Manchester United gain momentum ahead of their Monday clash with Everton. Chelsea’s late draw against Burnley hands the Red Devils a chance to build a three-point lead over the London side with a victory at Goodison Park.
Challenges Ahead Against Everton
Everton previously triumphed at Old Trafford despite playing over half the match with 10 men after Idrissa Gueye’s red card. Conditions differ now, with Michael Carrick at the helm as interim manager. Carrick remains unbeaten in his pursuit of Champions League spots through a top-four finish, which could shape United’s summer transfers.
Scott McTominay’s Napoli Success Sparks Sell-On Clause
Former Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay excels at Napoli since his 2024 move. Napoli’s potential sale of the star would trigger a 10 percent windfall for United. McTominay played a pivotal role in Napoli’s Scudetto win last season, earning Champions League return.
Discussions for a new contract reward his form, potentially quashing Premier League return rumors. Napoli acquired him for just over £25 million, and any summer exit would likely command a higher fee.
Andre Onana’s Trabzonspor Loan Hits Snag
Trabzonspor shows no plans to convert Andre Onana’s loan from Manchester United into a permanent deal, Turkish outlets indicate. The Cameroonian goalkeeper started strongly but recently struggled. Manager Fatih Tekke offered private support after a 3-2 defeat to Fenerbahce, Trabzonspor’s first loss since January.
Onana featured in the next game at Gaziantep. His United contract runs until 2028, but his future remains unclear under a new permanent boss. Rumors swirl of a possible Inter Milan return, where he reached the 2023 Champions League final before joining Old Trafford.
