Manchester United appear to hold an early advantage over Arsenal in the race to sign Manu Kone, with the Roma and France midfielder eyeing a step up and eager to test himself in the Premier League following an emotional World Cup exit.

Manchester United goalkeeper Radek Vitek has signaled his readiness to leave Old Trafford this summer, insisting he is prepared to establish himself as a first-choice option elsewhere. The 22-year-old is coming off a productive loan spell and believes the time is right to step out of the shadows at the Theatre of Dreams.

Manchester United face a nervous wait over the fitness of Lisandro Martinez after the defender was forced off during Argentina’s World Cup final defeat to Spain. The centre-back, a vital component of both his club and national side, was unable to complete the first half of the prestigious tournament decider in New Jersey.

Manchester United have bolstered their attacking options for the future by completing the signing of highly-rated winger Tynan Thompson from Tottenham Hotspur. The 18-year-old moves to Old Trafford in a deal worth a reported £8 million including performance-related add-ons.
