If your plan needs too many moving parts, it usually falls apart before it matters. Fast decks work because they ask simple questions early, and a lot of opponents just don't have the answer in time.

Start With Basics
The easiest way to speed up your games is to build around Basic Pokémon that can attack right away. That's the real shortcut. Cards like Pikachu ex or Mewtwo ex don't need an Evolution chain, so you're not wasting turns waiting for the right pieces. You bench them, attach energy, and get to work. That alone changes the pace of a match. Newer players often get pulled toward flashy Stage 2 ideas, but those decks can feel awful when the draw doesn't cooperate. With Basics, your opening hands are cleaner, your turns are quicker, and you're much more likely to hit the board with pressure before your opponent settles in.

Keep the Energy Simple
This part sounds obvious, but plenty of players still ignore it. Don't get greedy with energy types. One type is ideal, two is manageable, and anything beyond that starts asking for trouble. You'll notice it straight away when your hand looks playable at first, then suddenly isn't. That's how games get thrown. A fast list needs to attach every turn without hesitation. If your attacker wants low energy costs and your deck actually supports that plan, your turns feel smooth. If not, you're stuck passing, and that's usually how momentum disappears. Consistency might not look exciting on paper, but it wins far more games than cute tech choices ever will.

Draw Fast and Hit Your Pieces
Trainer cards are what make the whole thing feel reliable instead of random. In a fast deck, you want a heavy Trainer count so you can keep seeing fresh cards and finding your Basics early. Professor's Research is still one of the cleanest ways to do that. Seven new cards can completely reset a bad hand. Poké Ball matters too, because searching out the right Basic on turn one or two saves you from awkward starts. The goal isn't to do something clever. It's to remove as many dead turns as possible. Once you build with that in mind, the list almost starts playing itself, and you spend less time hoping to top-deck your way back into the match.

Finish Before They Recover
Fast decks don't just start strong. They need to close. That's where pressure tools and smart target choices come in. If your opponent is trying to build a slower board, pulling up the wrong Pokémon at the right time can end the game on the spot. Supporters like Sabrina or Boss's Orders are brutal because they punish slow hands and exposed setup pieces. You don't need every knockout to be huge; you just need to keep them off balance long enough to stay ahead.

United view it as an attractive fee for a young but extremely experienced and high-quality centre-back, who has enjoyed success everywhere he has played.

Mazraoui is viewed at the club as a young, versatile and dynamic full-back - strong defensively and going forward on the left or right.

West Ham United have signed defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka from Manchester United for £15m.
The 26-year-old has penned a seven-year deal with the Hammers.

Wan-Bissaka left Crystal Palace for Manchester United in a £50m move in 2019 and scored two goals in 190 appearances for the Red Devils.


"It was a no brainer for me to join West Ham - I'm excited and happy to be here," said Wan-Bissaka.
"I can't wait to get on the pitch, get to know the players, and push on from there.
"I see a team that is in it together, that will push each other to win, and a group that has got each others' backs through thick and thin, so being part of that and having that insurance helps a lot when you are surrounded by a good squad."

Wan-Bissaka, who was born in London, added it was an "amazing feeling" to return to the capital.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer signed Wan-Bissaka when he was Manchester United manager in 2019 and the defender was first choice until the Norwegian's departure in 2021.

Wan-Bissaka lost his regular starting position after Erik ten Hag's appointment in 2022,al though he still managed 64 appearances under the Dutchman in the past two seasons.]]>

Daley Blind has completed a transfer from Manchester United back to former club AFC Ajax.

The versatile and technically-gifted Netherlands international has signed a four-year contract with his boyhood club in Amsterdam, from whom he initially joined the Reds in August 2014.

lind made the move to Old Trafford after starring at the World Cup in Brazil, where he famously supplied the left-footed cross that led to former United striker Robin van Persie’s now iconic diving header against Spain.

Holland went on to reach the semi-finals of that tournament under the management of Louis van Gaal, who took charge of United afterwards and made Daley one of his first acquisitions.

In total, across four seasons in England, Blind registered 141 Reds appearances and scored six goals.

The 28-year-old also won four trophies and his first was the 2016 Emirates FA Cup, when he played every minute of our celebrated 2-1 extra-time victory over Crystal Palace at Wembley Stadium.

The FA Community Shield success over Leicester City followed in August and our League Cup triumph against Southampton in February 2017.

Manchester United agreed to the mutual termination of Ibrahimovic's contract on Thursday, paving the way for the 36-year-old Sweden striker to complete his move to California.

Ibrahimovic says he is convinced the switch to Major League Soccer club Galaxy is the ideal move.

"I decided to sign with Galaxy because I think it's the right place for me," he said.

The Swedish striker will wear the number nine shirt for Galaxy
"I think I have a lot to give, I can help them a lot. It's the best team in the US. There were no doubts."

In typically flamboyant fashion, Ibrahimovic took out a full-page advert in Friday's LA Times in advance of a formal announcement from Galaxy.

A league title winner in four different countries, Ibrahimovic left hometown club Malmo for Ajax in 2001. He went on to play for Juventus, Inter, Barcelona, AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain before joining United in 2016.

He made 53 appearances for United, scoring 29 goals, the last of which came in the EFL Cup defeat to Bristol City in December. Ibrahimovic played an instrumental role in United's EFL Cup and Europa League triumphs last season.

Ibrahimovic has won 13 league titles in four different countries

In an Instagram post on Thursday, Ibrahimovic wrote: "Great things also come to an end and it is time to move on after two fantastic seasons with Manchester United.

"Thank you to the club, the fans, the team, the coach, the staff and everybody who shared with me this part of my history."


David Beckham - who now owns his own MLS franchise in Miami - told us in January that if Ibrahimovic were to join the league, it would be a huge boost
A United statement read: "Everyone at the club would like to thank Zlatan for his contribution to the team since his arrival and wishes him well for the future."

The Armenia international joined another Premier League club, Arsenal, on Monday evening as Alexis Sanchez moved in the opposite direction to Old Trafford.

After his switch to the Gunners was confirmed, Mkhitaryan released a statement on his official Instagram account which read: "I would like to say a heartfelt thank you to Manchester United players and staff, and especially the fans for your love, passion and support. I enjoyed having the honour of contributing to the history of your great club by winning the Europa League.

"I will always cherish the memory of that moment and that match. And of my Boxing Day scorpion kick and of hearing the song “Whoa Mkhitaryan...” every time I stepped onto the pitch. I could name many more memories, I enjoyed every moment we shared and cheered together.

"At this stage of my career, I simply have to enjoy myself on the pitch and play. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and the best of luck to all of you! Life goes on."

A CLASSY GESTURE

Mkhitaryan also revealed on Twitter that he will donate a United shirt signed by all of the players to help children affected by cancer in his native Armenia, as a special thank you to everyone who contributed to his documentary 'Micki: An Armenian Hero', which aired on MUTV in November.

REDS PAY TRIBUTE TO MICKI

After news of Mkhitaryan's move was announced, many United players used social media to wish their friend well at the Emirates Stadium.

Juan Mata tweeted: "All the best and enjoy my friend."

Ashley Young tweeted a picture of him with Micki, along with the message: "All the best, my friend."

Zlatan posted on his Instagram story: "Luck you don't need, just enjoy your game."

On his own Instagram story, Jesse Lingard said: "All the best brother."

Ander Herrera simply summed up Micki in one word: "Gentleman."

Romelu Lukaku said on Instagram: "My bro, good luck. I will miss you."

GOOD LUCK AT ARSENAL

Mkhitaryan joined the Reds from Bundesliga outfit Borussia Dortmund in July 2016, making his competitive debut as a substitute in United’s 2-1 victory over Leicester City in the Community Shield at Wembley.

It was the first of three trophies that the 29-year-old helped the club to win in his first and only full season, with the League Cup and UEFA Europa League to follow.

The midfielder went on to make 63 Reds appearances in all competitions, scoring 13 goals. His last outing came in the Emirates FA Cup third-round win over Derby County at Old Trafford on 5 January.

Jose Mourinho praised Mkhitaryan for his contribution to the team, saying: “I would like to wish Henrikh all the success and happiness that I am sure he is going to get. He is a player that we will not forget, especially for his contribution to our Europa League victory.”

Everyone at the club echoes the manager's sentiments and wishes Henrikh all the best for the future.

Jose Mourinho commented: “Alexis is one of the best attacking players in the world and he will complete our very young and talented group of attacking players. He will bring his ambition, drive and personality, qualities that make a Manchester United player and a player that makes the team stronger and the supporters proud of their club dimension and prestige.

“I would like to wish Henrikh all the success and happiness that I am sure he is going to get. He is a player that we will not forget, especially for his contribution to our Europa League victory.”

Quote:Adnan Januzaj has completed a transfer from Manchester United to Real Sociedad.

The Academy graduate and Belgium international has signed with the side who finished sixth in La Liga last season, bringing an end to a Reds career that consisted of 66 senior appearances and five goals.

Januzaj made his United debut in the FA Community Shield win over Wigan Athletic in August 2013 and established himself as an excellent prospect that season, famously scoring a brace at Sunderland under the management of David Moyes – who is coincidentally a former boss of Real Sociedad.

Opportunities proved hard to come by during Louis van Gaal’s first season at Old Trafford and that led to a loan spell at Borussia Dortmund in 2015/16, the Dutchman’s second campaign with United.

Jose Mourinho allowed Adnan to spend last season on loan at Sunderland and now the 22-year-old forward has taken the tough decision to leave United and make the move San Sebastian.

Using his personal Twitter account on Wednesday, Januzaj posted this statement: "Where to start... I've had some incredible moments with Manchester United since I joined. I want to say a massive thank you to all my team-mates that have come and gone from the club. It's been a pleasure to play with you all.

"Thank you to some of the coaches and staff that work at Manchester United to make it such a great club! Unfortunately, my time at the club has come to an end and it didn't go the way I wanted it to go but I will aways have love for Manchester United. And finally, a huge thank you to the fans that have stuck by me through the good and bad times! I will never forget that positive support. Thank you #GGMU."

Everybody at Manchester United wishes Adnan well for the next chapter of his career.

Manchester United have announced the signing of Romelu Lukaku from Everton.

Lukaku has signed a five-year contract, with the option of a further 12 months, after completing a medical in Los Angeles over the weekend.

Rumours suggest that the fee could eventually rise to £90m, and United held off late competition from Chelsea for the Belgium striker's signature.

Lukaku has joined up with his new team-mates in Los Angeles ahead of their pre-season schedule in the United States, although he will not feature in their opening game against LA Galaxy this weekend.

Mourinho, who managed the 24-year-old at Chelsea, told the United website: "Romelu is a natural fit for Manchester United. He is a big personality and a big player. It is only natural that he wants to develop his career at the biggest club.

"He will be a great addition to the group and I know they will make him very welcome. I am really looking forward to working with him again."]]> [Image: Romelu.jpg]

Wayne Rooney is to rejoin Everton, 13 years after signing for the Reds from the Merseyside team.

Jose Mourinho said, "It is no secret that I have long been an admirer of Wayne; he has been a model professional throughout his time at the club and will remain in the history books for many years to come.

"It is never easy to see a great player playing less football than he would like and I could not stand in his way when he asked to go back to Everton. His experience, focus and determination will be missed and I wish him well for the future."

Ed Woodward said, "Wayne has been a fantastic servant to United since the moment he signed for us as a prodigiously talented, explosive teenager some 13 seasons ago.

"Who can forget his storybook debut hat trick against Fenerbahce, the spectacular overhead kick against City and the countless match-winning performances in his time here? But after much discussion, the club has decided to accept his request to rejoin his boyhood team.

"He goes having created some of the most magical moments in some of the most successful years in the club's history. Wayne leaves us as our greatest ever goalscorer and having won every major trophy in the game. His record will take decades for anyone to get close to matching and I am extremely grateful for the way he has led from the front since being appointed club captain three years ago.

"On behalf of the whole club and our hundreds of millions of fans around the world, we wish Wayne all the very best for the next phase of his incredible career."



Quote:Wayne Rooney delivered a heartfelt message to Manchester United staff, players and supporters on Sunday afternoon, just hours after his departure to Everton was confirmed.

The former captain has rejoined the club he supported as a boy and made his professional breakthrough with, prior to being signed by Sir Alex Ferguson in a high-profile transfer in 2004.

After spending 13 years and winning 16 trophies at United, it's clearly an emotional moment for the Reds' record goalscorer as he moves back to Merseyside, and this is reflected in his post on social media.

"Just want to say a massive thank you to everybody at Manchester United," said the striker.

"Thanks to the boards over the years, the managers and coaches I've played under, the staff I've worked with, the team mates I've played alongside, and finally the amazing fans that I've been lucky enough to have played for. Thanks for the memories!"

Former team-mates who posted messages to Wayne on social media included current Reds stars Ander Herrera and Jesse Lingard, who reacted to his exit as they boarded the squad's pre-season tour flight from Manchester to Los Angeles.

Lingard tweeted: "All the best skipper in the next chapter of your amazing career. Been an absolute pleasure and learnt so much, @WayneRooney."

Also on Twitter, Herrera said: "One day I will be able to tell my grandkids I played with you. All the best and thank you @WayneRooney #FarewellToALegend."

Rooney's long-time colleague for club and country, former England right-back Gary Neville, said: "All the best @WayneRooney and congratulations on a great United career. The best striker I played with and saw at the club."

Quote:Manchester United have completed the signing of defender Victor Lindelof from Benfica for £31m.

The Sweden international, 22, travelled to Manchester on Wednesday to discuss terms and have a medical.

Lindelof, who has won 12 caps for Sweden, becomes United's most expensive defender, overtaking the £29.1m paid for Rio Ferdinand in 2002.

"I'm thrilled," said Lindelof, who joins on a four-year contract with an option for a fifth year.

"I have enjoyed my time at Benfica enormously and I have learned a lot there. But I'm looking forward to playing in the Premier League at Old Trafford and for Jose Mourinho. I'm keen to get started and make my contribution to the team's efforts to win more trophies," added the centre-back, who made 47 appearances as Benfica won a Portuguese domestic double last season.

"Victor is a very talented young player, who has a great future ahead of him at United. Our season last year showed us that we need options and quality to add depth to the squad and Victor is the first to join us this summer," said Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho.
