Man United transfer news LIVE: Mason Greenwood ‘final decision’ as two signings eyed before transfer window closes

Premier League season preview: Man Utd
Erik ten Hag has welcomed three new additions to his squad this summer, but the Manchester United boss is demanding further signings in what remains of the transfer window.

The Red Devils have splashed out £179million already, and recouping some of those funds is possible over the coming weeks through player sales.

Ten Hag’s dream 22-man Man Utd squad with Greenwood decision and two signings

United are targeting three further additions, with a defensive-minded midfielder the priority at Old Trafford.

Fiorentina’s Sofyan Amrabat has been highlighted as the top target in that department, with Southampton’s Romeo Lavia also a consideration – though he appears Liverpool-bound.

Signing a goalkeeper to play second fiddle to new signing Andre Onana is also on the ‘to-do’ list for Ten Hag, with a young central defender also viewed as an important acquisition.

In contrast, Harry Maguire, Dean Henderson and Scott McTominay are among the numerous players linked with leaving the club this summer. Express Sport will keep you up to date with all the latest United transfer news…

Harry Maguire deal agreed
West Ham have reportedly reached an agreement to sign Harry Maguire from Manchester United.

According to The Athletic, West Ham’s £30million bid for the defender has now been accepted.

Maguire was previously reluctant to join West Ham this summer and had insisted that he wanted to stay and fight for his place in Erik ten Hag’s starting eleven.

However, the Hammers appear to have convinced the 30-year-old of their project as personal terms are no longer expected to be an issue.

Gareth Southgate is said to have been in contact with Maguire and indicated to him that failing to play regularly for United will impact his place in England’s international squad.

Henderson move on hold due to bizarre reason
Manchester United goalkeeper Dean Henderson has reportedly not joined Nottingham Forest yet due to an injury.

The 26-year-old tore his hamstring whilst on loan at the club in January which required surgery. However, it is a thigh injury that is holding up transfer talks, reports The Sun.

Forest are keen to sign the England international, despite the imminent arrival of Matt Turner from Arsenal, but their ‘strenuous medical’ could aggravate the issue and cause further damage.

Dean Henderson

Besiktas have launched a move for Manchester United defender Eric Bailly.

The Turkish giants are hoping to land the centre-back by the end of the week after jumping ahead of Al Nassr in the race for the Ivorian’s signature.

Manchester United are pushing the player towards the Old Trafford exit door and there has been strong interest from Saudi Arabia. They are yet to agree a deal with any club, however.

Besiktas are also set to wrap up the signing of free agent Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain following his release from Liverpool. The all-action midfielder is due to undergo a medical ahead of his move to Istanbul.

Fred interested reignited
Fulham are set to reignite their interest in Fred before the summer transfer window concludes, Sky Sports report.

It’s claimed that Marco Silva is a big fan of the Manchester United midfielder, who is expected to leave Old Trafford this summer.

The Red Devils £20m asking price was deemed too steep earlier this summer by Fulham, but they are ready to try and negotiate again.

Several Saudi Arabian sides, as well as Galatasaray, are also interested in the Brazil international.

Greenwood ‘final decision’ on exit
Manchester United have reportedly decided against releasing Mason Greenwood this summer.

The Sun report that the academy graduate has stepped up his training in hope of returning to football, with the United squad and Erik ten Hag open to his return.

A Sun source said: “Mason is working harder than ever on the training pitch. He’s desperate to return to the side as soon as possible and wants to put the last 18 months behind him.

“Talks about his future are in the final phase and the ­players and the manager are behind him. The only thing that remains to be decided is whether he returns to first-team action or goes out on a season-long loan.”
