Mason Greenwood: Erik ten Hag avoids questions from media on Manchester United striker..ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/800/cpsprodpb/E458/production/_130065485_gettyimages-1237745135.jpgManchester United boss Erik ten Hag has avoided discussing Mason Greenwood while taking questions from the media during a news conference. The club announced on Monday Greenwood is set to leave by mutual agreement following an internal investigation. The England striker, 21, was arrested in January 2022 but charges, including attempted rape and assault, were dropped on 2nd February 2023. Ten Hag said his focus is on "players who are available". Speaking before United's Premier League game against Nottingham Forest on Saturday, Ten Hag said: "We are not where we want to be with our team. I have a lot of work. I have a lot of focus on my team and so I focus on the players who are available." When asked if he had spoken to Greenwood personally since the conclusion of United's investigation into his conduct, Ten Hag reiterated his priority is the "current squad and the players who are available". Greenwood was arrested last year following allegations surrounding material published online. In a statement this week announcing Greenwood's departure, United said: "Based on the evidence available to us, we have concluded that the material posted online did not provide a full picture and that Mason did not commit the offences in respect of which he was originally charged." In a statement, Greenwood accepted he had "made mistakes" and took his "share of responsibility", but added: "I did not do the things I was accused of." TV presenter and Manchester United supporter Rachel Riley accused the club of "gaslighting" and "green lighting" abuse for their handling of the decision to part company with Mason Greenwood. Riley told podcast The News Agents: "I think it's gaslighting for people to have two statements saying, Mason Greenwood himself saying he's been cleared of all charges - which is not the case, the claims were dropped because the key witness dropped out - and they [United] claim new evidence." She also accused the club of "green lighting" abuse on social media, saying: "This overreaching statement will put wind in the sails of abusers and send a message to victims it's more trouble than it's worth to report alleged abuse. It's so disappointing to see my club contribute to the culture that upholds this."

Manchester United 3 Nottingham Forest 2
Manchester United came back from two goals down to record a thrilling victory against 10-man Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford.

Bruno Fernandes' converted from the penalty spot to secure what had seemed an unlikely three points for Manchester UnitedManchester United came back from two goals down to record a thrilling victory against 10-man Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford. For the first time in Premier League history, United found themselves two goals behind inside four minutes after an abysmal start to the game led to goals for Taiwo Awoniyi and Willy Boly. Once Christian Eriksen had pulled one back by tapping home Marcus Rashford's low cross, and after Casemiro has somehow headed wide of an open net before the break, the Brazilian drew his side level when he bundled home Bruno Fernandes' header across goal after an inspired Rashford pass. United manager Ten Hag highlighted about Fernandes' inspirational qualities as a captain in the build-up to the match and the Portuguese led from the front as the hosts chased a winner. Forest skipper Joe Worrall was red carded for bringing Fernandes down on the edge of the area midway through the second period, and though United could not make the most of the free-kick which followed, the Portuguese kept his nerve to drive home the winner 14 minutes from time after Danilo had tripped Rashford. ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/800/cpsprodpb/3139/production/_130910621_gettyimages-1640356834.jpgBruno Fernandes set up Casemiro's equaliser before completing Manchester United's comeback from the penalty spotichef.bbci.co.uk/ace/standard/240/cpsprodpb/FB2D/production/_130910346_gettyimages-1640329132.jpgUnited fans stay behind to protestThousands of fans remained inside Old Trafford long after the final whistle, chanting against the Glazer family. The 1958 Group, who want the Glazers out of the club, had called for fans to remain behind to signal their continued opposition to the American family's ownership. The vast majority congregated around the players' tunnel area, but others were in the top tier of the east stand at the other end of the ground with a large 'Glazers Out' banner. There has still been no word on the conclusions of the 'strategic review' that was launched in November and which many fans hoped would lead to the club being sold.

Manchester United have placed England international left-back Ryan Bertrand, 34 - a free agent after his release by Leicester - on their shortlist as they look to find cover for injured 28-year-old England defender Luke Shaw. An unnamed team in Albania is the only club interested in signing Mason Greenwood after it was announced the England forward 21 would not play for Manchester United again.

ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/800/cpsprodpb/3BB9/production/_124398251_gossip.jpgManchester United target Marcus Alonso has "made his decision" on a potential transfer to Old Trafford from Barcelona, with the Red Devils seeing the 32-year-old Spaniard as a replacement for the injured Luke Shaw. Alonso is on a United shortlist that also includes 25-year-old Chelsea and Spain full-back Marc Cucurella. Tottenham Hotspur defender Sergio Reguilon, 26, is another name on that list, but Fulham are ahead of Manchester United in the pursuit of the Spaniard. Bayern Munich are looking at making a loan move for Manchester United and Scotland midfielder Scott McTominay, 26, and the German club could allow Netherlands midfielder Ryan Gravenberch, 21, to move to Old Trafford in exchange.

Manchester United have inquired about Brentford's English defender Rico Henry, 26, as they consider options to replace injured England left-back Luke Shaw, 28. United are set to reject West Ham's latest offer for England defender Harry Maguire, with manager Erik ten Hag keen to keep the 30-year-old amid the club's mounting injury problems. Brazil midfielder Fred, 30, appears to have confirmed 25-year-old Turkey goalkeeper Altay Bayindir's imminent move to Manchester United by wishing his Fenerbahce team-mate well at Old Trafford.

Andre Onana: Manchester United goalkeeper recalled by Cameroon boss Rigobert Song..By Kevin Hand, BBC Sport Africa.
ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/800/cpsprodpb/D59A/production/_130928645_gettyimages-1640278055.jpg
Andre Onana was signed by Manchester United as 1st-choice goalkeeper, replacing David De GeaManchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana has been named in Cameroon's squad for their final Africa Cup of Nations qualifier. The announcement comes nine months after he was suspended by his country's federation midway through the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. The 27-year-old Onana joined United from Inter Milan in July, taking over as first choice at Old Trafford from David De Gea, who left after 12 years at the club. Onana announced his international retirement after his suspension was imposed for "disciplinary reasons", thought to stem from a falling-out with Cameroon coach Rigobert Song. In what would be a U-turn, the former Ajax player could line up against Burundi in a winner-takes-all Group C qualifier on September 12, ahead of next year's African finals, to be hosted by Ivory Coast in January and February. Speaking in a news conference after revealing Onana's recall, Song said: "There were never any problems. I said at the last [news] conference that it was all up to him and he knew what he had to do. "If he is on the list, it is because he did the right thing. He is one of the best goalkeepers. The door was always open, it is better to have all these players there than not to have them. "There were never any problems with Andre and, as I said, he was the only one who knew what he had to do and we are satisfied that he joins the group and we really count on everyone." ichef.bbci.co.uk/ace/standard/240/cpsprodpb/606A/production/_130928642_gettyimages-1238063643.jpgThere was no immediate direct response from Onana. Instead, on his Instagram stories channel, the goalkeeper posted a message on Tuesday with the African proverb: "The lie bears flowers but not fruit." BBC Sport has attempted to contact Onana's representatives for clarification regarding his availability to Cameroon. Namibia top the Group C qualifying group by one point but have completed their matches after the pool was reduced to three teams following Kenya's expulsion, with two to advance. Cameroon hold second spot on goal difference from Burundi who they host in the decider. The tournament itself was moved to early 2024 from this summer due to weather concerns with Confederation of African Football (Caf) president Patrice Motsepe admitting the timing is "not the ideal time because of the European clubs, but it is the only choice we have". Players in Europe face having to miss a large chunk of the domestic season to represent their countries. Former Liverpool and West Ham defender Song took over as Cameroon coach in March 2022 but saw his side eliminated at the group stage of the World Cup having only taken a point from their first two games before beating already qualified Brazil in their final match. The 2024 Afcon finals will begin on 13 January, the day United host Tottenham in the Premier League, with the final on 11 February.

Raphael Varane: Manchester United defender to be sidelined for weeks with injury..By Simon Stone, BBC Sport.
ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/800/cpsprodpb/13405/production/_130935887_gettyimages-1640895211.jpg
Raphael Varane joined Manchester United from Real Madrid in August 2021
Manchester United defender Raphael Varane will miss a few weeks with the injury he sustained against Nottingham Forest. Varane, 30, was forced off at half-time of Saturday's 3-2 win at Old Trafford. Club sources have played down suggestions he could miss as many as six weeks, and note the forthcoming international break will limit the number of matches he is absent for. His absence puts a greater spotlight on the future of Harry Maguire. It has been felt the England international could still move before Friday's transfer deadline, despite turning down an offer from West Ham earlier this month. That would seem to be less likely now, with Lisandro Martinez, Victor Lindelof and Maguire left as Erik ten Hag's only senior central defenders. It is almost certain to mean former United defender Jonny Evans turns his currently temporary contract into a permanent one.

Dean Henderson: Crystal Palace sign goalkeeper from Manchester United..
ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/800/cpsprodpb/7DE1/production/_130852223_gettyimages-1521920553.jpg
Henderson joined the Manchester United academy aged 14Crystal Palace have signed England goalkeeper Dean Henderson on a five-year deal from Manchester United. Palace have paid an undisclosed fee for the 26-year-old, who was a substitute during United's win over Nottingham Forest on Saturday. He was on loan at Forest last season but they signed Matt Turner from Arsenal earlier this month. "There's something being built here and I really want to be a part of it," said Henderson. Henderson is Palace's third senior signing of the summer after Colombia midfielder Jefferson Lerma and Brazilian forward Matheus Franca. "This club has got great fans and has a lot of top players who are hungry to succeed," he added. "I'm absolutely delighted and buzzing to be here. I can't wait to get started." ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/800/cpsprodpb/3a89/live/3fd245d0-482c-11ee-b09c-e7f458a34d1c.jpgHenderson has been with United since the age of 14 but never established himself as the team's first-choice keeper, going on loan spells to Stockport, Grimsby, Shrewsbury and Sheffield United, as well as Forest. Another former Manchester United keeper, Sam Johnstone, has started the season in goal for Palace and the 30-year-old was named in the latest England squad on Thursday. "Dean is a fantastic addition to our squad and goalkeeping unit," said Palace chairman Steve Parish. "We have been long-term admirers." Manchester United signed Andre Onana to replace David de Gea as their first-choice keeper this summer and are set to buy Fenerbahce's Altay Bayindir for £4.3m to replace Henderson as their back-up option.

Sergio Reguilon: Manchester United closing in on loan deal for Tottenham full-back..By Simon Stone, BBC Sport.

Sergio Reguilon featured for Tottenham Hotspur during their pre-season match against Barcelona in AugustManchester United are closing in on a loan deal for Tottenham full-back Sergio Reguilon. United are searching for a left-back, with both Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia out for an extended period of time because of injury. Talks with Chelsea over Marc Cucurella failed to reach a positive conclusion but conversations over Spain's Reguilon have been more fruitful. United are also trying to complete a deal for Fiorentina's Sofyan Amrabat. Midfielder Amrabat, who starred for Morocco in last year's World Cup, is under contract until 2024 with the Serie A club. Reguilon, 26, has been cleared to have a medical with United and providing there are no issues, could feature in Erik ten Hag's squad for Sunday's trip to Arsenal. Reguilon joined Tottenham from Real Madrid in September 2020 on a five-year deal but spent last season on loan at Atletico Madrid.

Manchester United have made progress on a loan-to-buy deal for 27-year-old Fiorentina and Morocco midfielder Sofyan Amrabat. However, Fiorentina president Rocco Commisso says "there are many negotiations in progress" for Amrabat, who will stay at the club if a deal for his exit cannot be agreed. Hannibal Mejbri, 20, has been promised an important role at Manchester United if he stays beyond the closure of the transfer window with the Tunisia midfielder attracting interest from Sevilla and Anderlecht.

Manchester United transfer news: Fenerbahce goalkeeper Altay Bayindir joins for £4.3m..ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/800/cpsprodpb/1108F/production/_130957796_gettyimages-1652267289.jpgManchester United have signed Turkey goalkeeper Altay Bayindir from Fenerbahce for £4.3m. The 25-year-old, who has five caps for his country, joins on a four-year contract. Last season he was a key player for Fenerbahce as they won the Turkish Cup and finished second in the Super Lig. "It is a huge honour to join Manchester United and become the first Turkish player to represent this incredible club," said Bayindir. Standing at a towering 6ft 6in, the 25-year-old has established himself as one of the Turkish Super Lig's most exciting goalkeepers in recent years. Having left Ankaragucu to join Fenerbahce in 2019 less than a year after making his first senior appearance, Bayindir quickly made himself first-choice in Istanbul and his €1.5million (£1.2m) fee looked a bargain. i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article30766545.ece/ALTERNATES/s615b/1_GettyImages-1473574794.jpg

"I am ready to fight for this group and show everyone my qualities. "In life you have to be ready for everything and the chance to represent this great club with such an illustrious history is one that I could not turn down.

ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/800/cpsprodpb/d6ae/live/6fda9420-48aa-11ee-9b58-cb80889117a8.jpgManchester United have strengthened their goalkeeping department once again with the signing of Altay Bayindir.
We asked what you made of the transfer. Here are some of your thoughts:Mark: He's a keeper who has no chance of being number one, barring injury to Onana or his possible absence during the Africa Cup of Nations. Someone who will do what Henderson was not prepared to do and be on the bench 90% of the time. A typical Glazernomics signing, but one I trust Ten Hag on. Roberto: So we have signed two goalkeepers to replace David de Gea - trouble is we can only play one. It would be nice if United would explain why they find it hard to finalise player approaches and give everyone an idea why there are ongoing delays. Are the club management silent because the Glazers' privacy rule is enforced, like in the sale of United? Ernst: That's our goalkeeping department sorted - on to defence and midfield.

Here are some of your thoughts:
Charlie: United keep on getting overrun in the midfield so another midfielder would be key. However, with Varane being injured, a new centre-back should be the priority. Nahid: United are a mess. We need Sofyan Amrabat and reinforcements in defence, and probably a striker too, otherwise we can kiss top four goodbye! Tom: Get the Amrabat deal over the line to play alongside Casemiro. We also need short-term cover for left-back, so a Cucurella loan makes sense. Also, with Varane's injury issues, we should look at bringing in Todibo - though this seems unrealistic. Getting Cucurella and Amrabat in should be the priority and then further issues can be resolved in future windows. Nick: The dream closing hours of the transfer window would be selling Mount for £60m - he doesn't fit the system. Sell Maguire, keep Donny van de Beek, buy a defensive midfielder, buy a centre-back and another striker. Seth: Amrabat would be a game-changing signing for the Reds. In all three of United's games this season, you could tell that they were lacking a strong central defensive midfielder. They definitely need reinforcements in defence - at the top of that list would be a left-back to replace the injured Tyrell Malacia and Luke Shaw.

He [Hojlund] is doing well so he will be available. I think for every player there is a big spotlight. At United you have to perform, every position, every player." On Sofyan Amrabat: "I can’t tell because I don’t know if he has signed. I think we have done good business, we constructed a strong squad and we are ready for the fight." On Harry Maguire and Scott McTominay: "Yes you see the schedule really condensed, last season the World Cup, the season takes longer, we played the FA Cup final one week then we take a short break, so we need numbers but also quality and I think with this squad we have depth and quality players. We have a variety of systems." On Arsenal: "This is one of the biggest games in the Premier League and we are really looking forward, these are always interesting games, intense games, two teams who really play offensive football. The audience is always the big winner so always looking forward to it." On the Champions League draw: "We need the depth to go in four competitions. Our players, most of them are international players so they are all over the world, so we have to cover and be prepared for that situation where we can put a team on the pitch."

Manchester United: Jadon Sancho says he is 'a scapegoat' after being dropped..
ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/800/cpsprodpb/5831/production/_130977522_jadonsancho.jpg
Jadon Sancho has made three Premier League appearances off the bench this seasonJadon Sancho says he has been "a scapegoat for a long time" after Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag said he was dropped for Sunday's game at Arsenal because of poor training performance. The England forward did not travel to Emirates Stadium for the game, which United lost 3-1. Ten Hag said Sancho had not reached the "level" required to be included. "Please don't believe everything you read," Sancho wrote on social media. "I will not allow people saying things that is completely untrue, I have conducted myself very well in training this week. "I believe there are other reasons for this matter that I won't go into, I've been a scapegoat for a long time which isn't fair!" Sancho, 23, moved to Old Trafford from Borussia Dortmund for £73m in 2021. However, he has struggled for consistent form and has scored nine league goals and provided just six assists in his 58 appearances. Explaining his decision not to pick Sancho for his squad to travel to Arsenal, Ten Hag said: "Jadon, on his performances in training we did not select him. "You have to reach a level every day at Manchester United and we can make choices in the front line. So for this game he was not selected." Sancho insisted he would continue to fight for his place at the club, adding: "All I want to do is play football with a smile on my face and contribute to my team. "I respect all decisions that are made by the coaching staff, I play with fantastic players and grateful to do so, which I know every week is a challenge. "I will continue to fight for this badge no matter what." ichef.bbci.co.uk/ace/standard/240/cpsprodpb/0A11/production/_130977520_jadonsancho.jpgIn February, Ten Hag spoke of his pride in "magnificent" Sancho after the winger made a goalscoring return to the Premier League. He had spent three months battling physical and mental issues, with Ten Hag at one point saying the England international was not fit enough to play. Sancho returned to action in the EFL Cup semi-final win against Nottingham Forest on 1 February and a week later sparked a comeback against Leeds in the Premier League, scoring the equaliser in a 2-2 draw.
