Manchester United players already reporting back to Carrington this morning as Erik ten Hag takes charge of training for the first time as manager of the club amid a series of transfer news linked to the club this summer.
15 players, including some well-known names, are anticipated to return for the start of preseason practice today. It’s anticipated that players like David de Gea, Luke Shaw, Donny van de Beek, Jadon Sancho, and Marcus Rashford will participate.
Before the United tour Thailand and Australia, the remaining members of the squad who have participated in recent international matches will join up with the team.
There won’t be any new recruits among the ranks, despite the fact that a large portion of the present squad will be reporting back today.
While Christian Eriksen is anticipated to decide on his future shortly, United are still trying to sign their first new player of the summer, with sources indicating they may be closing in on Frenkie de Jong.
Manchester United Latest Transfer News
Ronaldo to Chelsea Saga
Despite rumors linking the Portugal star with a spectacular transfer to Chelsea, Cristiano Ronaldo is not for sale, and Manchester United expects him to stay at Old Trafford.
Ronaldo may wish to go, according to rumors, as a result of United’s inability to make the Champions League and its lack of signings thus far this summer.
Although Ronaldo was brought up during a meeting between his agency Jorge Mendes and Chelsea’s new co-owner Todd Boehly last week, new United manager Erik ten Hag has confirmed that Ronaldo is a part of his future plans.
Frankie De Jong deal in progress
There is growing optimism that a deal to sign midfielder Frenkie de Jong for Manchester United and Barcelona will soon be reached.
Value has been the main topic of discussion, and both teams are reportedly getting closer to a compromise.
United Trying to Land Eriksen
Christian Eriksen, Denmark international, is still a target for United.
The player himself will ultimately decide whether to accept the agreement that is on the table with his representatives.
According to rumors, Eriksen will decide between United and Brentford.
Man Utd learn the asking price for Antony
Ajax winger Antony is apparently available for Manchester United to purchase for about £70 million before the new Premier League season begins.
The 22-year-old has been connected to the Red Devils for some time, but The Mirror reports that they will have to pay a huge sum of money to get his services.
Antony thrived at Ajax last season under Erik ten Hag’s direction and is rumored to be interested in joining United, although it is unclear whether a deal can be reached at the club level.
Man Utd is prepared to run in the De Ligt race.
In the summer transfer market for Juventus center-back Matthijs de Ligt, Manchester United is “ready to forcefully join the picture.”
Erik ten Hag is reportedly leading the quest to sign the 22-year-old before Chelsea joined the fray, according to Corriere dello Sport.
The Blues, though, are reportedly in the lead after their initial offer of £38.8 million plus Timo Werner was turned down.
Ten Hag’s “strong” desire for De Ligt “might open an auction,” with a bid of between £69 million and £77.6 million possibly being sufficient to win his contract.
Man Utd gets hope of landing Malacia
Tyrell Malacia, a left defender for Feyenoord, could now be acquired by Manchester United thanks to claims that a deal has been reached with Lyon.
Telegraaf claims that Malacia’s transfer to Ligue 1 is not yet final and that reports of a signed contract are unreliable.
Feyenoord wants approximately £12.9 million guaranteed, but Lyon has only so far agreed to pay that amount with the aid of bonuses.
After landing his top target, Frenkie de Jong, Erik ten Hag wants to sign the dynamic 22-year-old, and it still appears to be a competitive market.
Man United turn down swap offer for captain Harry Maguire
According to rumors, Manchester United has turned down Barcelona’s bid to trade for Harry Maguire.
According to The Sun, Barca was interested in acquiring Maguire as part of a trade for Frenkie de Jong, but United officials rejected the notion.
United would want to trade De Jong for outright cash, which is now allegedly a done deal.
The Dutchman is anticipated to sign a £69 million deal to Old Trafford.
Man Utd consider Tagliafico
According to The Mail, Manchester United is interested in signing Nicolas Tagliafico.
The Red Devils are also interested in Lisandro Martinez and Antony, two players who Erik ten Hag favored while playing for Ajax, although Tagliafico also appears to be on their radar.
Since his contract expires in 2023, the Amsterdam giants are willing to contemplate a sale.
Tyrell Malacia, who is expected to pay roughly £12 million to join Lyon, appears to have slipped past United.
