Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has highlighted what his players must learn after the Red Devils threw away a 2-0 before drawing 2-2 with Aston Villa in ...

“They have to perform and that's what we didn’t do in the second-half. There was a lot of movement, a lot of skills and they can finish.” You have to get out of the dressing-room, back in your plan and your focus and back to your performance. That is a weapon that is really hard to defend against. A season is not always going up, you also have setbacks and have to deal with it. “But I've seen a lot of progress in these two weeks.

ANTONY remains high on Manchester United's transfer shortlist but Ajax will not consider a sale unless their astronomical valuation is met...

The Dutch giants have slapped a £68million price tag on the 22-year-old and remain adamant they will not soften their position on a sale following Lisandro Martinez's £57m move to Old Trafford. “We talk on a daily basis.

Ten Hag coached the American during his first season in charge at Ajax - a campaign which saw the defender secure a move to the Nou Camp. And according to El Nacional, Ten Hag "does not trust" either of his current full-backs on the right flank. New manager Ten Hag is keen to strengthen the right side of his back line due to a current lack of options.

Jadon Sancho was on the scoresheet again for United but Calum Chambers' last-gasp header earned Villa a 2-2 draw.

Fred took possession inside his own half and his clipped ball put Sancho behind Villa’s backline, with the winger crossing for Rashford to get away a strike that went in off Cash in the 42nd minute. Jadon Sancho volleyed home his third goal of the tour at the end of a fine team move to open the scoring in a first half that ended with Marcus Rashford’s strike deflecting in off Matty Cash. United swept play from right to left and Rashford played in the overlapping Shaw, who crossed for Sancho to volley home on the edge of the six-yard box in the 25th minute.

Erik ten Hag has already brought three new players through the door at Old Trafford this summer but he will be keen to add at least one more new face before ...

You have to get out of the dressing-room, back in your plan and your focus and back to your performance. According to Sport, Depay would not be interested in a move to St James' Park and is only eyeing a 'project'. According to Fabrizio Romano, the Red Devils have been offered both Youri Tielemans and Ruben Neves but work is still being done on a move for the Barcelona star. It is understood that Akanji has become surplus to requirements at the Bundesliga club this summer and is therefore not part of their plans for the upcoming season. He’ll add to the team and he’ll be made very welcome in our team.” Frenkie De Jong and Antony remain at the front of their thinking but finalising deals for either is proving to be tricky. “Football is a sport of mistakes and we have to decrease the mistakes,” said ten Hag. We have made it clear to the players, we have had big talks with the players who have a strong desire to leave the club at this moment.” United signed Wan-Bissaka from Crystal Palace in a £50million deal three years ago and it's believed he could return to the London club on a season-long loan. Ten Hag is building his squad for the new Premier League season and it's unclear if Wan-Bissaka, 24, will be part of it. "Until that we can't say much about it, he wanted to come and see it, hopefully we can have some news over the next few days. But boss Erik ten Hag is desperate to get further additions over the line.

Man Utd are reportedly interested in bringing Sergej Milinkovic-Savic to Old Trafford if they fail in their attempts to land Frenkie de Jong.

I think it’s vital if you want to get success, the season is really long but we still also have time to fill that in. “But I also know about this season – we talk about it in Bangkok and Melbourne – it’s a lot of games, the World Cup, so we need more options where you have a good team, and it’s not only about the team, you need a good squad to get the right results at the end of the season. “So we have to strengthen the squad even more and we are looking around but we also need the right players.

Ten Hag has suggested he wants to work with the existing talent at Old Trafford instead of investing heavily, which could see Wan-Bissaka remain part of his plans. That opportunity is pre-season and Wan-Bissaka will need to impress soon if he's to be part of Ten Hag's plans. Ten Hag is building his squad for the new Premier League season and it's unclear if Wan-Bissaka, 24, will be part of it. PSV finished twice behind Ten Hag's Ajax in the Eredivisie during Dumfries' time in Eindhoven.

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has been eager to bring his former Ajax players with him to Old Trafford.

Cristiano Ronaldo faces an uncertain future after the Manchester United striker's attempt to force his way out of Old Trafford failed to spark the expected ...

"I love Cristiano Ronaldo and everyone knows how fantastic he is. Andy Mitten, journalist and editor of the United We Stand fanzine, said: "His arrival was sprung on United at the last minute and the team which had finished third and second had to rip up their tactics and start again. All three of those players struggled last season after Ronaldo's arrival changed the style of a United side that had finished second in the Premier League the season before. Yet, although Ronaldo finished as United's top scorer last season, there is a growing sense in Manchester that his departure could benefit Ten Hag's chances of building a side more suited to the style he created at Ajax. "As highly as I rate Cristiano Ronaldo as one of the greatest, a transfer wouldn't be a fit with our philosophy," he said. But for the first time in his glittering career he is no longer a must-have item for Europe's wealthy elite as Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain all appear to have turned their backs on the forward.

A United insider said: “People have been turning up at the megastore asking where they stand on a potential exchange if Ronaldo does go? Under the terms of their £75m-a-season, ten-year sponsorship deal with shirt maker adidas, they will forfeit £25m if they miss out on the Champions League for a second year straight. Yet that is still only a fraction of what United face missing out on if they fail to make Europe's elite club competition for a second year on the run.

Erik ten Hag had made it clear Manchester United needed to sign a holding midfielder this summer, and the Dutchman could pay the price for their failure to ...

Signing De Jong would have been a statement of intent at least, but with United struggling to get the deal over the line, Ten Hag may need to rely on the likes of Fred and McTominay to share the work. His range of passing can prove the difference between existing in a game and controlling it, and it was evident just how much United needed him after struggling to keep a hold on the game when leading Aston Villa. While he refused to outright name the Barcelona star, the “right player” is widely known to be De Jong, and it appeared United would get their man after agreeing a package with Barcelona worth £56million up front, with a further £20m in add-ons. And what's worse, Martinez is thought to have been signed for a central defensive role — rather than anchoring the midfield. “Football is a sport of mistakes and we have to decrease the mistakes,” he said. The former Ajax coach has made it clear he wants to sign a holding midfielder to complete his three-man midfield, a non-negotiable aspect of his football philosophy.

MANCHESTER UNITED were held to a 2-2 draw by Aston Villa in Australia despite leading 2-0 at half-time...

As a capable footballer and reasonably complete midfield, he needs to showcase his ability to play in a deeper role. Erik ten Hag is hoping to bring the best from Donny van de Beek this season at Manchester United but on the basis of his display against Aston Villa in Perth, the Dutch tactician may have his work cut out. It's still very early days under Ten Hag but it's an all too familiar problem that continues to follow Van de Beek at United. It was a timid display in Perth, full of nervousness but if there was even a man to drive him to new heights, it's Ten Hag, who knows Van de Beek like the back of his hand. Having a player of Van de Beek's technical quality alongside him is seemingly the perfect blend of quality on paper but the Dutchman looks lost in the middle of the park. Ultimately, Van de Beek is an attack-minded central midfielder, who likes to help build attacks in the middle of the field.

The United defender vows to get back to her best after a "remarkable recovery" from a rare condition.

In an exclusive interview with club media, the 26-year-old said: “I’m so happy. I’m just so happy at the moment.”

MANCHESTER UNITED slumped to a second-half comeback in the final game of their pre-season tour against Aston Villa.

United's summer transfer business and Ten Hag's pre-season selections have strongly hinted at the starting line-up against Brighton & Hove Albion in next month's Premier League opener. Alex Telles is up for sale and has blatantly played the role of a placeholder under the Dutchman, featuring as a left-sided centre-back and, against Villa, slotting in as the holding midfielder. Bailey ran United ragged in the second half, smoking Luke Shaw and Victor Lindelof with his pace. Many fans raised concerns about De Gea's suitability to Ten Hag's style upon the Dutchman's arrival. Erik ten Hag seems to have a clear plan for him, and it's so far bearing delicious fruit. Jadon Sancho opened the scoring on 25 minutes before Matty Cash doubled United's lead with an own goal on the brink of half-time.

Donny van de Beek started his first game of pre-season for Man Utd in their 2-2 draw with Aston Villa in Perth.

United's lack of Champions League football has also led to the competition's all-time top scorer Cristiano Ronaldo handing in a transfer request.

The Red Devils hope Ronaldo would be up for a last dance in 2023/24 if they successfully qualify for the Champions League in Erik ten Hag's first season in charge. That, or Europa League glory, would secure a return among Europe's elite and could persuade Ronaldo to accept a final swansong. United are ready to accept Ronaldo's exit for a second time, but they will only happily do so if he agrees to trigger a one-year extension in his contract and return next summer.

That would offer Ronaldo the chance to extend his Champions League love affair with one more season in Europe's elite competition before a final hurrah, possibly in the MLS in America. Ronaldo would then return to Old Trafford next summer to see out a final campaign - with United hopeful they may be in a position to challenge for a Champions League place this season. And in return they want the 37-year-old superstar to trigger a one-year-option clause to EXTEND his contract so he can return to Old Trafford next summer for a final swansong - hopefully in the Champions League.

BBC football reporter Simon Stone answers questions from Manchester United and Aston Villa fans after their 2-2 pre-season draw in Perth, Australia.

But the idea is to have competition for places. And then, is it a team De Gea wants to play for? In some ways, I admire United's stance on De Jong - but it is a gamble to an extent. There is an element of truth to that but in the modern game, results matter - and a reliance on experience comes from that. That might mean United were open to letting him go and I could see why a move might appeal. Would you agree there is a different feel to Manchester United this summer from the top down? It is unrealistic to expect United to challenge Manchester City and Liverpool this season. But the continued talk of him wanting to play in the Champions League suggests the exact opposite. And if they do, will it encourage Carney Chukwuemeka to sign if he can see a clear pathway to first-team football - or has that ship sailed? But he is inconsistent and needs to stay fit. But that is what he is - a player of promise. The big question is how far the owners are prepared to go.
