Young goalkeeper talent relevant for United
Queens Park’s young goalkeeper, 17-year-old Callan McKenna, is said to be a candidate for United according to the Daily Record. The Scotland U international made seven appearances for Queens Park in the Scottish Championship before getting injured and is seen as a major talent. Note that it is therefore not about the English Queens Park Rangers. Read more here.
Skinner-critical fans outraged
The women’s team’s fans are criticizing the club after they believe they received warnings when they criticized coach Marc Skinner through chants during the match. It happened during the match against PSV Eindhoven during the training camp in Malta. The story tells, among other things, that a supporter who did not even participate in the critical chants (who believed that Marc Skinner should be fired) is said to have been told by one of United’s security guards to stop chanting the critical chants .
Being allowed to criticize the current coach must be a right, say the supporters. The club has looked at the circumstances and believes that the security guard acted on behalf of coaches and players to avoid unnecessary confrontation.

Seville glances at Hannibal
Sevilla are waiting for the signing of Frenchman Lucien Agoumé to become official, but also have their sights set on United’s Hannibal Mejbri.  According to information from Spanska AS should Hannibal himself be interested in joining Sevilla but Ten Hag does not want to agree to a loan. Hannibal gets a sparing taste of playing time at United, but still gets minutes every now and then.
