Man Utd reach RECORD Hojlund deal

Manchester United are ready to make Atalanta striker Rasmus Hojlund the most expensive forward in the history of the club. The Red Devils have finally reached an agreement with the Serie A side over a fee, with Fabrizio Romano confirming personal terms were agreed 10 days ago.

Hojlund adds to Manchester United’s attacking options, which could prove a welcome headache for manager Erik ten Hag.

Van de Beek to replace Premier League great?

Donny van de Beek has been linked with a shock transfer to Real Sociedad, where he would replace Manchester City legend David Silva, who has been forced to retire because of injury.

Fred deal scuppered by former Chelsea boss

Manchester United might have been able to offload Fred to Lazio, but former Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri rejected a deal. He’s been right about Man Utd midfielders before, shunning Paul Pogba after the Frenchman begged Sarri to sign him for Juventus.

Liverpool make ‘SENSATIONAL’ Mbappe bid

With Kylian Mbappe in PSG limbo, Liverpool will try to take advantage by swooping for the France international striker on a one-year loan deal. He’s already turned down the Saudi Pro League, but a move to Anfield could prove a lot more attractive.

Man City given deadline for Gvardiol deal
