Ruben Amorim arriving ahead of Leicester vs Man Utd
Ruben Amorim led Manchester United to back-to-back wins ahead of the international break
Manchester United go into the international break off the back of some impressive results and performances. Ruben Amorim's team got the better of Real Sociedad in Europe and followed it up by making light work of Leicester, giving Amorim something to build on in April and May.
United should also have some players returning from injury when they return to action away to Nottingham Forest. Ayden Heaven looks unlikely to be back that soon, though, having left the field on a stretcher during the win at the King Power Stadium.
On the transfer front, questions have been asked about two players at different stages of their United careers. Jadon Sancho's potential permanent exit has been discussed, while Rasmus Hojlund could also be handed a way out despite ending his goal drought on Sunday.
In the meantime, plenty of players are on international duty. Diogo Dalot and Bruno Fernandes will be on Nations League duty for Portugal, with three of their United team-mates looking to stop them in their tracks as part of Brian Riemer's Denmark squad.
Off the field, there has also been discussion of the season ticket changes planned ahead of the 2025-26 campaign. Here are Mirror Football's latest lines from around Old Trafford.

Scholes calls out Ratcliffe
Paul Scholes has suggested Manchester United are almost "begging" for funds amid Sir Jim Ratcliffe's stadium plans. The former United star, speaking on The Overlap Fan Debate, raised questions about the backing for Ratcliffe's ambitious project.
"You can be gullible at times, and believe what he [Sir Jim Ratcliffe] says, just because you've never heard anyone say anything before," Scholes said. "You don't know how realistic it is, it's all up in the air.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe's stadium plans have come to light
"Words are cheap, and we could say anything about anyone, you can say in 10 years we'll have the biggest and best stadium. For a long time, we've been called the richest club in the world, but I feel like we're begging a little, asking for the stadium and that we need £2billion, and selling players to buy players."
Sancho given future verdict
Former Chelsea star William Gallas believes Jadon Sancho can't stay at Stamford Bridge, despite the Blues' agreement with Manchester United. A finish of 14th or higher in the league will trigger an obligation for the London club to sign the loanee permanently, though it is understood they can still pay United a lower fee to cancel such a move.

"At Dortmund, he was magnificent. At Manchester United it didn't work well for him. He came to Chelsea and at the beginning we saw that Sancho from Dortmund, but then he disappeared," Gallas told Stadium Astro.
"I don’t know what the problem is, but at the moment he can’t stay at Chelsea because he has to do more. When you play in the Premier League you have to play every game at the highest level. It’s not easy, but you can’t just play well for a few games and then chill out."
Hojlund offered escape route

Rasmus Hojlund's goal against Leicester was his first of 2025
Napoli could offer Rasmus Hojlund a way out of his tough Manchester United situation. The Danish striker has scored just three Premier League goals this season, with Sunday's effort against Leicester his first of 2025 in any competition.
The Serie A side, managed by Antonio Conte, are considering a swap deal which would see Hojlund move to Stadio Diego Armando Maradona with Victor Osimhen moving to Old Trafford. Osimhen has been banging in the goals on loan at Galatasaray, scoring 20 times in the league and adding six in Europe.
Were Hojlund to join Napoli, it would represent a return to Italian football. The 22-year-old spent one season with Atalanta before his £72million United switch, scoring nine times in Serie A at a rate of once every 204 minutes
