Manchester United have been handed a big boost on the injury front ahead of their Premier League clash at home to Fulham on Tuesday following the news that Welsh international Daniel James and Frenchman Anthony Martial are in contention after they both returned to training.
Premier League giants Manchester United would have to pay £35m to sign Brighton and Hove Albion defender Ben White according to the publication from The Sun. The Red Devils are in the market for a new central defender and White is said to be at the forefront of the centre back transfer options at Old Trafford.
Juventus sporting director Fabio Paratici has casted a shadow of doubt on the club being able to offer petite forward Paolo Dybala a new deal at the club. Dybala has previously been linked with a move to Manchester United.
Three-time European champions Manchester United have lined up a summer move for Watford winger Ismaila Sarr. This is according to the report from the Daily Express which revealed that the Red Devils see Sarr as the alternative for number one target Jadon Sancho as far as reinforcement for the right wing positon at the club is concerned. Manchester United have tried and failed to sign Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund in the German Bundesliga over the last two seasons and the club is expected to try again this summer especially if they are not able to sign his Dortmund teammate Erling Haaland.
Manchester United midfielder Donny Van De Beekis reportedly set to hold showdown talks with chief executive Ed Woodward on his situation at the club this season. According to the Daily Star, Van De Beek will meet with the Manchester United official to discuss why he has been ignored by manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in his debut season at the club. It was revealed that the player could leave Old Trafford after just one season with the Red Devils. Donny Van De Beek was the biggest signing for Manchester United last summer when the club paid around £38m for his transfer from Dutch club Ajax Amsterdam but his dream move to the Premier League has turned into a nightmare as he rarely features for his team. Van De Beek has been restricted to just two starts under Solskjaer this season and his situation is not likely to get better between now and the rest of the season with the Red Devils fighting for honours in three competitions namely the Premier League, Europa League and the FA Cup.
The most optimistic of Manchester United fans will find it hard to believe that the club can win the Premier League title this season. This is mainly due to the excellent form shown by city rivals and Premier League leaders Manchester City and the inconsistent form of their team. Manchester United were at the Premier League summit many weeks ago but they have not been able to maintain that position on the league standings. While Manchester United have managed to implode from a fantastic position at the top of the table, Manchester City have remained consistent thereby opening up a ten-point lead after 25 games in the league. Manchester City have opened a significant advantage at the Premier League summit with the help of a fantastic winning run. The Citizens have won their last 18 games in all competitions, including 13 wins on the bounce in the league. The last of those wins came on Sunday evening when Raheem Sterling scored the only goal of the match in what was a 1-0 away win over Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. Manchester City had moved 13 points clear of the Red Devils with the win over the Gunners but Manchester United were able to reduce the gap back to ten points.
During the entirety of the last summer transfer window, a host of players were linked to Manchester United after several reports emerged that the club were in need of replacements for underperforming members of the squad and to also add up squad numbers. Both the ones that the club genuinely had interest to sign and the ones that were never in the picture were all touted as potential transfer targets but, in the end, some of those players were never mentioned anymore.
