Manchester United quiz: Ruben Amorim, new season and more
Manchester United and Ruben Amorim will be hoping the next season brings with it renewed hope of success after a terrible last campaign. The Red Devils kick off the 2025/26 campaign with a tough test at home against Arsenal on August 17. Last season was one to forget for United after finishing 15th in the Premier League - their lowest position since they were relegated in 1973/74 - and they also lost the Europa League final to Tottenham. There are other issues facing the club. Marcus Rashford is reportedly among five players to have informed United they wish to explore a future away from Old Trafford. Rashford has fallen out of favour with manager Amorim and played for Aston Villa on loan while United had their worst Premier League campaign. United also failed to qualify for the Uefa Champions League as they lost the Europa League final 1-0. Alejandro Garnacho, who was a late substitute in the final, voiced his displeasure on social media after that defeat. With so much happening at United, it can be easy to forget all that has happened so far. Take our quiz below to see how much you remember.

Football transfer rumours: Nicolas Jackson to join Manchester United?
The Villa Park Rehabilitation Centre for Disaffected Souls Who Learned the Hard Way that Old Trafford is No Longer the Theatre of Dreams or Let's Be Honest Even Hopes could soon have a new arrival. After helping Marcus Rashford discovery his joie de football last season, Unai Emery reportedly wants to do to the same for Alejandro Garnacho, while also injecting him with an eye-watering level of tactical detail and a hitherto unseen desire to do the defensive hard yards. Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are also listening to Garnacho FM for the latest, which could result in an unlikely swap deal. The word on the street is the Manchester United's search for a centre-forward has reached Nicolas Jackson, who might as well have a red shirt to go with the red cards he's started collecting. Villa and Milan also have a soft spot for Jackson's unique brand of excellence, incompetence and occasional noggin-loss. But Villa might be advised to delete Chelsea's number for the next few weeks: according to some of today's rags, Chelsea's main transfer target this summer is Villa's potential superstar Morgan Rogers. Just as Pep Guardiola dreams of a team of midfielders, so Chelsea's recruitment department are moving ever closer to an XI made up solely of attacking midfielders and wide forwards. Milan and Man Utd are also engaged in an entirely metaphorical arm wrestle for Brighton left-back Pervis Estupiñán, who fancies a new challenge and will sure as flip get one if he joins either of those two. Detestors of all things Man Utd will be pleased to know we're almost done with them for today. Before we go, Juventus are the latest club to consider a move for Marcus Rashford. English football's love/hate/actually-he's-really-good-isn't-he relationship with Granit Xhaka will resume if he becomes the most high-profile arrival of Sunderland's £££tastic transfer window. Saudi Pro League club Neom FC are keen to scupper that particularly initiative. Ademola Lookman, the man whose Europa League final hat-trick in 2024 denied Xhaka's Leverkusen an InvinciTreble, is wanted by Inter. And Bayern Munich, who are back at the summit in Germany after the horrific one-year drought imposed upon them by Leverkusen, have highlighted VfB Stuttgart's Nick Woltemade as Harry Kane's eventual replacement. Stuttgart have told Bayern where to stick their offer of €50m + €5m in add-ons, a 10 per cent sell-on clause and a few laminated posters of Mario Gómez. But we know how this usually ends. Sign up to Football Daily Kick off your evenings with the Guardian's take on the world of football after newsletter promotion West Ham are doing things quietly, the Graham Potter way, but have already made one outstanding signing in Senegal left-back El Hadji Malick Diouf. Next on their list is one or possibly both of Harvey Elliott, Liverpool's curly-haired bundle of infectious creativity, and Bournemouth's Marcus Tavernier.

The three Premier League clubs interested in signing Alejandro Garnacho revealed
Three Premier League clubs remain interested in signing Manchester United outcast Alejandro Garnacho. The Argentina international's spectacular fall from grace has culminated in his exclusion from the first team squad this week as Ruben Amorim's charges returned to Carrington for pre-season training. An already fractious relationship between player and manager reached boiling point at the end of last season when Garnacho was surprisingly omitted from Amorin's starting line-up for the Europa League final. United slumped to a damaging 1-0 defeat against Tottenham, after which Garnacho questioned the wisdom of leaving him on the bench until the closing stages. The 21-year-old was forced to take part in United's post-season tour which immediately followed the end of the Premier League campaign, but it represented only a temporary reprieve. Wake up to find news on your club in your inbox every morning with Metro's Football Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your team in the link so we can send you football news tailored to you. Garnacho sparked further outrage last month by posting a picture on social media of him wearing an Aston Villa shirt with Marcus Rashford's name and squad number on the back, an act that represented the last straw. Despite his questionable temperament, the winger has a number of suitors, including Villa who have made a slow start to their summer recruitment drive. Rashford and Marco Asensio, two January loan signings who made impacts last term, have returned to their parent clubs. Unai Emery, according to the Daily Mail, is an admirer of Ganacho's and would be interested in bringing him to Villa Park. Chelsea, meanwhile, tried to buy the player back in January and still want to make more attacking signings, despite already having added the likes of Joao Pedro and Liam Delap. While some fans may still feel a pang of regret at seeing such a talented player depart for far less than his true market value, former Manchester United star Paul Parker insists there is only one possible course of action. 'Sell the boy,' Parker said when asked Garnacho's future, speaking via 'He needs to move on, needs to understand what football is about. Not a game of golf, and you need players around you. 'He needs to look at his game and what he is rather than what he wants to be – he should want to be Garnacho, not the former United winger that plays for Portugal… and have a bit of humanity. 'I'd say I have better end product than him. He's more concerned about trying to score and what he's going to do after to celebrate than actually scoring a goal. 'His end product is terrible, absolutely terrible. Living off shinning an overhead kick into the top corner against Everton. 'I wonder what kind of player he is. Not full of tricks, not that quick. I'm trying to figure out what his game is, I really don't know what his strengths are.' London rivals Tottenham are also in the mix for a player whose value has dropped dramatically as a consequence of having been frozen out by United. More Trending The Red Devils originally valued Garnacho at around £70million but will have to accept a much lower fee now in order to get him off their books. United are back in action this weekend when they face Leeds United in Stockholm but Garnacho, along with Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia, have been told to stay behind.
