WHY MANCHESTER UNITED BLOCKED JOSHUA ZIRKZEE’S MOVE TO ROMA THIS WINTER
Massara reveals the truth on Raspadori and Joshua Zirkzee negotiations. Plus, injury news and Gasperini's frustration at Roma.
Roma’s sporting director, Ricky Massara, says the club should know more about Giacomo Raspadori’s situation by Sunday, while talks about Joshua Zirkzee with Manchester United are completely off the table.
Gian Piero Gasperini stirred things up after the 2-0 win at Lecce this week when he skipped the post-match interviews. People saw it as his way of protesting the club’s slow pace in the January transfer market. So, is there any real movement when it comes to landing Atletico Madrid striker Raspadori?
“We’re negotiating for Raspadori, and honestly, things are moving toward a conclusion—one way or another. We’ll probably have a much clearer picture by tomorrow,” Massara told DAZN Italia.
Gasperini also said having the Friedkin family in Rome mattered more to him than the team’s points so far this season. Does that mean he and the owners are on the same page?
“It’s always great when the owners are here in Rome, but we feel their support all the time anyway. We all want the same thing: to help the team and the club keep growing. So yes, we’re all pulling in the same direction.
“There’s always a lot of back-and-forth—part of the job when you’re trying to build the best team possible.”
Lately, there’s been talk about Roma having an eye on Marseille’s teenage striker Robinio Vaz.
“He’s a fantastic talent, but honestly, that transfer looks almost impossible right now. Marseille probably won’t even consider selling him, and if they do, lots of clubs will be interested,” Massara said.
As for Zirkzee, Massara made it clear that Roma can forget about signing the Manchester United forward, especially after Ruben Amorim’s recent exit.
“Manchester United has shut down any transfer talks at the moment. With the coaching change, they’re not moving anyone. So, I really don’t see them changing their mind.”
Tonight, Evan Ferguson starts against Sassuolo, but nobody’s sure where he’ll be playing in the future.
“He’s here, he’s helping, and he’s getting better all the time. He’s young and coming from another league, but the progress is clear. We’re glad he’s out there tonight. We hope he stays for the rest of the season, but let’s see how things go.”
Wesley’s out with the flu and only makes the bench. Artem Dovbyk, Lorenzo Pellegrini, Leon Bailey, and Pierluigi Gollini are all injured. Neil El Aynaoui and Evan Ndicka are away at the Africa Cup of Nations.
The good news? Gianluca Mancini and Mario Hermoso are back from suspension, but now Bryan Cristante is serving a ban.
WORLD CUP BOUND? THOMAS TUCHEL CONFIRMS KOBBIE MAINOO IS "BACK IN THE PICTURE" NOW
Gary Neville blasts Ruben Amorim for "killing" Kobbie Mainoo's confidence. Discover how Michael Carrick revitalised the United star.
Gary Neville didn’t hold back about Ruben Amorim’s decision to keep Kobbie Mainoo on the sidelines. He called it the worst move Amorim made as Manchester United manager. Mainoo, just 20, didn’t start a single Premier League match before United sacked Amorim on January 5. Then Michael Carrick took over. Suddenly, Mainoo became a fixture in the lineup, and United rattled off four straight wins. The kid’s form has been so good; he’s now pushing for a late spot in England’s World Cup squad this summer.
Back when Amorim was running things, Mainoo thought he’d have to leave just to get the game time he needed for England manager Thomas Tuchel to notice him. That’s exactly why Neville thinks Amorim’s refusal to give Mainoo a chance helped lead to his downfall.
“Kobbie Mainoo didn’t even get a chance under Ruben, really,” Neville said on Stick to Football. “If you look at Mainoo now, in this team, it’s just obvious that was Ruben Amorim’s worst decision.”
After Amorim lost his job, Neville went even further. He said Amorim “killed” Mainoo’s development. “Honestly, I never liked how Mainoo was handled,” Neville said. “We’ve talked about it a lot on this show. When Amorim said at the start of the season that it was either him or Bruno Fernandes, I didn’t agree. It killed Mainoo’s confidence, and then he barely played just that one cup game against Grimsby.”
Now, with Amorim gone, Mainoo has a shot to keep proving people wrong, starting with United’s trip to Everton next Monday. Another strong game, and he’d make a real case for Tuchel to call him up for England’s friendlies in March.
Tuchel himself just said Mainoo is “back in the picture” for England, along with United teammates Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw. Speaking at the Nations League draw on Thursday, Tuchel called Mainoo “a huge talent". He added, “He’s already played a tournament for England from start to finish. So he’s back, and so are Luke and Harry. Suddenly, there are a few players back in the mix. United are playing with a back four and a different style now, which fits better with what we’re doing. That’s real competition.”
RED TO BLUE? WHY MANCHESTER UNITED ARE PLOTTING A SHOCK ALEXIS MAC ALLISTER RAID
Manchester United are targeting Alexis Mac Allister! Get the latest on Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s shock raid on rivals Liverpool today.
Manchester United are actually considering a move for Alexis Mac Allister, a star currently playing for their old rivals, Liverpool. Right now, United’s putting together a shortlist of midfielders they want to go after in the summer, and Mac Allister’s name keeps popping up. The people in charge at Old Trafford are watching his situation closely.
There’s a lot of talk about Mac Allister possibly leaving Liverpool when the season ends. He’s still under contract at Anfield until 2028, but his season hasn’t gone smoothly. He’s struggled to hit top form, and, honestly, you can tell it’s been a tough year for him.
Getting Mac Allister out of Liverpool would be a massive challenge for United. Sure, a few players have worn both shirts – Michael Owen and Paul Ince come to mind – but it’s rare. Nobody’s moved directly between the two clubs since Phil Chisnall did it back in 1964. That kind of transfer just doesn’t happen.
No one knows yet if Mac Allister even wants to leave Liverpool. He has said he’d like to play in Spain one day, so that’s something to think about. United also realises that, unless they make the Champions League, signing a player of his calibre just isn’t realistic.
Still, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, United’s co-owner, wants to explore every option. If Mac Allister becomes available, United would be interested, no question.
Mac Allister only joined Liverpool from Brighton last summer for £55 million, then helped them win the Premier League. Before that, he played a huge part in Argentina’s World Cup win over France in 2022. No wonder he’s seen as one of the best midfielders in the world.
United’s not just looking at him, though. They’re also keeping an eye on Adam Wharton, Carlos Baleba, and Elliot Anderson as they try to shake up their midfield for next season.
