Manchester United transfer news LIVE Man Utd takeover latest as Mason Mount bid rejected

United are considering making Alejandro Garnacho their new number seven as his stratospheric rise continues.

The 18-year-old Garnacho only made his first-team debut against Chelsea in April last year but has already established himself as one of United’s most captivating strikers.

The number 7 was vacated by Cristiano Ronaldo in November when he forced his departure and Garnacho, currently wearing the number 49, signed a five-year deal in April.

Garnacho would become the first teenager to receive the No. 7 since Ronaldo in 2003.

Erik ten Hag will reportedly send his United players through a week of ‘hell’ early in the pre-season.

According to The Sun, the United manager is planning four days of doubles training and there will be an even greater focus on building his side’s stamina.

Already speaking to players, Carrington staff are talking about “hell week” – a term more commonly used to describe SAS selection camps.

Leeds could reportedly try to land Amad on loan this summer.

The Mirror say United’s bitter rivals are interested in a fixed-term deal as they aim for an immediate return to the Premier League next season.

Amad could be loaned out again after the pre-season tour and a return to the Championship could suit everyone involved.

United monitor young goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic.

The Serbia international has impressed in MLS for New England Revolution and his performances have caught the attention of European clubs. Premier League sides are interested in the 23-year-old Manchester evening news assumes United are interested but haven’t made contact yet.

United are looking to sign another top midfielder this summer and Frenkie de Jong could make a move.

According to Foot Mercato, Thomas Tuchel has approached Bayern Munich for an offer for the Barcelona star after dropping out of the race to sign Declan Rice from West Ham.

United are longtime admirers of De Jong and could consider another offer themselves if he becomes available for a transfer.

United are turning their attention to other midfield targets after making little progress in chasing Mason Mount.

The Times say United will now consider other options, with Brighton’s Moises Caicedo at the top of the list.

Brighton are believed to value Caicedo at around £80m, much more than Chelsea are asking for Mount, but United are reportedly ready to take that into account given his younger age and vastly different contract situation.

United are unhappy with Chelsea as negotiations continue over a potential Mason Mount transfer.

Director of football John Murtough is believed to have taken a dim view of Chelsea’s strategy of communicating United’s offers through the club’s dedicated correspondents in London.

Chelsea have rejected three offers from United over upfront fees with bids in the range of £40m, £50m and £55m. Chelsea are waiting for a total transfer fee of £65million.

Those on the Old Trafford tour next weekend will need to be on the lookout for names to be removed from the home dressing room. Jack Butland’s mooring was appropriately adjacent to one of the exit routes.

Marcel Sabitzer’s name had been removed when press officials cast him for a game against club media last month. Wout Weghorst’s performance was still there and Danny Webber, our ‘ringer’ up front, scored more goals in one half at Old Trafford than the Dutchman has managed in 15 games at the stadium.

Weghorst’s name will be deleted next week. Maybe David de Geas too. De Gea is the only United player whose contract is expiring and could be considered a member of the regular squad.

It’s this unofficial status that keeps United from proactively pushing others into the departure lounge. For most of the last year United have been trying to extend De Gea’s 12 years at the club and only recently has there been a postponement which could see him known as a former United player from next Saturday.

Manchester United are at a crucial stage in negotiations with Chelsea over top midfielder Mason Mount.

United’s third offer for the Englishman was rejected by the Blues, despite Mount’s contract having one year left. The club offered £55m with Chelsea hoping for a further £10m.

Mount wants to go and Chelsea knows it. MEN Sports is aware technical director John Murtough has “hands tied” over United’s finances. Erik ten Hag also needs a new striker to strengthen his squad this summer.

United could reportedly be looking elsewhere following Chelsea’s recent setback. It has been stressed that although the 24-year-old is their main target, Ten Hag has other options in mind.

Manchester United are aiming for other targets like Moises Caicedo after a standoff with Chelsea over Mason Mount, The Times reports.

United offered £55m, which was turned down by Chelsea, who wanted £65m despite Mount having a year left on his contract. United are tight on their budget and are reluctant to bid higher.

Therefore, the report says they are looking at the Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder, who would cost significantly more than Mount.

Bayern Munich want to hijack Manchester United’s bid for Mason Mount, reports The Guardian. Three offers from United were rejected.

Mount is admired by Thomas Tuchel, who worked together on Stamford Bridge. With United struggling to find an agreement, the article states that Bayern see Mount as a possible option for rebuilding.
