Criacao Shinjuku Overview

Marcus Rashford has been left out of Manchester United's pre-season squad to face Atletico Madrid in Stockholm as he completes a mandatory rest period following the World Cup. The forward is taking his three-week post-tournament break after representing England in North America, keeping him sidelined from early friendly preparations.

Manchester United are actively exploring a blockbuster player-plus-cash swap deal to sign Juventus winger Francisco Conceicao this summer. The Premier League side are reportedly prepared to offer €30 million alongside out-of-favour Dutch striker Joshua Zirkzee to secure the highly-rated Portugal international's signature.

Manchester United are ready to test Newcastle United's resolve with a £60m opening proposal for left-back Lewis Hall, who has been greenlit as a primary target by the Old Trafford hierarchy. Following a tumultuous summer window, the Magpies are facing a challenge in retaining the England international.

Former Manchester United star Daley Blind has been hailed as "the new Jordan Henderson" following his return to Ajax. Ex-Ajacied Hedwiges Maduro believes the veteran defender's leadership and coaching on the pitch will prove vital for the Dutch giants.
