Man Utd news LIVE: Erik ten Hag review in ‘FINAL STAGES’, Harry Maguire OUT of England squad, Jarrad Branthwaite latest

Williams message

Brandon Williams has shared a farewell post to social media following his release by Manchester United.

The academy graduate is set to leave the club when his contract expires at the end of this month.

Alongside a video shared to Instagram, Williams wrote: "I always hoped I would have never had to make this post but here we are.

"Since the age of 7 this Manchester United football club has been part of my life from the cliff to Carrington day in day out. But to have been able to make brothers which will last a lifetime I want to thank my teammates, especially the ones I’ve shared the past 17 years with.

"Thank you to the staff, the kitmen, maintenance workers, security, and physios I could go on and on you were all amazing and of course the coaches.

"Then most importantly THANKYOU to you fans the backbone of the club the reason we work so hard for to be able to perform at the highest level because you all deserve it. Watch this space! OVERANDOUT ONCE A RED ALWAYS A RED!"

Head Ter-ner

Edin Terzic has emerged as a target for Manchester United, according to reports.

The Borussia Dortmund manager could replace Erik ten Hag if he is sacked as United boss.

Sport Bild claim the Red Devils may turn to Terzic this summer after he took his side to the Champions League final.

Leicester have also been linked with the former West Ham assistant.

Greenwood wanted

Benfica reportedly want to sign Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood this summer.

The 22-year-old spent last season on loan at Getafe but will not return to the club ahead of the new campaign.

According to Record, Benfica are ready to rival Juventus for Greenwood's signature.

The report adds the Portuguese giants' chief Rui Pedro Braz has already met with Greenwood and his dad.

Thuram target

Khephren Thuram is still a target for Manchester United this summer, according to L'Equipe.

The Nice midfielder was strongly linked with a move to Old Trafford 12 months ago.

Thuram continues to be highly sought after by clubs across Europe, including Juventus and AC Milan.

The report adds that Thuram could cost as little as £17million.

United blow

Manchester United remain in the race to sign Leny Yoro but are not his preferred destination.

According to L'Equipe, the 18-year-old defender is keen to join Real Madrid from Lille this summer.

The report adds that Lille are unlikely to receive their initial £34million asking price for the teenager.

Yoro, who made 32 Ligue 1 appearances last season, is set to enter the final year of his contract.

Southgate on Maguire

Gareth Southgate has admitted it was a "difficult call" to leave Harry Maguire out of his final Euro 2024 squad.

The Manchester United defender missed out on the 26-man list due to a calf injury.

Southgate explained: "It was another really difficult call. You know how I feel about Harry Maguire, what he has done for England and what he has done for me as a manager."

Rice hails Mainoo

Declan Rice believes the "future is looking bright" for England with the likes of Kobbie Mainoo in their Euro 2024 squad.

Speaking during Thursday's press conference, the Arsenal midfielder said: "I think we have seen in the last camp, against Belgium and Brazil, what Kobbie could do.

"Obviously in the last six months - and all season really - what he has done at Manchester United, he fully deserves his place in the squad.

"Adam played his first half of the season in the Championship, but he has come from Crystal Palace now. He has been outstanding and I think in training he has impressed a lot of the players.

"He is so composed and calm on the ball. He has got a beautiful left foot, crisp passing, and is all-round just a really down-to-earth boy who wants to learn. He is still only 20 but to be on the plane to go to his first European Championships, what a moment for him and his family.

"I know he is one who won't take it for granted. He will be ready when called upon. I think you could see the other night how composed he is and he is ready for the big stage.

"They are two great additions. The future is looking bright for England’s midfield."

United swap deal

Juventus remain keen on a swap deal to bring Manchester United's Mason Greenwood to the club this summer.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the winger has given his approval for the deal and Juve have made an early approach.

United are understood to want £34million for Greenwood, but Juventus are prepared to include a player in the deal.

Tottenham target Samuel Iling-Junior is said to be a potential candidate for a swap deal.

Maguire out of England squad

Harry Maguire has not made the final cut for Gareth Southgate's England squad.

The defender had been nursing a calf injury since April and will not recover in time for the tournament.

He was joined by Jack Grealish in missing out.

Maguire breaks silence

Harry Maguire has confirmed he is not part of England’s final 26-man squad for Euro 2024.

In an Instagram post, he wrote: “I am devastated not to have been selected to play for England at the Euros this summer.

“Despite my best efforts, I have not been able to overcome an injury to my calf. Maybe I pushed myself too hard, to try and make it. Simply, I am absolutely gutted.

“For me, representing England is the highest honour. It means everything to me. If I can’t help the team as a player, I will support them as a fan – along with the rest of the country. Go and win it boys.

“Next, I will return to the supervision of the Manchester United medical team in order to prepare for next season.”

Fergie snub

Paul Gascoigne has revealed a furious Fergie refused to speak to him for six years after he turned down United.

Speaking on The Rest Is Football podcast, Gascoigne recalls: "I think it took him six years to speak to us again," after he decided to join Spurs instead.

He claims Fergie said he would sign him if Eric Cantona left, but the Frenchman ended up staying and Gazza moved to Rangers.

United blow

Manchester United have been dealt a blow in their hopes of signing long-term target Joshua Zirkzee.

The Bologna forward was strongly linked with the Red Devils throughout last season.

However, Fabrizio Romano reports AC Milan are set to trigger his £34million release clause.

Talks over personal terms are also underway between Milan and Zirkzee’s representatives.
