After the international break, the Premier League will be back with one of the greatest derbies of the last 15 years. Chelsea host Manchester United on Saturday in a match of great importance for both teams.
While Chelsea lead the table together with Liverpool and Manchester City, the Red Devils struggle to impress in their worst campaign start since the early 90s.

Chelsea F.C. vs. Manchester United News

In the last round, Chelsea have easily beaten Southampton to reclaim the Premier League leadership after Liverpool and Manchester City made a goalless draw.
On the other hand, Manchester United finally grabbed the 3 points in a dramatic comeback against Newcastle. However, they have to produce much more in order to compete for a Champions League spot this season.
Chelsea have no issues with injured or suspended players and Eden Hazard is in good form, netting 7 times in 8 games.
Ander Herrera, Jesse Lingard, and Marcos Rojo will surely miss the clash while Ashley Young is still questionable.

Manchester United vs. Newcastle United Preview, Tips and Odds

Andy Brown — Thu, 04 Oct 2018 12:50:44 +0000

Manchester United are still seeking the form everyone expected from them when the season started. With a number of bad performances, Jose Mourinho’s position as a manager seems more and more unstable. Newcastle have a great opportunity to reap some dividends from the match, especially if we consider the fact they are still in the relegation zone with just 2 points from 7 games.
This match can be decisive for both managers as an eventual win for any of the sides may lead to manager rotations.

Manchester United vs. Newcastle United News

After the draw with Valencia in the UCL, Manchester United feel more pressure than ever under Mourinho’s reign and only a number of wins can help them. After next week’s international break, the Red Devils will face Chelsea in EPL and Juventus in UCL, with just 3 days between the games which makes the match with Newcastle a must-win one.
On the other hand, Newcastle have a great opportunity to slowly get into the season. After the disappointing transfer window, the team struggles to score and the pressure on Rafael Benitez grows.
Marcos Rojo and Sergio Romero are to miss the match for the Red Devils.
Florian Lejeune and Solomon Rondon will not be available to Rafa Benitez.

Manchester United vs. Newcastle United Head to Head

The last 5 matches between the two ended with 2 wins for Manchester United, 2 draws and a 1-0 win for Newcastle in the last game.
Manchester United could not keep a clean sheet against Newcastle in 3 successive games.
Both teams come into the match after terrible streaks as the Red Devils had no win in 4 games while the Magpies recorded a 12-game streak without a win.

Manchester United vs. Newcastle United Betting Tips

Manchester United have not lost at half time in 18 successive home matches in all competitions.
Newcastle managed to keep the draw at half time in their last 4 matches.
Manchester United have scored 3+ goals in 6 out of their last 10 matches against Newcastle.

Manchester United vs. Newcastle United Prediction

Although Manchester United are clear favourites (priced at 1.45 @bet365) and have a home advantage, there are some better bets to be made as United does not look as solid as they should.
Opting for a draw at half time is priced at 2.30 and looks like a reasonable risk. What might catch your eye is the decent 3.00 price for 0-0 at half time.

Andy Brown — Fri, 28 Sep 2018 16:13:46 +0000

Next Tuesday will see the clash of Premier League team Manchester United against Primera División’s Valencia. The two teams will meet on the pitch for a Champions League game hosted by the Red Devils. Manchester are seeking another victory after they defeated Young Boys with 3-0 in the first leg.
Valencia lost against Juventus in a game with 3 penalties. The Bats were one player ahead of Juventus after Cristiano Ronaldo’s red card but it was still obvious they are not ready to compete with top European clubs yet.

Manchester United vs. Valencia CF Head to Head

15.09.82 UEL Manchester United 0-0 Valencia
29.09.82 UEL Valencia 2-1 Manchester United
08.12.99 UCL Manchester United 3-0 Valencia
21.03.00 UCL Valencia 0-0 Manchester United

20.02.01 UCL Manchester United 1-1 Valencia
29.09.10 UCL Valencia 0-1 Manchester United
07.12.10 UCL Manchester United 1-1 Valencia
Both teams have met six times in Champions League games, all of which were at the group stages. The latest duel happened eight years ago. Manchester United won the first leg with 1-0 at Valencia’s home stadium and the second one ended in a draw (1:1).
Anderson and Chicharito were the scorers in these matches and only Chris Smalling is still in the current squad of Man United. As many as 5 out of 8 international clashes between the two teams have finished in draws – 3 of these were goalless and in the other 2 the result was 1-1. The Red Devils have 2 wins at Old Trafford and a single one away from home.
The only Valencia victory happened in 1982 in a UEFA Cup round. Jose Mourinho has a lot of problems to resolve as his team’s performance is too tentative. The Red Devils’ manager didn’t get the centre-backs he wanted during the transfer period and now some of his defenders are suffering from injuries.

Manchester United vs. Valencia CF Betting Tips

Phil Jones is available but Marcos Rojo picked up an injury and the results of his last fitness test will be decisive as to whether he will be allowed to start. Lukaku will have no chance in front if he does not get enough help from the attacking midfielders.
That’s the reason why Manchester United’s players don’t create many goal chances in their matches. In fact, there has been no clear style of playing since Sir Alex Ferguson retired. United are apparently still seeking themselves.
Valencia has not been performing very well in La Liga since the beginning of the season and have recorded 5 draws. Santi Mina is ruled out due to injury but Valencia has enough good players in attack to replace him. Most probably Rodrigo and Batshuayi will be featured in the starting eleven as Gameiro will come off the bench in the second half.
The visitors will try to stop United’s attacks in their half, waiting for the right moment to counter attack. The same tactics were introduced by Sevilla during the previous season when they removed United from the Champions League.

Manchester United vs. Valencia CF Prediction

Manchester United have been under-performing since the beginning of the month. Also, the scandals between Pogba and Mourinho are a factor to consider. Having all this in mind, it is very likely Red Devils will not have the will to win the match.

West Ham United vs. Manchester United Preview, Tips and Odds

Andy Brown — Thu, 27 Sep 2018 11:46:04 +0000

Will this be José Mourinho’s last match as the Red Devils’ manager? We will know the answer with certainty after this Saturday’s Premier League match between West Ham and Manchester United. The failure to go through to the next round in the midweek EFL fixture against Derby County increased the pressure on Manchester United’s manager.
The confrontation with Paul Pogba escalated after Mourinho’s decision to remove the player from captaincy. According to some reporters, the main reason for their conflict is Paul Pogba’s desire to join Barcelona during next winter’s transfer window. All this mess within the club makes the players feel nervy.
As opposed to United, West Ham’s manager Manuel Pellegrini has no such problems although the start of the season has been too weak for his team. The Hammers lost 4 consecutive games but an improvement was evident in their last 2 league clashes.

Key Players Missing

Andy Carroll, Jack Wilshere, and Winston Reid will not play due to injuries.
Marko Arnautovic and Chicharito are questionable for the hosts.
Marcos Rojo (knock injury) and Marcus Rashford (suspension) are missing for the visitors.

West Ham United vs. Manchester United Head to Head

10.05.18 EPL West Ham 0-0 Manchester United
13.08.17 EPL Manchester United 4-0 West Ham
02.01.17 EPL West Ham 0-2 Manchester United
30.11.16 EFL Manchester United 4-1 West Ham
27.11.16 EPL Manchester United 1-1 West Ham
10.05.16 EPL West Ham 3-2 Manchester United
Manchester United totally dominates in the matches between the two sides as they have won 31 out of 51 games. However, The Red Devils have snatched the victory only twice in the last 6 games at The Hammers’ stadium. The last West Ham home win took place on 10 May 2016. Only 3 of all their matches have finished goalless.

West Ham Team Form

26.09.18 EFL West Ham 8-0 Macclesfield
23.09.18 EPL West Ham 0-0 Chelsea
16.09.18 EPL Everton 1-3 West Ham
01.09.18 EPL West Ham 0-1 Wolves
28.08.18 EFL AFC Wimbledon 1-3 West Ham
25.08.18 EPL Arsenal 3-1 West Ham

Manchester United Team Form

25.09.18 EFL Manchester United 2-2 Derby County
22.09.18 EPL Manchester United 1-1 Wolves
19.09.18 UCL Young Boys 0-3 Manchester United
15.09.18 EPL Watford 1-2 Manchester United
02.09.18 EPL Burnley 0-2 Manchester United
27.08.18 EPL Manchester United 0-3 Tottenham
The hosts were on fire last night, scoring 8 undisputed goals against Macclesfield in the EFL fixture, but the team from League 2 is simply no match for the high-level clubs. Of course, there is a lot of inspiration in The Hammers’ squad now and they will try to bring it on the pitch in Saturday’s match. Manchester United need a win to keep the distance with the leaders of the table short.
We expect more defensive tactics by Jose Mourinho in this match, counting on Romelu Lukaku in front only as most probably Martial and Juan Mata will be replaced by Fred and Fellaini in the starting lineups, unlike their last match in the midweek against Derby County.

West Ham United vs. Manchester United Betting Tips

Both teams scored in 3 out of 6 West Ham league games in the current season. In 4 games, it was total goals over 2.5 goals and in 4 games, it was total goals over 1.5 goals. The average number of corners for/against per game is 3.67.

Wolverhampton vs. Manchester United Preview, Tips and Odds

Gooty — Wed, 19 Sep 2018 13:09:06 +0000

Despite the cold statistics, demonstrating the clear dominance of Man United, the Wolves seem to be confident for the upcoming clash this weekend. The Wolverhampton Wanderers vs. Manchester United, scheduled for Saturday, may surprise a lot of fans on Old Trafford. The two teams are going to the fixture after winning their last two Premier League matches and Manchester United is currently leading with just one point.

Wolves vs. Man United Odds

Manchester United is a clear favourite for the match, with bookmakers offering 1.63 to win. The odds for the Wolverhampton are 6.5.

Wolves vs. Man United Head to Head

Favourites Manchester United have scored wins in their last six fixtures against Wolverhampton at Old Trafford. This includes the last four matches in the Premier League. United comes from two wins against Watford (2-1) and Burnley (2-0), but right before that, they were destroyed by Tottenham (0-3) and could not score a draw against Brighton (2-3). The favourite will also want to avoid two home losses in a row in the Premier League since March 2014.
Wolverhampton Wanderers also won their last two matches in the Premier League – against Burnley (1-0) and West Ham (1-0). But in early September, the clash with Scunthorpe finished a draw, with none of the teams scoring. The Wolves have not been successful three times in a row in the Premier League since March 1980.
Out of eight total matches, Man United have six wins, four at home and another two away, while the Wolves have two home wins.

Wolves vs. Man United News

Manchester United’s Romelu Lukaku is the joint-top goalscorer among all forwards, scoring four times ahead of the upcoming match. Hopes are high for him to continue his excellent performance in Saturday’s match against the Wolves on Old Trafford. As Jose Mourinho is looking for a third consecutive win, the Belgian player’s stats would certainly be as essential as they are impressive. He has 14 shots within the penalty area, as well as 8 shots on target.
Following Wolverton’s performance against Burnley at Molineux on Sunday, however, the Wolves will not be easy to defeat. Raul Jimenez netted for a 1-0 result, but the team had a little over 30 attempts on goals.

Wolves vs. Man United Predictions

Despite the positive reviews after Wolverhampton’s win against Burnley, Manchester United remains the absolute favourite.

Manchester United want Serie A star in exchange for Paul Pogba

Sri Aswin — Mon, 10 Sep 2018 11:29:46 +0000

Manchester United are reportedly looking at the prospect of signing Juventus’ Paulo Dybala in a straight-exchange deal for midfielder Paul Pogba. Pogba has generated doubts over his United future since the summer and it is suggested that he could pursue a return to Turin at the turn of the year.
According to Calciomercato, the Red Devils are open to the option of selling Pogba to the Serie A holders in the near future and Mourinho could be willing to sign Dybala in a potential swap agreement.
Pogba has been largely inconsistent with his showing for United since rejoining them from Juventus in the summer of 2016 and of late, he has created doubts over his future by refusing to rule out a future move away from Old Trafford.
As such, it appears that United could sanction the player’s return to the Bianconeri, though they are said to want Dybala in exchange amid his difficult situation with the Italian champions.
Dybala enjoyed a fruitful 2017/18 season whereby he contributed a career-high tally of 26 goals across all competitions but he has yet to get off the mark this term amid his reduced gametime.
The former Palermo man has been restricted to just two appearances since the start of the season and this has largely come about with summer signing Cristiano Ronaldo commanding a regular role ahead of him.
Aside from United, Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona and Real Madrid are all said to be monitoring the Argentine forward but Calciomercato suggests that the Bianconeri could be tempted by the Red Devils’ offer which would witness them re-sign former favourite Pogba.
Regardless of the speculation, Pogba remains a United player at present and he is currently preparing to return for club duty after featuring for France in the Nations League games against Germany and the Netherlands respectively.

Zinedine Zidane compiles transfer shortlist amid Manchester United link

Joe Rooney — Sun, 09 Sep 2018 07:38:36 +0000

Former Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has reportedly compiled a four-man transfer shortlist amid the recent speculation associating him with the Manchester United job.
The legendary Frenchman is presently on a sabbatical after spending two-and-a-half seasons with Los Blancos where he went on to win three Champions League titles and a La Liga crown.
Over the past few weeks, Jose Mourinho’s future at Old Trafford has been called into question amid the club’s average start to the season and The Mirror reports that Zidane is supposedly keeping an eye on the proceedings.
Zidane is understood to have a lasting desire to succeed Mourinho at the Theatre of Dreams and The Mirror reports that the three-time Champions League-winning manager has already drawn up a shortlist of targets.
In his wishlist, the Frenchman is said to have Real Madrid duo Toni Kroos and James Rodriguez – currently on loan with Bayern Munich whilst Rodriguez’s clubmate Thiago Alcantara and Paris Saint-Germain’s Edinson Cavani are also included.
Nonetheless, Zidane may have a tough time convincing the United hierarchy to spend hefty sums on the quartet, given the club have recently urged Mourinho to concentrate on developing talents from the youth system.
Since their time under Louis van Gaal, United have certainly opened their cheque books to compete with Europe’s elite but of late, they seem to have taken a back step whereby the club are only seeking players, who could provide a re-sale value in the future.
Based on this, the likes of Cavani and Kroos, in particular, may not appeal the board in the forthcoming transfer windows, although nothing of this may happen, should Mourinho remain at the helm of things.
The Portuguese currently has the entire support from above despite the average beginning to the campaign and the coming months may decide whether he can preserve his position. United are presently 10th on the table after registering just six points from their opening four league games.

Manchester United shelve contract talks with World Cup winner

Sri Aswin — Fri, 07 Sep 2018 20:59:39 +0000

Manchester United have reportedly stalled on discussions over a new contract with Paul Pogba amid the uncertainty over the midfielder’s future at Old Trafford.
The France international has been a regular for the Red Devils over the past couple of seasons and there remains question marks regarding his long-term future amid his strained relationship with Jose Mourinho.
According to ESPN FC, United had initially planned to discuss a contract extension with the midfielder but their plans have now been shelved with the midfielder continuing to present an uncertainty over his Old Trafford future.
Pogba had been heavily linked with a move to Barcelona this summer but the move could not materialise after executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward refused to entertain offers for the World Cup winner.
Since then, Pogba is deemed to have called a truce with Mourinho to stay put for the season but ESPN reports that the Frenchman could push for an exit next summer, should Barcelona revive their interest.
Pogba returned to the United fray last month after an impressive showing for Les Bleus at the summer World Cup but he has since struggled to replicate a similar performance for Mourinho’s side.
Barring the two penalty goals he has scored, Pogba has looked far from impressive with his open play and this has supposedly angered a section of the United faithful amid his reluctance to rule out a future move away from the club.
Pogba is presently with Les Bleus for the inaugural UEFA Nations League and he played the entire 90 minutes of the goalless stalemate against Joachim Loew’s Germany on Thursday night.
He is very much certain to retain his starting role for the next group stage game versus the Netherlands at the Stade de France on Sunday evening. France have won each of their previous four matches against the Dutch.

French attacker pulls the plug on Manchester United contract talks

Sri Aswin — Thu, 06 Sep 2018 22:55:59 +0000

Manchester United attacker Anthony Martial has supposedly stalled on discussions over a new contract with the club amid his struggles to secure a regular role under manager Jose Mourinho.
A recent report from The Times suggested that the Frenchman is prepared to sign a new five-year contract with the club with the hope that he can outlast Mourinho at the Old Trafford outfit.
However, there has since been no update with regards to the proposed extension and The Sun suggests that the 22-year-old has binned contract talks until he can get a clarity over his position under Mourinho.
Martial’s relationship with Mourinho deteriorated during the backend of the previous campaign after he found himself dropped to the bench upon the winter arrival of Alexis Sanchez.
Thereafter, the Frenchman struggled to make an impression during the remainder of the campaign and the situation has remained the same this term where he has made a solitary start against Brighton & Hove Albion.
As such, The Sun claims that Martial has been reluctant to extend his United contract since May and the standoff could prolong for the ongoing campaign, though the club want his future resolved by next summer.
At present, Martial may have to stick with a bench role for the forthcoming Premier League game but he could however earn a start in the League Cup fixture against Derby County, given the manager may seek to rotate the squad.
On regular periods, Marcus Rashford would unquestionably be the preferred pick to lead the line for such an encounter but Martial should have the advantage this time around with the former serving a three-man suspension after his sending-off versus Burnley.
Martial presently has just 10 months remaining on his current £65,000-a-week contract with United but the club have the option of an extension clause which would prolong his stay by an additional season.

£75,000-a-week midfielder weighing up Manchester United exit

Sri Aswin — Tue, 04 Sep 2018 11:29:05 +0000

Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera is reportedly considering his future with the Old Trafford outfit amid the lack of progress with regards to a contract extension. The Spain international has been with the Red Devils since the summer of 2014 but over the past year, his gametime has reduced with the vast competition for places.
According to Metro, the 29-year-old is keen to commit his future to the Mancunian giants with his existing contract due to expire at the end of the current campaign. However, United are yet to make any progress in terms of extending his stay and this may witness him to pursue a new challenge when the transfer window reopens in the New Year.
Herrera was more of a bit-part player during his first two seasons under Louis van Gaal but his skills came to the fray under Jose Mourinho after starring during the club’s Europa League and League Cup double during the 2016/17 campaign.
Owing to his, Herrera also got recognition with the Spain national team for the first time in his career but thereafter things have turned pear-shaped with the added competition at the club.
Over the past two summer transfer windows, the likes of Nemanja Matic and Fred have been recruited to bolster the heart of the midfield and this has witnessed Herrera drop down the pecking order.
Moreover, Mourinho has also preferred to favour Marouane Fellaini ahead of him after his recent contract extension and the Belgian seems to have become the first-choice substitute, if one of Paul Pogba, Fred or Matic are required to be replaced.
Herrera, who is currently on a £75,000 weekly package (The Express), was restricted to just 13 league starts during the previous campaign. The current season has not seen an improvement with just one start from the opening four games, and that surprisingly came in the central defensive position in the shocking 3-0 home defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.
