Manchester United transfer news, live! Latest reports, rumors, updates

Barely 12 months after moving from Brighton to Chelsea for $75 million, left back Marc Cucurella is reportedly the subject of a loan offer from Manchester United after Luke Shaw picked up an injury that will keep him out for two months (at least). According to the report from David Ornstein, Chelsea are open to letting Cucurella go.

There are, however, lots of details and clauses which must be agreed when it comes to a player of Cucurella’s cost (both in terms of transfer fee and wages). Not to mention, a potential loan-to-buy option in the deal. If a deal does get made, it will likely get done in the final hour(s) just before the transfer window closes.

Cucurella has been an unused substitute in both Premier League games under new manager Mauricio Pochettino. The 25-year-old Spaniard would presumably be signed to start ahead of incumbent Diogo Dalot.

Morocco midfielder Sofyan Amrabat is wanted by plenty of huge teams across Europe and it appears his future will be clearer in the coming days.

According to a report from Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport, Fiorentina have set a deadline of Friday for Amrabat to tell them whether or not he wants to leave.

The 27-year-old central midfielder was excellent at the World Cup in Morocco’s run to the semifinals and his mixture of being combative and then keeping the ball and driving forward with it is something that is reportedly attracting interest from Manchester United, Liverpool and Atletico Madrid.

Amrabat is exactly the kind of player that all three of those teams need in central midfield and especially Liverpool and Manchester United given the lack of balance in their play over the opening weeks of the new season.

Manchester United are reportedly set to sign Turkish goalkeeper Altay Bayindir from Fenerbahce.

Per a report from David Ornstein, United are already preparing the medical for a $5.4 million move for Bayindir.

The Turkish international goalkeeper is said to have a back issue that United want to double check but if all goes well in the medical he will sign as back-up to first-choice goalkeeper Andre Onana.

With Tom Heaton the clear No. 3 at United, this paves the way for Dean Henderson to move on. Per the same report it looks like the young English goalkeeper will be heading to Crystal Palace as his previous loan club Nottingham Forest have made USMNT star Matt Turner their new No. 1.

Dutch midfielder Ryan Gravenberch is a name that continues to be linked with a move to the Premier League and two giants are reportedly tussling to sign him.

Gravenberch, 21, has not been a regular at Bayern Munich and despite the German giants being reluctant to let the versatile Dutch international leave, it seems like it is inevitable.

Per a report from our partners in Germany at Sky Sports, both Liverpool and Manchester United are favorites to sign Gravenberch to strengthen their midfield.

He is exactly the kind of player both teams need to add defensive solidity and balance to their midfielders and the fact he can play in defense and midfield is an added bonus.

United may hold the edge in this battle as Erik ten Hag gave Gravenberch his chance in the Ajax first team and knows him very well.

Manchester United’s letter of the day is: V.

There’s plenty of transfer buzz this Monday as the club circles around its lukewarm start to the season.

Midfield options: A report from L’Equipe says United is looking into bringing Marco Verratti to town from Paris Saint-Germain, though the club would have to compete with Saudi sides and Bayern Munich.

The club is also still being linked with Fiorentina’s Sofyan Amrabat on multiple fronts, with a Sky Sports report also throwing the Red Devils’ hat into the mix for Ryan Gravenberch.

Goalkeeper: There could still be some goalkeeping movement at Old Trafford, with Dean Henderson now potentially moving to Crystal Palace to take the place of disgruntled Vicente Guaita.

If that happens, Sky says Greek international Odysseas Vlachodimos of Benfica could come into the picture as competition and support to new signing Andre Onana. The 33-times capped Vlachodimos has been with Benfica since 2018.

Manchester United could add two A. Onanas this summer.

That’s a sentence!

The Red Devils replaced David De Gea with Inter Milan goalkeeper Andre Onana and now have approached Everton about its influential midfielder Amadou Onana.

The 21-year-old Belgian international has been an absolute force for Sean Dyche’s men, racking up tackles, interceptions, and clearances while owning the air in the middle of the park.

The thought is that this Onana’s price range is between $65-75 million. That’s quite a bit more than United earned from Fenerbahce for the recently-completed transfer of Fred.

Amadou Onana has proven himself in the Premier League. Seeing the prices attached to other midfield stars means Everton’s ask is not unreasonable.

Rasmus Hojlund has seen his “dream come true” after signing for Manchester United.

The reported $92 million striker was paraded onto the pitch at Old Trafford on Saturday as United announced the long-expected and quite expensive deal for the 20-year-old.

“It is no secret that I have been a fan of this great club since I was a small boy, and I dreamed of walking out at Old Trafford as a Manchester United player,” Hojlund said.

He’s signed for United through the 2027-28 season, with an option for another season, and will try to build on a nine-goal Serie A season for Atalanta. Hojlund also has six goals in six caps for Denmark at his tender age.

A complete center forward, Hojlund will now have the chance to grow under Erik ten Hag with more than a little pressure on his position as United tries to win the Premier League.

It is nearly done. Rasmus Hojlund is closing in on his move to Manchester United.

Per Fabrizio Romano, United have got their new forward.

Hojlund, 20, is set to sign for United in a deal worth over $92 million as the Danish forward will have a lot of pressure on his shoulders to deliver right away at Old Trafford.

Per the report, Hojlund is on his way to England and will start his medical today and he will sign a five-year contract with the option of an extra year.

According to multiple reports Manchester United are very close to agreeing a transfer fee with Atalanta for Rasmus Hojlund.

Per Fabrizio Romano and CBS Sports, United believe they will agree the transfer fee with Atalanta for the Danish striker early next week.

Atalanta have basically already signed Hojlund’s replacement with El Bilal Toure arriving from Almeria.

Hojlund, 20, is in the UK with Atalanta but was not named in their squad to play in a friendly at Bournemouth on Saturday. That was reportedly due to Atalanta not wanting any injuries to scupper the deal with Manchester United.

The end game for this particular deal seems very near and United are going all-in on a talented young striker Erik ten Hag can develop as they hope Hojlund can lead their forward line next season and help them get to the next stage, which is challenging for the Premier League and UEFA Champions League titles.

Manchester United have reportedly increased their bid to Atalanta for striker Rasmus Hojlund.

The end game seems near. Or, well, nearer.

According to Fabrizio Romano, United have held more talks with Atalanta and have offered over $66 million for Hojlund, 20.

Per the report, Hojlund is adamant that he wants to sign for Manchester United.

The striker is highly-rated and many believe he has all of the attributes to become one of the best target forwards in Europe in the years ahead.

With Manchester United seemingly unable to sign Harry Kane this summer, signing Hojlund to bolster their forward options (Anthony Martial is their only proper No. 9) is smart and Erik ten Hag has an extremely good record with developing young talents.

Manchester United are reportedly ready to enter the battle with Chelsea and Arsenal for Ajax forward Mohammed Kudus.

Per The Daily Mirror, the Red Devils are lining up Kudus as an alternative to Rasmus Hojlund as they continue to talk with Atalanta over signing the Danish striker but talks remain difficult as they negotiate the fee.

Per the report, Randal Kolo Muani is also an option but Kudus seems to be someone United could sign as both Chelsea and Arsenal have expressed interest in the Ghanian forward. Kudus can play in a variety of positions and that could suit Erik ten Hag who loves flexible, fluid forwards.

During preseason he has even played Jadon Sancho up top as Anthony Martial works his way back to full fitness and Marcus Rashford is also being used in attacking areas.

After adding Mason Mount to bolster midfield, it is clear where else United need to strengthen this summer and adding another striker is key if they want to go from a top four team to genuine title contenders.

Manchester United have reportedly submitted a $66.3 million bid for Rasmus Hojlund as they continue to chase the Danish striker.

Per Fabrizio Romano, United have offered an initial $55.3 million to Atalanta for Hojlund plus another $10 million in add-ons.

However, it is believed Atalanta want over $77 million for Hojlund and are set to reject the bid.

Erik ten Hag has been speaking about United’s search for a striker during their preseason tour of the USA and said he is keen to add a new forward as soon as possible and that they are making progress when it comes to making the right addition to their forward line.

United improved defensively last season but at times they struggled to break down opponents as they were the lowest scorers in the top six and the third-lowest in the top 10.

Hojlund, 20, is set to become one of the top young forwards in Europe and now that United have made their move and they are only $15 million below Atalanta’s asking price, you have to think a deal will be done in the coming days to get this over the line.

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has given an update on their striker search ahead of their friendly against Wrexham in San Diego.

Speaking about potential new signings, Erik ten Hag confirmed they are making progress in signing a new forward with Atalanta’s Rasmus Hojlund expected to be their top target.

“We make progress, yeah,” Ten Hag said. “But you know how it works - when we have him, we will tell you directly. “The only thing I can say is we do everything that’s in our power to get that done. If it was up to me, yeah, as soon as possible. The earlier the better because we have to integrate him in the team, the way of play. In an ideal situation, he was already here but you do not always get ideal situations as a manager and you have to deal with the situation.”

Could Harry Kane end up leaving Tottenham this summer for a direct Premier League rival? For a long time it has seemed very unlikely this would happen but there may be a change in the situation.

A report from The Guardian states that Tottenham’s owner, Joe Lewis, wants Harry Kane to be sold this summer if he isn’t going to sign a new contract.

Per the report, that has given United renewed belief that they could sign Kane after previously pulling out of any deal due to the difficulties of negotiating with Spurs chairman Daniel Levy.

With Bayern Munich already having multiple bids rejected and Levy insisting Kane isn’t for sale despite having just one year left on his contract, there has to be some kind of big decision coming up.

Manchester United are also focusing on signing Danish striker Rasmus Hojlund but if Kane, who turns 30 this week, is available this summer for $127 million, it feels like United have to do this deal to lock down the player who is surely going to become the Premier League’s all-time leading scorer. Kane scoring 20-plus goals a season at United for the next three to four years would make a huge difference and they badly need a new No. 9.

Now it is all about whether or not Levy will be allowed to keep Kane and risk losing him for nothing or is forced to sell him to the highest bidder this summer. Of course, Kane could also refuse to move and just leave on a free (to United, or anyone else) next summer. Kane holds all of the power here.

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has given an update on their search for a new striker and admitted Financial Fair Play (FFP) compliance is making things complicated.

Currently on their preseason tour of the USA, United’s manager confirmed that the search for a new striker is ongoing and they focused on getting the right player in.

“We do a lot across Man Utd, with a lot of people we do everything in our power to get the right man in. I am aware about finance and about FFP, but across United we do everything to get our targets in,” Erik ten Hag said.

We know United want to sign Danish striker Rasmus Hojlund, 20, from Atalanta but that transfer fee is rising all of the time and could be well over $100 million.

Harry Kane is a long-term target and he could arrive on a free transfer next summer and given the issues with FFP, perhaps United are going to wait until things are more settled with their ownership situation and their finances as they could, potentially, battle for both Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappe on free transfers next summer.

Manchester United continue to chase Danish striker Rasmus Hojlund but Atalanta are not going to let him leave cheaply.

Hojlund, 20, has been linked continuously with a move to Manchester United and now Atalanta boss Gian Piero Gasperini has said that Hojlund won’t be leaving unless United pay anywhere from $89-111 million.

That is a lot of cash for a young striker who has had one decent season in Serie A.

We know the ‘Manchester United tax’ is always in the running when they sign a player but this could take things to a whole new level.

We also know that Erik ten Hag desperately wants to sign a central striker with Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial sharing that responsibility right now.

At this point, should Manchester United just wait until next summer when they should go all-in on signing Harry Kane on a free transfer? That seems like the play. Hojlund is very, very good and may turn out to be the next great number nine in Europe. But is he worth this kind of cash right now? That is for United to decide.

Andre Onana has completed his $57-million transfer from Inter Milan to Manchester United. Following the departure of David de Gea, who spent 12 years between the sticks at Old Trafford (and never made fewer than 26 starts in a Premier League season), the Red Devils have their goalkeeper of the future.

The 27-year-old Cameroonian international spent just one season at Inter, which culminated in a Champions League final defeat to treble-winning Manchester City. Onana provides Erik ten Hag with the short- and long-range passing out of the back that he so sorely missed during his first season at Man United.

West Ham are looking to spend the Declan Rice cash to upgrade their team and David Moyes is reportedly looking at two Manchester United players.

Per a report from The Metro in the UK, United are willing to sell McTominay as they aim to bring in a new central midfielder. The report goes on to say that United preferred to sell on Fred and Donny van de Beek but aren’t getting many offers for the duo and McTominay, 26, is attracting more interest and West Ham want him to replace Declan Rice.

Another report from our partners in the UK at Sky Sports says that Harry Maguire is wanted on loan or a permanent deal by West Ham. After announcing he has been stripped of the United captaincy by Erik ten Hag, it appears Maguire’s days at Old Trafford are numbered. Maguire, 30, would be a great addition for the Hammers and he would play every single week in the Premier League and Europa League.

This is one of those kind of moves that makes sense for everyone involved.

Andre Onana is set to become a new Manchester United player imminently, according to a report.

A report from BBC say that Onana is ‘on the brink’ of joining United from Inter Milan for $65 million and the Premier League giants hope he will arrive in time to join them on their preseason tour of the USA.

Onana, 27, will arrive as United’s new first-choice goalkeeper after David de Gea left at the end of his contract this summer.

The Cameroonian goalkeeper previously worked with Erik ten Hag at Ajax and was superb in Inter’s run to the UEFA Champions League final last summer. Per the report, United have agreed a five-year contract with Onana but talks with Inter are continuing over the structure of the $65 million transfer fee.

The BBC says that Harry Maguire could leave Manchester United this summer, though the center back isn’t exactly angling for a move away from Old Trafford.

Maguire reportedly likes his role as captain and wants to be more involved in Erik ten Hag’s plans this season should he stay with the club.

EDIT: It was announced later Sunday that Maguire was being replaced as United captain.

But the report says that West Ham has interest in bringing Maguire to London, where he’d join another ghost of Man Utd past in manager David Moyes. The boss is a fan of Maguire and has money to spend following the sale of Declan Rice to Arsenal.

Is Maguire a step up from Nayef Aguerd and former Chelsea man Kurt Zouma?

It appears that Andre Onana to Manchester United is edging closer to completion, as Inter Milan have arranged for his replacement to arrive.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Inter have agreed a deal with Bayern Munich’s Swiss goalkeeper Yann Sommer.

Per the report, Sommer has agreed a contract with Inter and now Bayern will discuss the final transfer fee.

After David de Gea left Manchester United following the expiration of his contract, Andre Onana is widely expected to join United this week before they head on their tour of the USA.

Manchester United have Danish striker Rasmus Hojlund at the ‘top of their list’ of targets for this summer, according to a report.

Fabrizio Romano says that United remain focused on signing the 20-year-old striker from Atalanta but also states no formal bid has been made to the Italian club.

Per the report, United have agreed personal terms with Hojlund on a contract but PSG are also showing interest in the young Danish striker.

With Harry Kane either not leaving Spurs this summer or only be allowed to leave for Bayern Munich or elsewhere abroad, United’s main center forward target will not be available. Kane could still arrive on a free next summer but in the meantime Hojlund could develop at United and should get plenty of minutes with only Anthony Martial as United’s other central striker.

Still, there’s a long way to go between now and then because Atalanta know they have one of Europe’s best young forwards on their books and Manchester United are pretty desperate to sign a striker ahead of the new season so they can ease the goalscoring burden on Marcus Rashford, Bruno Fernandes, Antony and Co.

Andre Onana is reportedly ‘edging closer’ to a move to Manchester United to Inter Milan.

According to our partners in the UK at Sky Sports, Manchester United and Inter Milan have held constructive, positive talks about reaching an agreement for Onana.

Per the report, Inter value Onana at $65 million and United were looking to pay closer to $50 million. They also state that personal terms won’t be a problem and Onana has told Inter he wants to move to Old Trafford.

The report also mentions that Japanese goalkeeper Zion Suzuki could arrive from Uwara Reds. With David de Gea leaving and Dean Henderson also expected to join Nottingham Forest this summer, veteran Tom Heaton is United’s only current first team goalkeeper on the books.

David de Gea has announced he has left Manchester United as a free agent.

The Spanish goalkeeper has spent the last 12 years at Old Trafford and has been sensational for most of that period, as he will go down as one of the best goalkeepers in United’s history.

It was widely expected he would sign an extension to his contract which expired on June 30, 2023. However, they didn’t materialize and he is now looking for a new club.

De Gea won the Golden Glove award in the Premier League last season, keeping 17 clean sheets. He still had a few errors but overall he has been a very reliable goalkeeper for Manchester United and pulls off some incredible stops.

It looks like United will bring in Inter Milan’s Andre Onana as their new No. 1 but where next for DDG? He has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia and some of Europe’s biggest clubs and the 32-year-old will not be short of suitors.

Manchester United are locked in talks with Inter Milan about signing goalkeeper Andre Onana and it appears they will sign him very soon.

According to Fabrizio Romano, United are in talks with Inter Milan as discussions are ongoing and the final bid will ‘arrive soon’ as the Red Devils hope to take Onana on their tour of the USA this summer. It is believed that Onana wants the move to United to link up with Erik ten Hag who was his former coach at Ajax.

With David de Gea leaving Man United, the race is on for the Red Devils to bring in their new No. 1. Onana has been excellent for Ajax and Inter and at the age of 27 he could be United’s goalkeeper for the next 10 years. He is also comfortable playing out of the back, which is a big deal for the way Erik ten Hag wants United to play.

Manchester United have confirmed the signing of England international Mason Mount from Chelsea on a five year contract with the option of an extra year. It is believed the Red Devils have signed Mount for a fee of up to $76 million, including add-ons. Mount, 24, will be a valuable addition to Erik ten Hag’s midfield as he can play in multiple positions in attacking and slightly deeper areas.

Mason Mount has confirmed his exit from Chelsea as he posted an emotional farewell video on social media.

Mount, 24, is expected to be announced as a Manchester United player in the coming hours as the England international leaves Chelsea after 18 years with the Blues. After joining Chelsea at the age of six Mount has gone on to win the Champions League and become a valuable player and fans’ favorite at Stamford Bridge.

But now he’s heading to Old Trafford and in his farewell message he acknowledged this is what he wanted to take the. next step in his career. Only time will tell whether or not Mount has made the right decision but the attacking midfielder has certainly made a big call and now he will focus on nailing down a starting spot in Erik ten Hag’s midfield.

Despite uncertainty around who will own Manchester United, there is no uncertainty when it comes to Erik ten Hag cracking on with his rebuild. According to our partners in the UK at Sky Sports, United are ‘in talks’ with Atalanta over a deal to sign Danish striker Rasmus Hojlund. The 20-year-old is a rising star and according to Fabrizio Romano the Italian side want a huge fee of over $65 million for the striker. Is this the kind of player United want to sign? Hojlund is a superb talent but many expected them to try and sign Harry Kane, Neymar or someone of a similar ilk this summer. Perhaps United will bring in Hojlund and develop him for a season, then bring in Kane on a free transfer next summer? Erik ten Hag has a great record developing young talents and there’s no doubting that Hojlund’s ceiling is incredibly high.

Mason Mount is having his medical at Manchester United, according to our partners in the UK at Sky Sports. Mount is expected to complete his $76.8 million move from Chelsea imminently as the England international had just one year left on his contract with the Blues. United have stepped in to snap up mount and after prolonged talks over a transfer fee, the two clubs finally agreed on a package. Mount heading to United is still a move which is surprising on many levels. 1) he will be delighted about being back at a Champions League club but is he going to play regularly with Bruno Fernandes, Alejandro Garnacho, Marcus Rashford and Antony around? 2) does his style of play suit Erik ten Hag’s tactics? 3) how will this help him get more minutes with England? 4) what the heck happened at Chelsea to force the academy graduate to want out? So. Many. Questions. Anyway, he’s having a medical and this move should be confirmed soon.

With David de Gea’s Manchester United future uncertain, it appears Erik ten Hag is going all-in on Andre Onana becoming his new starting goalkeeper. Per a report from Fabrizio Romano , United are locked in talks with Inter Milan about signing Onana but they are yet to make a bid for Inter’s star goalkeeper. With David de Gea out of contract and more talks planned with United after he returns from celebrating his wedding over the last few days, it appears the Premier League giants are scrambling a little. The Spanish goalkeeper was expected to sign a new contract but there have been a few snags and now the Red Devils are looking elsewhere. Fast. The report also says that Feyenoord goalkeeper Justin Bijlow is an option for United as they search for plenty of alternatives to De Gea. However, Onana is their main target.

David de Gea is officially out of contract at Manchester United after his previous deal expired on June 30. Per the BBC, De Gea is getting married this weekend and no further talks have been held about signing a new deal at United. Per the report, some changes to a previously agreed upon deal are being sorted out and United won’t meet with David de Gea until after his wedding weekend and when he returns from his celebrations. What exactly is going on here? De Gea has been linked with a move away from Manchester United and the club have been linked with a move for Andre Onana, David Raya and several other goalkeepers. It appears this situation could become one of the sagas of the summer as although David de Gea sent out the following message via social media below, there is nothing boring about trying to figure out why one of the best goalkeepers in the world was able to run his contract down and could now, if he wanted to, sign for anybody for free.

Okay, it appears we are about to get somewhere with the Mason Mount saga and find out where he will be next season. A report from Fabrizio Romano says that Manchester United and Chelsea will sit down for more talks over the England international. He believes that Manchester United will sign Mount if Chelsea agree to a fee of $70 million. With one year left on his deal, that is a lot of money for Mount and Chelsea should do this deal. Considering all of the players they have let go this summer and the players already arriving under Mauricio Pochettino’s rebuild, it is better for Chelsea to move Mount on quickly and get a very decent transfer free for the academy product.

A report from ESPN says that Manchester United are keeping a close eye on USMNT rising star Taylor Booth. The American midfielder, 22, has impressed at FC Utrecht in the Eredivisie and is apparently an alternative option to Mason Mount as United are struggling to seal a deal with Chelsea for the England international. Booth has had a dramatic rise in recent years and the former Bayern Munich academy product is ready for the next step from the Netherlands. Would a move to Man United be too big a jump too soon in his career? We may be about to find out. Worst case scenario he joins Man United and is then loaned out to gain more experience.

A report from our partners in the UK at Sky Sports says that Manchester United are ‘willing to walk away’ if their third bid for Mason Mount is rejected by Chelsea. Per the report, United will offer $70 million for Mount and have already agreed personal terms with the player. The report also claims that Chelsea want $80 million for Mount but United aren’t wiling to pay that for the England international who has just one year left on his current contract. Mount is a very good player but $70 million with just one year left on his deal seems like a very good offer for Chelsea. With the Blues offloading so many players this summer, many of them at a huge loss, Mount is one of their outgoing players they can get a big transfer fee for. That is probably why they are digging their heels in but it seems like Manchester United are running out of patience. (JPW)
