Manchester United’s summer transfer window is fast approaching, with the club expected to strengthen their squad after securing Champions League football. Atalanta star Ederson has been linked with a move to Old Trafford. Reports claim the midfielder could be one of United’s first signings this summer.
Advanced Talks with Ederson
United continue in their efforts to sign Ederson. Fabrizio Romano claims that talks between the Reds and Ederson are ‘advanced’.
However, one of the reasons a deal has not yet been given the green light is because Atalanta’s new sporting director has not officially joined the club yet.
Other Transfer Targets
There has also been an update on the future of Sandro Tonali, with the Newcastle midfielder also being linked with a move to United this summer.
Reports have also suggested that United may have the chance to sign AC Milan star Rafael Leao for a lower fee than originally expected.
Morgan Rogers could become the subject of fresh transfer interest from Arsenal with the Premier League champions reportedly ‘ready to step up their interest’ in the Aston Villa star.
Radio station talkSPORT claims that ‘preliminary talks’ have already taken place with the advisors of Rogers, who has been linked with United and Chelsea.
Rogers will not come cheap, with a price tag in the region of £100m expected to be the price Villa will demand for the 23-year-old.
Tonali Update
It was claimed in his native Italy that Tonali has held talks with Arsenal over a potential move. ChronicleLive, has reported that no such discussions have taken place.
Fernandes Praised Amid Keane Feud
Bruno Fernandes’ work rate and captaincy have been lauded amid his ongoing feud with Roy Keane, reports Scott Trotter.
Former Manchester United defender Phil Bardsley has described the midfielder’s efforts as ‘out of this world’ after helping the club return to the Champions League.
Fernandes broke the Premier League assist record on the final day of the season as United defeated Brighton, having equalled the mark set by Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne a week before against Nottingham Forest.
Rashford’s Barcelona Loan
Barcelona have reportedly made a “final” decision regarding the future of Marcus Rashford, and it’s one Manchester United may not like. Rashford has spent the season on loan at the Spanish giants, having previously expressed a desire to leave Old Trafford just last summer.
The summer transfer window is fast approaching after United have officially completed their Premier League season on Sunday afternoon.
