United could battle City in the transfer market next year. Both Manchester clubs are preparing to test Inter’s determination to try and sign Alessandro Bastoni. The 23-year-old is set for a transfer next year, and there appears to be interest in the Premier League alongside Tottenham. Signing a new center-back doesn’t seem likely unless Harry Maguire or Victor Lindelof leave next year.

Jude Bellingham’s transfer preferences ‘revealed’

Man Utd is among the teams interested in signing Jude Bellingham next year, but that doesn’t mean he’s eager to join them. “Marca” reported that Dortmund midfielder Bellingham is keen to join Real Madrid, while Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United, and Manchester City are all interested in him. It has been suggested that the German side wants to extend his contract until 2025 and will only consider a sale if there is an offer of 150 million euros.

Tony would be interested in the Man Utd move

Manchester United would consider a move to Old Trafford if they sign Brentford striker Ivan Toney. The striker made his first England call-up this week after scoring five goals and three assists in eight games this season.

De Gea’s future ‘in balance’

According to The Telegraph, David De Gea’s future is unclear, which claims club officials have yet to decide whether to activate De Gea’s contract extension. His current deal ends next summer, but the clause will keep the Old Trafford goalkeeper until 2024. It is understood that Everton and England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford is considered potential replacements.
