Manchester United started out the 2022/23 Premier League on the wrong foot. However, after the holiday break in January, they came back stronger than ever. While they began the tournament ranked 6th and 7th, they finished it in a respectable 3rd place, behind only Arsenal (2nd) and Manchester City (1st). While the Red Devils’ fans are disappointed that they didn’t get first place, they are thrilled that one of England’s best clubs is back on track. Excitement and expectation for the next season is certainly at an all-time high.
Rumours of a New Goalie
As one of the most successful clubs that England has seen, a lot of rumours, predictions, and news circulate Manchester United. For example, there are rumours that the Red Devils will be taking on a new goalie. How true these rumours are we can’t say. After all, David De Gea has performed rather admirably in 2023, securing the Premier League Golden Glove. However, his contract is coming to a close in 2023.

Phoebe Graham Returns to Manchester Originals
The Manchester Originals are another sports franchise based in Manchester. The cricket club represents its county in The Hundred competition, which was first founded in 2021. Games tend to be played in Old Trafford, and, as the name suggests, they are in the 100-ball cricket format.
The Manchester Originals have been doing great thus far, attaining second place in the Men’s 2022 competition, and 5th in the Women’s 2021 tournament. However, with Phoebe Graham’s return to the team, The Originals already started their campaign for 2023. And it seems like they are going straight for the jugular.
Manchester United Transfer News
Now that we’ve taken the brief detour into cricket, we must return to football. Manchester United have already confirmed two transfers out of the team. One is Ethan Galbraith. The young midfielder just recently announced his departure from Manchester United. Despite his ties to Manchester United, Ethan never actually played for the club, as he has been loaned out during both of his seasons with the club, once to the Doncaster Rovers and then to Salford City.
Phil Jones has also been released from his contract with the Red Devils. According to rumours and sources, Jones’ contract with United expires this summer. And it appears that the club will not be resigning the central defender. Phil Jones has had quite a successful career with Man Utd., having scored six goals, despite his position. He has appeared in 229 games with the Red Devils.
So far, there are no other confirmations regarding transfers. Anyone interested in more news regarding Premier League clubs and players, all transfers you can see here. Preparations for the next Premier League are already underway, and many clubs are doing their best to build a formidable team.
A 500 Million Trade
Apart from the two confirmed transfers, rumours are circulating in regards to Manchester United’s attempt to sign Barcelona’s dynamic duo, Frenkie de Jong and Ronald Araujo. De Jong is a versatile midfielder, who plays for the Dutch national team, while Araujo is quite a celebrated centre-back, who has had quite a bit of success playing for Uruguay.
If the rumours are to be believed, the Red Devils are offering upwards of 500 million Euros, an absurdly high amount to be sure. Fans of United are divided regarding these rumours. Some believe that the two players are worth every penny. Others maintain that 500 million is way too high a price, no matter how good the players are.
Of course, it is worth noting that these are still just rumours. No confirmation has been given regarding the amount Manchester United is offering, or whether they are offering anything in the first place. Regardless, fans are already giving their opinion on the subject all over social media.
Final Thoughts
Manchester United has had a couple of bad seasons in the past few years. While they usually manage to end the season on a high note, they tend to start off on the wrong foot. It seems that they are doing all that they can in order to start off this following season right. If it all works out, we may see the Red Devils win the Premier League in 2024.
