Report: Manchester United plan to offer an initial £65m to sign 20-goal attacker
Manchester United are planning a late bid of £65m plus add-ons to sign Borussia Dortmund attacker Jadon Sancho, a report from The Daily Mail claims. The England international has been the Red Devils’ prime target for the summer transfer window, but they have so far failed to find a suitable agreement for his services. Borussia Dortmund’s £108m price tag has proved the stumbling block in the negotiations, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side are still determined to land the highly-rated forward. As per The Mail, the Mancunian giants are planning to make a last-gasp bid of £90m for the 20-year-old and they are prepared to pay around £65m upfront. The same publication cites that the £25m add-on package will be easily achievable, but it is still unclear whether Dortmund will accept a...

According to Fabrizio Romano, the Premier League giants are convinced that the 27-year-old will move to Old Trafford before the transfer window closes.

Report: Leeds United feel £15m player would be interested in Elland Road transfer
According to The Mirror (Transfer Live blog, 17:41, September 25, 2020), Leeds United believe that Manchester United winger Daniel James would want to join the club on a loan deal in the summer transfer window. It has been reported that Leeds have cooled their interest in Liverpool winger Harry Wilson and have been turned down by Rangers in their pursuit of Ryan Kent. The Whites are now looking at United winger James and want to sign him on a season-long loan deal, according to the report, which has added that the Red Devils paid Swansea City £15 million in transfer fee for him in the summer of 2019. The report has added that Leeds feel that the Wales international ‘would be interested in spending the campaign on loan at Elland Road’. Manchester United stay or Leeds United move? James is a...
Manchester United optimistic about signing Jadon Sancho
Manchester United have been linked with a move for the Borussia Dortmund attacker Jadon Sancho this summer. The Premier League side are yet to find an agreement with the German club for the England international but latest reports claim that the Red Devils believe a deal can be done before the transfer window closes next month. Sancho managed to score 20 goals last season and he picked up 20 assists as well. There is no doubt that he is a world-class winger and he would improve Manchester United immensely. If he moves to Old Trafford, he is likely to start in place of Daniel James and it would be a massive upgrade for Solskjaer’s side. Sancho would add goals, assists and unpredictability to the United attack. He could form a lethal partnership with Rashford and Martial for years to come. I...
Ian Wright accuses Manchester United of ‘dithering’ over transfers
Ian Wright has urged Manchester United to sign RB Leipzig defender Dayot Upamecano. The 21-year-old impressed with his performances in the Champions League last season, most notably against Atletico Madrid. Upamecano recently revealed he held talks about a potential move away from RB Leipzig and his focus, for now, is the Bundesliga club (via Manchester Evening News). We all know that would quickly change if United came knocking with an offer in the morning, and former Arsenal star Wright thinks we should make move. When you look at the defence — despite Solskjaer claiming to be happy with it — it shouldn’t be hard to look into the transfer market to find better options. Victor Lindelof is an awful partner to Harry Maguire, but hopefully we see more combinations in the foreseeable future —...

manchester United have been linked with a move for the Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho all summer but they have failed to find an agreement with his club so far. As per journalist Sam Pilger, the Old Trafford outfit are now determined to sign the winger in the next ten days. #MUFC remain determined to complete the signing of Jadon Sancho in the next 10 days. — Sam Pilger (@sampilger) September 24, 2020 Sancho is a world-class player in his position and he would improve United immensely if he joins them. The Premier League side are in desperate need of pace, flair and goals from their wide positions. The likes of Dan James are simply not good enough for a team hoping to challenge for the Premier League title. Sancho scored 20 goals and picked up 20 assists for Dortmund last season and...
Fabrizio Romano: Man Utd in talks for 27-yr-old, player’s camp confident about move
Manchester United remain locked in talks to sign Alex Telles from Porto this summer. The 27-year-old would be an upgrade on Luke Shaw if he moves to Old Trafford. Shaw has failed to live up to the expectations at Manchester United and he needs more competition. Telles is a more complete full-back and he would add a new dimension to the United attack going forward as well. Telles is at the peak of his career and he could make an immediate impact at Manchester United if he joins them. He has the tools to succeed in English football and the Brazilian will be tempted to get the move sorted soon. As per Fabrizio Romano, the player’s camp are confident that an agreement will be reached between the two clubs soon. The deal could be worth around €25m. Talks continue between Manchester Un...

Stats from last season According to WhoScored, James made 26 starts and seven substitute appearances in the Premier League for United last season, and he scored three goals and provided six assists, with the winger having joined the Red Devi...
Report: Leeds are now ‘ready to move’ for £15m PL winger…Bielsa remains a huge admirer
Leeds United are reportedly ready to make a move for Daniel James in the summer transfer window, but there are a lot of ifs and buts involved in this. According to reports from The Athletic, the Whites are ‘ready to move’ for James but only if Manchester United make him available. Phil Hay of the Athletic has clarified the situation on Twitter as well. they’re more than ready to move on James but they need Man Utd to make him available first. — Phil Hay (@PhilHay_) September 22, 2020 would be up for discussion.

Report: Manchester United in advanced negotiations to sign £36.7m-rated defender
According to The Guardian, Manchester United are in advanced negotiations with Porto over the potential transfer of defender Alex Telles. The Red Devils have experienced a quiet summer transfer window and Donny van de Beek has been their sole purchase over the past eight weeks. As a result, there has been frustration among many fans, particularly after the disappointing 3-1 league defeat to Crystal Palace to start the campaign. The central defence remains a concern with the inconsistent displays of Victor Lindelof, but The Guardian reports that the club are currently looking to sign a new left-back. Luke Shaw and Brandon Williams have shared the left-back duties over the past year, but the former is the only specialist left-footed player for the position. Hence, United are looking to reinf...
Opinion: 27-yr-old linked with Man Utd could improve them massively in key area
Manchester United are keen on signing Alex Telles from Porto. According to Fabrizio Romano, the Premier League giants are in talks with the Portuguese outfit regarding the 27-year-old and he is likely to cost around €20m. Telles has proven himself in Europe with Porto and he could provide ideal competition to Luke Shaw for the starting left-back slot at Manchester United. The Brazilian is more impressive going forward as compared to Shaw and he could prove to be a very useful option for Solskjaer’s team at both ends of the pitch. Manchester United need to bring in a full back who will support their attack and contribute offensively. Telles would certainly be an upgrade in that sense. Furthermore, he is at the peak of his career and he could make an immediate impact at Old Trafford. It...
Report: 33 goal star could be heading to Tottenham or Man Utd after latest development
Alexander Sorloth has been linked with Tottenham earlier in the summer and it seems that the player could still end up at the London club. The striker was expected to sign for RB Leipzig but it seems that his scheduled medical with the German outfit has been cancelled now. According to reports (h/t Sportwitness), Trabzonspor have received an attractive offer from a big English club and the striker has been told to put his move to Leipzig on hold. The report further states that Sorloth could end up joining Tottenham or Manchester United this summer. It will be interesting to see where the talented young striker ends up eventually.
