Plus, Ivan Toney made his triumphant return to football and Chelsea are set to bank a fortune - because of Man Utd forward Rasmus Hojlund. There's plenty to cover, so let's jump right in.

Ten Hag wants Brobbey

Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag is once again keen to be reunited with Brian Brobbey.

The Ajax striker snubbed United in 2022 and should do it again.

Harry Maguire, meanwhile, would be well advised to head the other way and join the Dutch giants.

He is one of the players who could be sacrificed in the summer to fund a major squad overhaul at Old Trafford.

Toney returns

Arsenal and Chelsea target Ivan Toney returned from his months-long gambling ban and instantly showed why he is one of the best strikers in the Premier League.

Chelsea's Hojlund windfall

Chelsea are keen to sell Armando Broja and they used the outrageous fee Man Utd paid for Hojlund as a benchmark for their asking price.

The Blues have also received an encouraging 'done deal' update from Fabrizio Romano regarding a different attacker.

Man Utd's new CEO

Man Utd have finally found their new CEO and it's not the previous favourite for the position Jean-Claude Blanc.

Transfer news

Finally, let's finish up with some more transfer news from around the world. Newcastle and Dortmund are interested in signing the biggest French prospect since Ousmane Dembele.

Jadon Sancho is thriving in the Bundesliga, but he's not the only transfer mistake Man Utd made in connection with Dortmund.

Turkish-German wonderkid Can Uzun is tearing up the 2. Bundesliga and he has attracted the attention of Newcastle and Bayern.

Speaking of whom, Kieran Trippier has agreed personal terms with the latter ahead of a potential move!

Chelsea have made a big transfer decision that could unlock one of this month's biggest deals.

Ex-Man City star Aymeric Laporte has admitted that many stars are unhappy in Saudi Arabia and could follow Jordan Henderson back to Europe.

An Arsenal target has reportedly 'chosen' the Gunners as his next destination.

Lastly, Cristiano Ronaldo is trying to get one of his ex-Man Utd teammates to join him at Al-Nassr.
