Inter Milan chief executive Beppe Marotta has confirmed Manchester United's interest in signing the Italian club's Cameroon goalkeeper Andre Onana, 27. Al-Nassr are considering bringing goalkeeper David de Gea, 32, to Saudi Arabia after the goalkeeper's Manchester United contract expired. United are also interested in Feyenoord's 25-year-old Dutch keeper Justin Bijlow as a back-up in case they miss out on Onana. Roma are interested in signing United forward Mason Greenwood, 21, on loan. United have rejected a bid from Borussia Dortmund to take winger Jadon Sancho, 23, back on loan. It is unlikely Manchester United will sign Austria midfielder Marcel Sabitzer, 29, or 30-year-old Netherlands forward Wout Weghorst permanently after their loan deals ended on Friday.

Manchester United have a new number seven..
ichef.bbci.co.uk/live-experience/cps/624/cpsprodpb/vivo/live/images/2023/7/5/75e12fa9-f85b-4c49-99d7-2adfd5b45611.jpgMason Mount has revealed on his Instagram that he will wear the famous number seven shirt at Manchester United. The last person to wear the shirt was Cristiano Ronaldo during the 2021-22 and 2022-23 campaigns. Ronaldo had previously wore the number between 2003 and 2009 during his first spell with the club. Before him David Beckham wore it from 1997-2003...Pressure? None at all... ............................................................................................................................................................... Get Involved...Man.Utd and Chelsea FansIsaac: I don’t think any Man United fan can doubt that Mason Mount has exceptional quality, but he's not going to completely transform them. The team is crying out for a striker and United won't move forward until they sign one. Beth: Gutted to see Mason Mount leave Chelsea, just because of his history with Chelsea. I think the transfer had to be done because he wasn't getting enough time on the pitch for the type of player he is. I think he'll be a great addition for Man United. Dave, Timperley: I remember when United were smashing transfer records to sign marquee players who were world-class... now they are excited about signing a squad player who is a decent Premier League player. Oh how the mighty have fallen. Matt, Sale: Rashford has 12 months left on his contract. I don't think United fans would be too happy if they sold him to Chelsea for £55m. from Matt, Sale Rashford has 12 months left on his contract. I don't think United fans would be too happy if they sold him to Chelsea for £55m. Jonnie: As a Chelsea fan I am gutted to see Mount leave. Granted he had a poor season last year but whatever way Chelsea want to position this - he's an academy product, twice won the Player of the Season award and got the assist that won the Champions League - it's a huge loss for Chelsea. He should have been the future captain and the example for academy players moving forward. I'm not surprised he left given the chaos and how his contract situation has been handled, and wish him an amazing career. Richard: Chelsea have got to sell players given their spending on players and managers. Players like mount are the money factored into their plans - selling players for profit. If they don't they'll be in Financial Fair Play trouble. Arron: Not sure how Mount's message was emotive. A pre written statement from three weeks ago doesn't scream a love for the fans or club. Will: The video from Mount was very underwhelming. Says we deserve more than a written statement then proceeds to robotically read a statement off of a screen. If he truly cared about Chelsea, then he'd have stuck with us and stayed in SW6. We've moved on from better players leaving like Hazard and Mata...no player is bigger than the club.

ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/800/cpsprodpb/2B3F/production/_130317011_rasmushojlund.pngManchester United are lining up a £50m move for Atalanta and Denmark striker Rasmus Hojlund, 20. United continue to do due diligence on goalkeepers including Feyenoord's Netherlands international Justin Bijlow, 25 and Spaniard David Raya, 27, of Brentford in case they cannot agree a fee with Inter for Andre Onana. Erik ten Hag is looking to offload Brazilian full-back Alex Telles, 30, Ivory Coast centre-back Eric Bailly, 29, 22-year-old defender Brandon Williams, club captain Harry Maguire, 30, and midfielder Scott McTominay, 26, to balance the books at Manchester United.

David de Gea: Spanish keeper confirms he is leaving Manchester United after 12-year spell..ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/800/cpsprodpb/E551/production/_130250785_gettyimages-1494060434.jpgichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/800/cpsprodpb/B1D9/production/_129792554_gettyimages-1248620725.jpgSpanish goalkeeper David de Gea said "it's the right time to undertake a new challenge" as he confirmed he is leaving Manchester United this summer. The 32-year-old was a free agent after his contract at the Old Trafford club ran out at the end of June. De Gea has been at United for 12 years and his 545 appearances and 190 clean sheets are club records for a keeper. "I just wanted to send this farewell message to all Manchester United supporters," he wrote on social media. De Gea started his career at Atletico Madrid but joined United for £18.9m in 2011. The announcement of his departure comes with United manager Erik ten Hag's side hopeful of concluding a deal for Inter Milan goalkeeper Andre Onana. De Gea added: "I would like to express my unwavering gratitude and appreciation for the love from the last 12 years. We've achieved a lot since my dear Sir Alex Ferguson brought me to this club. "I took incredible pride every time I pulled on this shirt, to lead the team, to represent this institution, the biggest club in the world was an honour only bestows upon a few lucky footballers. "It's been an unforgettable and successful period since I came here. I didn't think from leaving Madrid as a young boy we would achieve what we did together. "Now, it's the right time to undertake a new challenge, to push myself again in new surroundings. "Manchester will always be in my heart, Manchester has shaped me and will never leave me." ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/800/cpsprodpb/845A/production/_130328833_gettyimages-1507591755.jpgDavid De Gea got married to his partner Edurne on 1st July, the day he became unemployed...

Manchester United 2-0 Leeds United: Mason Mount will bring dynamism to Red Devils - Erik ten Hag..ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/800/cpsprodpb/17D6E/production/_130364679_gettyimages-1536989122.jpgMason Mount will bring "dynamism" to Manchester United's midfield, according to manager Erik ten Hag. The 24-year-old midfielder impressed on his first 45 minutes for the club, as they opened their pre-season with a 2-0 win over Leeds United in Oslo. Mount, who signed from Chelsea for £55m, played the first half before 11 changes were made at the break. "He will bring dynamism into our game and that was one of our conclusions last season," Ten Hag told MUTV. "His vision is to play the offensive. But also he wants to be multi-functional, he wants to be complete. "When you're playing in midfield, you have to attack, but you also you have to defend. We need to be more dynamic in the midfield department. "I'm sure he will contribute to the success of United because he is a quality player." Ten Hag's starting XI was a combination of youth and experience, with Lisandro Martinez, Raphael Varane and Jadon Sancho joined by young prospects such as Kobbie Mainoo and Omari Forson. German manager Daniel Farke took charge of his first game in charge of Leeds, who are preparing for life back in the Championship following relegation last season. But the breakthrough came on 67 minutes as 18-year-old Norwegian Isak Hansen-Aaroen played in Frenchman Noam Emeran who slid the opener past Dani van den Heuvel. Emeran then turned provider for Joe Hugill to seal the win 10 minutes from time. Mount created a big opening in the 10th minute, passing in behind for Amad Diallo to tee up Hannibal Mejbri but the Tunisian was denied by a smart save from Leeds goalkeeper Kristoffer Klaesson. Moments later the England midfielder was involved again, winning the ball back before attempting a delicate chip over Klaesson from 25 yards which landed on the roof of the net. "It felt great to be on the pitch," said Mount. "We have had that time in training and we have been working so hard, so it is great to show that in matches now. We have been working on a few different tactics," he said. "I really liked the role I was in today. Being able to drop in and build up the play from a bit deeper, but with that license to go forwards and make runs into the box and be involved in more attacks. "I like to start off the press, to give the opposition something to think about and then to combine that with an attacking threat and rhythm of our own." Manchester United's pre-season continues with a match against Lyon in Edinburgh on Wednesday before they head to the United States for games against Arsenal, Wrexham, Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund.

Man Utd fined £257,000 by Uefa for 'minor' Financial Fair Play breach..ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/800/cpsprodpb/3BEA/production/_130383351_hi085490913.jpgManchester United have been fined 300,000 euros (£257,000) by Uefa for a "minor" breach of Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules. They were one of a number of clubs sanctioned by Uefa under FFP rules in place between 2019 and 2022. United said they were "disappointed by the outcome". However, they added the club accepted the fine "for what Uefa acknowledges to be a minor technical breach of its previous Financial Fair Play rules". In explaining the reason for the punishment, United continued that "this reflected a change in the way that Uefa adjusted for Covid-19 losses during the 2022 reporting period, which allowed us to recognise only 15m euros of the 281m euros of revenues lost due to the pandemic within the FFP calculation". Barcelona were also fined 500,000 euros (£428,000) by European football's governing body. Uefa said the Spanish club was guilty in 2022 of "wrongly reporting ... profits on disposal of intangible assets (other than player transfers) which are not a relevant income under the regulations". AC Milan, Besiktas, Inter Milan, Marseille, Monaco, Paris St-Germain and Roma were found to have complied with FFP rules in 2022 but Uefa said it "will continue monitoring their compliance with the settlement agreement during next season". ichef.bbci.co.uk/ace/standard/240/cpsprodpb/17082/production/_130383349_gettyimages-1480747649.jpg

Harry Maguire: Manchester United defender stripped of club captaincy..ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/800/cpsprodpb/14B85/production/_130396848_gettyimages-1494094839.jpgHarry Maguire says he has been stripped of the Manchester United captaincy by manager Erik ten Hag. Maguire was appointed skipper by Ten Hag's predecessor Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in January 2020 - five months after signing for £80m from Leicester City. The England centre-back says he is "extremely disappointed" but will "continue to give my all" in the shirt. The 30-year-old made eight starts in the Premier League last season and is linked with a move to West Ham. United said Ten Hag will announce a new captain "in due course, after he has informed the players". The new captain is unlikely to be confirmed until United arrive in New York on Thursday morning for their pre-season tour. "Everyone at Manchester United thanks Harry for his contribution as captain over the past three and a half years," the club added. Maguire played in 31 of the club's 62 matches in all competitions during the 2022-23 season, with Portuguese midfielder Bruno Fernandes wearing the armband in his absence. His contract at Old Trafford runs to 2025. "After discussions with the manager today he has informed me he is changing captain," Maguire posted on social media. "He outlined his reasons to me and whilst I'm personally extremely disappointed, I will continue to give my all every time I wear the shirt. "I wanted to say a massive thank you to the Manchester United fans for all their brilliant support whilst I've been wearing the armband. "Since the day I took on the role, three and half years ago, it's been a huge privilege to lead Manchester United and one of the proudest moments of my career to date. "I've done everything I possibly could to help United be successful - on and off the field. I will always be grateful to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for first giving me the responsibility and I wish whoever now takes it on every success." Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez were favoured over Maguire at the heart of United's defence last season, and when the latter was injured, Victor Lindelof deputised. England left-back Luke Shaw was also deployed as a centre-back on several occasions by Ten Hag. ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/976/cpsprodpb/3637/production/_130397831_capture.png

Andre Onana: Manchester United on brink of signing Inter Milan goalkeeper..By Simon Stone, BBC Sport.
ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/800/cpsprodpb/1194B/production/_130311027_gettyimages-1258592546.jpg
Andre Onana won the Italian Cup last season and was a three-time Eredivisie champion at previous club AjaxManchester United are on the brink of completing the signing of Inter Milan goalkeeper Andre Onana for almost £50m. The Cameroonian, 27, will replace long-time number one David de Gea, who left the club last month after 12 seasons. Following a further meeting between United and Onana's representatives on Sunday, it is understood an agreement was reached for a five-year contract, with the option of a further year. Negotiations between the clubs have not yet been completed. But it now seems certain Onana will complete the transfer in time to be on United's tour of the United States when they leave later this week. Manager Erik ten Hag knows Onana well from their time together at Ajax and is convinced he can give United the goalkeeping option he has wanted since he arrived at the club just over a year ago. Onana spent seven and a half years at Ajax before moving to Inter in July 2022. He kept eight clean sheets in 24 Serie A games as Inter finished third and also kept eight clean sheets in 13 matches in the Champions League last season - the most of any goalkeeper in the competition. He played against Manchester City in the Champions League final in June as Inter lost 1-0. ichef.bbci.co.uk/live-experience/cps/624/cpsprodpb/vivo/live/images/2023/7/17/fc0f6526-7211-412c-8d4c-5797753fa4c0.jpgichef.bbci.co.uk/ace/standard/240/cpsprodpb/DE93/production/_130397965_gettyimages-1258590747.jpgOnana will be United's second signing of the summer after the arrival of midfielder Mason Mount from Chelsea for an initial £55m.

Marcus Rashford: Manchester United forward signs new contract until 2028..
ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/800/cpsprodpb/8D41/production/_130416163_gettyimages-1553658255.jpg
Marcus Rashford has spent eight seasons as a Manchester United first-team playerEngland forward Marcus Rashford has signed a new deal to stay at Manchester United until 2028 worth £325,000-a-week The 25-year-old had been in talks with United for a considerable period, with his previous contract due to expire in 2024. The striker enjoyed a resurgence under new manager Erik ten Hag last season, scoring 30 goals in 56 games. Since his debut in 2016 against Midtjylland, Rashford has hit 123 goals in 359 games for his boyhood club. Rashford said: "I joined Manchester United as a seven-year-old boy with a dream. That same passion, pride, and determination to succeed still drives me every time I have the honour of wearing the shirt. "I've already had some amazing experiences at this incredible club, but there is still a lot more to achieve and I remain relentlessly determined to win more trophies in the years ahead." Rashford is believed to have dismissed more lucrative offers from within the Premier League and abroad to stay at Old Trafford, committing through to 30 June 2028 and backing Ten Hag to deliver more success. He said: "I can assure you that I will give everything to help the team reach the level we are capable of, and I can feel the same determination around the dressing room. I couldn't be more excited for the future under this manager." Rashford was one of three England players to suffer racist abuse after missing a penalty in the Euro 2020 final defeat by Italy. He had shoulder surgery in August 2021, saying he must "listen to his body", before struggling for form and scoring only five times during a campaign that saw Ole Gunnar Solskjaer succeeded by interim boss Ralf Rangnick. He was subsequently left out of Gareth Southgate's England squad in June 2022 for four Nations League matches. Rashford's form last season turned following the World Cup, scoring 10 goals in as many Premier League games after the restart. He helped Manchester United qualify for the Champions League and scored a goal in the Carabao Cup final victory over Newcastle United. Red Devils football director John Murtough said Rashford has "epitomised what it takes to succeed as a Manchester United player". "He is a brilliant talent but also humble, dedicated and driven," Murtough said. "As he enters his prime years, we know there is still so much more to come from him, and we can see the hunger that Marcus feels to achieve the highest levels of success here at Manchester United. "Working with Erik ten Hag and his coaches is the perfect environment for Marcus to continue to develop into one of the best attacking players in the world." ichef.bbci.co.uk/ace/standard/240/cpsprodpb/1811/production/_130416160_gettyimages-1553658260.jpg
