Manchester United and England legend Wayne Rooney is set to feature as a pundit in the season's first BBC Match of the Day programme this Saturday in the post-Gary Lineker. Lineker announced last year he would be stepping down as presenter of Match of the Day when the 2024-25 Premier League campaign ended. Former understudy Mark Chapman is one of three presenters who will host the show moving forward.
Manchester United's Alejandro Garnacho has been spotted holding a vape while getting a new tattoo. The 21-year-old, who has fallen out of favour under Ruben Amorim, is waiting to see if a move to Chelsea materialises before the transfer window closes. This comes just two years after a similar vaping controversy involving the Argentine.
Alejandro Garnacho has fuelled speculation over his Manchester United future by sharing a cryptic social media post amid ongoing talks over a £50 million ($67m) move to Chelsea. The 21-year-old, who has reportedly already agreed personal terms with the Blues, gave credence to an imminent switch by posting a gym photo alongside an hourglass emoji.
Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim saw the lighter side when a fan cheekily asked him if the Red Devils were signing Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma this summer. The Portuguese coach, who has already overseen several new arrivals at Old Trafford, chuckled at the question but offered no confirmation as transfer speculation continues to swirl.
AC Milan have made contact with Manchester United over a potential loan deal for Rasmus Hojlund, with discussions via intermediaries ongoing over a €6 million loan fee, €45m buy option, and full salary coverage. However, the Danish striker is yet to agree to leave, insisting he wants to fight for his place at Old Trafford despite falling down the pecking order.
Ruben Amorim has welcomed the possibility of a selection headache after praising Mason Mount's "unbelievable" performance in Manchester United's pre-season victory over Fiorentina.
Carlos Baleba missed Brighton's third consecutive pre-season friendly match against Wolfsburg on Saturday amid transfer links to Manchester United. The Red Devils have shown interest in the highly-rated young midfielder and they reportedly even tried to offer players in exchange to secure a transfer. Brighton, on the other hand, have maintained that they won't sell Baleba this summer.
Manchester United won on penalties but were held to a 1-1 draw by Fiorentina in their final pre-season friendly as Bryan Mbeumo shone the brightest amid a lacklustre attacking unit.
Manchester United have reportedly shown interest in Internacional's young forward, Ricardo Mathias, following a scouting mission this week. According to Globo Esporte, the Premier League club sent an official scout to observe the 19-year-old in action during Internacional’s Copa do Brasil match against Fluminense at the Maracana Stadium. Although Internacional was eliminated after the 1-1 draw, the performance of their rising star did not go unnoticed by potential suitors.
Manchester United defender Luke Shaw has reportedly been left disgruntled after failing to make manager Ruben Amorim’s newly formed six-man leadership group. The squad hierarchy, headed by club captain Bruno Fernandes, also includes Harry Maguire, Noussair Mazraoui, Lisandro Martinez, Diogo Dalot, and veteran goalkeeper Tom Heaton.
