🚨 Genuinely can’t wait to see Carlos Baleba and Kobbie Mainoo play together in midfield. The balance in that pivot could be excellent. Mainoo gives us composure, press resistance and control in possession, while Baleba brings the athleticism, ball-winning and defensive coverage to complement him. The international break can’t end soon enough. 😤

🚨🚨 JUST IN: Juventus are MONITORING Benjamin Sesko’s situation at Manchester United and are considering a move for the striker next summer. However, United want to KEEP the 23-year-old and are NOT currently considering a sale. [@Gazzetta_it] #mufc

Baleba/Mainoo pivot against Tottenham. I genuinely can’t wait for this game now. I need to see what these two can do together.

🚨🚨 Matthijs de Ligt returning later this month is easily the best news I’ve seen all week. He’s one of the most underrated defenders in the world right now. Solid, consistent and a proper leader who puts his body on the line. One of the few who truly understands what it means to play for Manchester United. Can't wait for that Licha & De Ligt partnership. 😤🔥
