LIVE 2025: FINAL 2025 UPDATE ON MAN UTD’S PURSUIT OF AZ ALKMAAR STAR KEES SMIT
Man Utd target Kees Smit and Manu Kone for a 2026 midfield overhaul. Discover why the Jude Bellingham rumours were laughed off.
Man United's got their eyes on a top midfield prospect, but they'll have to fight off other teams to get him. Word is, they've already got a deal lined up for a Serie A player.
The Red Devils are likely to focus a lot on the midfield in 2026, especially since there might be some players leaving.
Because of that, Man Utd might jump into the market in January if any of their main targets become available, whether they're playing in England or somewhere else.
Man Utd Wants Dutch Star
On the midfield front, United is supposedly really interested in Kees Smit from AZ Alkmaar. But if they try to get the 19-year-old, they'll face some tough competition.
Smit's been playing great for AZ this season, with a couple of goals and five assists in 27 games.
There are a ton of rumours about where he might end up, with Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Liverpool all said to be after him.
But, according to The Athletic, Man Utd is also in the mix, even though AZ doesn't want to sell him in the middle of the season. Still, he could leave at the end of the season if someone offers around £52m (€59.6m / $70m).
Smit came up through AZ's youth system and has played 58 games for them, scoring four goals and getting seven assists.
He's also played four times for the Netherlands Under-21 team and is trying to get his first senior cap.
Smit also fits what Man United is looking for in new players—young, talented guys.
€65m Midfielder 'Coming to Man Utd'
Man United might switch gears and go after Roma's Manu Kone to add a new midfielder. A new report backs up what an Italian journalist said before.
Apparently, Kone's name came up when United was talking about selling Joshua Zirkzee to Roma.
Reporter Francesca Teodori said that she's been told by several people that Kone will leave Roma in June and sign with Man United.
She isn't sure if it has something to do with the Zirkzee deal. He might have been added as a counterpart.
Regardless, Kone really wants that to happen—joining United in June.”
CaughtOffside added even more, with United holding interest in the Frenchman, who is valued at around €60-65 million. He could be a perfect fit, being pursued as an alternative to the likes of Conor Gallagher, Ruben Neves, Elliot Anderson, and Carlos Baleba.
No Way Bellingham Is Leaving for Man Utd
People at Real Madrid are laughing off the idea that Jude Bellingham might leave. Some reports in Spain said Man Utd was ready to spend crazy money to sign him.
Around Christmas, there were wild rumours that the Red Devils were going to make a huge offer of €200m (£174m, $235m) to bring Bellingham to Old Trafford.
However, after talking to people at Real and those close to the player, they said those reports were totally false and laughed them off.
Someone confirmed that Bellingham will not be leaving Real Madrid anytime soon.
He is happy at the club; the club is happy with him. Frankly, it is laughable for anyone to suggest that he could be leaving in 2026.”
Also, Conor Gallagher is set to move away from the club after speaking with Diego Simeone, and Man Utd is one of three teams in the Premier League interested.
Man Utd might get an offer to sell Manuel Ugarte, with Fabrizio Romano saying his replacement could cost around £100m.
Meanwhile, Jadon Sancho has been told he won't play for United again, even though he's getting some praise while on loan at Aston Villa.
EX-CAPTAIN NEVILLE CLAIMS SUBSTITUTIONS MADE MANCHESTER UNITED "WORSE" AGAINST WOLVES
Gary Neville slams Ruben Amorim’s "weird" substitutions and tactical shifts after Manchester United's 1-1 draw with bottom-side Wolves.
Gary Neville said that the performance of Manchester United in their match against winless Wolves was ‘the baddest of the bad.’
United would have moved fourth in the league with a win at Old Trafford last night, although Wolves, who had two points in 18 games before kickoff, ended their record of 11 straight losses with a 1-1 draw.
Amorim’s team had been knocked out of the Carabao Cup by a League Two team, Grimsby, in August, but Neville was convinced that United had hit rock bottom in a game that could have been even more one-sided were it not for two important saves by Senne Lammens.
“That was the baddest of the bad," the former United captain declared on the Gary Neville podcast.
“They weren’t just booed off at the final whistle. The fans waited in the stadium to continue to boo them. They’ve gone backwards.”
United had won at Newcastle 1-0 on Boxing Day, despite being plagued by an injury list that already lacked skipper Bruno Fernandes, Harry Maguire, and Matthijs de Ligt, as well as three players on African Cup of Nations duty.
But they remained flat right from the first whistle, and the header by Ladislav Krejci just before the half bottled Joshua Zirkzee's deflected shot.
Amorim’s formation choice of 3-4-3 was brought into focus once more as the Portuguese opted to go back to his preferred tactic of four at the back against Newcastle.
“This isn’t right. I’ve watched enough of United over the last five or six weeks to know what looks right and what isn’t right,” Neville had declared 20 minutes into his commentary on Sky Sports.
“Because, when I see that we go back (to three at the back) after five minutes tonight, I’m thinking, no, Ruben, why have you done that?
"The manager has to look at that and think, I got that wrong. I complicated it."
However, Amorim decided to substitute Zirkzee at halftime and brought on an 18-year-old Jack Fletcher, who made his third appearance at the senior level.
Regarding substitutions made by Amorim, Neville further added, “They made Manchester United worse. Every single substitution was ridiculous.”
‘If Zirkzee was injured, and it was a tactical substitution, that was a very poor one.’ But Zirkzee isn't Eric Cantona, not by a long shot, and he had to get out there for physicality, for presence, for experience.”
SEE LISANDRO MARTINEZ’S FURIOUS REACTION AFTER MAN UTD’S SHOCK WOLVES DRAW
Lisandro Martinez demands more after Man Utd’s 1-1 draw with bottom-placed Wolves. United ended 2025 sixth in the Premier League.
Stand-in captain Lisandro Martinez was mad that Manchester United dropped points against Wolves, who are at the bottom of the league.
United came into the last game of 2025 after a good win against Newcastle on Boxing Day and were expected to easily beat Wolves.
Joshua Zirkzee scored first for United, but they didn't take their chances. Ladislav Krejci's header tied the game for Wolves, 1-1.
It was only their third point in 19 games, and it stopped their 11-game losing streak. United fans booed at the end of the game.
When Martinez was asked if it felt like a disappointing point, he said, 100 percent.
We are very disappointed. We can't keep drawing or losing points at home. We have to win.
We want to be at the top, competing with the best.
We can't drop points in games like this. We just have to accept it and be hungry for the next game.
Martinez was captain again because Bruno Fernandes is still recovering from an injury.
When United coach Ruben Amorim was asked about injured players for the game against Leeds on Sunday, he didn't give much away. Leeds are really wanting to beat United for the first time since 2010.
Martinez said to MUTV, You can either make excuses, or you can be strong and say, 'We're dropping points, so we need to go for the next one and show what we can do.'
We need to work together and do the easy things to get the three points.
United is in sixth place in the league at the end of 2025, only two points behind Liverpool for the last Champions League spot. Liverpool has a game in hand.
They could be in a better position if they had been better in both boxes. Leeds has been playing well lately, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin doing great up front.
Martinez added, It's about us. I don't like to think about other teams.
I'm thinking about what we can do to get better as a team every day, and we have to learn from this game.
