Manchester United’s sweeping revolution under Sir Jim Ratcliffe has taken another bold step, with the club confirming the appointment of Stephen Torpey as their new academy director.

Nottingham Forest are reportedly going all in for Manchester City’s versatile young star Rico Lewis. Determined to pull off one of the summer’s most audacious moves, Forest have promised the 20-year-old both a guaranteed starting role and a salary package that would double his current wages, as revealed by talkSPORT. Lewis himself is open to the switch, with Forest pushing to seal an agreement with City before their European campaign kicks into gear.
Newcastle United are set to go back in for Yoane Wissa after Brentford agreed a £37 million ($50m) fee to sign Dango Ouattara from Bournemouth.

The Magpies have been linked with a move for Wissa, but the Bees had made it clear that they won't sell the forward for less than £40 million.

After a long transfer saga, the Cameroonian completed his move to Old Trafford as the Red Devils agreed to pay £71 million ($95.5m) to Brentford. Mbeumo had also attracted strong interest from Tottenham and Newcastle, but he chose to join United.
