      A third added: “Do you know what is technically missing in this ten Hag squad? Mason Greenwood.”
      But others were reluctant on the idea, saying he should be “nowhere near United”.
      Greenwood was arrested arrested in January last year following charges of attempted rape, assault and coercive control.
      He was later charged with the offences, before the case was dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service in February.
      United subsequently launched an internal probe, before deciding that Greenwood could not continue his career at Old Trafford.

      Ex-Man Utd cult icon wakes up unemployed after being released by club following horror injury

      by

      CULT Manchester United hero Javier Hernandez faces an uncertain future after LA Galaxy released him following a serious injury suffered in June.The former West Ham striker, 35, known as “Chicharito” which translates to The Little Pea, was famed as a super-sub at Old Trafford from 2010-2015.

      But the 109-cap Mexico international has not played since damaging the ACL on his right knee against Real Salt Lake in the MLS five months ago.
      Now Galaxy are making the ex-Bayer Leverkusen star a free agent after his contract expired.
      Hernandez had one of the Premier League’s best goals-per-minute ratios during his United days.
      But he was frustrated by his lack of starts and, after a loan spell with Real Madrid, he departed Old Trafford eight years ago.

      Now he’s bowing out at Galaxy after 82 games, with just nine of those appearances from the bench – notching 39 goals and six assists.
      But judging by an Instagram post, Hernandez is determined to turn misfortune to his advantage.
      The former Sevilla hitman wrote: “Life becomes exciting when you allow yourself to change and evolve to new challenges.
      “Thanks to everyone who was involved in my journey these 4 years. Thank you for everything @lagalaxy.”

      “Javier was a passionate leader for our club on and off the field.
      “We wish him all the best moving forward.” More

      Man City ‘plot shock transfer raid on bitter rivals Man Utd’ as fans fume ‘fold the club if this happens’

      by

      MANCHESTER CITY are tipped to launch a shock raid on neighbours United for Kobbie Mainoo – leaving Red Devils fans furious.United supporters ranted “Fold the club if this happens” and “£200million or nothing” as City were linked with the midfielder, 18.

      FourFourTwo claim Pep Guardiola’s Treble winners are keen on the starlet – one of the hottest prospects for years from the Old Trafford academy.
      Mainoo had fans raving in pre-season with his mature displays and all-round class, before an ankle injury ruled him out until last month.
      And as Erik ten Hag’s men flounder on all fronts this term, many supporters want the England Under-19 ace fast-tracked into the first team.
      But it’s claimed City are contemplating an approach that would highlight the current gulf between the two clubs.
      READ MORE TOP STORIES
      Etihad chiefs have been focusing more on bringing through youngsters, whereas United appear close to disarray on and off the field ahead of Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s planned £245m investment.
      But it’s unclear if any bid from City for Mainoo would get off the ground.
      Ten Hag rates him highly and United would surely be sensitive to selling such a gem to their closest and fiercest rivals.
      United fans reacted to the speculation over Mainoo with a mixture of anger and scepticism.

      One posted: “If they’re gonna take Mainoo I want Foden and Haaland in return.” 
      Another wrote, “Why tf would he go there?”.
      An an even more confident supporter said: “I don’t think United will ever sell, lmao.”
      Some supporters pleaded for Mainoo to be “given a big run of games” as anchorman Casemiro now faces several weeks out with a hamstring injury.
      And one fan called for a “£1billion release clause please” to kill off any interest from City.
      But with United struggling in the Champions League and Prem, then thumped 3-0 by Newcastle in the Carabao Cup, another observer said of Mainoo: “If he has ambition he will leave.” More

      How West Ham could line up after January transfer window with new striker & Man Utd duo as Sheikh Jassim lines up bid

      The Sheikh wanted a complete £5billion or the Red Devils, with the Glazers instead preferring to sell a smaller stake to Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
      And some of that money could now find its way to East London instead.
      That means manager David Moyes could be for a very busy January transfer window.
      Top of the Scotsman’s list is a new striker, with Danny Ings is yet to prove to be of any competition to No9 Michail Antonio.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      Mexican hot-shot Santiago Gimenez may be the man to change that, following his remarkable goal-scoring form for Feyenoord.
      Tottenham, Arsenal, Newcastle, Inter Milan, AC Milan, Juventus, Napoli, Lazio, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid all have their eyes on the 22-year-old.
      And there is a valid reason for that as so far this term he has scored 15 times in 11 outings in all competitions.
      The East London side did spark interest in the striker during the summer, but Gimenez ended up securing a long-term deal with the Eredivisie side until 2027.

      West Ham are in line to make a move on Manchester United duo Anthony Martial and Harry MaguireCredit: Reuters
      That means he will not come cheap in the new year, as the Rotterdam club have already valued their frontman at £40million.
      And Moyes could move for United’s Anthony Martial if a deal for Gimenez cannot be done.
      The Frenchman, still only 27, is in desperate need of a career lifeline.
      The injury-plagued striker has not completed a full Premier League game since January 2021.
      But Martial’s experience, with over 300 games for United, could be a useful asset to Moyes, alongside right winger Jarrod Bowen.
      And Martial could not be the only out-of-favour Red Devil moving to the London Stadium, with the Hammers ready to try again for Harry Maguire.
      The Hammers offered £20m for the former United captain in the summer, but saw their bid rejected by the player.
      However, Maguire has since hinted that he could leave in January ahead of Euro 2024 if he continues to receive limited game time.
      England stalwart Maguire’s experience would certainly be beneficial to Nayef Aguerd in the West Ham backline.

      But a cheaper option would be Club America’s Uruguay centre-back Sebastian Caceres.
      The Hammers could seal a deal with the 24-year-old in January for as little as £6million.

      And it’s since transpired that the former Real Madrid man has suffered a hamstring injury.
      A club statement read: “Casemiro will be out for several weeks due to a hamstring injury suffered during our Carabao Cup defeat to Newcastle United on Wednesday.
      “The Brazilian midfielder was withdrawn at half-time due to the issue, and subsequent assessment has revealed a strain that will keep him out for a number of weeks.”
      Under-pressure Red Devils boss Ten Hag wasn’t optimistic about the Brazil international being fit for Saturday’s trip to Fulham.
      The Dutchman said in his post-match press conference: “He was injured.
      “Just before half-time, he got an injury. That’s why we had to take him off.”
      When pressed further on a return date, he said: “I can’t give an answer on that.
      “We have to wait 24 hours, but I think definitely for Saturday, he is out.”

      Five-time Champions League winner Casemiro has struggled this season.
      He’s looked a shell of the player who bossed Real Madrid’s midfield, being caught out of position on several occasions and letting opposition players ghost past him far too easily.

      Casemiro’s loss could be the gain of 18-year-old midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, who impressed during pre-season.
      United were dumped out of the Carabao Cup thanks to an embarrassing 3-0 defeat to high-flying Newcastle at Old Trafford.
      Defeat to the Magpies was the club’s EIGHTH loss in 15 matches so far this season.
      Pressure is starting to mount on Ten Hag, who is adamant he can turn the team’s fortunes around.
      He said: “I am a fighter and I know it is not always going to go up and we have a lot of setbacks this season.
      “But also you have to deal with it and that is never an excuse.

      Rasmus Hojlund has scored three goals in Europe since his blockbuster summer arrival but it is understood the club are keen to sign a striker to support the young Dane.
      It is felt there is too much of a burden on Hojlund’s young shoulders to score goals, and United feel he could learn from playing alongside an experienced frontman.
      According to the Daily Mail, United already have several targets in mind who they could try to sign when the transfer window re-opens.
      One is long-term target – Napoli striker Victor Osimhen who finished as Serie A’s top goalscorer last season.

      Napoli slapped a huge asking price on the Nigerian in the summer but a recent fallout means they may now be more willing to listen to offers.

      However recent reports claim the Bees could demand £100million to let the England international leave.
