      Erik ten Hag has been eager to cash-in on him following his underwhelming loan spell with Marseille.
      And according to Fabrizio Romano, the defender could be set to leave sooner rather than later.
      Bailly has agreed personal terms with Besiktas ahead of a proposed transfer.
      The Turkish giants are now set to hold talks with Man Utd as they look to agree a transfer fee.

      Former Liverpool and Arsenal star Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is also expected to join Besiktas this summer.
      Bailly joined the Red Devils in a £30million transfer from Villarreal in 2016.
      He has since made 113 appearances for the club.
      The defender spent this season on loan at Marseille, but he was limited to just 23 appearances across all competitions.

      The Ligue 1 side had no intention of triggering his £6m option to buy, so the Red Devils reportedly put him on the market for even less.
      Man Utd are now said to be willing to sell the Ivory Coast international for just £2m.
      Ten Hag has already introduced three new additions to his first team squad this summer.
      Mason Mount was first to join the club when he made a £60m switch from Chelsea last month.
      Andre Onana followed after completing a £47m transfer from Inter Milan.
      And Rasmus Hojlund became the latest addition to Ten Hag’s squad when he joined in a £72m move last week.
      However, there are now some concerns surrounding his fitness after it emerged that a hidden back injury will keep him sidelined for the first few weeks of the Premier League season. More

      Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag avoids commenting on Mason Greenwood as star striker’s future hangs in the balance

      by

      MAN Utd boss Erik ten Hag has today avoided commenting on Mason Greenwood as the star’s future hangs in the balance. The England striker hasn’t played for Utd since he was arrested for attempted rape, assault and coercive control in January last year.

      He was charged in October but the charges were dropped in February by the Crown Prosecution Service.
      The Man Utd boss this afternoon gave an update on the club, with eager fans waiting to hear what the future holds for Greenwood.
      However, ten Hag did not comment on the suspended striker – nor was he asked about him.
      The club is expected to soon make a decision on his future and it was today revealed why the announcement was being delayed.

      Utd manager ten Hag spoke about the team’s first game of the season against Wolves on Monday night, as well as saying Harry Kane’s impending move to Bayern Munich was a “miss for the Premier League”.
      He added: “We are very confident but also I want to mention pre-season doesn’t say anything, it’s friendly football.
      “Though I never take a game as a friendly, it’s friendly in the sense of going.
      “In the league, going for the points it’s a different approach for both teams.
      Most read in Football
      “We are ready to go for the fight, the team is really energetic and we worked really good for pre-season and we go for it.”
      The United boss also said the club was happy with their new striker Rasmus Højlund.
      He said: “First of all, we have chosen a striker and we are really happy with our choice.
      “He’s [Kane] a great striker, clear, a goal maker and apart from that he has all the conditions and abilities what you want to see in a striker. It’s a miss for the Premier League, absolutely.”
      It comes after The Sun revealed snaps on Tuesday of Greenwood looking relaxed as he trained on a public pitch.
      His dad and coach, Andrew Greenwood, instructed him and cradled the player’s newborn as he ran through shooting drills with pals.
      In June he worked on his close control and shooting in a 90-minute session on an £85-an-hour pitch.
      It was the first time he had been pictured at a training session since his arrest.
      He had grown his hair since he was last pictured — and was not wearing Nike boots after the firm ended their sponsorship deal.
      Greenwood joined Utd aged just six and rose through the ranks to land himself a regular spot on the first team.
      In 2019, he became the youngest footballer to play for United in the Champions League when he took to the pitch aged 17.
      Greenwood has made 129 appearances in total for the Red Devils and netted 35 goals.
      It comes as manager ten Hag and the majority of the first team have suggested they were open to the idea of bringing the footballer back.
      But United’s women’s team were understood to have reservations, while sponsors were left concerned about being linked to the footballer.
      A source said previously: “All the players believe he deserves a second chance because he’s innocent in the eyes of the law.
      “He didn’t have the opportunity to clear his name in court because the charges were dropped, so the players feel like he has been left in limbo.

      “They know it will be difficult but they are willing to support him through it and protect him.
      “Some of the younger players came through the academy with him so there’s a loyalty to him.” More

      by

      Greenwood was later charged with attempted rape, assault and controlling and coercive behaviour, before the charges were dropped in February by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS).
      And Utd are expected to make their decision on his future in the coming days.
      Greenwood could have his contract terminated, be put back into the first team, loaned out or sold.

      And Pavard’s name is on a four-man list earmarked to replace the England defender, according to the Mail Online.
      The versatile defender has been on United’s shortlist since the winter transfer window of last season.
      And, with one year left on his current contract, United may be able to recruit the World Cup-winner on an affordable deal and he is said to be “keen” on leaving.
      Jean-Clair Todibo, Edmond Tapsoba and Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi are the other options reportedly in Ten Hag’s notebook.

      Tapsoba, 24, is out of contract next summer which is another key factor for United to explore.
      But his club, German side Bayer Leverkusen, will not be willing to let him go cheap.
      Todibo has excelled at Nice since an £8.5m move from Barcelona in 2021.
      The centre-half, 23, has also attracted interest from Juventus this summer but the Italians were put off by his £35m price-tag.

      While that could seem cheap compared to Guehi, who would come at a premium from Palace having received four England caps in the last year.
      Without Maguire, United are left with Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez and Victor Lindelof to play in the centre of defence, while Luke Shaw filled in on occasion last season.
      Eric Bailly remains on the books having returned from his loan at Marseille.
      While Jonny Evans is also still with the squad having signed a short-term deal foe pre-season.
      The veteran, 35, could stay on as an efficient short-term option as the club look for a younger alternative. More

      Mystery team behind Mason Greenwood’s football comeback revealed as Man Utd striker seen training in park

      by

      MASON Greenwood ‘s mystery trainer has been revealed as a professional football coach specialising in goal scoring.The Man Utd striker, 21, was yesterday spotted practising shooting in a private session as he plots his comeback.
      Mason Greenwood took part in a private training session overseen by a personal trainer
      Greenwood hasn’t touched a ball for the team since he was arrested for attempted rape, assault and coercive control last January.
      The charges against him were dropped in February but the footballer remains suspended by Utd.
      As a result, he has taken to practising his skills at public training grounds as opposed to the team’s base at Carrington.
      It can now be revealed the star was joined in training by Ben Mangan, who describes himself as an “individual professional football coach”.
      Read more on Greenwood
      Mangan counts Greenwood’s ex-teammate Anthony Elanga among his clients, as well as Utd youngster Kobbie Mainoo.
      The coach, who has also shared a picture of Greenwood on his site, offers both individual training in 75 minute sessions and partner or group training.
      He claims to be a specialist in attacking and goal scoring and charges between £105 and £150 per session.
      Greenwood was also joined by his dad and manager Andrew, who instructed the striker as he ran through shooting drills.
      Most read in Football
      Andrew was seen holding his baby granddaughter, who Greenwood’s partner Harriet Robson gave birth to last month.
      It is understood Utd have drawn up the striker’s training programmes and are monitoring his progress.
      But while he is suspended, Greenwood is instead being put through his paces by personal coaches rather than the team’s own staff.
      He was previously seen training with Elanga and Irish star James Abankwah, 19, who plays for Italian side Udinese.
      The trio posed up for a picture together after the session in Dubai last month.
      Greenwood has remained “in limbo” about his future at Utd after chiefs launched their own five-month probe into the claims.
      No decision has been revealed on whether or not the star striker will return – even though the new season is just days away.
      Manager Erik ten Hag and the majority of the first team have suggested they were open to the idea of bringing the Greenwood back.
      But United’s women’s team were understood to have reservations, while sponsors were left concerned about being linked to the footballer.
      Greenwood joined Utd aged just six and rose through the ranks to land himself a regular spot on the first team.

      West Ham AGREE £30m transfer fee with Man Utd for Harry Maguire as England star to end Old Trafford hell

      by

      WEST HAM have agreed a £30million transfer fee for Harry Maguire. The Hammers have chased the England defender all summer after Maguire was stripped of the Manchester United captaincy.

      He has been deemed surplus to requirements by Old Trafford boss Erik ten Hag.
      Chelsea and Tottenham have been linked with Maguire but West Ham were always frontrunners for the centre-half.
      And according to Sky Sports, they have an agreement in principle with United in a deal worth in the region of £30m.
      It is added that personal terms will not be an issue despite Maguire’s reported wages of around £190,000 per week.
      As revealed by SunSport, David Moyes was left confident Maguire wanted a move to the London Stadium.
      Monday night saw West Ham make a huge move in the transfer market, submitting a joint £60m bid for Maguire, 30, and Scott McTominay, 26.
      The £30m offer for McTominay was rejected out of hand, with United demanding £45m.
      But they were considering the £30m bid for Maguire, which is near their valuation of £35m.
      Most read in Football

      SunSport understands that Maguire has spoken with Moyes on several occasions over the phone in the past few days.
      Moyes – who is still looking to make his first signing of the summer – has been selling the idea of West Ham to Maguire, who he views as a future captain of the club.
      The defender is desperate for regular first team football ahead of next summer’s Euros with England, and would get that at West Ham having fallen down the pecking order at Old Trafford.
      A wage rise for Maguire was activated at the end of last season following United’s top four finish, seeing him earn close to £200k-a-week.
      West Ham would not be expected to pay that in full, with United potentially bridging the gap due to the amount still owed to him on his contract that still has two years left, with the option of a further year.
      The Hammers have also seen City express an interest in Lucas Paqueta. More

      The Wales Under-21 star lit up his second game after switching from Old Trafford to the League One newcomers with a free-kick rocket.
      Championship side Millwall even put up a wall of seven men – well, four players together, a small gap, then three more team-mates linking arms.
      But Leicester-born Savage, 20, whipped a left-footer over them and into the near top corner, killing off the contest at 3-0.
      Away fans rushed down the terraces to celebrate – but if anything they enjoyed what came next more.
