Man Utd news LIVE: Latest updates from Old Trafford


Good morning Man Utd fans

Manchester United stars Luke Shaw and Harry Maguire are primed for England duty in tonight’s friendly against Ivory Coast.

Both defenders took part in training for the Three Lions yesterday and look ready for the friendly clash at Wembley.

Maguire was an unused sub in Saturday’s 2-1 clash with Switzerland but Shaw started and scored the equaliser as England came from behind to win 2-1.

They might return to Old Trafford to find their Red Devils team-mate Bruno Fernandez has agreed a new deal.

United news outlet @UtdPlug says “it will be announced in the coming days”.

Portugal playmaker Fernandez, 27, has been a key man for the Red Devils since joining from Sporting Lisbon in 2020.

Meanwhile, United’s understudy keeper Dean Henderson admits loan spells at lower league clubs have been vital to his development.

The 25-year-old star joined United’s Academy as a 14-year-old and has had temporary spells at Stockport, Grimsby, Shrewsbury Town and Sheffield United.

He told Manchester United’s website: “If I didn’t [go out on loan], I’d probably be in League One now, just going out on my first loan.

“I fought for it and I stand by it, the best decision of my life.”

And there is likely to have been some nostalgia stirred among the club’s fans after they saw a United game with Rooney and Ronaldo on the scoresheet on Sunday.

Cristiano Ronaldo Jr and Kai Ronney both scored for their Under-12s against West Brom.

They are the sons of Red Devils legends and former United team-mates Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney.
