      Man Utd ‘agree personal terms with Sofyan Amrabat as they look to pull off shock transfer for Fiorentina star’

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED have agreed personal terms with Sofyan Amrabat, reports in Italy say. Amrabat attracted attention from across Europe after shining for Morocco in the winter World Cup.
      Sofyan Amrabat is linked with a move away from Fiorentina
      Liverpool were among those interested in the midfielder, who made 49 appearances last season.
      But according to Violanews, United have an agreement in place with the player but must come to a transfer fee with Fiorentina.
      On the contrary, transfer guru Fabrizio Romano told The United Stand that NO agreement has been made between club and player.
      But he claimed United did look at Amrabat as an option in January.

      His club future was in doubt in June when he left Morocco’s national squad.
      Amrabat played in last month’s goalless friendly draw with Cape Verde but he was absent for for the Africa Cup of Nations qualifying defeat to South Africa.

      Morocco manager Walid Regragui later revealed why Amrabat was not involved and hinted the star could be about to leave Fiorentina.
      He said: “I decided to let him go.

      “He’s played a lot of games this year, I wouldn’t want to risk that, especially as he’ll be signing for a new club soon.”
      Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have also been linked with Amrabat this summer.
      And his agent recently said Fiorentina are open to the idea of letting him go, but only if a suitable offer is received.

      Manchester United bosses to rule on Mason Greenwood’s future this month as footballer readies for major life change

      by

      MANCHESTER United are about to make a decision on whether to keep hold of suspended England striker Mason Greenwood.The Premier League giants will rule this month on whether to restore the 21-year-old to manager Erik ten Hag’s squad or encourage him to move elsewhere.
      A decision is looming on Mason Greenwood’s Manchester United future

      Greenwood was exiled from the Old Trafford club after being charged with sexual offences and violence against a woman after troubling images were posted online in January last year.
      He was later charged with attempted rape, assault and controlling and coercive behaviour, but the CPS dropped its case in February.
      The £75,000-a-week star has been suspended on full pay but has been undergoing private one-to-one coaching sessions at an £85-an-hour public pitch – and expects to hear very soon whether he has a future at the club.
      The Sun revealed on Saturday former United boss Jose Mourinho had telephoned Greenwood to sound him out about a loan move to Italian Serie A side Roma.

      A source said: “Jose rang Mason’s dad and also spoke with Mason. He told him the best way out of his current situation is to start playing football — and that eventually all the hassle will fade away.
      “Mason was pleased that he got in touch and it has lifted his spirits.
      “He wants to get back playing and is just waiting for United to tell him what the future holds.”
      Former Red Devils defender Chris Smalling — who played with Greenwood — left Old Trafford for Roma on loan in 2019.

      United are said to have had contact with other Italian teams Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan about potential moves.
      Greenwood is set to become a dad later this month, with his partner, enjoying a baby shower with pals this weekend.
      She posed in front of a flower backdrop and was spotted hugging various friends.
      She also flashed a beaming smile while cradling her bump in front of a balloon arch.
      The couple were previously spotted at the five-star Langham Hotel in central London.
      Greenwood was given his England debut by manager Gareth Southgate as a late substitute against Iceland in September 2020, though has not played for his country since.
      Two days after the Iceland game he and Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden were withdrawn from the squad for breaching Covid guidelines by leaving the part of the hotel where they were staying.
      New photos have shown how the striker has discarded his long wavy hair in favour of a crew cut.
      A source said: “Mason hasn’t really been out for a good few months so he hasn’t really had to bother too much with his personal appearance.

      “But getting a new trim is another indication that he is going to be playing football somewhere next season.”
      Bradford-born Greenwood has scored 35 goals in 129 appearances for Manchester United, having joined the club as a six-year-old.

      Former Man Utd wonderkid in line for Premier League return – and transfer could land Ten Hag millions towards war chest

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED could be set for an unexpected windfall as one of their former youngsters looks set to return to the Premier League.Tahit Chong, 23, was hotly-tipped to succeed at United having been the first youth player since Giuseppe Rossi to win the reserve team player of the year award and young player of the year in 2019.

      But after failing to nail down a first XI place at United, Chong joined Championship club Birmingham for £1.5million last season having spent the previous season on loan at the Blues.
      He impressed in his 41 appearances last season, scoring four goals and making five assists as the club finished 17th in the Championship.
      And according to the Daily Mail, Luton Town are interested in signing Chong as they look to build a team fit for the Premier League.
      Luton have opened talks with Birmingham City ahead of a possible transfer, with manager Rob Edwards a big fan of the player.

      And United could be set for an unexpected boost to their transfer kitty as a result of Chong’s move back to the Premier League.
      The Red Devils entered a 25% sell-on-fee into their deal with Birmingham last summer, and the windfall will be a welcome boost to their summer transfer budget as they look to target the likes of Rasmus Hojlund.

      Chong made 16 first-team appearances for United having made his debut in 2019.
      After loans at Werder Bremen and Club Brugge, the Curacao-born winger ultimately joined Birmingham.

      While details of a fee are currently unclear, any boost to United’s budget will be welcomed by Ten Hag as the club’s takeover continues to drag on.
      They are set for one transfer boost in the coming days though, with Mason Mount arriving at United’s Carrington training ground today ahead of a medical at the club.
      United had a breakthrough in negotiations for the Chelsea midfielder last week as the two clubs agreed a £60m fee.
      In other news for United, David De Gea is now officially a free agent after his £375,000-a-week contract expired on Saturday.
      The club are reportedly encouraging the stopper not to sign a contract with another club as they look to negotiate a pay-cut for the keeper. More

      Man Utd fans beg ‘Jesus, bring me De Gea please’ as footage emerges of goalkeeper transfer target’s hilarious blunder

      by

      But fans have their doubts over his signing after watching a clip of the Dutch international on social media.
      In the video Bijlow almost scored an own goal while trying to pass the ball out from the back, with only the goalpost sparing his blushes.
      Erik ten Hag has been keen to bring in a keeper who is adept with the ball at his feet, and therefore an upgrade on David de Gea.
      But some supporters would rather stick with the Spaniard, whose United contract expired on Friday.

      The Sun understands the £75,000-a-week footballer plans to marry her.
      Greenwood was most recently pictured at a private training session at a public sports centre in Manchester.
      He has not played since January last year when he was arrested after a woman made allegations of physical and sexual abuse.
      He was due to stand trial this year but all the charges were dropped in February.

      Greenwood is still on the books at United, despite being suspended.
      The club is yet to make a decision on his future and is still to complete an internal investigation.
      It is unlikely the Red Devils will try to sell him during the current transfer window.
      But the home listing will fuel rumours that the £50million forward will go out on loan.
      United are said to have had contact with Italian teams Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan about a move.
      He has also reportedly been offered a football lifeline by his former boss Jose Mourinho at Roma.

      Erik Ten Hag ‘pushing Man Utd to HIJACK Arsenal’s transfer for £85m Real Madrid star Aurelian Tchouameni’

      Mikel Arteta also had cause for celebration after completing the signing of Kai Havertz in a £65m deal from Chelsea.
      Arsenal have also reportedly agreed a fee of £40m, including £4m in add-ons, for Ajax defender Jurrien Timber.
      However, we reported earlier this week how Arteta had added Madrid star Tchouameni to his transfer shortlist.
      The Spanish giants signed the 23-year-old French midfielder for £85m from Monaco last season, beating the likes of United and Liverpool to his signature.

      But Tchouameni failed to stamp his authority on Carlo Ancelotti’s team last season and is believed to be available for the right price this summer.
      Now Nacional have claimed that United have entered the chase to try and sign him again.
      They state that boss Erik ten Hag “is pressing” the club to seal a deal for the ace.
      However, the Dutchman is working on limited resources.

      United hope to wrap-up the arrival of Mason Mount from Chelsea this week after the two clubs agreed a £60m fee.
      But that move means the Dutchman will have blown over half of his limited £100m transfer budget, enforced through FFP regulations, as he still searches for a new striker and goalie.
      Long-term No.1 David De Gea woke up on his wedding day yesterday UNEMPLOYED after his contract expired at Old Trafford.
      He was offered the chance to stay at Old Trafford on massively reduced terms.
      However, reports suggested that that £200k-a-week offer was later rescinded by the club, wanting him to instead accept an even bigger cut.
      But De Gea has been sensationally asked not to join another club despite his contract being up at United.
      And the Red Devils are now effectively asking the player to hang around in case they cannot find a new number one within their transfer budget.
      Ten Hag has been chasing Inter Milan’s Onana and have also been keen on Porto’s Costa – but a move for either man is dependent on United being able to raise more funds by offloading some of the 13 players the boss is ready to offload.
      Now a fresh link claims that they have made contact over a potential move for Feyenoord goalkeeper Justin Bijlow. More
