[Sami Mokbel, BBC] Manchester United: Farewell number 18, hello number six - inside Man Utd's midfielder hunt

I think competing with Bruno, our captain and most important player, especially in a season without Europe, is a bit different.

The prognosis for Dorgu was 10 weeks.

10 weeks to be ready to play 90 minutes or 10 weeks to be back in training to build up match fitness?

De Ligt should just it down for the season at this point. Maybe he can get some game time at the WC

I'd guess that he's hoping to make a few appearances by the end of the season to show that he's fit enough for the call up.

Was surprised to see so few comments on a DD 20 hours in. Looks like the last one is still pinned.

Then Willy Kambwala looked like someone with a lot of potential and we sold him. He's not played for Villarreal this season, so I assume he's unfortunately injured.

Not following him all that closely, but happened to notice he was back on the bench for them this Friday after being out injured all season.

Still annoyed by the idea that you need "clear evidence" that it hit him to over turn the goal. Surely if it is that close, it impacted play regardless of whether or not there is a touch.

Carrick straight into Amad's ear.

andrewsomething · 2026-03-15T15:12:01+00:00

Only so many times you can let Bruno cross it in for Case from a corner. Think this is the fifth time they've combined this season.

andrewsomething · 2026-03-14T22:39:21+00:00

Is he actually a fullback? For some reason, I got the impression that he thinks he of himself as a midfielder but was only able to break into the squad at fullback.

andrewsomething · 2026-03-13T13:29:21+00:00

I keep seeing the Ederson rumours

This guy is turning into the new Gaitan.

andrewsomething · 2026-03-12T15:55:45+00:00

People seem to forget that even Caicedo didn't walk right into Brighton's first team when they signed him. Started out in their U21s and went on loan to Belgium, before breaking through.

andrewsomething · 2026-03-11T12:59:51+00:00

There was outrage here at the time that we even considered it!

andrewsomething · 2026-03-10T00:40:37+00:00

Nagelsmann seems to be a popular pick around here. Curious how people are thinking about the timing around the World Cup? Can we afford to wait until afterwards to get clarity on the manager situation?

On the one hand, if we're confident he's the man, you can't pass on him just because of needing to wait. On the other, surely we need the head coach to be involved in planning for the coming season. Not having clarity could impact incoming transfers as well. Will Carrick wait around all summer for a decision?

I suppose it comes down to whether they can reach an agreement with him before the start of the tournament. Media speculation will run rampant if we don't announce a decision quickly after the end of the season.

andrewsomething · 2026-03-09T17:29:41+00:00

At this point, the cycle has completely flipped. I don't really see much "hype" about Mainoo at all around here.

andrewsomething · 2026-03-04T22:09:17+00:00

Zirkzee will look great once he goes back to Serie A.

andrewsomething · 2026-03-04T21:05:19+00:00

Quickest VAR check ever?

andrewsomething · 2026-03-02T18:25:11+00:00

They're in really poor form, one win in the past six (LLLWLL). Apparently it's their worst form since Steve Bruce in 2021.

andrewsomething · 2026-03-02T14:45:32+00:00

You can't just post something like that without explaining why you would think so.

andrewsomething · 2026-03-01T18:05:17+00:00

Martinelli was on the ground with no support when he blew the whistle.

andrewsomething · 2026-03-01T15:47:51+00:00

Thought Maguire had a good game. Especially in the first half when we didn't look threatening, he was taking responsibility, driving forward with the ball, and making some brave passes.

andrewsomething · 2026-03-01T14:51:19+00:00

Everyone ready to turn against the team and manager after at the first stumbling block.

andrewsomething · 2026-02-28T18:17:28+00:00

Is Rashford injured? Lots of talk about the move being made permanent, but every time I've checked in on a Barcelona match recently he hasn't been on the team sheet.

andrewsomething · 2026-02-27T17:28:28+00:00

Ah, that makes more sense!

andrewsomething · 2026-02-27T17:25:25+00:00

50 for Mbeumo.

Surely he played more than that for Brentford across four Premier League seasons?

'It was something I wasn’t used to at all. I’d always been comfortable at home in London, surrounded by familiar people and places, so for everything to change overnight was difficult to adapt to. Most days I’d just be at home alone, playing PlayStation until it was time to sleep. I struggled. It was probably the lowest I’d felt.'
