The Arsenal goalkeeper’s tally of 18 clean sheets cannot be matched!

I scored more than 10 league goals this season. Next season, my target is simple: nothing less than 20.”

🚨🎙️ Patrice Evra on Manchester United moving closer to keeping Michael Carrick beyond this season:

🗣️ “I’m happy for Michael and I hope he succeeds, but success at Manchester United won’t depend on him alone. He can only succeed if the board gives him quality players.

Watching Manchester City play so comfortably against Crystal Palace with their second team shows how ridiculous their squad depth is.

That 0-0 draw against Sunderland was painful to watch, especially seeing how much United struggled to create anything meaningful without some key players.

When City rotate, they still look like title contenders. When United rotate even two important players, the drop-off is massive.

So this should be a wake-up call. Carrick may have done wonders with the starting XI, but if United truly want to compete for big trophies, the board now has to give him a squad strong enough to survive injuries, rotation, and a long season.

Because top teams don’t just build a strong XI... they build a strong squad.”

Mateus Fernandes is attracting serious interest from and is high on the midfielder shortlist. Some initial contact took place with his representatives too, just to gauge early interest, and he is very open to a potential move. will want a 'significantly' larger fee than what they paid for him, even if they go down.

Multiple clubs have Fernandes on their radar including PSG and Arsenal. However, I've heard that PSG are currently prioritising their attack first in the summer. It'll become more clear in the next weeks what United's steps are as we near the summer, with concrete steps starting to take place for their targets.

Should united get him?

Happy birthday to PSG captain, 32 years old today 🎂🥳

🚨Éderson is being offered around a number of clubs, including Atlético Madrid. He has no experience of playing in the Premier League and has tended to be overlooked by Brazil for a series of other central midfielders, although there has been fierce competition in his position.

There had been no official contact from United with Atalanta as of early this week, but he is a player of interest.

🎙️ Bruno Fernandes when asked whether Mateus Fernandes could join Manchester United:

🗣️ Reporter:
“Mateus is attracting serious interest right now. Could you see him ending up at United?”

🗣️ Bruno Fernandes:
“I remember when he joined West Ham, he called me sounding happier than when people win trophies. (laughs)

He said:
‘Bruno… my dream has almost come true. We basically play for the same club now. You play for Manchester United. I play for West Ham United. We both have United in our names.’ (laughs)

Then he became serious and told me:
‘But honestly Bruno, my real dream is Manchester United. Biggest club in the world.’

I nearly started laughing again because in his mind, West Ham was like the tutorial before the real game. But honestly, I’m proud of him. He’s worked hard for this recognition and he deserves it. And hopefully one day… we won’t just have United in our club names. We’ll share the same dressing room too.”
