    He becomes Erik ten Hag's third summer signing following the arrivals of Leny Yoro and Joshua Zirkzee.

    De Ligt previously played under Ten Hag for Ajax, where he was made captain aged just 17.

  • Farewell messages to AWB

    Several Manchester United stars have sent messages of support to Aaron Wan-Bissaka after his move to West Ham.

    The full-back completed a £15million switch to the London Stadium on Tuesday.

    Following the Hammers' announcement, Wan-Bissaka posted a goodbye message to Instagram, with Marcus Rashford commenting: "Good luck my bro."

    Jadon Sancho added: "My family! All the best brother!"

  • Hermoso update

    Erik ten Hag has insisted Manchester United will make announcements "when we have news" amid links with Mario Hermoso.

    The Red Devils have emerged as a possible destination for the free agent defender.

    According to The Athletic, United held talks with Hermoso last week but are not currently pursuing a move as they explore their options.

    It comes after Ten Hag told reporters before the Community Shield: "When we have news, we will announce it.

    "You see the market is quite quiet still but we have done our business, we have done two deals.

    "It is about timings and it is about the market options and [ensuring] in the right moment we do the right things."

  • Ugarte talks

    Manuel Ugarte's agent Jorge Mendes is in England to discuss his move to Manchester United, according to Fabrizio Romano.

    Mendes has also been negotiating a potential transfer for Joao Felix to Chelsea.

    Ugarte has already agreed personal terms with United and Paris Saint-Germain are keen to sell him this summer.

    However, the Red Devils are ready to look at cheaper alternatives if they cannot sell a player.

  • Guehi update

    Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish has provided an update on Marc Guehi’s future.

    The England defender has been linked with Arsenal, Manchester United and Newcastle throughout this summer.

    Parish told Sky Sports News: “Nobody has got to the valuation yet. If you want a superstar player you need to pay superstar money.

    “It’s not near the point where we have to make a decision. He’s a generational talent.”

  • United target's future 'in doubt'

    Ben Chilwell's Chelsea future is reportedly in doubt ahead of the new season.

    According to talkSPORT, the full-back is assessing his transfer options after limited game time in pre-season.

    Manchester United were previously linked with a move for the 28-year-old earlier this summer.

  • Scholes reveals Prem favourites

    Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has backed Arsenal to win the Premier League title.

    I think the favourites are the same as last year. Man City will be favourites, closely followed by Arsenal.

    I do expect Arsenal to be the team to win it this year. I think they’ve progressed over the last couple of years under Mikel Arteta.

    I just think this year is the time where they are ready to win it.

    It’s not going to be easy, there’s going to be a lot of competition because the top seven or eight teams in England are all good teams.

    But I just think Arsenal will be the team to break the Manchester City cycle this season.

  • Man Utd vs Fulham preview

    Manchester United's Premier League season kicks off on Friday when they take on Fulham at Old Trafford.

    United boss Erik ten Hag will be without £52million signing Leny Yoro as he continues to recover from surgery, following an injury on his pre-season debut for the club.

    Rasmus Hojlund, who was injured in the same game, is expected to miss the first month of the campaign with his knock.

    New striker Joshua Zirkzee is yet to get any minutes and would be a surprise starter if he was named in Ten Hag's lineup, with captain Bruno Fernandes likely to reprise his role as a false nine.

    Luke Shaw may feature after returning from injury at the back end of Euro 2024 with England.

    Victor Lindelof didn't play any part against Manchester City in the Community Shield, but his injury is not believed to be serious.

    Meanwhile, Fulham fans will be hoping that new boy Emile Smith Rowe is handed a start in their Premier League curtain raiser.

    The Cottagers' boss Marco Silva currently has no injury issues heading into the Premier League curtain raiser.

  • Scholes' De Ligt concern

    Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has voiced his concerns around the club's seemingly imminent transfer of Matthijs de Ligt from Bayern Munich.

    With Man Utd, we’re talking about players who can’t get into their team.

    "He’s [De Ligt] not playing for them [Bayern], that has to be a big concern, especially when Eric Dier is playing in front of him. That is a massive concern for me.

  • Michael Owen prediction

    Michael Owen predicts Manchester United will finish seventh this coming season.

    Owen told OLBG:

    After the top four, I've gone Newcastle fifth and then I've gone Spurs sixth and then United in seventh and Chelsea in eighth but they could have a good season.

    There is more of a question mark over Chelsea but less about Newcastle, Tottenham and Manchester United, I’m expecting to see similar seasons from them.

  • Teddy Sheringham criticism

    Manchester United legend Teddy Sheringham claims there is a lack of ambition at Old Trafford.

    Sheringham told onlinepoker.ltd:

    From my point of view, having a new football structure and Jim Ratcliffe involved as a minority owner doesn’t mean anything.

    It doesn’t even touch the sides, and it won’t have any significant impact on what happens on the grass. It’s just a new man putting money into the football club.

    Bringing in a new CEO and football executives won’t improve the players or the manager. I can’t see the new owners showing their ambition by bringing in a player that is going to have a transformative effect on the football club.

    The business that United have concluded so far isn’t going to shift the needle. [Leny] Yoro and [Joshua] Zirkzee are both young guys who will need time to adapt to the demands of Premier League football.

    There are no guarantees that they will be good signings - you don’t know what you will get from them. They’re going to be inconsistent.

    Manchester United do not need any more inconsistencies, they need proper players that are going to give you an eight, nine or ten out of ten performance every week.

  • Matthijs de Ligt confidence

    Former Manchester United coach Rene Meulensteen claims summer signing Matthijs de Ligt can reach his potential at Old Trafford.

    Meulensteen told BoyleSports, who offer the latest Premier League odds:

    Matthijs de Ligt can reach his potential in the Premier League, he is a player who suits the division. He is strong, powerful and it helps that Erik ten Hag knows him.

    De Ligt was flying at Ajax when Ten Hag was there and he was one of the best players in Holland.

    I think the move to Juventus didn’t quite work and his career stalled at Bayern Munich because they might not think he is good enough on the ball.

    But United need strengthening and he will do that at centre-back.

  • Anthony Martial reaction

    Manchester United fans have bemoaned the club's decision to allow Anthony Martial to leave after reports revealed a new centre-forward they were considering.

    United supporters have questions Martial's exit after seeing the club linked with a transfer for Everton star Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

    According to Sky Sports, the England international is one of a number of forwards the Red Devils have discussed following the signing of Joshua Zirkzee.

    With one year left on his contract, transfer chiefs believe the 27-year-old could be used to strengthen Erik ten Hag's attacking options.

    But Calvert-Lewin has his own less-than ideal injury history, with 70 games missed through injury in the last three terms.

    However, the striker bounced back from major knocks two seasons ago to play 32 Premier League games last season.

  • Aaron Wan-Bissaka fee

    Aaron Wan-Bissaka has joined West Ham following a move from Manchester United.

    The Hammers turned to Wan-Bissaka after missing out on Noussair Mazraoui, who is going to United.

    And the Red Devils confirmed the England international has moved to the London Stadium following a £15million deal with the East Londoners.

    The right-back has put pen to paper on a contract until 2031.

  • Wan-Bissaka JOINS West Ham

    Aaron Wan-Bissaka has left Manchester United to join West Ham in a deal worth £15million.

    The 26-year-old right-back signs a huge seven-year contract with the Hammers.

    Wan-Bissaka made 190 appearances for the Red Devils, winning the FA Cup and EFL Cup during his five seasons at the club.

  • Fergie's hairdryer treatment

    Former Manchester United player Michael Stewart has recalled the time Sir Alex Ferguson "tore strips off" him during his days at Old Trafford.

    When you're talking about wanting the ground to open up and swallow you, there's one incident that just springs to my mind constantly where I get the fear.

    I was playing for Scotland Under-21s in Paisley against Northern Ireland, and it was right at the end of the game and we had battered them but it ended up being 1-1. We were breaking forward, the ref had given a foul which was never a foul, and I picked the ball up.

    I went to slam it on the ground, but it had been chucking it down, and as I went to slam the ball on the ground, it came flying out of my hand and smacked the ref and I got red carded. The next day, when I was travelling down to Manchester, I'm thinking, 'That wasn't great but there won't be any problems'.

    I got into training and as soon as I pulled into the training ground, one of the guys came into the changing room and said, 'The gaffer wants to speak to you'.

    I went up to his office and he just tore strips off me and he said, 'If you ever think about doing something like that again, your backside will be out that door before it touches the ground'. He said, 'You represent this club and if you think you can get away with that, there's not a chance'.

    And he also said 'don't ever think that I don't know what's going on [on international duty], cause I know everything that's going on.

  • Toney eyed by Saudi Arabia

    Brentford star Ivan Toney is a top target for Saudi Arabian side Al-Ahli.

    SunSport exclusively revealed that the Bees were initially ready to slash their demands to just £30million for Toney.

    A host of Premier League clubs have been linked with a move for the striker, including Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea, Tottenham and West Ham.

    But transfer insider Fabrizio Romano claims there is interest from the Saudi Pro League, and more specifically Al-Ahli.

    Romano reports that the England international is one of the “main strikers being considered”.

    The report adds that the 28-year-old is “assessing his options” and is yet to make a decision on his future.

  • Premier League table predicted

    Manchester United will finish sixth, according to a supercomputer’s latest prediction.

    An AI-powered Opta supercomputer calculated where each team will end up by simulating the Season 10,000 times.

    Rivals Manchester City have been tipped to win the Prem title for a record fifth consecutive time.

  • Man Utd eye Raphinha

    Manchester United are planning to raid Barcelona for ex-Leeds star Raphinha.

    Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag showed interest in the Brazilian winger during the January transfer window.

    And Catalan media now claim Old Trafford officials have reignited their interest in Raphinha, 27.

    Newcastle are keen on the 27-cap international, who had two impressive seasons at Elland Road before joining Barca in 2022.

    Clubs in Saudi Arabia's mega-rich Pro League are also on Raphinha's trail.

    But United are thought to lead the chase for him with the futures of wingers Jadon Sancho and Antony uncertain.

    Barcelona need to sell players to raise funds before the transfer window closes.

    And they are ready to let the former Premier League ace leave for upwards of £50million.

  • Man Utd fixtures

    Here's Manchester United's full Premier League fixtures list:

  • Bruno Fernandes' new deal

    Manchester United star Bruno Fernandes has reached an agreement on a new deal.

    Fernandes is set to become the highest-paid player at Old Trafford as he will receive at least the same amount as Casemiro's £350,000 weekly salary.

    The new contract will be valid until June 2027 with an option to extend until 2028.

    The news, reported by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, ends the speculation around the Portugal international's future - who was previously on £220,000 per week.

    The playmaker had been the subject of exit rumours after United failed to qualify for European football with a record-low eighth-place Premier League finish last term.

    The 29-year-old had previously dropped a huge exit hint that he would consider all options moving forward after the Euros.

  • Man Utd eye Calvert-Lewin

    Everton star Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been discussed as an attacking target by Manchester United.

    According to Sky Sports, Calvert-Lewin is one of a number of forwards spoken of at Old Trafford.

    The striker is into the final year of his contract at Goodison Park.

    However, signing a centre-forward is not currently a priority position for United in the current transfer window and a move is unlikely unless a player leaves first.

  • Imminent double deal

    Manchester United are set to announce the signings of Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui.

    Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano reported that both De Ligt and Mazraoui completed their medicals.

    Contracts are now set to be signed ahead of their switch from Bayern Munich.

    Both defenders will sign in time to make their United debuts against Fulham on Friday.
