According to recent reports, Man United defender Harry Maguire has pleaded guilty to speeding charges for the second time.

Harry Maguire has faced fines and driving bans for multiple speeding offences and for the second time the Man United defender was caught driving his Land Rover at 68mph in a 60mph zone on the A616 in South Yorkshire. After pleading guilty, he was fined £670, with an additional £268 victim surcharge and £90 in court costs, bringing the total penalty to £1,028, along with three points added to his license.

In a separate incident, Maguire received a 56-day driving ban and a £1,052 fine for speeding at 85mph in a 50mph zone near Manchester Airport last March. His Range Rover was captured on camera exiting a tunnel under the runway at excessive speed.

At the time, he already had three points on his license from a 2021 violation. Two days later, he was again found speeding, adding three more points. His solicitor admitted that the speed was "wholly excessive," and Maguire accepted the punishment, which included a £666 fine, £120 in court costs, and a £266 surcharge.

According to The Mirror, Maguire’s additional speeding violation resulted in a £1,000 fine and three more points on his license. Despite his driving troubles, Manchester United recently extended his contract by 12 months, exercising an option to do so. However, manager Ruben Amorim emphasized the need for Maguire to step up as a leader in what has been a challenging season for the club.

As the January 2025 transfer window reaches the 8th day, the speculations surrounding the future of Marcus Rashford at Man United have raised more questions than answers.

Following the high level of uncertainty that has continued to surround the future of Marcus Rashford the latest update on his time at Man United as the January 2025 transfer window progresses has sparked a debate on social media.

With reports confirming a possible active January 2025 transfer window for Manchester United as new manager Ruben Amorim seeks to strengthen the squad amidst a challenging season, questions about the future of certain players have continued to emerge as time progresses. Amorim has pinpointed key areas in need of reinforcements, notably the left-back position and the striker role, as part of his efforts to turn around the team’s fortunes.

One of the most intriguing stories surrounding the club involves Marcus Rashford, whose future at Old Trafford remains uncertain. The forward has been linked with a potential departure due to his declining form and substantial wages.

According to reports if Rashford is open to a new challenge, and United appears willing to let him go if the right terms can be agreed upon. Negotiations have reportedly begun with AC Milan regarding a possible loan move, though Borussia Dortmund has also shown interest. However, United is only willing to approve a loan deal if it includes an obligation to buy, ensuring a longer-term solution.

On the outgoing front, alongside Rashford, Victor Lindelof and Christian Eriksen both nearing the end of their contracts could also be set to leave. However, youngsters Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho are expected to stay, despite speculative reports suggesting they might be sold to meet financial regulations.

As the transfer window heats up, Manchester United’s moves will be closely watched. The coming weeks are likely to bring pivotal decisions that could shape the club’s trajectory for the rest of the season.

Victor Osimhen reportedly rejects big money transfer to Man United https://notjustok.com/sports/victor-osimhen-transfer-to-man-united/ https://notjustok.com/sports/victor-osimhen-transfer-to-man-united/#respond Tue, 07 Jan 2025 11:48:02 +0000 https://notjustok.com/?p=476433 Recent reports indicate that Victor Osimhen has rejected a big money move to Man United in the January 2025 transfer window.

Recent reports indicate that Victor Osimhen has rejected a big money move to Man United in the January 2025 transfer window.

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis is reportedly upset with Victor Osimhen after the Nigerian striker turned down a potential transfer to Man United in the January 2025 window. Since September, Osimhen has been excelling on loan at Galatasaray, scoring 10 goals in 15 league appearances. Despite interest from the Premier League giants, Osimhen remains committed to staying with Galatasaray until the end of the season.

According to reports, his decision has frustrated De Laurentiis, who views it as another instance of the player complicating matters for Napoli. The club had been aiming to secure a €81 million sale in January, but Osimhen's stance has put that plan in jeopardy. If he remains with Galatasaray until the summer, his release clause will decrease to €75 million.

The summer of 2024 saw multiple top-tier clubs vying for Osimhen’s signature:

  1. Paris Saint-Germain: The French champions were early contenders for the striker but failed to finalize a deal.
  2. Chelsea: The London club made an attempt to sign him, but disagreements over valuation and the player’s preferences stalled negotiations.

Despite this widespread interest, Osimhen stayed with Napoli, and De Laurentiis has been vocal about his determination to keep him. However, the recent fallout suggests the player's future at Napoli is far from settled, and a transfer remains a possibility.

According to La Repubblica, De Laurentiis expressed his frustration over the latest development by stating, "Then let him stay where he is. Tell Galatasaray to keep Osimhen."

The top Premier League clash between Liverpool and Manchester United which is slated to be played on Sunday, January 5, 2025, could be postponed to a later date.

Liverpool will be looking to continue in their fantastic form when they host their arc rivals in the Premier League, Manchester United.

On the other hand, the Red Devils have been in bad form with five defeats in their last six league matches. The games include home defeats to Nottingham Forest, Bournemouth, and Newcastle United, and defeats at Arsenal and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Why will Liverpool vs Manchester United be postponed?

The temperature and weather always go very low below zero degrees across the country. There are some weather condition where the Premier League body always choose to postpone games, mainly if there is too much snow, if the ground is iced over or if visibility is severely impacted due to either rain or fog.

As of Saturday morning, the Met Office has released an Amber snow and ice warning around the Merseyside area across Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning, which may affect the game.

Liverpool leads the league table ahead of Nottingham Forest while Manchester United are currently in the second half of the table after 19 games played in the league with the Reds playing a game less.

What did Ruben Amorim say about Marcus Rashford?

He said,

"Marcus is ill and is not training. I think he's going to be out. The situation is still the same, he’s like all the other players”

Rashford has been in poor form for the past two seasons after he signed a contract extension at Manchester United but has failed to replicate the same performance he showed three seasons ago when he scored 30 goals across all competitions.

Manchester United supporters will be hoping that the new year brings victory their way when they face Liverpool on Sunday, January 4, 2025, after which they will face Arsenal in the third round of the FA Cup.

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has confirmed that his club are in a relegation battle after the club lost another Premier League game to their worst run, leading to the end of the calendar year.

Manchester United lost their last home game of the year when they hosted Newcastle United at Old Trafford on Monday, December 30, 2024. According to Ruben Amorim, during his post-match, press confirms confirmed that the club is in bad form, which is also similar to the relegation battle.

He said,

"That is really clear [United are being dragged into a relegation battle] so we have to fight. It is a really difficult moment, one of the more difficult moments in the history of Manchester United and we have to address it with honesty."

Ruben Amorim also took responsibility for the club's poor form, saying he has not been able to improve them since he joined from Sporting Lisbon.

"It is also my fault. The team is not improving. It is a little bit lost in this moment and it is a bit embarrassing to be Manchester United coach and lose a lot of games. I think people are tired of excuses at this club. This club needs a shock. When you have these kind of moments, especially in the big clubs, it's really hard to turn things around, especially when you don't have a lot of time to train the basics, to cope with the difficult moments. So we have to acknowledge our position, the way you see the league, everybody can beat everybody."

Manchester United supporters will be hoping that the new year brings victory ther way when they face Liverpool on Sunday, January 4, 2025 after which they will face Arsenal in the third round of the FA Cup.

Cristiano Ronaldo in his latest interview at the Globa soccer awards has shared his thoughts on his former club, Man United signing Ruben Amorim.

During the Globe Soccer Awards, Cristiano Ronaldo shared his thoughts on the ongoing struggles at Man United under the management of Ruben Amorim. The Al Nassr captain and iconic Manchester United figure highlighted that the club's challenges extend beyond the coaching staff.

Addressing the situation, Ronaldo defended Amorim, asserting he should not bear the brunt of the blame for the team's difficulties. "The Premier League is the toughest league in the world," Ronaldo remarked. "Every team is competitive, every team fights, runs, and shows strength. Football has evolved—there are no longer any easy matches."

Using a striking metaphor, Ronaldo compared Manchester United's predicament to an aquarium. "Imagine an aquarium with a sick fish. Even if you treat the fish and return it to the same tank, it will fall ill again. Manchester United’s problems are similar—they’re not just about the coach. There are deeper issues at play."

Despite the challenges, Ronaldo voiced confidence in Amorim’s capabilities, citing his impressive record in Portugal. "He achieved great success with my Sporting back in Portugal. But the Premier League is a different challenge, the most competitive league globally. I always knew it would be tough, but storms do pass. The sun will rise again. I’m hopeful for Amorim and Manchester United because it’s a club I continue to hold dear."

Ronaldo's remarks come at a time when Manchester United is struggling in the Premier League, having lost half of their first ten games under Amorim’s management. The Portuguese coach, who replaced Erik ten Hag last month, is facing growing pressure to reverse the team’s fortunes.

The woes of Manchester City continued in the Premier League after they suffered another defeat against Manchester United at the Etihad Stadium.

Two late goals from Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo were enough to grant Manchester United maximum points against the Premier League Champions ( Manchester City). Both teams have been in bad form heading into the Derby across all competitions, this match was one that they both needed victory from as they could not afford a defeat as they look to boost their chances on the Premier League table.

The reigning champions looked to secure three points when Josko Gvardiol headed them into a first-half lead. United struggled to create many chances but leveled the score with just minutes remaining when Matheus Nunes brought down Diallo in the box, with Fernandes converting the penalty kick.

Diallo scored the winning goal of the match by putting the ball over Manchester City's goalkeeper, Ederson, and the rest of the City defenders.

What did Ruben Amorim say about his victory over Manchester City?

This game was the second time that Ruben Amorim will defeat Manchester United in less than two months, the first was in the UEFA Champions League when he was at Sporting Lisbon.

He said,

"It was incredible. It was Fergie time, I believe in it, something magic happened. I think we deserved it. It was very tough match but we believe until the end. We managed to score, we needed that win, it was important for us and for our fans”.

What did Pep Guardiola say about his defeat against Manchester United?

"We are not nice in the way we play. Before, I would say, it was fluid. Now we struggle for different reasons, of course for the lot of defeats. We didn't play at our best, some positions we are not at our best, and we struggle a little bit. But it is what it is. I am the manager of these players, I am the manager of this club, and I have to find solutions, and so far I didn't find it. This is the truth."

The win moves United up to 12th in the Premier League table. City remains fifth, having now won only once in 11 games in all competitions.

Recent reports and speculations have hinted at the first player exit from Man United under Ruben Amorim's leadership in the 2025 transfer window.

Reports suggest that Man United are willing to part ways with Marcus Rashford during the January transfer window, setting his valuation at just £40 million ($51 million) thereby making him the first possible exit under the new head coach Ruben Amorim in the 2025 transfer window.

According to the Daily Mail, the club is not anticipating substantial bids for the England international but sees his sale as a priority. United need to offload players to comply with profit and sustainability regulations, and as a homegrown player, Rashford's transfer would be considered pure profit on their financial records.

Rashford’s market value has plummeted due to underwhelming performances over the past two seasons. While Manchester United previously valued him at over £100 million, they now face diminished interest and lower offers. Should no suitable bids emerge, the club may consider alternative sales, including players like Alejandro Garnacho or Kobbie Mainoo.

Offloading Rashford would provide a financial lift for United, who are reportedly keen to move on from the 27-year-old amid concerns about his lifestyle and commitment. Rashford has scored four goals in 15 Premier League appearances in the 2024-25 season and has recently been benched in matches against Arsenal and Nottingham Forest.

A product of Manchester United’s youth academy, Rashford joined the club at the age of seven. He made an explosive first-team debut in February 2016, scoring twice against Midtjylland in the UEFA Europa League, followed by another brace in his Premier League debut against Arsenal just three days later.

He also found the net in his first Manchester derby, as well as on his EFL Cup and UEFA Champions League debuts. Over the years, Rashford has won an impressive collection of honors with United, including two FA Cups, two EFL Cups, the FA Community Shield, and the UEFA Europa League.

The days of Marcus Rashford at Manchester United could be over sooner than expected following his poor run of form since the beginning of the 2023/24 season.

Marcus Rashford who recently signed a contract extension with Manchester United could be wearing the jersey of another club in no distant time. Sky Germany confirmed on its website on Tuesday, December 10, 2024, that the Red Devils are open to receiving offers for the England international.

The 27-year-old has scored 138 goals for United since he broke into the first team as an 18-year-old in 2016, but following a stunning campaign in 2022-23, he has failed to replicate that form since. The forward scored 30 goals during that amazing season, the performance got him a new five-year deal worth a reported £ 325,000 per week.

It is believed Rashford's salary, is another reason why the club are open to selling him as he is one of the club's highest earners, which means that if he was to leave it would be something that would benefit United's Financial Fair Play (FFP) situation.

Manchester United Football Club decided to go against the Premier League's decision that players and members of staff should wear the LGBTQ+ as a way to show support for the community.

Manchester United ayers abandoned the club’s plans to wear an Adidas jacket in support of the LGBTQ+ community ahead of Sunday’s Premier League match against Everton after defender Noussair Mazraoui refused to join the initiative.

The Premier League have shown support to the LGBTQ+ community with the players wearing Rainbow Laces period in the past two seasons. United’s players have decided to wear a pride-themed jersey to warm up ahead of games, as well as a similar concept jacket to walk out for the game.

Manchester United were only planning a walk-out jacket but Mazraoui joined the Red Devils for £15m during the summer from Bayern Munich. He had initially told his teammates he was not prepared to wear the outfit, citing his Muslim faith as the reason.

The team then decided that no players would wear the tracksuit so that Mazraoui would not be the only one seen publicly refusing to wear it.

Ipswich Town captain Sam Morsy, also a practising Muslim, refused to wear a rainbow armband for religious reasons in his club’s two Rainbow Laces fixtures to support the LGBTQ community while Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi wore the armband but wrote religious messages on the armband.

Players in the Man United travelling squad ahead of the Premier League fixture against Arsenal scheduled for Wednesday, have been revealed.

Man United's traveling squad for the highly anticipated Premier League clash against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, with teenage defender Leny Yoro poised for a potential debut.

The 17-year-old, signed during the summer transfer window in a move that fended off interest from Real Madrid, has been sidelined since pre-season due to a fractured metatarsal sustained during United’s tour of the United States. However, Yoro has returned to fitness and joined the squad for Wednesday night's showdown in London.

United manager Ruben Amorim expressed optimism about Yoro's readiness, describing him as a "special talent" who fits the demands of modern football. "I feel that now is a good moment," Amorim stated. "He’s incredibly fast, good with the ball, and has the qualities needed for high pressing, especially in one-on-one situations. We need to manage his minutes carefully as he integrates fully, but I’m really excited to see him in action."

Yoro's inclusion comes as Lisandro Martinez and Kobbie Mainoo are unavailable due to suspension after accumulating five yellow cards. While the task of facing Arsenal is undoubtedly challenging, the teenager's involvement underscores Amorim’s trust in his potential and marks a significant milestone in the defender's burgeoning career.

United fans will be keen to see how the team performs as they look to bounce back from recent struggles and secure a vital result in this top-tier encounter.

Confirmed Man United squad members for Arsenal fixture:

It has been revealed that Luke Shaw has picked up another injury making him unfit and unavailable for the fixture. Lisandro Martinez and Kobbie Mainoo are also both suspended and will not feature for the Red Devils as well. Here is the confirmed squad below:

Goalkeepers: Onana, Bayindir, Heaton

Defenders: Maguire, De Ligt, Dalot, Yoro, Malacia, Kukonki.

Midfielders: Ugarte, Eriksen, Fernandes, Mount, Casemiro.

Attackers: Rashford, Antony, Hojlund, Zirkzee, Amad, Garnacho
