      Star-studded XI of players to SNUB Man Utd in last 12 months includes Haaland and Rudiger and would challenge for Europe

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED are no longer the destination they used to be.In days of old, players far and wide would dream of wearing the famous red shirt while walking out at Old Trafford.

      But the times they are a changing – with stars now preferring to join the likes of Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Liverpool and… erm, RB Leipzig.
      With United failing to get a deal for Adrien Rabiot over the line, let’s take a look at an XI of players that the Red Devils have been snubbed by during the last 12 months.
      Goalkeeper Dean Henderson is technically still on United’s books, having joined Nottingham Forest on loan for the season.
      But he revealed earlier this month that he was desperate not to have to train under Erik ten Hag.

      He told talkSPORT: “I didn’t really want the manager to see me in training because I knew he’d probably want to keep me.
      “I told all the hierarchy: ‘I need to go and play football. I don’t want to be playing second fiddle’. And it panned out so I was almost gone before the manager came in.”
      Ajax defender Jurrien Timber could have followed Ten Hag to Old Trafford… but decided against it after being warned by Louis van Gaal that it could cost him a place at the World Cup.
      Man United liked Antonio Rudiger and monitored his situation at Chelsea closely last season.

      But the German instead decided to join European champions Real Madrid, rather than Europa League-dwellers United.
      Matthijs de Ligt was another long-term United target who had played under Ten Hag at Ajax, but he preferred to join German champions Bayern.
      Kalvin Phillips was flattered by interest from Old Trafford but admitted he could never have joined them, out of loyalty to their rivals Leeds.
      The England star instead joined Manchester City, leaving United reeling.
      Frenkie de Jong has been the Red Devils’ biggest summer transfer target, but the Dutchman has shown absolutely no indication that the feeling is mutual.
      He appears likely to try and stay at Barcelona, while Chelsea have emerged as a more realistic landing spot than United if he is to move on.
      A deal for Rabiot has fallen through over his wage demands, while Kingsley Coman opted to pen a new Bayern deal rather than possibly go to United.
      Benjamin Sesko recently opted to stay at RB Salzburg for another year before joining RB Leipzig in 2023, when a move to Old Trafford could have been on the cards.

      While Darwin Nunez was a key Red Devils target before telling Jurgen Klopp and Co that he would turn down United in favour of forcing through a move to Liverpool.
      United chiefs dreamed of signing Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund for virtually his entire spell in Germany, only to be beaten to his signature by Manchester City.

      And now, three years after buying him for a whopping £50m, United are reportedly prepared to take a £40m loss to sell Wan-Bissaka back to Crystal Palace.
      According to The Telegraph, Palace are willing to take their academy graduate back to Selhurst Park, but will only pay £10m to do so.
      Wan-Bissaka was signed with the hopes of developing the attacking side of his game to compliment an already superb tackling ability.
      However, the defender has failed to develop as planned, and has even lost his place in the United starting XI this term.

      The Telegraph add United are looking to replace him with one of Borussia Dortmund right-back Meunier or Sergino Dest.
      Meunier, 30, has started both games for Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga but was hooked at half-time of their 3-1 win over SC Freiburg.
      United are yet to make an offer for the Belgian defender but are understood to be more likely to sign him than Dest, with Barcelona demanding £17m for the USA international.
      Fresh reports today have also indicated United are in line to sign Christian Pulisic on loan from Chelsea.

      Ronaldo returned to pre-season late amid the reports of his exit, and was subsequently only named on the bench to face Brighton on the opening day.
      While he was powerless to help United overcome that challenge, he then played the full 90 minutes in the humiliation The Red Devils suffered in their 4-0 defeat at Brentford last weekend.

      The Bundesliga veteran has one year left on his current deal and is courting interest from a number of Premier League clubs.

      De Gea’s disastrous performance against Brentford where he cost the team two goals has caused Ten Hag to ramp up the search for a new keeper.
      Sommer by contrast has conceded just half of the goals De Gea has, thanks to his side winning 3-1 against Hoffenheim and drawing 2-2 against Schalke in their first two games of the season.
      He has been the number one at Borussia-Park since joining from Basel in 2014 and has made 326 appearances for the club.
      Meanwhile, last season’s United deputy Dean Henderson, who took the Spaniard’s position from him during the second half of the 2020/21 season, has thus far starred on loan at Nottingham Forest.

      A string of fine saves – including a Declan Rice penalty – ensured Forest kept a clean sheet and managed a win on their first home game back in the Premier League since 1999.
      Henderson accused United of wasting a year of his career after he sat on the bench last season as De Gea reclaimed the No1 spot with a number of good performances when Henderson was unavailable at the beginning of the campaign.
      The competition the one-time England international provided De Gea worked a treat in getting the Spaniard back to his best form, but without the threat to his position De Gea has already made two direct mistakes leading to goals.

      Man Utd ‘target loan transfer for Christian Pulisic and Chelsea winger is ready to snub FOUR clubs to join rivals’

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED are planning a shock loan move for Chelsea’s Christian Pulisic, according to reports. The USA captain has grown increasingly frustrated at his lack of game time under Thomas Tuchel, who also coached him at Borussia Dortmund.
      Christian Pulisic is linked with Manchester UnitedCredit: Getty
      Newcastle United, Juventus and Atletico Madrid are all believed to have made approaches to sign Pulisic this summer.
      And according to The Athletic, United are set to join that list and test whether the Blues will loan the winger out.
      The report adds that Pulisic, 23, is ready to listen to offers to move away this summer and even prefers joining United over anyone else.
      It comes following a lack of game time with the Qatar World Cup starting in just three months.
      READ MORE ON MAN UTD
      Pulisic was linked with United and Liverpool before signing for Chelsea in a £58million two years ago.
      In the period since, he has made 117 appearances, scoring 25 goals.
      Last season, he suffered a period on the sidelines following an ankle injury and made just 13 Premier League starts.
      He finished the campaign with only eight goals and fell behind in the Chelsea pecking order.
      Already this season, Romelu Lukaku, 29, has re-joined Inter Milan on loan and Timo Werner, 26, is back at RB Leipzig permanently.

      And now Pulisic and Callum Hudson-Odoi, 21, are linked with loan moves away to secure more regular football.
      Chelsea did bring in Raheem Sterling, 27, from Manchester City for £50m at the start of the window but no No9 has been signed in replace of Lukaku.
      Thomas Tuchel is believed to be pushing to sign ex-Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, 33, currently at Arsenal.
      And Chelsea have seen a shock £40m bid REJECTED by Everton for starlet Anthony Gordon.
      German Kai Havertz, 23, and Sterling will look to lead the line for Tuchel if no more additions are brought in before the September 1 deadline.
      Meanwhile, United boss Erik ten Hag is ready to allow Cristiano Ronaldo, 37, to leave and rumours suggest his contract could be ripped up.
      So it would leave a space in Ten Hag’s front line of which Pulisic would be primed to fill.
