In an explosive new interview, the United captain reveals he rejected a massive move to Al-Hilal despite the board allegedly pushing for the sale to cash in on a £100m fee. Bruno admits "it hurts a lot" to feel unwanted by the club he loves, claiming the directors "didn't have the courage" to tell him directly that they prioritised the money over his leadership.

15/12/2025 - Match Review! Mark gives the rundown of Man United's absolutely off-the-wall draw against Bournemouth. With four goals scored, is Amorim to blame for us not winning, or was it one of those freak matches?

Reports are circulating that Ruben Amorim is already considering scrapping his usual system to switch Manchester United to a 4-3-3. If true, this exposes a massive lack of vision from the INEOS-led board. After scouting and hiring a manager specifically known for his 5-at-the-back system and tailoring the squad investment to match it, forcing a change now screams panic. 

Goldbridge shares his thoughts on the mounting problems at Manchester United and explores what needs to change to turn things around. He questions why so many key issues remain unanswered this season, from the manager’s long-term vision and tactical direction to the club’s approach to youth development and squad planning. With uncertainty growing both on and off the pitch, are United finally at a crossroads?
