Manchester United are reportedly ready to match Newcastle's €80 million (£69.8m) bid for RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko, with both Premier League clubs now awaiting the player’s decision. RB Leipzig rejected the Magpies’ initial offer due to its structure, while United are preparing their own proposal amid growing optimism a deal can be struck soon.
Alejandro Garnacho has been frozen out of Manchester United's first-team plans by Ruben Amorim, and the Portuguese coach has insisted that the decision is not personal. The Argentine has been training separately from the main squad and is now expected to leave the Red Devils, with Chelsea and Aston Villa showing strong interest in signing the winger this summer.
Former Manchester United manager Ron Atkinson has leapt to the defence of Bruno Fernandes, insisting the midfielder is unfairly criticised and would be just as effective as Kevin De Bruyne had he joined Manchester City instead of the Red Devils. Atkinson also backed Fernandes’ tendency to call out team-mates, given the level he expects from them at Old Trafford.
Ruben Amorim has set his sights on a remarkable 20-year stay at Manchester United despite enduring a nightmare debut season. The Portuguese coach has thanked the club’s hierarchy for standing by him during a turbulent start and believes with time, support and luck, he can lead the Red Devils back to the top of English football after years of mediocrity.
James Maddison was seen on crutches and visibly devastated after suffering what appears to be a serious knee injury in Tottenham Hotspur’s pre-season clash with Newcastle, just days after making his comeback from a previous setback. Spurs boss Thomas Frank has revealed his fear that it is a recurrence of the same issue that sidelined him at the end of last season.
Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has come under fire for a rash foul on Everton midfielder Iliman Ndiaye during the pre-season 2-2 draw in Atlanta, with fans branding him 'one of the most unlikeable players on earth' after the ugly scuffle that followed. The heated clash overshadowed what had been an entertaining friendly between the Premier League sides.
Bruno Fernandes has addressed Manchester United’s sweeping cost-cutting measures under Sir Jim Ratcliffe, stating “a lot of people have suffered” and calling on the squad to show accountability on the pitch. The United captain made the comments after a 2-2 draw with Everton in Atlanta, as INEOS completed another round of job cuts at the end of the last season.
Alexander Isak has returned to Newcastle United’s training ground following a controversial solo stint in Spain at Real Sociedad's training centre, with crunch talks now expected between the striker and manager Eddie Howe. The Swedish star had skipped the club’s pre-season tour amid intense interest from Liverpool, and their eventual bid for the highly-rated striker.
Virgil van Dijk has admitted it has been a "surreal" time for Liverpool’s players following the tragic death of Diogo Jota, but says the squad is united in their desire to honour their late team-mate’s legacy. Jota and his brother were killed in a car accident while returning to pre-season training last month in an incident that brought the footballing world together in mourning.
Manchester United are pushing to hijack Newcastle’s move for Benjamin Sesko, with both English clubs locked in a high-stakes transfer battle. The RB Leipzig striker has reportedly told both sides that he is open to joining them, adding fresh intrigue to one of the summer’s most tightly-contested sagas that looks set to be drawn out into the start of the Premier League season.
