Five Manchester United players have put in transfer requests this summer as the Red Devils continue to rebuild their squad under Ruben Amorim. Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia have all indicated their desire to pursue opportunities elsewhere, throwing a curveball into United's pre-season plans.
A deal for Manchester United to sign Bryan Mbeumo is reportedly nearing completion, with the Red Devils aware of Brentford's demands for the Cameroonian.
Newcastle United have stepped up their efforts to secure the services of Nottingham Forest winger Anthony Elanga, lodging a substantial £55 million (€64m/$75m) offer for the 23-year-old. The bid comes after Aston Villa also joined the chase for the Swedish international, adding competition for the Magpies, in what could become one of the most fiercely contested transfer sagas of the summer.
Manchester United legend Nemanja Vidic revealed the name of one Red Devils colleague he had a training ground bust-up with during his stint at Old Trafford. The Serbian defender joined the English giants in 2006 from Spartak Moscow and spent eight years at the club where he won multiple trophies, including five Premier League titles and a Champions League trophy.
Manchester United are working behind the scenes to resolve the future of Alejandro Garnacho, with reports suggesting the club has reached out to intermediaries to determine whether Chelsea still harbour interest in signing the 21-year-old winger. The forward has already been told by manager Ruben Amorim that he has no future at Old Trafford and must seek a fresh challenge elsewhere.
