Latest MU Transfer News 18/7
Officially sign new player
Manchester United has successfully signed center-back Leny Yoro from Lille. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the fee paid by the Red Devils is 50 million euros, plus an additional 12 million euros in add-ons. The 18-year-old defender’s contract will last for 5 years, until September 2029, with an option to extend for another year.
It is known that to secure Yoro, Manchester United had to compete fiercely with Real Madrid for a long period.
Gareth Southgate coming soon?
According to the latest report from The Sun, former England national team manager Gareth Southgate has signed a contract with a new representative, Jimmy Worrall, who is very close and has a strong relationship with Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
Moreover, the newspaper also confirms that the 53-year-old strategist has sought Worrall’s advice on a new job after leaving the Three Lions. It is believed that for these reasons, Gareth Southgate is highly likely to work at Old Trafford before the season starts, in a role that is not as a head coach.
No sale for McTominay
According to Football London, Manchester United has rejected Fulham’s latest offer for Scott McTominay. It is known that the Red Devils want at least 30 million pounds for their midfielder.
Scott McTominay has one year left on his contract with an automatic one-year extension clause. Manchester United is not under pressure to sell, which is why the London-based transfer site believes the Manchester club remains very firm.
Greenwood to Marseille
According to Italian transfer expert Romano, Mason Greenwood will join Olympique Marseille as negotiations have been completed. Greenwood will undergo a medical examination soon and will start the new season with a new team, and he will not return to Manchester United.
Sancho’s future uncertain
Jadon Sancho’s return to Carrington Training Centre for pre-season training raises many questions about his future. It is unclear if the conflict between Sancho and Ten Hag has been resolved, and if not, which team wants to acquire the English forward at this time?
