Manchester United

Manchester United can confirm that Tahith Chong will leave the club after a permanent transfer was agreed with Birmingham City, subject to registration.

The 22-year-old now heads back to St. We’d like to take this opportunity to thank Tahith for everything he’s achieved at United and wish him the best of luck in his future career. Chong gained valuable first-team experience on loan at Werder Bremen and then Club Brugge during 2020/21.

Jadon Sancho's first-half goal gave Manchester United a 1-0 win that left Leicester bottom of the Premier League and booed off at the end.

Barnes did draw gasps after a curling effort out of nothing from 20 yards flashed over David de Gea’s upright but they came closest to equalising in the second half when James Maddison forced De Gea into a fine save from a free-kick. Leicester failed to make the ball stick and United feasted on their opponents’ dishevelment. “I know where the statement came from and I know it wasn’t Wesley Fofana,” he said. The galling thing for Rodgers was that it stemmed from Danny Ward booming a clearance upfield. More often than not programme notes amount to nothing more than empty platitudes but the Leicester chairman, Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha, used his to address some of the questions that have surrounded the club throughout a trying and destabilising summer in which Wout Faes, a £15m arrival from Reims, represented their only outfield signing. The performance was largely as gutsy as it was pretty but Jadon Sancho’s superbly taken first-half strike was enough to secure United successive away wins for the first time since last September.

Jadon Sancho lifted Man United past Leicester City and the Red Devils look more confident than they have in a while. But attacking concerns persist.

Once we have Cristiano Ronaldo and Casemiro getting fitter it will get better still -- we need not only a team we need a squad." Manager United manager Erik Ten Hag on the win: "It is another step forward so I am happy with that. Replacing him will be impossible, but Leicester need to find a younger striker with the ability to score as regularly as Vardy used to.

Manchester United have completed the signing of Brazil winger Antony from Ajax Amsterdam, the Premier League club said in a statement on Thursday.

"My time at Ajax was fantastic ... "Playing under Erik ten Hag was perfect for me and my development," Antony added. "His style of football and coaching brings out the best in me..."

Manchester United were not given much to worry about by struggling Leicester City as they won 1-0 thanks to Jadon Sancho's goal.

Wolves v Southampton (15:00) Tottenham v Fulham (15:00) Here is the full schedule... Last weekend also marked the 11-year anniversary of our historic 8-2 victory in the fixture. United triumphed 3-2 in a memorable game against Arsenal when this fixture was last played at Old Trafford, back in December 2021. Arsenal's tone-setting 2-0 win over Crystal Palace on the opening day was followed by 4-2 and 3-0 victories over Leicester and Bournemouth, respectively. Despite losing our opening game 2-1 to Brighton, followed by a heavy 4-0 defeat on the road to Brentford, the Reds bounced back against Merseyside rivals Liverpool. The Swede was part of our matchday squad in the Midlands and could be again on Sunday. Victor Lindelof returned to training before the Leicester game, but did not feature at the King Power Stadium.

Pre-match coverage will start at 15:25 BST on Sunday and will be followed by live radio commentary during the 90 minutes. Jadon Sancho scored the only goal in Thursday evening's clash with Leicester as we registered a second successive clean sheet on the road.

Erik ten Hag's plan for major surgery in such a short time at Manchester United is both ambitious and flawed with Antony's arrival signalling the audacious ...

(It’s also worth remembering that he lost a child five months ago, and has every excuse to be distracted.) And yet the arrival of Antony is perhaps the clearest signal yet that Ten Hag is intending to build a team without him: quick, mobile, unpredictable and with multiple threats from multiple angles. This in itself is a quietly revolutionary development: junking the club’s star signing from a year ago after a season in which he scored 18 league goals. The expectation is that Antony, a left-footer, will slot in on the right, a long-standing problem position for United. This was a process that even Alex Ferguson took years rather than months to implement, seeking out not just winning talents but winning characters, players who would fight for each other, players who could play to a plan. He dribbles at speed, cuts inside for the cross or shot, presses with energy and “grinta”: an Italian term that Ten Hag loves to use for players with grit, guts, the will to fight and win at all costs. It is a trick that Pep Guardiola has often sought to deploy, and it serves a dual purpose. Having tried and failed to leave the club, Ronaldo has found himself on the bench ever since the Brentford game. All the red flags are present and correct, given what we know about United, and particularly United in the transfer market, and particularly United in the transfer market in the final week of the window after a bad start to the season. The sense of urgency and panic. The mechanics of Antony’s transfer are emblematic of United’s many dysfunctions. It brings Manchester United’s spending this window to about £200m plus potential add‑ons, and together with the signings of Tyrell Malacia and Lisandro Martínez means United are responsible for about 48% of the Eredivisie’s entire summer transfer income. It’s the 13th most expensive transfer of all time, slotting in between Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid.
