Uncertainty Surrounding Benni McCarthy’s Future
Benni McCarthy, a crucial member of Manchester United’s coaching team, faces uncertainty as his contract comes to an end. Despite his significant role in enhancing the team’s attack, especially helping Marcus Rashford score 30 goals last season, the club has not yet offered him a new contract. With Manchester United keeping quiet on this issue, speculation increases. This situation is further complicated by the challenges faced by manager Erik ten Hag in his second season and the arrival of new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
Goalkeeper Tactics in the Spotlight
During a recent Premier League match, Manchester United’s goalkeeper André Onana was seen applying Vaseline to his gloves in a 2-2 draw with Liverpool at Old Trafford. This method is often used by goalkeepers to improve grip in wet conditions. The game was a tight contest, with both teams ending evenly matched.
INEOS Group Shakes Up Manchester United’s Management
The INEOS group, under Sir Jim Ratcliffe, has taken a significant stake in Manchester United, bringing changes. After buying a 27.7% share from the Glazer family, the club witnessed the exit of football director John Murtough. Omar Berrada has been appointed as the new CEO. Talks are ongoing with Dan Ashworth and Jason Wilcox for senior positions. Moreover, financial consultants Interpath have been hired to advise on cost-saving strategies at Old Trafford.
Resilience Amidst Injuries and Emerging Talents

Manchester United has been a formidable force in the Premier League title race, consistently challenging Liverpool’s dominance.

United’s Bruno Fernandes and young star Kobbie Mainoo scored, with Mainoo becoming the first 18-year-old to score a league goal against Liverpool since Cesc Fabregas.
