      Man Utd in race against time find new club for Mason Greenwood before transfer window closes & they lose millions

      by

      MANCHESTER United have just days to find a new club for Mason Greenwood or face losing millions.The 21-year-old must be sold or loaned out by Friday before the transfer window closes at 11pm.

      If United miss the cut-off, they face paying the £75,000-a-week striker around £8 million to cut his contract.
      Greenwood “mutually agreed” to leave United on August 21 following his arrest for attempted rape and sexual assault.
      He was charged in October but all charges were dropped in February by the Crown Prosecution Service.
      If United agree to cancel Greenwood’s contract before the transfer window closes, he will be able to move to any club in any league.

      But if United cannot mutually agree on cancelling Greenwood’s deal, his options are slim.
      This is because most of Europe’s top leagues also shut their transfer windows on Friday.
      In this scenario, Greenwood would be left with a ramshackle selection of tiny national leagues whose windows remain open.
      These include: Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Greece, Israel, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Switzerland and Turkey.

      Saudi Arabia shut their transfer window on September 20, with Qatar two days prior.
      Saudi clubs – funded by the country’s sovereign wealth – have acquired a number of stars this season, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar and Karim Benzema.
      Manchester United could delay their decision on Greenwood’s contract to the last minute.
      The striker’s last game was on January 22, 2022, in a Premier League clash against West Ham, which United won 1-0.
      It was reported in June AC Milan had been making inquiries about the striker.
      And The Sun revealed in July that Roma had shown interest in Greenwood.
      Meanwhile, reports earlier in the year suggested Greenwood would be open to the prospect of resuming his career in the Chinese Super League. More

      Desperate Erik ten Hag adds FIFTH and SIXTH left-backs to Man Utd transfer shortlist with former Ajax pal on boss’ radar

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED are so desperate for a short-term loan deal to cover the injury of Luke Shaw they have added a FIFTH and SIXTH option to their transfer shortlist, according to reports.Left-back Shaw is set to spend a lengthy period on the sidelines after sustaining a nasty muscular injury.

      According to the Daily Mail, Erik ten Hag is said to be looking to bring in a short-term replacement for Shaw’s absence and a reunion with Lyon’s Nicolas Tagliafico is on the cards.
      The left-back was previously considered by the Red Devils scouting team as he used to play under Ten Hag at Ajax.
      Tagliafico, 30, is playing regularly for the Ligue 1 giants and Lyon would want any loan to include the obligation to buy. 
      The Argentine joined the French side last year from Ajax for £3.5million and was a part of Argentina’s World Cup-winning team.

      Ten Hag has praised him in the past for his character and professionalism and is a viable option as he could easily adapt to the Dutch boss’ style.
      Meanwhile, the Metro confirmed Roma’s Leonardo Spinazolla as a potential target for the Red Devils.
      Spinazzola has been a key part of the Italian side since 2019 – but Roma boss Jose Mourinho is unlikely to sanction his departure as the Serie A team have had a poor start to the season.
      Man Utd already had four potential left-backs lined-up on their transfer list including Barcelona’s Marcos Alonso, Chelsea’s Marc Cucurella, Tottenham’s Sergio Reguillion and Brentford’s Rico Henry.

      United have a restricted budget after their huge £160million summer splurge on Mason Mount, Rasmus Hojlund and Andre Onana.
      Barcelona are open to letting Alonso go on a short-term loan as this would open up financial space to complete the new signing of Joao Cancelo from Manchester City.
      Chelsea are considering offers for Cucuarella but are still concerned about their other left-back Ian Maatsen who is yet to sign a new contract for the Blues.
      United must have a deal finalised by Friday’s 11pm deadline but remain restricted by Financial Fair Play over what they can bring in.
      Therefore to complete this deal the likes of Donny van de Beek and Eric Bailly need to be sold before eyeing up midfield targets.

      According to The Telegraph, United are keen on signing Hojbjerg from Tottenham and the North London club have offered them the chance to open talks.
      The Danish international looked as if he was going to be on his way to Atletico Madrid earlier in the window after Spurs accepted a £30million bid.
      But the deal collapsed after Hojbjerg was unable to agree personal terms with the Spaniards.
      Now it’s Ten Hag who is after the 28-year-old as he looks to add depth to his midfield which has already taken a hit through the injury of Mason Mount.

      Red Devils fans aren’t too impressed with Ten Hag’s latest target though with many of them taking to social media to voice their frustrations.

      Whilst another added: “What is it with this guy and former players?”

      A third commented: “I can’t go through the pain of another ten Hag Alumni!”
      One other fan simply pleaded that it had to stop, posting: “Please, that’s enough.”
      It is unknown whether United will progress talks with Tottenham over the deal, but Ten Hag is said to be keen on bringing in a midfielder before the window shuts on Friday.
      Hojbjerg may not be the only Spurs player to make the move to Old Trafford in the remaining days of the window either.
      Following the injury to Luke Shaw, reports are suggesting that United are considering a move for Spurs full-back Sergio Reguilon. More

      Man Utd could offer Scott McTominay in stunning loan transfer swap for Ryan Gravenberch

      Gravenberch, 21, looks set to leave Bayern after falling down the pecking order at the club.
      The midfielder was usually called upon from the bench by manager Thomas Tuchel last season, and that continued today during Bayern’s 3-1 win over Augsburg.
      Gravenberch came on in the 81st minute of a game that saw Bayern new boy Harry Kane continue his excellent start in Bavaria by scoring two goals.
      After the match however, he poured doubt over his future in a Bayern shirt, saying: “I don‘t know what will happen in the next days,” when asked about his future by Bild.

      Gravenberch is also attracting interest from Liverpool with the Merseyside club keen to reinforce their midfield options.
      While Liverpool have already utilised the Bundesliga to reinforce their midfield with the signing of Stuttgart midfielder Wataru Endo, they are understood to still be interested in bolstering their midfield.
      Reports this month suggested that Liverpool sent two officials to Munich to lay the groundwork on a potential deal for the young Dutchman.
      United meanwhile have been tracking Gravenberch for the majority of this transfer window in order to add some much needed balance to a midfield of Bruno Fernandes, Casemiro and Mason Mount that has thus far failed to click.

      Gravenberch is reportedly desperate to leave Bayern as he looks to secure a starting place in Holland’s midfield at Euro 2024.

      Man Utd’s Dean Henderson to spark transfer merry-go-round with two more keepers set for Premier League switches

      by

      CRYSTAL PALACE’S pursuit of Dean Henderson is set to trigger a transfer merry-go-round, Sun Sport can reveal.Henderson’s move to Selhurst Park could put keeper Sam Johnstone’s place in jeopardy.

      Wolves are going to bid for Johnstone once Crystal Palace sign Henderson.
      Johnstone, 30, forced his way into Roy Hodgson’s side and had seen off the challenge of Vicente Guaita to be No 1.
      But now England keeper Henderson, 26, is set to join the Eagles on a permanent move from Manchester United —  as we first revealed.
      Henderson was a substitute during United’s win over Nottingham Forest on Saturday, and will undertake a medical over the weekend.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      That has put Wolves on red alert for a swoop of current Palace stopper Johnstone ahead of Friday’s deadline.
      And to complicate matters further, Wolves keeper Jose Sa could also be switching clubs.
      Sa is in the sights of Nottingham Forest after they failed to land Henderson, and could be available at the right price.
      His form has been mixed and Wolves’ new keeper coach Neil Cutler worked with Johnstone before.

      Palace do not want to lose Johnstone but might do so for a decent fee after landing Henderson.
      But Forest moving for Sa would speed up the process — and see a remarkable late change of keepers at THREE Premier League clubs.
      United are set to buy Fenerbahce’s Altay Bayindir for £4.3m as Henderson’s replacement.
      Forest, meanwhile, want to recoup the £10million they paid Huddersfield for Lewis O’Brien — which is a problem for Leeds who want to loan the midfielder, 24, and buy if they go up.

      Fans joked Onana tried to levitate to put Awoniyi off in a major blunder
      But the Cameroonian lost his balance and fell backwards just before Awoniyi hit his bottom left corner to open the scoring just two minutes after kick-off.
      And the 27-year-old’s error attracted some unwanted attention from fans on Twitter.
      Some joked Onana was trying to levitate to put Awoniyi off and others laughed off United’s claims that he is David de Gea’s successor after spending £47million to sign him from Inter Milan this summer.
      One fan tweeted: “Onana tried levitation to stop Awoniyi scoring…”
