premier league live: Amorim hails Mount after thrashing Wolves

Manchester United's Mason Mount scores their side's third goal of the game during the Premier League match at Molineux Stadium, Wolverhampton. Picture date: Monday December 8, 2025. Ruben Amorim picked Mason Mount out for praise after Manchester United overcame a wobble to thrash winless Wolves 4-1 on a night of unrest at Molineux. United were on course to blow another opportunity against a Premier League struggler after Jean-Ricner Bellegarde cancelled out Bruno Fernandes' opener just before the break. But United would not drop points like they did in last Thursday's 1-1 home draw with West Ham as they instead steamed ahead in the second half to win 4-1 as Bryan Mbeumo, Mount and Fernandes struck. "I think, once again, after we scored a goal we were a little bit sloppy on the ...

Manchester United welcome Everton to Old Trafford for an intriguing Premier League encounter on Monday night. Ruben Amorim has eased the pressure on him by overseeing a run of three wins and two draws from their last five games, most recently drawing 2-2 against Tottenham Hotspur in North London. The Red Devils sit seventh in the top flight table after their recent run, having endured a dismal start to the campaign. New signing Bryan Mbeumo has been in fine form for Amorim’s side of late, and the Portuguese will hope to see the forward continue that into the coming weeks. Off the pitch, however, it has emerged that Manchester United are one of the clubs in the race to sign a Swedish youngster. According to Sky Sports Germany’s Florian Plettenberg, Man United are interested in AIK teenager...

man united football news: Amorim plans team bonding trips

Ruben Amorim Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim is reportedly exploring the option of taking his players on overseas bonding trips during the season amid gaps in their schedule. The Red Devils were knocked out of the Carabao Cup by League Two Grimsby last week having also failed to qualify for Europe last season. United's reduced fixture schedule means they face just one midweek game before Christmas – a home match against West Ham on December 3. The club is therefore looking at ways to use the extra preparation time effectively, as reported by The Sun. United's schedule leaves as many as eight days between league games, giving Amorim the chance to plan short overseas camps. Amorim believes short training camps abroad, in destinations such as Portugal's Algarve or the Middle Ea...

news on manchester united

Amorim When a team changes manager and the dust settles following the initial hysteria, often one of the first questions to be asked is which players will benefit most from the new man's arrival. If a manager can start to get a tune out of an expensive recruit who has so far failed to prove their worth, they've instant credit in the bank from fans and those within the club's hierarchy. But there's a lot more to it than 'they played well under them before and so this time should be no different'. Take Erik ten Hag's arrival at United as an example. The Dutchman was keen to surround himself with home comforts, regularly targeting players either from, or who had spent time in, the Eredivisie. Yet, having inherited a player he had coached previously at Ajax in Donny van de Beek, he failed t...

Ruben Amorim Manchester United renew interest in Agoume Manchester United are in the market for a midfielder this summer, and could turn to La Liga to fill that need. The Red Devils have been closely linked with Brighton and Hove Albion man Carlos Baleba, but they could be priced out of a move. It seems Ruben Amorim is keen to have someone through the door that can glue things together in the midfield though, and Sevilla man Lucien Agoume has emerged as a surprise candidate for a move. Agoume, who arrived from Inter 18 months ago, initially on loan, started Matias Almeyda’s first game on Sunday and scored a brilliant goal in their 3-2 defeat to Athletic Club. It was reported by Caught Offside that United had an interest in Agoume back in January, but the trail went rather q...

Amorim backs Fernandes’ criticism of ‘lazy’ United

Ruben Amorim Manchester United coach Ruben Amorim has backed Bruno Fernandes' criticism of the performance in their 2-2 draw with Everton by saying he's happy for his players to call it out if they see a drop in standards. Fernandes branded parts of the display at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Sunday as "lazy." And asked afterwards whether he supported his captain's claim, Amorim insisted he doesn't have a problem with players pulling each other up as he continues his drive to improve the culture at Old Trafford. "I think I'm happy for the players to have that feeling," said Amorim. "It's saying that they understand the situation. So, it's a good feeling. I think the momentum of the tour was perfect."We had the weeks to work with a good environment, good feeling, and then we go back...

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim walks past the trophy following defeat in the UEFA Europa League final at the Estadio de San Mames in Bilbao, Spain. Picture date: Wednesday May 21, 2025. Ruben Amorim says he will leave without a pay-off if Manchester United's board and fans want him to after the painful Europa League final loss to Tottenham. The Red Devils wasted their get-out-of-jail-free card at the end of a wretched domestic campaign as the side 16th in the Premier League lost 1-0 to 17th-placed Spurs at San Mames on Wednesday night. "What I can say is that I think it was clear we were the better team, but then we managed not to score again, and then it's really hard to win football matches," Amorim said.

Amorim insists he’s ‘really confident’ in Onana despite two howlers

DECINES-CHARPIEU, FRANCE - APRIL 10: André Onana of Manchester United fails to hold on to ball leading to a goal for Lyon in final minute of game by Rayan Cherki of Lyon during the UEFA Europa League 2024/25 Quarter Final First Leg match between Olympique Lyonnais and Manchester United at OL Stadium on April 10, 2025 in Decines-Charpieu, France.

Man Utd must improve after Fulham win, says Amorim

LONDON, ENGLAND - JANUARY 26: Manchester United Manager Ruben Amorim during the Premier League match between Fulham FC and Manchester United FC at Craven Cottage on January 26, 2025 in London, England. Ruben Amorim welcomed a rare clean sheet in Manchester United's 1-0 win at Fulham on Sunday but did not gloss over his side's need to improve despite a vital three points. Lisandro Martinez's deflected winner offered some respite to Amorim, who has won just four of his 12 Premier League games in charge. United climb to 12th in the table, now a comfortable 13 points above the bottom three. But their performance was in keeping with many others under two different managers this season, against sides with a fraction of their budget. There was little to get United co-owner Jim Ratcliffe excited ...
