To potential breakthrough star could be set to leave Old Trafford to gain more playing time.

PSV Eindhoven is eager to take Manchester United youngster Tahith Chong on loan in January.

PSV have reportedly launched a bid to sign Tahith Chong from Manchester United on a loan basis over the January transfer window.

The 19-year-old joined United’s academy from Feyenoord in 2016 and has since shot through the ranks, making his senior debut in January. With United’s options in attack wearing thin, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has started Chong in games against Astana and Rochdale in recent weeks.

According to The Sun, the Dutch side are keen to make an approach for Chong once the transfer window reopens in January.

The teenager is likely to be used almost exclusively in Europa League fixtures or domestic cup affairs at Old Trafford this season.

Chong has been championed by Solskjaer as a player being prepared for the future alongside academy graduates Mason Greenwood and Angel Gomes, who have both also received minutes since August.

The youngster plays in attacking midfield and is particularly notable for his hair. He’s featured in three games so far this season but doesn’t look remotely close to become a regular in the team. He will turn 20 in December so this really is a critical point in his career, there comes a point when reserve football isn’t going to develop him any further so he needs to make a move of some sort.

Roy Keane Backs Solskjaer To Overturn Manchester United's Struggles

The draw against Arsenal on Monday marked the worst start by Manchester United in 30 years.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side has collected only 9 points out of the first 7 Premier League games, managing to remain in the middle of the standings at 10th.

The manager has obviously come under fire from the fans and several football pundits. He continues to wade through the rough waters at Old Trafford and keep a strong grip on his job, despite the growing concern regarding his future.

Roy Keane, however, has backed Solskjaer’s attitude and thinks he is the right man to change United’s situation. “I think he has been brilliant, a good honest guy,” the former Red Devils midfielder told Sky Sports. “It is hard work at the moment, but there are six or seven young players learning their way.

“We’re all very impatient, we want success yesterday, but you have to give the man time. He is frustrated, under pressure, but dealing with it. He’s a classy guy but no doubt he will be disappointed at not winning enough games.

“They have given him the job, support him in a couple of transfer windows. Are there more tough days ahead? You bet your life, but you need to stick with it. There was a lack of quality from both teams tonight. Their lack of goals, the lack of opportunities they’re creating. Give these boys time.”

“Most Difficult time” Says David de Gea — bildbyran

David De Gea was frustrated to not get the win at Old Trafford on Monday night.

Manchester United faced off against Arsenal in what was a very underwhelming reminder of the greatest rivalry in the Premier League era.

Scott McTominay broke the deadlock through a low driven shot but the Scotsman’s goal was nullified by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who reacted brilliantly to a mistake from the United backline and chipped the ball over De Gea.

“Well, it was a big mistake for us. We gave away an important goal,” De Gea told Sky Sports. “The game was well balanced. They had a few chances, we had chances.

“We had good chances, of course, they had too but the better ones I think were for us. It is time to look forward and try to win every game. This is Manchester United, so we have to win these games. The lads have to react and play better than they are doing. We are a team but we have to improve. We are looking forward to the next game and we will try to win.”

“We go 1-0 up and then we don’t get the second goal that we want to get,” he continued. “That’s the learning now for this time. Be more cynical, clinical. There are so many games we have been 1-0 up. We will learn. It’s a bad goal to give away but sometimes you make those passes, you play out and it looks good. We learn from it.

“We are at the start of building something. It’s just a bit disappointing that we can’t get that second goal. Effort is never a problem with these boys. They are working hard in training to improve. They were a bit passive at the start. We could have taken more risks going forward.”

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer conveys team news before the crucial Arsenal showdown.

French attacker Anthony Martial has been injured and there were quite a few speculations about his availability. However, United manager has laid those rumors to rest. Anthony Martial won’t be a part of Red Devils squad tonight.

With Marcus Rashford also out due to injury, the home team is short on attackers.

Solskjaer told the United app, “I don’t think we’ll see Anthony before the international break.

Luke Shaw is improving so hopefully we’ll see him.

There might be one or two [back against Arsenal]. Paul [Pogba] was really struggling with his ankle as it was really swollen, so let’s see how that repairs.

He got 90 minutes [against Rochdale] but towards the end [of the game] it was sore again.

Phil [Jones] will be out until after the international break and you have to count these after every game but I think that’s it.”

With Pogba, Rashford and Martial injured, Red Devils look to be in trouble ahead of their match against their archrivals. However, they will be benefitted from Shaw’s return.

Ole has also admitted that his team attack lacks some elements.

Solskjaer said, “We need to score more, definitely. We’re working on improving the relationships, the patterns, the understanding.

”I think that we’ve done great defensively, but of course we’re not happy with the return going forward.”

Bayern Munich winger Ivan Perisic said that he was very close to signing for Manchester United. He was a top target for the club during Mourinho’s time in charge but now hopes to earn a long-term deal at Bayern Munich. Perisic says he was ‘very close’ to signing for Manchester United.

The Croatian winger joined Bayern on a season-long loan from Inter and the German side have the option to make the deal permanent at the end of the season. He became a popular name thanks to his performances in Euro 2016. He kept on performing consistently for the club as well as the national team, while helping Croatia reach the World Cup final last summer.

But Perisic says he wanted to move to Manchester United when he spoke to coach Jose Mourinho on the phone. Perisic says he was ‘very close’ to signing for Manchester United.

Speaking to the Athletic, Perisic said:

“How close was I going there? Very close. It was an amazing thing for me when Jose called me. It was difficult to say no to him. In fact, I really, really wanted to join him and play for United.

“It was a dream of mine to play in all the big leagues. But it didn’t happen. It was painful for me. But I don’t want to go into the details. I only found out myself the real reasons two years later.”

Although he knows he was not the Bayern’s first choice, he is confident he can keep impressing and earn a long-term deal with the Bundesliga giants.

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed that the club will be looking to sign a striker this summer. The Red Devils shipped off Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez to Inter Milan in August – a move that has aggravated problems related to their squad depth.

“Of course, when we let Alexis (Sanchez) and (Romelu) Lukaku go, you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to know it’s a forward we’re going to try to recruit next time,” Solskjaer said.

“It was time for Romelu Lukaku to go, though – he knows that, he didn’t want to be here, and what’s the point in having players who don’t want to be here?”

“We’re looking for some creativity and goals, but they (potential signings) have to be the right one.”

“There were strikers available but not the ones we wanted. We couldn’t get the one we wanted (in the summer).”

“There’s no point getting players in that you are not 100% sure about either.”

“When you get players in, you need the right ones that are going to stay here for a long period of time and that’s the long-term thinking we have to show.”

Manchester United are currently gearing up to face Arsenal today.

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has predicted the result ahead of his side’s clash with Arsenal on Monday night. The Red Devils have endured a lackadaisical start to the campaign, having only won two of their first six outings.

Solskjaer has said that he expects it to be an open game since both sides will look to attack each other.

“The next game, if you win it, is the perfect game, whatever opponent you meet,” Solskjaer said.

“For us, the games against Arsenal have always been great for the spectators, and for us. We’ve got a good record against them.”

“For us it’s about focusing on ourselves, doing our bit, and seeing if we can solve the problems they give us.”

“I think it will be an open game, two teams that want to attack, and the next game is always the perfect occasion to prove yourselves. Every game here is a game you want to win, and have to win.”

“We are looking forward to it. I’ve watched Unai Emery over many years, and system-wise he can come with any shape, he knows it all.”

Manchester United Lining Up Big Name Signings For January

Manchester United are preparing themselves for a busy January transfer window after a disappointing start to the 2019/20 season.

The Red Devils are struggling to find the back of the net and it has become quite apparent, reinforcements are necessary.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer strengthened his defensive line with Harry Maguire and Aaron Wan-Bissaka in the summer but now, he needs to focus on adding more creativity and flair into this team.

United are reportedly monitoring Moussa Dembele of Olympique Lyon who finished last season with 23 goals in 52 appearances across all competitions. He has started off the 2019/20 campaign in blinding form, grabbing 6 goals in 7 games, so far.

Jadon Sancho and James Maddison are also high priority targets for Solskjaer. Sancho has been excelling in the Bundesliga after leaving Manchester City for the more youth-friendly Borussia Dortmund.

Maddison has attracted a lot of praise for his level of impact for Leicester City after being introduced into the Premier League a little over a year ago. United are genuinely weak in the midfield ranks and could use playmakers like Sancho and Maddison to boost up their scoring threat.

However, both players are enjoying rewarding spells in their current settings. Sancho is playing Champions League football with BVB and Leicester could make their way into the Premier League top four if they continue with their recent form.

Manchester United told they were wrong to sack Jose Mourinho

Former Chelsea, Liverpool and England player Joe Cole has said that Manchester United made a mistake in sacking Jose Mourinho. The Special One was fired from the role following an abysmal run of results in December last season.

Speaking on the subject, Cole said,
“One thing with Jose that we all know is that he’s a winner and what he will tell you that if things are not right, he will address it,” he told BT Sport.

“His issue at the club when the signings weren’t quite right, he brought that into the light. That Mourinho, Pogba, Ed Woodward, that signing sort of summed up the club. You had fans pulling in one direction, the manager trying to say ‘we want these players’ and Woodward saying ‘we can’t get these for whatever reason’.”

“Jose is not one who will sit there quietly being a good boy, thinking ‘I’m happy to be Manchester United manager’, he knows that his reputation was at stake and he was telling people that it wasn’t right, he wants a centre-half.”

“For me, it was glaring that things behind the scenes were wrong and I think getting rid of Jose at the time they did was the wrong call for the club, that wasn’t where the problem is.”

“As a financial man, commercial deals, getting deals done, his contacts, Woodward is second to none and he’s running a successful business but for Manchester United fans, who are used to massive success, used to a well-run club, at the moment it’s all over the gaffe.”

Manchester United face a tough test as they face Arsenal in the Premier League this weekend.

Former Manchester United striker Andy Cole has expressed his fears about the overuse of Mason Greenwood at his ex-club. The 17-year-old has been the shining positive in an otherwise abysmal start for the Red Devils this season.

Greenwood made it to the scoresheet in games against Astana and Rochdale in the Europa League and Carabao Cup respectively. And, Vole thinks using him more of often than not could hurt his chances of becoming a good player in the long term.

“He’s got a chance, he has got a chance,” Cole said on BBC Radio 5 Live when asked if Greenwood has the quality to succeed long-term at the Theatre of Dreams. “His finishing is a joke. Left or right foot, he’s got quality in abundance.

“I just hope they don’t – which Manchester United won’t do anyway – that they don’t put too much undue pressure on him. He’s got great ability. They (Man Utd) are looking at it and saying ‘We’ve got Mason, we’re going to give Marcus [Rashford] the opportunity to play centre-forward.”

“The disappointing thing is he’s going to have to get thrown into the deep end a little bit earlier than they would have liked. [That’s] due to injuries and due to them being prepared to allow [Romelu] Lukaku and [Alexis] Sanchez go.”

“Ideally it would have been nice if they bought themselves another centre-forward.”

Manchester United are currently gearing up to face Arsenal in the Premier League this weekend.
