Luke Shaw has revealed his Euro 2024 injury nightmare started after rushing back from injury to help save Manchester United’s season when Erik ten Hag asked him to play before he was ready to return.

Shaw, 28, is Gareth Southgate’s only regular left-back in the squad flying to Germany on Monday but is not yet in full training after his hamstring injury and setbacks over the last four months, meaning he is set to miss the tournament opener against Serbia in Gelsenkirchen on Sunday.

Go back less than a year and Cole Palmer seemed destined for a loan. Instead, he is now heading for Euro 2024, perhaps the breakout star of the club season with a first international goal to his name as well. As Burnley and Brighton, two of the clubs who wanted to borrow him last summer, may reflect, much has changed since then. Chelsea’s player of the season, a man Manchester City may rue selling, has 28 goals, in the shirts of two clubs and now his country.

the Manchester United footballing leadership has completely changed since Ineos’ arrival, with Jason Wilcox in place and Omar Berrada on his way.

Change is also happening on the pitch, with Anthony Martial and Raphael Varane departing the club this summer for free as their contracts come to an end.

Roberto De Zerbi has been sounded out as a potential replacement for Erik ten Hag as Manchester United manager.

De Zerbi’s attractive possession-based style of play and the 44-year-old’s feat of qualifying Brighton for European football last year for the first time in the club’s history have impressed Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who controls football operations at United having purchased a 27.7% stake in the club last year.

It is understood that De Zerbi has been contacted by United with regard to succeeding Ten Hag who, as reported by the Guardian, is likely to be sacked. The Italian left Brighton by mutual consent at the end of the recent season.

In business, Ratcliffe has not become a multi-billionaire by shirking tough decisions. He once earned the moniker of “Dr No” among union chiefs at Grangemouth oil refinery through his obstinate refusal to compromise. Little compares, though, to the difficulty of the call he must now make on Ten Hag. Few stock values have ever fluctuated as violently as the Dutchman’s. The United manager entered this match a condemned man and he finished it an apparent tactical genius, with his players all imploring him to have his moment with his trophy.

Manchester United ended a frustrating season on a brilliant note as they stunned Manchester City to lift the FA Cup with a 2-1 win at Wembley.

Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo put United in control at the break, and while Jeremy Doku pulled one back late on, Erik ten Hag’s side held on.

Manchester United have decided to sack Erik ten Hag regardless of the outcome of this weekend’s FA Cup final against Manchester City.

Dan Ashworth reportedly sent an email to a Newcastle United address and in the process, accidentally revealed that he was engaging in talks with Omar Berrada – the man set to become Manchester United’s next CEO.

Amad Diallo’s rocket and Rasmus Hojlund’s fine finish secured Manchester United and under-fire Erik ten Hag a much-needed win against fellow European hopefuls Newcastle in their final home match of a season to forget.

The injury-ravaged Red Devils have lost 19 in all competitions this term and knew defeat on Wednesday would set unwanted records, as well as end any hope of continental qualification through the Premier League.

Former Manchester United midfielder David Beckham hopes a documentary about the club's Treble-winning campaign in 1998-99 can inspire the Old Trafford side out of their current struggles.
Beckham was part of a United side that won the Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup 25 years ago under Sir Alex Ferguson.
The present team are eighth in the Premier League and have not won the top-flight title since 2013.
United last won the Champions League in 2008 and the FA Cup in 2016, although they did win the Europa League in 2017 and League Cup in 2023.

It is five years since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer first talked about the need for a ruthless cull at Manchester United but supporters are still waiting for one worthy of that description to materialise and, over time, the scale of the overhaul required has only mushroomed.

Too many substandard players have subsequently been added to the ones the club have habitually failed to move on – often at great expense and without total clarity about the areas that need plugging and the type of football they want to play – and the cumulative effect has been deepening mutation of a Frankenstein squad.

What is clear, then, is that the new Old Trafford hierarchy Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his Ineos team are pulling together are not going to fix all of United’s historic problems in a single summer,

Anthony celebrated the elusive opening goal in the 79th minute, it was abundantly clear that he and most of those inside Old Trafford felt that it was the winner as Manchester United hosted Burnley in their Premier League encounter. However, Burnley had a big response even later as Zeki Amdouni grabbed a dramatic equaliser to deny the hosts victory.
