£55m attacker 'very keen' on Man United move despite lack of Champions League football
Scoring just 44 Premier League goals last season – the fifth-lowest in the entire division – Manchester United are in desperate need of goals. With the opening of the summer transfer window, forwards have been a priority for Ruben Amorim, who wants to revolutionise Man United’s arsenal. United have agreed a deal for Matheus Cunha already, with the Red Devils looking likely to sign Bryan Mbuemo as well. But the addition of a centre forward is a vital component that Amorim wants to fill.

Tennis fans are all saying the same thing after Novak Djokovic’s latest Roland Garros win Original
Some things in life are timeless, be it an old novel, a grandfather clock or after yet another scintillating performance – Novak Djokovic. At 38 years old, Djokovic has no right to be as good as he is, but in the Roland Garros quarter-finals, Alexander Zverev learnt the hard way that the Serb is still one of the very best in the world. Heading into the tournament, it had been a difficult year for Djokovic, with age seemingly finally catching up to him.

Manchester City’s top 25 signings of all time, ranked
With the opening of the summer transfer window, it seems only fitting to take a trip back down memory lane to rank the top 25 Manchester City signings of all time. 180 years ago, in the Parish of East Manchester, a special club was born. St Mark’s West Gorton football club was created by the members of that very church. 14 years after their inception, they were renamed to Manchester City – and the rest, as they say, is history.

In a battle for fourth with just three laps to go, Verstappen collided with Mercedes driver Russell at Turn 5.

Forget Florian Wirtz, Man City have already decided who their Kevin De Bruyne replacement will be - journalist
It looked as if Manchester City were set on Florian Wirtz as Kevin De Bruyne’s replacement, but the German star looks most likely to make the switch to Liverpool instead. Despite City’s long-standing interest in Wirtz, the finances involved have made the former Premier League champions quickly turn their attention elsewhere and they’ve seemingly found their replacement for De Bruyne. After a decade at The Citizens, the Belgian is finally moving on – with Napoli looking likely to sign De Bruyne.

Tammy Abraham sends message to Jadon Sancho after Europa Conference League glory, ‘put respect on his name’…
If you’d told Jadon Sancho four years ago that scoring a stunner in the UEFA Conference League would be his best moment in England, he likely wouldn’t believe you. Nor would the Manchester United fans who were salivating at the idea of signing the Borussia Dortmund winger. But a regrettable spell in Manchester and an inconsistent loan move to Chelsea have dragged the once world-class winger to career instability.

Report: Tottenham could sign ex-Man City star with proven Champions League pedigree
If there’s living proof that one game can change your season – it’s Tottenham Hotspur. A mild, overcast day in Bilbao, which to many, would be forgettable, is the single most important day in the club’s recent history. That victory over Manchester United in the UEFA Europa League final has changed everything for the Lilywhites and potentially kept Ange Postecoglou in a job.

Ruben Amorim claims Man United have a youngster who 'looks like a first-team player' every time he plays
After entering the lion’s den seven months ago, Ruben Amorim has a task as big as any in football on his hands – bringing Manchester United back. A club that has fallen so far, who’ve become so lost that they’re almost unrecognisable to the team that used to send shivers down the spines of any that dared enter Old Trafford.

Romano: David de Gea earns interest from Champions League giant after impressing away from Man Utd
Monaco finished third in Ligue 1, securing a spot in next season’s illustrious UEFA Champions League but their campaign wasn’t as successful as hoped, dropping one place in the league and facing an early bath in Europe after a knock-out defeat to Benfica. In the midst of this was a goalkeeping crisis which saw neither Radoslaw Majecki nor Philipp Köhn able to nail down the number one spot.
David de Gea earns interest from Champions League giant after impressing away from Man Utd
When David de Gea was forced out of Old Trafford in July 2023, many believed his career at the top level of football was over. Fast-forward two years, and the Spaniard’s name is back on the lips of Europe’s top clubs. In his 12-year stint at Manchester United, De Gea rose up from a fragile youngster to one of the world’s best goalkeepers. But towards the end of his reign as Man United’s number one, the unwavering support he once had amongst the Red Devils fanbase was severely depleted.
Has INEOS’ first year at Man United been a success?
Almost a year has passed since Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS purchased a 27.7% stake in Manchester United. Excitement initially buzzed from ear to ear amongst fans, finally seeing an owner with serious intentions taking over the club. But 12 months later, this enthusiasm has seemingly fizzled out. A terrible start to the league, mixed with staff cuts and ticket price increases has damaged fans image of the new co-owners.
Why is Gen-Z Not Watching TV Anymore?
Ethan Bents · Follow Published in Trill Mag · 5 min read · -- From the highlight of our days to not even crossing our minds…where did it all go wrong? Illustration by Yiling Tsai Let’s be honest, you don’t watch television (TV). And if you do, it’s not often. You might be in the small minority who still actively watch a lot of it, but this is becoming increasingly unlikely. With every year that passes, we seem to get further and further away from watching TV.

How Gen Z and TikTok Are Changing The Film Industry
When was the last time you based your opinion of a movie on a review from a film critic? Genuinely…when? Now when was the last time you used TikTok to do the exact same thing? I’m sure TikTok was a LOT more recently. It has become the new source of something even as simple as film reviews. Gen Z no longer trusts the opinion of critics over its own. This is forcing the film industry to change; they must be popular on TikTok.

INEOS vs Todd Boehly and Clearlake: Who Are The Better Owners?
When two of the biggest football clubs in the world both have new owners in just a few years, comparisons are inevitable. Manchester United and Chelsea had been two of the top dogs of English football for some time but recently have found themselves adrift of challenging for titles and European trophies.
Why is Disney Releasing So Many Sequels?
Growing up, just the thought of Disney alone had connotations of magic, fairytale and imagination. They’d built up such a prestigious reputation for their relentless pursuit of originality and creativity. Never ceasing to amaze with the new worlds they created for us to watch and explore. But these very foundations feel more fragile than ever. Disney is losing its identity. Money has taken over. What Has Happened to Disney? The main argument you read is that they’ve lost their innovation.

Has Gen Z Lost Interest in The Sidemen?
For years, a group of seven lads had our Sunday nights in a chokehold. We’d almost religiously refresh YouTube, waiting for their weekly video. But in 2024, it feels different. The Sidemen are no longer a staple of our week, fading from our social media. But what happened and is everyone losing interest? The Rise of The Sidemen To really understand the situation, we have to take a trip down memory lane to the early 2010s.
Star Wars: Why Gen Z no Longer Cares About It
Do you even think about Star Wars anymore? Be honest. Your answer is probably no. The once-dominant franchise is losing its grip on our generation. If you told someone 30, 20 or even 10 years ago, that Star Wars was dying, they’d laugh at you (for a long time). But here we are in 2024 and most of us couldn’t care less about the former pop culture phenomenon. But why?
Why Manchester United and Real Madrid have an Unbreakable Bond
We all know about the tragedy of the Munich Air Disaster. The difficulties Manchester United faced after this and their European glory just 10 years later. But how did the club recover after such disarray and emotional ruin? Geoff Bent, Roger Byrne, Eddie Colman, Duncan Edwards, Mark Jones, David Pegg, Tommy Taylor and Liam Whelan, all lost their lives in the crash. And this was just the players. 23 people died. The club was in turmoil.
Can Ncuti Gatwa Give Doctor Who The Regeneration it Needs?
Nothing beat that Saturday night thrill, wrapped up in a blanket watching Doctor Who as a kid. The fear factor. The gripping stories. But several years on and we’ve seemingly left Doctor Who behind. That urgent need to sit down and watch the show is gone. Jodie Whittakers 13th Doctor was unpopular, with a weak supporting cast and poorly written stories. As a result, the BBC played their joker card.
Why football is losing its identity
2014 The beautiful game… Football, a game which captivates the hearts of hundreds of millions around the world. A sport where misery can change to magic within just a split second. ‘It’s just a game,’ your mother may shout, but it’s not that, it’s more than that. It’s alive within us, like a bacteria, it spreads and grows, till we let our weekends be defined by 22 men, simply kicking a ball around. You cheer, you shout, you cry, but some don’t understand why you care so much.
Why the Glazer’s will have to sell Manchester United
Since the Glazer families purchase of Manchester United in 2005, hostility has emerged and grown around the American’s ownership of the club and their genuine intentions behind their use of the iconic football team. However, the Glazer family are somewhat used to the negative opinion fans have on their ownership of United. From the initial buyout 18 years ago, fans were vocal about their negative view on the new buyers.
Pep Or Sir Alex: Who Is The Best Football Manager Of All Time?
Although the origins of the creation of football are one to be debated, what is known is that many legendary managers have come and gone. From the likes of Sir Matt Busby to Johan Cruyff, football has been nurtured and moulded by the great managers of the game. A phenomenal set of players won’t make a remarkable team, only a manager can do that.
How one player can save Manchester United £100m in 2023
Now I can imagine you are reading this thinking, what on earth is this article going to be about. You may think it’s about the potential of a new signing, or an obscure wonderkid from South America. From this, I can tell you, it’s neither of those things. There’s only one man who save United £100m, and he’s already at the club, his name’s Kobbie Mainoo.
Should Mason Greenwood be reintegrated or removed at Man United?
In January 2022, Manchester United striker Mason Greenwood was arrested after allegations emerged online from his former girlfriend. Subsequently, he was suspended by the club whilst the case was on-going. Consequently, in October, Greenwood was charged with attempted rape and assault. However, on the 2nd February 2023, the 21 year old had his attempted rape charges dropped.
