      Man Utd on brink of Edinson Cavani transfer and think veteran can echo Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s impact

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED are on the brink of landing Edinson Cavani on a free transfer.
      And club insiders are convinced the Uruguay striker can have a similar impact on the club as cult hero Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

      Cavani, 33, was released by Paris Saint-Germain in June and is due in Manchester on Sunday ahead of agreeing a two-year contract worth about £200,000-a-week.
      As long as he passes the medical there should be no problems finalising a deal because both parties are determined to make it happen.
      Some fans are already voicing fears that the move will see the club plunge into a financial fiasco like the one that cost £66million in wages for flop Alexis Sanchez.
      But sources insist the top brass view it more like the move that saw Ibrahimovic become a terrace idol.

      Cavani’s wages will be half the salary Sanchez was on — and he is said to be desperate to prove himself in England.
      And United believe he will be a  boost to the development of their young strikers.
      He joined PSG from Napoli seven years ago and his 200 goals made him the club’s leading scorer.
      Atletico Madrid, Benfica and Inter Miami had all expressed an interest in him, but could not meet his wage demands.

      And while United will pay top dollar in salary, it is a far cry from the £108m Borussia Dortmund demanded for first-choice target Jadon Sancho.
      Last night Dortmund’s sporting director Michael Zorc insisted Sancho was going nowhere.
      The England winger was missing from the squad for Saturday’s 4-0 win over Freiburg.
      But Zorc told Sky: “Jadon  is our player and he’s got a long-term contract with us.
      “He was ill — there’s no transfers reason, that’s why Jadon is not playing.”

      Edinson Cavani ‘agrees Man Utd transfer’ with ex-PSG star set to sign two-year deal

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED have reportedly agreed a two-year contract with striker Edinson Cavani.
      The 33-year-old is a free agent having left Paris Saint-Germain in the summer.

      Now, according to ESPN, the Uruguayan will pull on United’s famous red shirt after agreeing terms.
      Cavani is set to fly to Manchester from Paris on Sunday to complete a medical.
      The deal is likely to be officially announced either later that day or Monday.
      Atletico Madrid, Benfica and Inter Miami were interested in the Uruguayan striker.

      But his reported demands of £210,000-week and a two-year contract proved a stumbling block.
      Meanwhile United have made a stuttering start to the season and have lacked that killer touch up top.
      Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood have so far failed to match their post-restart form.
      United have previously tried to sign Cavani when David Moyes was in charge in 2014, but that proved fruitless.

      He has also been linked with an equally-sensational move to Premier League new-boys Leeds.
      He netted 200 goals in 301 appearances for PSG before deciding to end his time with the French giants this summer.
      United’s top target was believed to be Jadon Sancho, but the Cavani signing may mean the Premier League giants have accepted defeat.

      Man Utd transfer chase of Barcelona’s Ousmane Dembele hots up as Ronald Koeman admits ‘his future depends on him’

      by

      RONALD KOEMAN has hinted Ousmane Dembele could depart Barcelona for Manchester United as he stated the future is in his hands.
      The 23-year-old has been heavily linked with a switch to Old Trafford on a loan deal, with the forward seen as an alternative to Jadon Sancho.

      It has been claimed that Paul Pogba has been trying to convince his French compatriot to swap LaLiga for the Premier League.
      Negotiations are said to be progressing well, with L’Equipe stating the World Cup winner is ‘enthusiastic’ about joining Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side.
      And Barca boss Koeman has now revealed that Dembele could be on his way out of the Nou Camp – three years after he joined from Borussia Dortmund.
      He told reporters in Spain: “He [Dembele] is a Barca player.

      “His future depends on what he thinks.
      “I haven’t spoken to him about his future. We’ll see.
      “I want to have happy people here, if they [players] aren’t happy because they don’t play, they can speak to me.
      “Dembele hasn’t told me anything. If nothing happens, I’m counting on him and he will have options [to play].”

      As well as a move for Dembele, United have also been linked with bringing Edinson Cavani to the Theatre of Dreams.
      The Uruguay striker is available on a free transfer having run his contract down at Paris Saint-Germain.
      It has been claimed that the 33-year-old has held talks with United, who wants a two-year contract and a weekly wage of £210,000.

      Edinson Cavani transfer to Man Utd takes step closer and 33-year-old free agent ‘could fly to UK TODAY’

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED are reportedly close to sealing a sensational deal to sign free-agent Edinson Cavani.
      And the former Paris Saint-Germain striker could fly into the UK today to seal the deal.

      MailOnline reports that United ‘are holding talks’ with the 33-year-old and that his signing ‘would make economic and sporting sense’.
      Clubs’ finances across the spectrum have been hit by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and subsequent restrictions.
      Atletico Madrid, Benfica and Inter Miami are all interested in the Uruguayan striker.

      But his reported demands of £210,000-week and a two-year contract are proving difficult for those three teams to meet.
      Meanwhile United have made a stuttering start to the season and have lacked that killer touch up top.
      Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood don’t appear to have hit the ground running so far.
      United have previously tried to sign Cavani when David Moyes was in charge in 2014, but that proved fruitless.

      He has also been linked with an equally-sensational move to Premier League new-boys Leeds.

      He netted 200 goals in 301 appearances for PSG before deciding to end his time with the French giants this summer.
      United’s top target remains Jadon Sancho.
      But with the days ticking down until the international transfer window slams shut, United have been unable to agree on a fee with his club Borussia Dortmund.
      Barcelona’s wantaway winger Ousmane Dembele has emerged as a possible alternative, with a loan deal mooted.
      Porto left-back Alex Telles is also believed to be a transfer target, but again the two clubs can’t agree on a fee.

      Rio Ferdinand slams Man Utd’s ‘frustrating’ transfer window and says top four is best they will do without new signings

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED legend Rio Ferdinand has slammed the club’s transfer business this window and claimed top four will be the best they can aim for.
      The 41-year-old has spoken of his frustration of the Red Devils’ lack of recruits with Donny van de Beek the only arrival to Old Trafford so far.

      United are yet to make a breakthrough with Borussia Dortmund in their pursuit of Jadon Sancho with BVB holding out for £108million.
      Meanwhile they are haggling over the £18m fee Porto are demanding for left-back Alex Telles.
      And with the window to close in two days, Ferdinand has lamented United’s transfer business.
      Speaking on BT Sport, he said: “The most frustrating thing for Man Utd fans, is that we’ve all been very aware of who the targets were at the beginning of the window.

      “That’s the frustrating element. You look at it, is Covid playing a part in the financials? There’s purse strings having to be pulled a little bit.
      “We saw left-back and right-wing are the areas they are looking for but then all of a sudden the season starts, the players haven’t been brought in.
      “All of a sudden a defeat to Palace at home absolutely ignites the negativity that surrounds the place and makes it a situation it never was.
      “We rewind two months previous, everyone was saying, ‘Well done, Ole’. Got them into Champions League position, the club’s on this upward trajectory now and two months – because there’s not been the signings and a first defeat of the season at home – really changes the picture massively for the club.”

      Asked whether he believes United can challenge for the Premier League title without any new additions, Ferdinand grimly predicted: “No.
      “Not in my eyes. Champions League will be the target for me realistically.”
      Sancho has been the No1 priority for United this window, but Dortmund have stated that the winger will not be leaving Germany.
      Dortmund chief Michael Zorc said on Friday: “Of course we communicated with Manchester United in the past.
      “But everything there is to tell on this matter from our end has already been said.
      “And that won’t change over the next three days.”

      Solskjaer admits he was wrong to say Man Utd could ‘exploit’ Coronavirus pandemic as boss faces more transfer window woe

      by

      OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER admits he was wrong to say Manchester United would ‘exploit’ the Covid-19 economic situation as they face more transfer woe.
      Borussia Dortmund will not budge on their £108million asking price for Jadon Sancho before Monday’s deadline.

      Solskjaer urged his board, who have spent just £35m on Donny van de Beek, to take advantage of the pandemic in April but was forced into a U-turn yesterday.
      He said: “My wording in lockdown, ‘exploit’, was a bad word by me.
      “I didn’t mean it in that respect, I meant there might be clubs and players out there who have to move because of the situation and it might be something interesting.
      “At the moment we’ve not had those situations.

      “We’ve lost loads of money, as the other clubs have as well.
      “And when I talk about squad depth, we’ve got a big squad.
      “Of course the transfer window is still open for a little while and the club has been working hard.
      “They know my view and that’s that we’re here to strengthen it, in the long term as well.”

      United, who host Spurs tomorrow, have failed to land England and Dortmund winger Sancho following a summer-long pursuit.
      The Bundesliga club are refusing the offer from Old Trafford of £70m rising to £100m.
      Dortmund sporting chief Michael Zorc said yesterday: “Everything there is to tell on this matter from our end has already been said.
      “And that won’t change over the next three days.”

      Man Utd steal 600-goal wonderkid Charlie McNeill from rivals Man City as Red Devils confirm shock £750k transfer

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED have pinched wonderkid Charlie McNeill from rivals Man City – with the Red Devils confirming the shock £750,000 move.
      The Old Trafford giants have confirmed the arrival of TWO new forwards to their Under-18s squad.

      As well as ex-City star McNeill, United welcome former Atletico Madrid youngster Alejandro Garnacho in a double-swoop with one eye on the future.
      Garnacho has already completed his self-isolation period and is ready to get down to work, according to Man Utd.
      And “prolific” McNeill is also set to start training immediately following his transfer – which was revealed by SunSport last month.
      In a statement, United revealed: “Manchester United can confirm the signing of two new additions at Under-18s level.

      “Forwards Alejandro Garnacho and Charlie McNeill have joined the club’s academy from Atletico Madrid and Manchester City respectively.
      “Garnacho, 16, mainly featured in Atletico Madrid’s Juvenil B side last season but also appeared for their Under-19s team.
      “The Spaniard, who can operate up front as well as on both wings, has completed a period of self-isolation after arriving from the Spanish capital and can now begin training with his new team-mates.
      “McNeill is a 17-year-old striker who has represented England up to Under-16s level and was a prolific goalscorer during his time in Manchester City’s younger age-groups.”

      McNeill has been a true superstar at youth level, scoring more than 600 goals.
      The youngster rejected a professional contract at the Etihad before moving across Manchester to join United.
      Juventus and RB Leipzig had also been heavily linked with a move for McNeill.

      Arsenal legend Arsene Wenger reveals holding talks over Man Utd manager job

      by

      ARSENAL’S legendary former manager Arsene Wenger was offered the job at Manchester United.
      The Gunners icon revealed he had a chance to take the Old Trafford gig… but refused to say when.

      The 70-year-old also had talks with some of Europe’s other big clubs – including Juventus, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
      And when French Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint Germain were mentioned in Wenger’s interview with the Times, he said: “I was offered that job a few times.”
      Wenger also had the chance to manage the French national team but asked whether he was offered the Man Utd job as well, he responded: “Yes.”
      Le Professeur’s Arsenal team were United’s biggest Premier League rivals when Sir Alex Ferguson was in charge.
      But he refused to be pressed on exactly when he was offered the chance to take charge.
      He said: “I don’t tell you that.
      “But I can tell you Man Utd offered me the job but I don’t tell you when.”

      Wenger is currently Fifa’s head of global football development and says he has “no contact” with Arsenal anymore – unlike Ferguson who was given a board position at United after he retired.

      And despite a previous desire to get back into management, the former Monaco and Nancy boss has had a change of heart.
      He said: “I’m not sure. For 40 years I did only that every day in my life.”
      And he seems to be filling his newfound spare time wisely, adding: “Sport. Visiting my family and friends. Holidays. Reading a lot.

      “Enjoying life but in a sensible way, because I’m a little bit drilled by 30, 40 years of discipline, you know?”
      Wenger was in charge of the Gunners for 22 years, during which time he won three Premier League titles and seven FA Cup crowns.
      But by the end of his reign, fans were on the Frenchman’s back after 14 years without a title with the side looking further and further away from challenging.
      And he admitted he may have “been Arsenal boss too long”.
      Wenger added: “Maybe I stayed too long… I don’t know.
      “But I was committed like on the first day.
      “I think I guided the club through the most difficult period in a very successful way.
      “At some stage people say you’re too old, but they don’t really look at what you do.
      “I served the club as much as I could.”
