Man United enter race to sign Tottenham Hotspur target valued at £10m
Manchester United will make a surprise move to re-sign West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper Sam Johnstone, should either Dean Henderson or David de Gea leave the club this summer, The Sun reports. The 28-year-old is currently in his third season with the Baggies, and he has been in impressive form despite the club’s relegation fight. He has made 120 saves over the course of the league season, and only Leeds United’s Illan Meslier has fared better (121), having played an additional game. The Baggies are eight points adrift of safety with only eight matches left in the campaign, and they appear likely to go down next month. With this in mind, Johnstone could be sold by the Midlands outfit, given he has yet to renew his contract, which expires in 14 months. Tottenham Hotspur have recently been lin...
Manchester United target 24-year-old midfielder, could sign him for just over £30m
Manchester United have added Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Ruben Neves to their summer shortlist, 90mins claims. The Portuguese joined Wolves from Porto in a surprise transfer in the summer of 2017 when they were still in the Championship. He has developed into a quality central midfielder during his three-and-a-half years with the club, but he could be on the move this year. According to 90min, the club’s owners Fosun are not planning to shut their operations like at Jiangsu, but are looking to change their strategy. The Midlands outfit are likely to part ways with a number of high-profile players this summer with Neves being one of those. The same report claims that Neves, who is valued in excess of £30 million, is also open to a fresh challenge after four years at the club. United ...
Solskjaer to make three changes | Expected Manchester United line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Tottenham Hotspur

Formation: 4-2-3-1 Predicted Line-up: Dean Henderson has recently emerged as the preferred choice in goal for league games ahead of David de Gea. He is likely to retu...

Manchester United want to sign their long-term target, could offer £50m star in exchange
Manchester United plan to offer David de Gea as a makeweight to sign goalkeeper Jan Oblak from Atletico Madrid this summer, 90min reports. De Gea has been the regular goalkeeper for the Red Devils over the past decade, but Dean Henderson has recently been preferred ahead of him between the sticks. The Spaniard currently commands a salary of around £350,000-a-week, and it has been reported that he could be sold to reduce the wage bill this summer. It is now claimed that United have their sights on landing Oblak, with some of United’s hierarchy unsure whether Henderson should retain the number one role next term. Oblak has a £103 million buy-out clause in his Atletico contract, but United aim to offer de Gea (reportedly valued at £50m) in a player-plus-cash deal for the S...
Gary Neville picks Real Madrid star as his number one target for Manchester United
Gary Neville has picked Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane as his preferred summer target for Manchester United during a Q&A session on Twitter. The Red Devils have had a good season, and they are presently lying second in the league standings with 60 points, nine ahead of fifth-placed Chelsea. They are also the favourites to win the Europa League, which would end their trophy drought that has lasted for nearly four years. Despite the positives, the club are still far off from competing for the league title, with Manchester City cruising at the top with a 14-point lead. The club are likely to strengthen the squad this summer, and there has been much talk that they could pursue a new centre-back to accompany Harry Maguire. In a Q&A session earlier today, SPORTbible asked Neville to...
Gary Nevilla ‘baffled’ by Manchester United’s handling of £35m star this season
Manchester United legend Gary Neville has said that he has been baffled by the Red Devils’ handling of Donny van de Beek this summer. The Netherlands international was the Red Devils first major signing of last summer’s transfer window, and he arrived with much fanfare. The former Ajax man came up with the reputation of being a brilliant box-to-box midfielder, but he has failed to make a mark with United. His handling by Ole Gunnar Solksjaer could be questionable, considering the Norwegian has offered him just 1130 minutes in his 29 appearances. In a Q&A session on Twitter earlier today, Neville was asked by a fan regarding the club’s misuse of Van de Beek, and he was equally surprised with the situation. I’m baffled by what’s happening with him. He must be really low. https://t.co/8bG...
Man United devise plan to sign £100m Premier League star, could propose swap deal
Manchester United could propose to sign West Ham United midfielder Declan Rice in a player-plus-cash deal with Jesse Lingard moving in the opposite direction, The Athletic reports. Sportslens view: The Red Devils could be lining up a new midfielder this summer with Nemanja Matic no longer at the prime of his career at 33, while Paul Pogba’s future remains uncertain with his contract expiring in 14 months. Rice has proved to be one of the league’s leading midfielders this term, managing two tackles and two interceptions per game with an impressive pass success rate of nearly 88. He was on the radar of Chelsea last summer, but a deal never materialised. However, he could switch to United this year in a proposal that may tempt the Hammers. Lingard has been a huge success for the Hammers since...

O’Hara: Manchester United are not good enough to sign European sensation
Former Tottenham Hotspur player Jamie O’Hara has claimed that Manchester United are ‘not good enough’ to attract Borussia Dortmund sensation Erling Braut Haaland. Haaland’s meteoric rise in football has caught everyone by surprise, with the Norweigian improving at an incredible rate over the past 24 months. The 20-year-old has scored 33 goals in 33 appearances across all competitions for Dortmund this season, with 10 of those coming in the Champions League. As a result of his performances, many clubs are being linked with a move for Haaland. The player and agent Mino Raiola recently took a public trip to see potential suitors, including Barcelona and Real Madrid. However, one club that former Tottenham man Jamie O’Hara can not see signing Haaland is Manchester United. “They can’t get&...
