The longer the silence continues since Manchester United’s two high-profile meetings at the start of the week, the more likely it is that Erik ten Hag will be in charge of next Saturday’s clash against Brentford. Gary Neville has offered some fresh insight into the first of the two at Old Trafford, which he attended as part of the stadium’s redevelopment Task Force.
INEOS figures, including Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Sir Dave Brailsford, co-chairman Joel Glazer and United’s football leadership team were among those in attendance, with Ten Hag’s future reportedly on the agenda.
However, Neville has claimed that such discussions didn’t take place during the first round of talks in Manchester. He wasn’t involved in the second meeting in London a day later.

Man Utd could rue bargain sale
Manchester United may come to regret selling Alvaro Fernandez for just £5million this summer.
Benfica forked out the modest fee after exercising an option-to-buy clause in the loan deal which saw Fernandez spend the second half of last season in Portugal.
And after an impressive start to the new campaign, Portuguese newspaper O Jogo claim that Real Madrid and Barcelona are keeping tabs on the 21-year-old.
In the move that took Fernandez to Benfica, United agreed an option to buy him back for a fixed fee.

Tuchel in talks with England
Thomas Tuchel is in negotiations to become England’s next permanent manager, according to Bild.
Manchester United are also said to be interested in the German, though they will miss out if he is appointed by the FA to replace interim boss Lee Carsley, whose experimental side suffered a shock 2-1 defeat at home to Greece on Thursday night.
Although contact has reportedly been made with Tuchel, The Telegraph claim that the FA are yet to ‘formally interview’ any of their top candidates and they are intent on keeping the process confidential while Carsley is at the helm.

McCarthy: Rashford still texts me
Former Manchester United coach Benni McCarthy claims that he and Marcus Rashford are still on texting terms.
McCarthy spent two seasons under Erik ten Hag coaching United’s attackers.
And Rashford had the best campaign of his career in 2022/23, hitting 30 goals in all competitions.
Speaking to SuperSportTV, McCarthy said: “Any kind of advice, he would come to me – and I mean anything. We still message each other.”

Man Utd told to ‘arrest the directors’
Manchester United’s transfer chiefs have been slammed for selling Scott McTominay to Napoli this summer.
The midfielder has hit the ground running in Italy after being flogged by Dan Ashworth and co.
Former Premier League forward Paolo Di Canio feels the decision was unforgivable from the Red Devils’ point of view.
“I would go to Manchester United to arrest all the managers,” he told Il Mattino. “How do you give McTominay away?”

Kobbie Mainoo extension nears
Kobbie Mainoo is close to agreeing a contract extension with Manchester United, according to the MEN.
The 19-year-old’s current deal runs until the summer of 2027 but United are keen to reward his superb performances with a hefty wage increase.
Talks have been underway between the club and Mainoo’s camp since March this year, and an agreement is now within striking distance.

Onana clinches Prem award
Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana has been awarded Save of the Month for September.
In a 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park, the Cameroon international dived low to his left to deny Eddie Nketiah and then acrobatically sprung up to save Ismaila Sarr’s rebound in spectacular fashion.
The award is another feather in the cap of Onana, who has shown significant improvement since his rocky first season at United.

Bruno Fernandes acknowledges below-par season
Bruno Fernandes has admitted he hasn’t met his own high standards for Manchester United so far this season.
The 30-year-old captain hasn’t yet scored in his first 11 appearances and received the first red card of his United career in the 3-3 draw at Porto.
But he is determined to put things right once he returns to Manchester next week…
“As for the club, I want to improve as soon as I get there and make sure the goals start coming again,” Fernandes told Portuguese media on international duty.
“I have to take responsibility for that, too, because I’m a midfielder who scores a lot of goals.
“Over the years, I’ve always been at a very high level in terms of goals, and I have to live up to that, with those expectations.
“I also have my own standards, I don’t hold back on that. I haven’t scored for the club yet [this season] and I hope that as soon as I get there I can score and help the club get back to winning ways and to a good level.”

Christian Eriksen hints at exit plan
Christian Eriksen has suggested he’s set to leave Manchester United as a free agent at the end of the season.
The 32-year-old midfielder’s contract expires next summer, and he has admitted he isn’t talking with the club about an extension.
“No, we are not there at the moment [talks about staying put],” Eriksen explained.
He added: “I have one year left, and then we can have another conversation next year when you stand in a different place.”

Chido Obi-Martin won’t be rushed
Manchester United won’t rush Chido Obi-Martin into action after completing his switch from Arsenal at the end of September.
The 16-year-old striker’s arrival was met with mass excitement after his prolific exploits in the Gunners’ youth ranks.
But it might be a while yet before he features for United, having waited for a few months for the Premier League to ratify his transfer.
Obi-Martin is reportedly now undergoing his own pre-season schedule before taking to the pitch for United’s U18s and U21s.
It’s claimed that the club are treating fellow summer arrival Sekou Kone the same.

Man Utd dressing room frustrated
Erik ten Hag is reportedly frustrating the Manchester United dressing room with his constant rotation of players.
That’s according to former chief scout Mick Brown, who worked at Old Trafford under Sir Alex Ferguson for over a decade.
He told Football Insider: “I don’t understand the issue with Marcus Rashford.
“In the week [against Porto], he played like the Rashford we know, running at defenders, causing all sorts of trouble and scoring a goal.
“Then he gets taken off at half-time, and you assume he’s picked up an injury, but when Ten Hag was asked about it, he said it was rotation.
“It’s bizarre. Very, very difficult to fathom the thinking behind that. It’s not the first time it’s happened either.
“I’ve heard there are a few frustrations in the dressing room because of these decisions and the way he’s treating the players.
“The main issue with Ten Hag, for me, is trying to understand these decisions he makes. All that sort of thing [taking Rashford off at half-time] does is it just ramps up the pressure.”

Wayne Rooney questions Erik ten Hag
Wayne Rooney has branded Erik ten Hag’s decision to continue rotating his Manchester United centre-backs as “crazy.”
The Old Trafford legend also pinpointed the widely criticised withdrawal of Marcus Rashford as a bemusing call.
“The changes he’s making, you never see teams, or top teams, changing the centre-backs during the game, or the back four. I think that happens on a regular basis,” Rooney told The Overlap.
“And the Rashford one was, it’s the best I’ve seen Rashford play for a long time, against Porto, and to take him off and say, ‘we’ve got another game at the weekend’, at half-time, I think it’s absolutely crazy.
“We’ve all played Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday, Sunday, whatever it is. So, if you can’t do it, then I don’t know.
“You’re now on the international break, I guarantee you on this international break, you’ll see videos of Rashford training with a coach away from the training grounds. So you can’t do two games in a week?”

Man Utd may be hit with nine absences
Manchester United could be without nine first-team players when Brentford visit Old Trafford in the Premier League next Saturday.
Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, Leny Yoro and Harry Maguire will all be absent as they continue their road to recovery.
Noussair Mazraoui is also a serious doubt after undergoing a minor procedure on Thursday, having experienced heart palpitations.
There are question marks over Mason Mount, too, after his head injury against Tottenham ruled him out of United’s following two matches.
Kobbie Mainoo, Amad and Alejandro Garnacho could also miss out, having withdrawn from international duty.

Jose Mourinho eyes reunion
Jose Mourinho is reportedly still eyeing a reunion with Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof at Fenerbahce.
According to Turkish outlet Sabah, Mourinho is eyeing Lindelof ahead of his contract expiry at the end of the season.
The 30-year-old is in the depths of Erik ten Hag’s pecking order and is expected to leave as a free agent.
Mourinho brought Lindelof to Old Trafford in 2017 and is said to be working on a deal with Fenerbahce sporting director Mario Branco.

Gary Neville didn’t discuss Erik ten Hag
Gary Neville has revealed that he wasn’t involved in talks about Erik ten Hag’s future at Manchester United during Monday’s meeting at Old Trafford.
The United icon was in attendance alongside Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Joel Glazer, among other high-ranking club figures.
But Neville has stressed that he was simply there through his role in the Old Trafford Redevelopment Task Force. Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham was also present.
“I’m not on the inside of it, no I’m not. I went on Monday to meet them about the regeneration side,” Neville told The Overlap.
“Not at all [did I talk about] footballing matters. Not at all. I went in with a couple of members of the regeneration task force and basically spoke about that.”
