Erik ten Hag's Manchester United secured a second win of pre-season, by beating Melbourne Victory 4-1 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, in front of around ...

Still, it shows we have plenty of options for rotation in the forward positions, with Erik commenting in his Thursday press conference that he feels Donny van de Beek could also occupy an attacking midfield – and perhaps even a false no.9 – role. The Ivorian stood out when fielded there in the Liverpool clash, as he set up Facundo Pellistri’s goal – our fourth of the game – but Marcus soon swapped with him, latching on to Eric Bailly's through ball to score our third. The signing of the 35-year-old former United winger has been headline news in Australia all week and even though he’d only travelled Down Under earlier this week and trained twice with his new team-mates, Nani – who stopped to grab a quick word with MUTV before kick-off – was named on the Victory bench. Eight of the 10 replacements had also played in Bangkok, but for Ethan Laird and Tahith Chong, it was a chance to get some minutes in the legs and time on the pitch for United after spending much of the recent time out on loan. For the second friendly in a row, Erik opted to change his entire outfield line-up at the break, with Rashford captaining a younger and more inexperienced side in the second half. The Reds were behind for much of the first half, following a shock early Victory opener, but a couple of goals before half-time from Scott McTominay and Anthony Martial put us in the driving seat.

John Murtough, Manchester United's football director, added: "Christian has been one of the best attacking midfielders in Europe throughout his career. On Friday evening, Ajax centre back Lisandro Martinez posted an image on his Instagram account of him and his agent on a plane with the caption "heading to Manchester", with a £45m switch nearing completion. "In addition to his outstanding technique, Christian will add valuable experience and leadership skills to the squad, and we are looking forward to seeing the benefits of these qualities on the pitch this coming season and beyond." "Manchester United is a special club, and I cannot wait to get started," said Eriksen. "I have had the privilege of playing at Old Trafford many times but to do it in the red shirt of United will be an amazing feeling.

They can stay back and deal with any admin they need to take care of.” Manchester United are expected to imminently announce a deal in the region of £45m for Lisandro Martínez from Ajax. Lisandro Martinez, the Ajax centre-back, is expected to be named United’s third signing of the summer, with a deal for the 24-year-old advancing.

Manchester United signed Christian Eriksen on Friday with the Denmark midfielder arriving at Old Trafford as a free agent on a three-year deal.

"I have seen Erik's work at Ajax and know the level of detail and preparation that he and his staff put into every day. "I still have major ambitions in the game, there is a huge amount that I know I can achieve, and this is the perfect place to continue my journey."

The summer transfer window has been dominated by the farcical situation surrounding Manchester United, Barcelona and Frenkie de Jong, which grows more ...

That is despite reports in Spain earlier this week claiming Barcelona could leave him out of their tour to the United States in a ruthless effort to force him to accept his fate. The first part of Laporta's declaration relates to speculation Barcelona must offload De Jong in order to register the likes of Raphinha, Andreas Christensen and Franck Kessie, who they signed this summer. Undeterred by this first rejection, Ten Hag began planning for the future and held a phone call with his compatriot to inform him of the pivotal midfield role he would be given at Old Trafford. Although United are not in the best of positions after missing out on Champions League football with a sixth-place finish last season, the main issues causing his serious concerns relate to leaving Barcelona. With an agreement finally reached between United and Barca, De Jong is faced with Camp Nou exile if he fails to consent to the Premier League switch, which would necessitate him leaving his "dream" club. What started as Erik ten Hag's honest attempt to sign his former Ajax colleague and make him United's midfield lynchpin has turned into a nightmare for the player concerned.

MANCHESTER UNITED have agreed a deal to sign Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong...

Barcelona have reportedly agreed a deal worth around £68m with Manchester City for Bernardo Silva, widely thought to be De Jong's replacement. When asked about the 25-year-old's future, Alemany admitted that La Liga's Fair Play rules are forcing Barcelona to cash in on players. The Red Devils are closing in on Erik ten Hag's priority transfer target after completing exhaustive talks to settle on a fee.

MAN UTD's transfer plans under Erik ten Hag are finally beginning to take shape.

I still have major ambitions in the game, there is a huge amount that I know I can achieve, and this is the perfect place to continue my journey.” “I have seen Erik’s work at Ajax and know the level of detail and preparation that he and his staff put into every day. The 30-year-old briefly trained under Ten Hag at Ajax while he looked for a new club after terminating his contract with Inter Milan last year. “Manchester United is a special club, and I cannot wait to get started. An announcement over a deal is apparently ‘imminent’. New boss Ten Hag has been keen to raid his former club for players with whom he is familiar to ensure a seamless transition to life at Old Trafford. Left-sided defender Martinez has been a top target ever since the Dutchman’s appointment was confirmed in May.

"I have had the privilege of playing at Old Trafford many times but to do it in the red shirt of United will be an amazing feeling. Like Martinez, Eriksen knows Ten Hag well as he trained with Ajax on his road to recovery from the cardiac arrest he suffered at Euro 2020 last summer. He will provide United with a classy, versatile option in defence, competing for minutes with the likes of Harry Maguire, Raphael Varane, Eric Bailly and Victor Lindelof at centre-back.

Eric Bailly stole headlines with an absurd assist for Marcus Rashford in Manchester United's pre-season win over Melbourne Victory…

Bailly led the charge at the back with big tackles and spells of possession, one or two of which almost saw him dispossessed and would’ve set Melbourne clean through on goal. It’s a real shame that injuries have ravaged him so often since joining United in 2016. It was a solid showing from Melbourne, but United’s advances and fatigue setting in ultimately saw them weaken as the game grew on.

Close behind Zidane were Jadon Sancho and Anthony Martial, who claimed 15 and 14 per cent, respectively, in the poll. But United remained patient and stayed true to Ten Hag's possession-based style, with Jadon Sancho again in mesmerising form down the right flank. It was a close-run thing, as you can see below... So what are you waiting for?Visit MUTV now. But who emerged on top as our standout performer? It was a different kind of test to our pre-season opener against Liverpool, with the hosts opting to sit deep and frustrate our litany of attacking talents.

The Argentine was pictured alongside his agent on a private jet seemingly headed to Manchester, where he is set to undergo a medical and sign his contract. The 24-year-old has been consistently linked with United and Ten Hag has now got his top defensive target. The Dutch side initially remained firm and insisted that their best players would not join Ten Hag at Old Trafford, but have now reneged on their stance.

Lisandro Martinez's move from Ajax to Manchester United is nearing completion, he'll cost around €55 million.

Despite his reasonably small stature (he stands around 5’9″), Martinez is great in the air, tackles brilliantly and can play passes as good as any midfielder, something we touched on HERE. For a club of their stature, Europa League football is simply not good enough and the onus will be on Ten Hag to guide the team back into the Champions League for 2023/24. Martinez will be United’s third signing of the summer after the arrivals of Tyrell Malacia from Feyenoord and Christian Eriksen on a free transfer.

NOT EVERYONE will be happy to see Christian Eriksen arrive at Old Trafford.

The arrival of Ten Hag at United was fantastic news for Donny van de Beek, who returned from his loan spell at Everton delighted to be reunited with his old Ajax boss. All three are currently out in Australia with United, trying to impress Ten Hag in training. The signing of Christian Eriksen provided Manchester United with a timely boost on Friday, but it is not good news for everyone at the club. With Bruno Fernandes also untouchable, his chances of getting a regular starting berth suddenly look slim. Announcing the signing, John Murtough, United’s football director, said: “Christian has been one of the best attacking midfielders in Europe throughout his career. Negotiations with Barcelona for top target Frenkie de Jong have stalled, leaving Tyrell Malacia as the only confirmed arrival before Eriksen’s.

Much debate was had about his future but Sir Alex made a decisive move for a player who had grown up with the enemy at Liverpool. The fact he took on Cristiano Ronaldo's no.7 jersey showed the manager was not worried about any of that, saying: "He'll give us experience in the penalty box. The decision disappointed Bhoys boss Martin O'Neill but Sir Alex had been impressed with somebody who caught his eye when he was believed to be scouting Vincent Kompany during a Champions League tie with Anderlecht at Parkhead. "Our relationship with Celtic has always been a good one," stressed Ferguson. "We took Brian McClair in exactly the same end-of-contract circumstances before the Bosman ruling came in. We tried to get Karim Benzema but, as soon as that dropped through, we went for Michael." That was evident early in his Reds career, when he scored a memorable injury-time winner in the Manchester derby, and he finished with 17 goals in 52 outings, including a strike in the League Cup final against Aston Villa. He also helped United win the league in 2010/11, something he had failed to manage at Anfield. However, he was later allowed to join Middlesbrough on a free transfer.Every pre-season game, including Tuesday's match against Crystal Palace, will be shown Fortunately, his output matched his ego and his signing proved a masterstroke, as he led the line superbly under Jose Mourinho. Like Cavani, he had left PSG and wanted to taste English football for the first time. "We were desperate to get him when Peter left because he was here when he was a lad but couldn't get a work permit," said the boss. The late Irish midfielder, who sadly passed away in 2018, failed to renew his contract with Celtic and signed a pre-agreement instead with United in January 2004, as was permitted under the Bosman ruling. However, injuries hampered his second campaign and he left this summer, with 19 goals in 59 matches to his name. The Dane's were big shoes to fill but Ferguson was convinced in the new man after agreeing a four-year contract. With Dean Henderson loaned to Nottingham Forest for the 2022/23 campaign, he could be hoping for more first-team exposure this term. Blanc played 75 times for the Reds and helped the team win the Premier League title in 2002/03. The stylish France international had been on United's radar for so long, even after appearing against Alex Ferguson's team for Montpellier during our successful European Cup Winners' Cup run in 1991.

I still have major ambitions in the game, there is a huge amount that I know I can achieve, and this is the perfect place to continue my journey.” Speaking after his arrival at the club, Eriksen said: “Manchester United is a special club, and I cannot wait to get started. While Arsenal were also in the race for the defender, his history with Ten Hag has been cited as a key reason for why he pushed for a move to Old Trafford rather than the Emirates Stadium.

MANCHESTER UNITED are hellbent on signing Frenkie de Jong from Barcelona in this summer's transfer window.

€85m is a large price, but at the same time it wasn’t so long ago that he was seen as one of the hottest prospects in European football. “Ten Hag needs to be able to get the players he wants. And whether United are able to bring in a midfielder, as the clock starts to tick, is something only time will tell. It will be fascinating to see if the Red Devils can get a deal over the line, with the saga starting to resemble the failed pursuit of Cesc Fabregas back in 2013. And De Jong has now dropped a hint he’ll be with his Barcelona team-mates for their upcoming pre-season tour of the United States. Manchester United agreed a fee with Barcelona for De Jong earlier in the week, with the Red Devils prepared to pay an initial £63million to land their No 1 target.

Eriksen became our second signing under new manager Erik ten Hag on Friday, following the transfer of Tyrell Malacia from Feyenoord at the beginning of July.

Eriksen is the player that has the quality to make others do that.” Our panel also reacts to the big news that United have signed Christian Eriksen on a three-year contract. He can keep the ball and he’s not scared of the ball as well. He came back into the Premier League and has done really well.” Can he play somewhere else? A quality player.
