Time is running out for clubs to do business in the transfer window. "We at Ajax are always trying to strive for the top," added Ten Hag. "For sure, we hope he will be the next star of Ajax." He has won two Eredivisie titles, and a gold medal in the 2020 Summer Olympics. "Playing under Erik ten Hag at Ajax was perfect for me and my development. "Absolutely, he could be fined.

Manchester United have made the forward Antony and goalkeeper Martin Dubravka their fifth and sixth signings of the summer.

United’s football director, John Murtough, said: “Antony is one of the most exciting young talents in European football and has exactly the right profile for the attacking, dynamic team Erik is building. His style of football and coaching brings out the best in me, and I am excited by what he has told me about his plans and ambitions in Manchester. He is expected to be in the squad for Sunday’s game at home to Arsenal.

I have the same personality, he knows me well and knows what I'm like. The way he competes, the way he plays he gives his heart and soul on the pitch. "We never played together because of the age difference but to be sharing a dressing room and pitch and playing alongside him now is really something special. "I'm really happy that we've both come from the same place, the Sao Paulo youth set-up and, today, we're playing together at this great club. I love it and it motivates me to see him play. "I gave Fred a hug this morning and was in constant contact with Casemiro over the phone.

His fee is a record for an Eredivisie player, surpassing the 86 million euros of Frenkie de Jong’s move from Ajax to Barcelona three years ago. “This is an incredible moment in my career to be joining one of the most iconic clubs in the world,” Antony said in a statement on Manchester United’s website. LONDON, United Kingdom, Sep 1 – Manchester United completed the signing of Antony from Ajax on Thursday for a fee reported to be £82 million ($94 million), making him the fourth most expensive signing in Premier League history.

Man United play Leicester on Thursday and Erik ten Hag spoke ahead of kick-off to explain his team selection for the match.

We have to go from game to game and keep going." "We have many games, so we will rotate. It doesn't say nothing for the future, we will bring players in.

Wilfred Ndidi believes a Leicester City win over Manchester United in the Premier League will boost their confidence.

"It was a difficult time; I just tried to keep my head down, be positive and work myself back into playing - and here we are. The first win would be a massive win because we’re hungry for it. Leicester City have not lost any of their last five matches against Manchester United, winning three of those, and the Nigeria international is optimistic the fans can cheer them to another positive outing.

It's turning out to be quite a busy deadline day for Manchester United, with the club already confirming the arrival of Brazilian winger Antony.

With just one year remaining on his contract at United, it definitely feels like this is the right time to sell Chong. The Midlands club are currently sitting in the relegation zone in the Championship, with only four points separating them from bottom side Coventry. Martin Dubravka, the Newcastle goalkeeper, is also expected to join.

Brazil winger Antony has signed a contract at Manchester United until 2027, with the option of an additional year, following his switch from the Eredivisie.

Members of the media are always going to try knock our signings. “Playing under Erik ten Hag at Ajax was perfect for me and my development. I’m thankful to everyone who has believed in me, especially my family, and all my coaches and team-mates, because I could not have got here without them.

KING POWER STADIUM, LEICESTER — Although transfer deadline day is dominating the headlines, there is some football to be played tonight, too, as Leicester ...

20 mins to KO: The Red Devils are searching for a first win in six over Leicester. United strike as Rashford plays a nice short ball behind Leicester's last man and into the path of Sancho, who gets beyond Danny Ward and slots in coolly. 30th min: United are quite happy to keep possession now, with the scoreline giving Christian Eriksen a chance to start purring from his deep midfield position. Fernandes then plays in his compatriot for a third chance, but Ronaldo goes too wide and there are no teammates to meet his ball across the box. Ronaldo is of course up top, with Rashford moving to the left. HALF-TIME: Boos from a smattering of home fans as the players head down the tunnel. Moments later, the Brazilian made an interception in a dangerous area and then immediately played a great cross-field ball to Fernandes on the right flank. But that in itself will satisfy the Dutchman, who rode the rockiest of waves to start his United career, and has now enjoyed a memorable win over Liverpool to stem the tide and some plain sailing with back-to-back away victories. Ronaldo was surprisingly strong from the bench, too, crafting several opportunities to extend the lead, and being lively across the frontline. The Red Devils held on to end a run of five games against Leicester without a win, and ensure spirits are high ahead of Sunday’s huge home clash with league leaders Arsenal. United took their foot off the gas and controlled proceedings with comfort, as Leicester struggled to make any inroads. The former Borussia Dortmund star had began the game well, interchanging with Bruno Fernandes and each of United’s attacks seeming to flow through him.

A second 1-0 win on the road in the space of five days elevated Manchester United to fifth in the Premier League table, after five games.

It’s now three wins in a row in the league for the Reds: the first time since December 2021 that’s happened and the first time in a year that we’ve managed back-to-back top-flight away victories. After a soporific first 45 minutes in the home terraces, that one certainly helped perk up Foxes fans and the home side then grew into the game. Our no.14 is a constant option in possession and a career playing as a no.10 means he has the ability to receive the ball on the half-turn and pick out a wide range of passes. The Leicester no.9 may be 35 years old now, but he can still cause problems with his pace and had scored in this fixture four times previously. An early contender for our next Goal of the Month prize? Unfortunately, they weren’t registered in time to face the Foxes but shortly after kick-off they shared posts on social media watching BT Sport’s coverage of the game from home.

Manchester United beat Leicester 1-0 to move them up to fifth in the Premier League.

It was the first time Manchester United have won three consecutive games in the division since December 2021, which points to the improvement made under their new manager. Jadon Sancho's strike secured a third straight win for the Red Devils as Erik ten Hag's revolution continues to gather pace. The England international rounded Danny Ward in the first half to leave Leicester rock bottom and move Manchester United up to fifth ahead of Sunday's meeting with leaders Arsenal.

Great play between Diogo Dalot, Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford resulted in the ball being threaded through to Sancho and the England international rounded ...

Maddison's curling 25-yard free-kick was tipped away by De Gea to prevent it from nestling in the top corner. Despite a relatively even opening 10 minutes, it was United who quickly put our stamp on the game. Our forward line continued to pick up great positions between the lines and Rashford played in Sancho once again but his effort was well blocked by James Justin, while Harvey Barnes whipped a shot just over the bar. A couple of touches between Dalot, Fernandes and Rashford were all that was required for Sancho to find himself in space and slot home with complete composure, for his second goal of the season. It was a confident and self-assured first-half from the Reds, but Leicester quickly grew into the game, rousing their home fans. David De Gea saved well from James Maddison's free-kick after the break, but United had the better opportunities to double our lead and were comfortable in closing out the win, which takes us up to fifth in the top-flight table.

Jadon Sancho lifted Man United past Leicester City and the Red Devils look more confident than they have in a while. But attacking concerns persist.

Once we have Cristiano Ronaldo and Casemiro getting fitter it will get better still -- we need not only a team we need a squad." Manager United manager Erik Ten Hag on the win: "It is another step forward so I am happy with that. Replacing him will be impossible, but Leicester need to find a younger striker with the ability to score as regularly as Vardy used to.

Here is ESPN's Mark Ogden with reaction and analysis:

Manchester United can confirm that Tahith Chong will leave the club after a permanent transfer was agreed with Birmingham City, subject to registration.

The 22-year-old now heads back to St. We’d like to take this opportunity to thank Tahith for everything he’s achieved at United and wish him the best of luck in his future career. Chong gained valuable first-team experience on loan at Werder Bremen and then Club Brugge during 2020/21.

Jadon Sancho scored Manchester United's only goal of the game on Thursday night, and it was enough to beat Leicester City and secure all three points in the ...

“I think he had a quite good pre-season,” Ten Hag told reporters at his post-match press conference. “We knew Leicester would come out fighting in the second half, and as you could see, they had a few chances towards the end. Hopefully, I can score next time.”

It's the first time that they won back-to-back away games in nearly a year. Don't have to be the finished product but we need to know what it looks like." It's the third game in a row in which Ronaldo, 37, has come off the bench. Eriksen just goes from strength to strength, so, everything's really good for Manchester United,' the former Stoke City defended added. We've seen the left back position as well, Malacia. 'That's probably a reason why we haven't seen Ronaldo playing, and that's no disrespect to Ronaldo.

Wilfred Ndidi excelled in his defensive role although Leicester City's lost to Manchester United in Thursday's Premier League outing.

Argentinian centre-back Lisandro Martinez has been named Manchester United's Player of the Month for August 2022.

It is also the first time a new signing has picked up the award in their initial month with the club since former Reds winger Daniel James back in August 2019 - a testament to Lisandro's instant impact following his transfer from Ajax. Martinez becomes the first defender to win United's monthly award since Luke Shaw received it twice in a row, in February and March 2021. Lisandro Martinez has picked up Manchester United's Player of the Month award at the first attempt following his standout performances against Liverpool and Southampton in August.

The Dutch winger leaves Man Utd six years after joining the academy set-up.

I am very excited to get going. It's great to be back." I feel ready to go. Especially after last season, I have always felt Birmingham City had been my second home. The winger was selected for Chong played 20 times for Birmingham while on loan at St Andrew's last season, scoring twice and assisting four times.

Ronaldo was benched for a third consecutive game but some Man Utd fans do not want this run to extend.

Three wins in a row and our goal difference is still in deficit. Leicester came on stronger in the second half but a sturdy defensive effort saw the club record a second straight clean sheet. But while fans are pleased with the points on the board, they are apprehensive ahead of Arsenal’s visit to Old Trafford. It’s quite a turnaround since the abysmal first two games of the season, in which they conceded six and scored once, which was an own goal. Marcus Rashford - who assisted Sancho - was given the nod up top again with Anthony Martial injured. @hilda_adaora: You cannot have Ronaldo on the bench and play Rashford/Elanga.

That’d be a pretty good result for the Gunners. Mikel Arteta may also be hamstrung by several big injuries and while the likes of Lokonga stepped up against Villa in the week, Sunday’s contest will be a much more challenging proposition.
