Feyenoord 'want £30m for Utd target Hancko'

Manchester United might need to pay £30million for Feyenoord's David Hancko.

The Slovakia star, who played against England at the Euros, is reportedly on United's list of left-back options.

The Red Devils were plagued by fitness issues in that position last season.

'Denzel for Aaron swap still possible'

Manchester United ARE in talks with Inter Milan over swapping Aaron Wan-Bissaka for the Italians' flying Dutchman Denzel Dumfries.

AVB is regarded as a specialist defensive right-back, whereas Dumfries is more of an attacking wing-back - which Old Trafford boss Erik ten Hag appears to prefer.

Transfer guru Fabrizio Roman reckons discussions between the two European giants are still at a tentative stage.

But the Red Devils are reportedly wiling to offload AWB a year before his contract expires.

Meanwhile, Inter are in a similar situation with Dumfries.

Onana explains why he chose Villa over Man Utd

Amadou Onana says he snubbed Manchester United to sign for Aston Villa because the league table doesn't lie, writes GRAEME BRYCE.

And Unai Emery was able to offer him the Champions' League football Erik ten Hag couldn't.

The £50milion Belgium midfielder rejected better financial terms from United for a five-year-Villa deal.

Onana claims it was a careful calculation and in the final analysis he believed Emery could improve his game quicker than Ten Hag could.

Asked why he snubbed United for Villa, Onana told Belgian sports paper La Derniere Heure: "I think that's where I should be (Villa). 

"For me, Aston Villa is part of the top of English football. The ranking speaks for itself and is significant. 

"The general public may think that it is not the most glamorous club but it was the best choice for the player I am today.

"Aston Villa is a top club. I went where I felt the right ambition and the best project to make me grow.

"The environment seemed the most conducive to my development and I will be able to work with Unai Emery, one of the most qualified coaches in the field."

Leny set to move into Greenwood's old home

Manchester United's new wonderkid Leny Yoro has bought a £2million mansion which Mason Greenwood once called home.

The £52m defender, 18, is set to move into the rented six-bed, six-bath property on £14,000 a month.

The home in Bowdon, Cheshire boasts an open plan kitchen, three reception rooms, a cinema room and bar.

The property has electric security gates, monitored CCTV and intruder alarm.

The home also has separate au pair accommodation and a double garage containing a gym.

Included in the rent is a gardener, all utility bills and a full Sky TV package - ensuring Yoro doesn't miss any Premier League action.

A property advert for the home describes the interior as "very tasteful with contemporary furniture and immaculate decoration".

Yoro, who arrived from French outfit Lille earlier this month, impressed in his first United game, a 2-0 friendly win over Rangers last week.

Rangers & Copenhagen eye Mejbri

Rangers are battling FC Copenhagen for Manchester United midfielder Hannibal Mejbri, it's claimed.

Gers boss Philippe Clement got a close look at the Tunisia ace, 21, in a friendly against United at Murrayfield last week.

Mejbri has been on loan at Birmingham and then Sevilla last season since joining the Red Devils in 2021.

The Spaniards declined to take up a £17million option to buy him

Red Devils could go for Sof option

Loanee midfielder Sofyan Amrabat could return to Manchester United.

Football agent Giulio Tedeschi claims the Fiorentina star, 27, is a serious option despite the Red Devils being linked to PSG's Uruguayan ace Manuel Ugarte.

Old Trafford chief Erik ten Hag is thought to have been impressed with how the Morocco anchorman finished the season.

And Tedeschi told Firenze Viola, he said: “In my opinion there is a concrete possibility of bringing Amrabat back to Manchester United.

“In my opinion there was some doubt also because it was not known whether Ten Hag would stay.

“Now that it’s certain that he will stay, there are grounds to think about bringing Amrabat back even on loan with obligation, or at a lower figure. The United solution is the easiest.”

Barca 'confident of luring Man Utd target Olmo'

Barcelona are convinced they can land reported Manchester United target Dani Olmo.

Manchester City and Bayern Munich are also said to be monitoring Spain's Euro 2024 attacker.

Mundo Deportivo say Barca have made an opening offer to RB Leipzig of around £33million in instalments, plus about £16m in possible add-ons.

But Olmo's club are understood to prefer a far larger sum up front - ideally his full release clause of £49m in one go.

The 26-year-old notched three goals and two assists in helping Spain win the Euros.

Leipzig favourites to bag 'Utd target' Xavi

Manchester United and Bayern Munich face losing out to RB Leipzig for PSG winger Xavi Simmons.

He impressed on loan for Leipzig last season.

Leipzig CEO Oliver Mintzlaff is said to have held talks with the French champions.

Toney exit in doubt

Ivan Toney's Brentford exit is in doubt after his replacement Igor Thiago suffered an injury.

West Ham and Tottenham are in the hunt for Toney, with Manchester United linlked at one stage - with SunSport exclusively revealing that the Bees were prepared to slash their asking price by £30million.

But those plans may be shelved after Thiago hurt his meniscus.

The Brazilian hitman, 23, scored twice in a 5-2 friendly win over Wimbledon but will miss tonight's clash with Benfica.

It was an excellent start to his time in West London but the shine was taken off by his setback.

A club statement confirmed: "Brentford’s Igor Thiago suffered a meniscus injury during the Bees’ 5-2 victory over AFC Wimbledon.

"The striker, who scored a brace on his first appearance for the club, is unavailable for this evening's game against Benfica and will have further scans next week to determine the extent of the injury."

Man Utd legend backs City boss for England job

Paul Scholes believes England should appoint Pep Guardiola as Gareth Southgate's successor.

Eddie Howe and Graham Potter are rated frontrunners.

But SunSport understands England are set to appoint Under-21 boss Lee Carsley as interim manager.

And the FA are reportedly willing to wait a year to hire their dream manager - Guardiola.

Former Manchester United and England midfielder Scholes told Sky Sports: "This group of players is the best we've had for a while, they play football. Almost as in the Man City way, the Pep Guardiola way.

"Technically very good, they can keep the ball all day long. They just suffered in a couple of areas, they couldn't really score or create as many chances as they would have liked.

"I think somebody like, I don't like to say it but Pep [Guardiola] with this group of players, I think he would get them over the line.

"Look if that's possible I don't know but I think he'd be the ideal man to take this team forward."

United Dumfries swap deal

Manchester United have discussed the idea of a swap deal for Inter Milan full-back Denzel Dumfries, according to reports.

The Red Devils look like they are set to miss out on signing Bayern right-back Noussair Mazraoui with West Ham closing in on a deal for the Morocco international.

And it's understood that United would need to sell Aaron Wan-Bissaka before they can bring in a new right-back.

The Athletic have reported that Inter star Dumfries is one target for United and intermediaries have discussed the idea of a swap deal that would see Wan-Bissaka head to Inter in return for the Dutch defender.

The switch is said to be "possible", but "not advanced" as things stand.
