Manchester United&nbsp;are ready to start the new season just one month after&nbsp;their&nbsp;Europa League&nbsp;semi-final defeat to&nbsp;Sevilla. They have managed to add to the&nbsp;squad by signing Donny van de Beek from Ajax, but&nbsp;United are going into the season without the priority transfer target coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was after&nbsp;– a right-sided attacker by the name of&nbsp;Jadon Sancho. It’s possible Sancho could arrive before the October 5 deadline but&nbsp;it is more likely that the club will have to settle for an alternative.&nbsp;Either way, they are going to have to get a move on with negotiations. Right now,&nbsp;United are starting the season with basically the same squad as last season.

Crystal Palace are expected to ease off their pursuit of&nbsp;Said Benrahma in order to find another goalscorer, claims <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/12698690/crystal-palace-benrahma-hodgson-brentford-transfer/" target="_blank">The Sun</a>. The Algeria winger enjoyed his most prolific campaign with the boot last term as the Bees reached the Championship play-off final. But Roy Hodgson reportedly wants to focus on bringing in another outright striker instead for the new season, having already added&nbsp;Michy Batshuayi on loan from Chelsea.

Palace cool on Benrahma pursuit

West Ham and Aston Villa are among the sides leading the chase to capture Danny Rose as the England man looks to leave Tottenham, says <a href="https://le10sport.com/football/mercato/exclu-mercato-psg-danny-rose-pour-remplacer-juan-bernat-la-reponse-518883" target="_blank">Le10Sport</a>. But the left-back will not be heading to Paris Saint-Germain, with the Ligue 1 club reportedly out of the running for his services. Italian club Genoa remain linked and in discussions too for a move for the 30-year-old.

PSG out of Rose running

Brentford have turned down multiple bids from Arsenal for goalkeeper David Raya in the £10m (€11m/$13m) range, per <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/sep/17/brentford-goalkeeper-arsenal-david-raya-transfer-window-bids-rejected?CMP=share_btn_tw" target="_blank">The Guardian</a>. The Bees are refusing to budge on their stance that the 25-year-old is not for sale, despite the Gunners' overtures. Mikel Arteta saw nominal number two&nbsp;Emiliano Martinez head to Aston Villa earlier this month, forcing the club into the market.
