      Man Utd ‘draw up five-man transfer shortlist if Jadon Sancho deal falls through including Douglas Costa and Milik

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED have drawn up a five-man shortlist of alternatives to Jadon Sancho, according to reports.
      United have seemingly spent the entire summer chasing the Borussia Dortmund winger but the German club appear to have closed the door on a summer exit for the 20-year-old England international.

      The Red Devils failed to reach Dortmund’s August 10 deadline to place a £108million bid and the move looks to be dead in the water, which has led United to switch their attention to other targets.
      The Express claims Watford’s Ismaila Sarr, Bournemouth’s Josh King, Napoli striker Arkadiusz Milik, Ivan Perisic of Inter Milan and Juventus winger Douglas Costa are all under consideration.
      Watford star Sarr scored six goals and registered six assists in 30 appearances in 2019/20 following a £25million move from French side Rennes last summer.
      The Hornets’ relegation means the Senegal international could be available for around £40million.

      United would face competition for Bournemouth forward King from Italian side Torino who have opened talks for the 28-year-old, while Tottenham are also interested.

      Milik, 26, is also a target for Spurs after the Napoli frontman saw a move to Roma collapse earlier this month.
      The Pole looks to be on his way out of the Stadio San Paolo following the £75million signing of Victor Osimhen and has yet to be assigned a squad number for the new season.
      Perisic, 31, spent last season on loan at treble-winning Bayern Munich is free to leave Inter Milan with the Italian giants keen to lower their wage bill.

      The Croatian was wanted by Jose Mourinho during his time in charge of United but the club hierarchy vetoed a move.
      Brazilian Costa is also for sale and has been linked with a move to Wolves.

      Reports yesterday suggested United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has told Sancho he is confident a deal will be done soon, with the player having already agreed personal terms with the Old Trafford outfit.
      United are reportedly preparing a final offer for Sancho of £90million including add-ons.
      The former Manchester City academy player managed 20 goals and 20 assists in all competitions last season and has one goal and two assists so far this term.

      Man Utd confident of Jadon Sancho transfer as Solskjaer ‘tells Dortmund star the deal will be done’

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED reportedly remain confident of prising Jadon Sancho away from Borussia Dortmund before the window slams shut on Monday.
      The 20-year-old is known to be the Red Devils’ No1 transfer target, but they have failed to make a breakthrough with BVB in negotiations.

      It is understood that the Bundesliga side are holding out for £108million – an asking price United are refusing to match.
      SunSport reported on Monday how United were preparing a £90m bid with just £65m of it paid upfront.
      Despite United’s unwillingness to fork out £108m, it’s claimed that the club still expect to secure the England international’s services.
      According to Dagbladet via AS, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has spoken to Sancho and told him he expects the move to soon be finalised.

      The same news outlet claimed earlier this month how Solskjaer is in regular contact with the winger, where he has assured him a deal is close.
      Should Sancho link up with United, Daniel James will be allowed to join Leeds on loan.
      Dortmund’s head of football Sebastian Kehl has poured cold water on United’s pursuit of the player, as he insisted Sancho will not be leaving.
      He said: “He [Jadon Sancho] is our player, and he will stay.

      “It was an important statement from the club because we have a certain responsibility. Without Jadon this team is weaker.”
      And striker Erling Haaland is also confident his team-mate will stay, as he said: “I think Sancho has been very good throughout the whole pre-season.
      “He will be an important player for us this season.”

      Man Utd outcast Diogo Dalot eyed by AC Milan in loan transfer but Solskjaer wants rid of him permanently

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED outcast Diogo Dalot is a transfer target for AC Milan, according to reports.
      The Portuguese full-back, 21, has featured just once since lockdown – the 2-1 FA Cup win over Norwich in June – and is well down the pecking order at Old Trafford.

      Aaron Wan-Bissaka is the first-choice right-back with Timothy Fosu-Mensah the back-up option.
      And with game time hard to come by, the young defender knows he needs to go elsewhere to progress.
      According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Milan have made contact with United over a deal.
      The San Siro club want to take Dalot on loan with the option to buy him at the end of the temporary switch.

      However, it is thought the Red Devils would prefer to arrange a permanent sale straight away.
      Negotiations are still continuing but no agreement has been reached at this stage, the reports add.
      Everton and Barcelona have both been linked with moves for the Portugal Under-21 international.
      AC Milan are keen to land a right-back before the transfer window closes next week and are also tracking Barcelona target Max Aarons as well as Spurs’ Serge Aurier.

      Liverpool boast the most valuable squad in world football

      Dalot signed as a 19-year-old from Porto for £19million in 2018 under compatriot Jose Mourinho.
      But he has struggled with long-term injuries and the arrival of Wan-Bissaka last year, limiting his appearances to 34.
      His only goal came in the 6-1 thumping of Tranmere in the FA Cup in January.

      Roy Keane slams ‘worrying’ Man Utd, tells Solskjaer the ‘honeymoon is over’ and warns transfers MUST be made this week

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED legend Roy Keane has warned Ole Gunnar Solskjaer his ‘honeymoon period is over’ and urged the club to bring in new players.
      Keane has not been impressed by United’s start to the season, that began with a 3-1 home defeat to Crystal Palace.

      The Red Devils did manage to defeat Brighton 3-2 at the weekend with a 100th minute winner.
      But it was the luckiest of wins with the Seagulls hitting the woodwork five times and dominating the game.
      Speaking on Sky Sports, Keane says there are ‘worrying signs’ already at the club.
      He said: “The honeymoon is over for Ole, he needs to win a trophy this season.

      “Particularly with the performances over the last week, the pressure will start to mount.”
      While the state of United’s defending has come in for huge criticism, Keane believes many of the players are not taking their chances at the other end.
      He added: “You’d expect to a little bit better against Palace. Everyone is focussing on defensively how poor they have been.

      “But for the whole team, it’s not been good enough, especially the amount of chances they are giving up.”

      Keane believes the remit for Solskjaer will be to win a trophy and to close the gap on Liverpool and Manchester City in the top.
      And to do that, he wants to see some more faces coming in at Old Trafford.
      The 49-year-old added: “If they don’t invest in the next week, it’s tough days ahead for Manchester United.”
      The club have been linked all summer with Borussia Dortmund star Jadon Sancho.

      The Daily Mail reports that they are preparing a £90million bid for Jadon Sancho with £65m of it paid upfront.
      Dortmund are thought to be holding out for £108m for the 20-year-old.
      United are also being heavily linked with Porto left-back Alex Telles.
      The Brazilian defender, 27, has just one year left on his Porto contract.
      And the Portuguese giants are believed to value Telles at around £18m.

      Leeds to make Ryan Kent transfer move from Rangers but only if Bielsa cannot land No1 target Daniel James from Man Utd

      by

      LEEDS UNITED will move for Rangers star Ryan Kent if they fail to land top target Daniel James from Manchester United.
      Marcelo Bielsa wants to add another winger to his newly-promoted squad at Elland Road, as well as a midfielder, before Monday’s transfer deadline.

      The Yorkshire club have been in regular contact with their Premier League rivals but are currently trapped in a frustrating waiting game. 
      And unless United can finally complete a deal for Sancho, Leeds will have to look elsewhere.
      Sun Sport understands it will be Rangers attacker Kent, who has been tipped to make Gareth Southgate’s Three Lions squad, who will be the man Bielsa attempts to recruit.

      Despite reports emerging last night over a bid for Norwich City’s Todd Cantwell, Sun Sport understands that is not the case.
      The starlet’s agent contacted Leeds to inform them the Canaries had dropped their asking price for the attacker – but it is ex-Liverpool ace Kent who would become their top target should they be unable to net James.
      He continued his fine start to the season with his fifth goal of the season during the 4-0 win over Willem II in the Europa League third round on Thursday.
      The former Liverpool youngster also played a part in two other goals that night before helping Steven Gerrard’s men to a 5-1 win at Motherwell on Sunday.

      The 23-year-old moved to Ibrox a year ago from nfield following a successful loan period and is likely to cost anywhere between £10m-£15m.
      However, that potential move hinges on whether Bielsa gets his man in James.
      James almost joined Leeds on transfer deadline day back in January 2019, only for Swansea to pull the plug on the deal at the last-minute after he had already passed a medical.
      Despite renewed interest from the Yorkshire outfit that summer, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer swooped to bring him to United.

      The 22-year-old Welsh star started United’s 3-1 home defeat against Crystal Palace last week but was left out of the squad for Saturday’s 3-2 win at Brighton.
      His Norwegian boss willing to let him leave temporarily for the campaign – but only if they bring Sancho to Old Trafford.
      United are now believed to be preparing a £90m bid for long-term target Sancho with £65m of it paid upfront.
      They have so far failed in every attempt to land their No1 transfer target with Dortmund unwilling to budge on their £108m valuation for the England winger.
      And if that stance remains and Sancho stays in Germany, then Leeds will look north of the border to strengthen their flanks with Kent.

      Man Utd willing to allow Daniel James to leave on loan transfer to Leeds…but only if Jadon Sancho signs from Dortmund

      LEEDS UNITED will land Daniel James on loan from Manchester United – but only if the Red Devils sign Jadon Sancho.

      Now he could finally be about to head across the Pennines to Elland Road with his Norwegian boss willing to let him leave temporarily for the campaign.

      However, James is first-choice back-up to Mason Greenwood.
      And unless Solskjaer lands a replacement, the speedster will be staying put.
      United are now believed to be preparing a £90m bid for long-term target Sancho with £65m of it paid upfront.
      They have so far failed in every attempt to land their No1 transfer target – and the window shuts next Monday.

      But Borussia Dortmund are unwilling to budge on their £108m valuation for the England winger.
      And should a compromise be made, that would also see Leeds switch their attentions elsewhere.

      Man Utd ‘prepare £90m Jadon Sancho transfer bid with just £65m up front’ as Dortmund drama goes down to last week

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED are preparing a £90million bid for Jadon Sancho with £65m of it paid upfront, according to reports.
      Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has so far failed in every attempt to land his No1 transfer target – and the window shuts next Monday.

      Borussia Dortmund have appeared unwilling to budge on their £108m valuation for the England winger.
      And the Daily Mail say United will try to persuade them to sell with a move totalling £90m once ‘achievable add-ons’ are accounted for.
      But Dortmund’s head of football Sebastian Kehl is adamant Sancho will stay in Germany – no matter what is offered.
      He told Ruhr Nachrichten: “He [Jadon Sancho] is our player, and he will stay.

      “It was an important statement from the club because we have a certain responsibility. Without Jadon this team is weaker.”
      United were originally given an August 10 deadline by which to complete the deal.
      That is now long gone and it appears Old Trafford transfer chiefs have made little progress in negotiations since then.
      They were also looking at Jack Grealish before he signed a new five-year deal at Aston Villa and Gareth Bale chose to return to Spurs on loan from Real Madrid.

      It means United are in danger of not adding to their attack before the end of the window.
      Porto’s Alex Telles is another name United are looking to land – but in the left-back position.
      Up top, Napoli’s Polish striker Arkadiusz Milik is of interest, as is Juventus star Douglas Costa.
      But it looks like United may have to sell before buying in order to free up funds.

      Chris Smalling’s permanent move to Roma for around £18m would be a quick financial boost, as would Andreas Pereira’s proposed transfer to Lazio.
      Sergio Romero, Marcos Rojo and Phil Jones are three others bosses could flog rapidly.
      That would help fund a move for Sancho, who clearly has eyes on United after recently saying Marcus Rashford is the most skilful player he has seen.
      Former Man City star Sancho, 20, played all 90 minutes of Dortmund’s 2-0 loss to Augsburg in the Bundesliga last weekend.

      Man Utd enter transfer race for wonderkid Alex Luna but 16-year-old must wait until 2022 to make move

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED have reportedly joined the race to sign 16-year-old wonderkid Alex Luna – but must wait until 2022.
      The Mirror reports the Red Devils are lining up a swoop for the Argentine starlet but he may not arrive at Old Trafford for nearly two years.

      The youngster caught the attention of a number of big European clubs after bagging 16 goals for Atletico Rafaela in his homeland.
      The season was curtailed by coronavirus but impressive dribbling and direct attacking have left the teenager high in demand.
      His club claim they have already turned down SEVEN loan requests.
      Next season he is scheduled to be promoted to Rafaela’s first team, who play in Argentina’s second tier.

      And the move is said to have alerted some of the top South American sides.
      United’s main rivals for his signature are AC Milan but other big names like Barcelona, Arsenal, Manchester City and Champions League winners Bayern Munich are said to have monitored the player.
      Even if Ed Woodward and Co can pull off a deal, it is likely Luna will stay in Argentina until the end of 2021.
      So the first time he could pull on the famous red shirt of Manchester United is unlikely to be before January 2021.

      Luna is viewed as a long-term project with boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer staying coy on whether his side will make any more additions in this window.
      The Norwegian declared his defence is good enough without reinforcements after they came in for heavy criticism.
      Midfielder Donny van de Beek arrived for £39million but he is United’s only summer signing, leaving fans frustrated at a lack of action in the market.
