Fans gathered outside Old Trafford today as the club unveiled
their new manager for the new look Premier Division with
"FOOTBALL NINJA" taking the role.
A lifelong United supporter since 1977 we understand he is
delighted to take on the role and lead the club forward, he has
played football managed Sunday league teams and now massive
class stepup to lead the Red Devils.
The new boss met with the players at the Carrington Training
ground this afternoon and some media were allowed to take photos
and listen in on his plans and where he wants to take United. It
was learned the new boss favours a 3-4-3/3-5-2 system that can
also adapt if matchplay not going his way so will be interested
to see if the current squad can adapt to these tactics, which
players may be surplus and allowed to move on and if any players
will be brought into the 1st team.
Those who know the boss have said he does like to search for
underated and quality young players to develop into world class
stars so could United go back to developing a good youth policy
which the club has not done so for many years?
We did catch the new boss for these words:-
"I am so delighted to be the manager of this proud club that has
been run poorly and we need to establish a pedigree to the likes
of Sir Matt Busby and Sir Alex Ferguson.
This club has been developed in a tradition and I want install a
tradition of my own, and make us hard to play against with good
attractive football and of course winning trophies."

Green light and go, go, go at old Trafford today as a busy
Sunday saw manager "FootballNinja" been chatting with his
players on the training ground and several players were told to
find new clubs.
Fans were stunned with the news that Patrick Dorgu has been
transfer listed with the 21 year old who was seen as a talent by
previous management not required in the new boss's plans and new
look 3-4-3 formation and tactics. Dalot, Maguire, Shaw and
Malacia are als o unwanted players in defense, midfield has been
the stunning move by the boss and could it be his downfall with
Bruno Fernandes transfer listed and the boss wanting a more box
to box controlling midfielder for his double pivot in midfield.
Mason Mount who has been injury prone is also surplus to the
squad and Joshua Zirkzee also told he can leave the club. Does
the manager have big plans?
The club announced new sponsorship deal with Adidas which will
see an upfront fee and bonus fees if the club play 3 x U21s
players in at least 10 games for the 1st team.
Looking at the U21s the boss has named Chida Obi has the captain
for the Under 21s and will lead the them in the U21s League.
The club are also starting working on infrastructre and
expanding facilities to become and world class football club.

The new season kicked off last night with Manchester United
beating Napoli 3-0 at Old Trafford although the home side gave
away far too much possession Napoli did not really threaten
United.
Bryan Mbuemo scoring on 5 minutes for 1-0, VAR denied United a
penalty with shirt pulling in the box from Sesko's corner. Then
on 19 minutes Sesko made it 2-0 Napoli came close hitting the
points several times before Mason Mount scored on 48 minutes for
a 3-0 halftime lead. Into the 2nd half Mbuemo hits the post on
58 mins and United saw out the match.
Manager "[i]FOOTBALLNINJA" was not happy with the way United
gave the ball away but it's early stages so big room for
improvements from the squad.[/i]

Good start to the season for one of the title favourites
Manchester United, a 3-0 opening day win although the
performance was not what the manager wanted with giving away
much possession but clinical in attack.
Cunha, Sesko and Mount scoring the goals and a soldout Old
Trafford cheered the players onto 3pts and onto Wednesday night
when United travel to Germany to play Borussia Dortmund...
United did well in the Player Auction bringing in Antoine
Semenyo, F_Mastantuono, Chris Rigg and Adam Wharton to boost the
strength and quality in the 1st team.
Franco_Mastantuono
The 18 year old winger is seen as a rising wonderkid, had much
of his youth career at River Plate before breaking into the 1st
team in 2024. Then transfered to Real Madrid in 2025 and has 4
caps for Argentina and now joins Manchester United. Watch out
for this player...
Chris Rigg
The 18 year old english attacking midfielder another rising star
also joins Manchester United after previously playing for
Sunderland. He came through the Youth ranks at Sunderland and
broke into the 1st tea,
Adam_Wharton
The 22 year old english central midfielder is highly regarded as
was chased by Inter Milan but chose to sign for Manchester
United. Has previously played for Blackburn Rovers and then
really came through and developed at Crystal Palace has just
started playing for England.
Antoine Semenyo
The 26 year old Ghanian winger joins Manchester United and will
fans take to him after playing for Manchester City? He sent 5
seasons at Bristol City which included several loans spells
before AFC Bournemouth saw his qualities and signed him.
Manchester City snapped him away before he signed for United, a
regular in the Ghana squad.

BREAKING NEWS.....
News coming out of Old Trafford this lunchtime after Bruno
Fernandes met with manager "[i]FOOTBALLNINJA" unhappy at losing
the captincy at Old Trafford and being transfer losted to
leaving the club. Bruno likes being at United and feels he has
proved his worth to the club but were hearing that the manager
does see how Bruno will slot into his formation and tactics..
Bruno has been played on the right in pre season and 1st match
of season, his best position is a roaming no 10 which does not
fit in with the new plans at Old Trafford and the boss wanting
to play a double pivot in his midfield. Bruno would not suit a
double pivot which would then need the boss to play him in
behind a front two more of a 4-3-1-2 formation, but its clear
the boss favours a 3-4-3 or 3-5-2 formation.
Napoli have shown interest and proposed swap deal with Scott
McTominay possibly returning to Old Trafford, Roma have also
proposed a swap deal with midfielder Manu Kone.
West Ham also show interest with proposed swap deal for M
Fernandes, United have also held talks with Atalanta over swap
deal for box to box midfielder Ederson.[/i]
