      by

      However, Erik ten Hag may look to change these odds by offering cash and TWO players in a deal.
      According to the Daily Mail, United have enquired for Rice in recent days.
      This has come with a view to offer West Ham £40million plus Harry Maguire and Anthony Elanga.
      Elanga, 21, managed just 702 minutes of action under Erik ten Hag last season, frequently finding himself coming off of the bench.

      The winger was a particular favourite of Ralf Rangnick, who revealed he thought Elanga was “really good” after watching YouTube videos of him.
      Rangnick’s managerial skills may have not been up to scratch during his time as the club’s interim manager following Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s sacking, but his talent ID remains highly revered.
      Elanga’s departure from Old Trafford would come after Zidane Iqbal confirmed he was leaving earlier today.
      Reports broke on Tuesday of United accepting a bid worth just shy of £1m from FC Utrecht for the 20-year-old.

      And today Iqbal, who made history as the first British South Asian to play for United, penned a heartfelt exit in a letter to fans.
      He said: “Manchester United has been my home since I was 5 years old.
      “I have so many incredible memories of my 15 years associated with his amazing club… There are too many people to thank.
      “The Academy is a special place that makes dreams com true for so many. That was certainly the case for me.
      “I’ll never forget standing on the touchline at the Theatre of Dreams waiting to come on for my debut. That feeling of pride will live with me forever.”
      He concluded: “I’ll always be a United fan and i’ll always love this football club.
      “The time is right to go and take on a new challenge… This is a perfect opportunity and I cannot wait to get started.”
      It comes after a Manchester Evening News report stating Ten Hag is playing a more “active role” in the academy.

      However, their report adds that only stars matching the Dutchman’s high standards will be given first team opportunities.
      The likes of Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo appear to be two stars who the ex-Ajax boss rates, with both being given time in the first team across last season. More

      Man Utd ‘could have signed Jack Grealish for LESS than Man City paid for him but baulked at the price’

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED had the chance to sign Treble winner Jack Grealish before he joined Manchester City but refused to match Aston Villa’s asking price.Grealish, 27, became the most expensive English players of all time when he signed for Pep Guardiola’s side in a huge £100million transfer two years ago.

      However, United could have signed him for £20m LESS the previous season.
      According to The Mirror, the Red Devils enquired about signing the winger from Aston Villa in 2020.
      Villa officials demanded £80m for their star man, but United chiefs immediately “baulked” at the price tag.
      And just 12 months later, Grealish made his way to the Blue side of Manchester.

      After the England ace left Villa Park, Aston Villa’s chief executive Christian Purslow revealed the reason behind his exit.
      He told VillaTV: “Jack wanted to be certain that if at any point a Champions League club came in for him and Aston Villa was not in that competition, that we would not stand in his way.
      “Ultimately, he said it boiled down to wanting to play Champions League football now.”
      He has since won two Premier League titles, the Champions League and the FA Cup.

      Man Utd Treble winner tells Declan Rice to SNUB his old club and make Man City transfer instead

      by

      A MANCHESTER United Treble winner has urged Declan Rice to snub his old club in favour of a move to rivals Manchester City.Rice, 24, finds himself in the middle of a three-way transfer tug of war between United, City and Arsenal.

      David Ornstein reported that City will submit an offer today amid “serious interest” in the England international.
      Arsenal looked to be in the driving seat in the race for Rice but after having two bids rejected by West Ham they have left the door open for other clubs.
      United had been put on alert by the rejected bids as they are long-time admirers of Rice, but are operating under financial constraints until the status of their takeover is clearer.
      And former United forward Dwight Yorke has said that if each of the three interested clubs make an offer, the choice for Rice should be straightforward.

      Speaking to Lord Ping, Yorke said: “If it was me and Manchester City were interested, then they would be the first choice because of how they play and the trophies they win.
      “I wouldn’t rule Manchester United out because they’re on an upwards trajectory and want to get better.
      “I wouldn’t go to Chelsea at the moment because of the disgruntled team.
      “Arsenal would be a good choice if I wanted to stay in London, but Manchester City would be my first choice and Manchester United second.”

      Arsenal had been the clear front-runners for Rice’s signature, with the midfielder being the club’s top priority and Rice keen on the move.
      But City’s late interest has thrown a curve-ball into things, and it is believed they will be in a favourable position to land the midfielder given West Ham’s established interest in Kalvin Phillips.
      The Hammers see Phillips as one of their top-targets to replace the departing Rice and a player plus cash deal could suit all parties.
      Arsenal have had a busy start to the transfer window as they look to be on the verge of signing Ajax’s Jurrien Timber, 22, and Chelsea’s Kai Havertz, 24.
      However missing out on Rice would be a significant blow, particularly after missing out on fellow top target Moises Caicedo, 21 – who looks to be Chelsea bound. More

      But according to The Mirror, Chelsea are ready to settle at £60m to ensure Mount gets his move.
      The Blues initially wanted £70million for their two-time player of the year and academy graduate.
      But with Mount no closer to agreeing an extension on his contract that expires next summer, Chelsea have been forced to compromise.
      The 24-year-old has 33 goals in his 195 appearances since breaking into the Blues’ first team in 2019.

      And he would leave Stamford Bridge with a Champions League winners medal to his name.
      But following inconsistent runs in the squad last season and a failure to sign a new deal, the player looks destined to leave.
      United are already believed to have agreed personal terms with Mount with wages of £200,000-a-week.
      Mount could become the third Chelsea midfielder to leave within the summer window.

      Chelsea’s summer sales look to continue with Edouard Mendy, Hakim Ziyech and Callum Hudson-Odoi are also linked with moves to Saudi.

      Another wrote: “NOOOOOO… So that we’ll later sign him for £100m.”
      A third supporter also added: “You already know he’s going to be worth £80m in 2 years if Dortmund want him.”

      The Americans have been fielding bids for majority and minority stakes in Old Trafford since November, with their valuation standing at a mammoth £6billion.
      Sir Jim Ratcliffe, one of two main frontrunners, is looking to seek majority control by a slim margin.
      While on the other side, Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani wants 100 per cent control as he plots a stunning investment.
      But despite the club being on sale for seven months, with the Glazers previously targeting a March deadline, United’s ownership saga remains in limbo.

      As a result, they are yet to sign any players this summer despite making a fresh bid for Chelsea’s Mason Mount yesterday.
      And The Mirror claims boss Ten Hag has been left “infuriated” by the situation.
      He believes United need at least three new signings – a goalie, a striker and a midfielder – to compete for next season’s title.
      But the Glazers are unwilling to release transfer funds until they have concluded their sale of the club.

      The Gunners are also closing in on West Ham’s Declan Rice, with Chelsea hoping to land Brighton’s Moises Caicedo.
      Meanwhile, Ten Hag’s unhappiness has raised fears among fans that he could resign.
      One tweeted: “I won’t be surprised if Erik Ten Hag walk. I wouldn’t begrudge him this. He deserves better.”
      Another wrote: “Could genuinely see Ten Hag walking from this s***show of a situation, the delay with this takeover is DISGUSTING.”
      As another commented: “This is getting out of hand. We already have some budget. Why don’t they use it to book the top targets?” More

      Mount remains a key transfer target for the Red Devils, despite their improved £50million offer being rejected.
      Silvestre is excited by the prospect of Mount joining his former club, even if a deal is yet to be struck.
      The Frenchman believes he will bring a series of attributes with him, including versatility, finishing and mobility.
      Silvestre also feels Mount loves to play in between the lines and can both receive and make precise passes.

      He told FourFourTwo: “Versatility is his obvious quality.
      “I’ve been following him since his loan to Vitesse Arnhem, and there was laughter when he broke into Chelsea’s first team.
      “He’s a very interesting player, very mobile and loves to play in between the lines, receiving and making precise passes.
      “He’s a good finisher as well and is a player in his prime. I think he would be an immediate reinforcement for United and would fit into Erik’s philosophy as well.”

      Man Utd ‘interested in transfer for Champions League finalist’ to aid defensive rebuild but face battle with Real Madrid

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED are interested in Inter Milan full-back Federico Dimarco but face competition from Real Madrid, according to reports.Dimarco, 25, had a remarkable season for Inter and was crucial in Inter’s run to the Champions League final.

      The Independent report that Ten Hag’s interest in the full-back was piqued due to his performances on their run to face Manchester City in Istanbul earlier this month.
      He contributed five assists in his 11 appearances as Inter reached the final, with the Italians keeping clean sheets in eight of those games.
      United are well stocked in the left-back area with Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia currently vying for the position.
      However, Ten Hag has been impressed by Dimarco’s versatility and believes he would be able to play in a number of positions for the Red Devils.

      There is also a belief that Inter need to sell players this summer in order to comply with financial fair play – so United believe they could get him on a cut price deal.
      If United are to move for Dimarco though, they will face competition from Real Madrid.
      Eduardo Camavinga looked to have made the position his own during a string of impressive performances.
      But the Frenchman has always been a midfielder and has made it clear to Carlo Ancelotti he intends to fight for a place alongside new signing Jude Bellingham.

      Madrid are therefore considering Dimarco as a cheap alternative at left-back having spent a considerable chunk of their budget on Bellingham.
      Inter will be hoping for a bidding war between the two to drive up Dimarco’s price.
      United are operating carefully in the transfer market this summer with limited funds available until the status of their takeover is clear.
      While left-back is not a priority for the Red Devils, they are keen to bolster their defence.
      They do look set to miss out on one of their key targets however.
      United had made contact with Kim Min-Jae ahead of a possible move but the Korean defender now looks to be joining Bayern Munich.
      One contingency could be to move Luke Shaw into centre-back with Dimarco playing at left-back as Shaw played the position a number of times last season. More
