“From the academy to the first team, it’s time for me to start a new adventure after 4 wonderful seasons at the club. Thank you to all the people I have met during these 4 years.

“Coaches, my teammates, staff members, workers in Carrington and members of my host family. I’ll never forget what you all did for me.

“A special thank you to you fans who have always supported me, you are the soul of this club. I wish you the best for this season and for the future.”

Lazio confirm Mason Greenwood offer

Lazio president Claudio Lotito has confirmed that the Serie A side have submitted an offer for Man Utd forward Mason Greenwood.

He told Il Messaggero (via Metro): “I offered €25 million including 50 per cent on a future resale, plus bonuses and commissions.

“However, several clubs have emerged to make disruptive actions.

After Juventus and Napoli, it seems that everyone is turning up, trying to jinx it. Maybe they are terrified by the fact that we can take him and they want to ruin everything.”

Marseille have also been linked with a move for Greenwood, along with multiple other Serie A clubs.

Man Utd reject Scott McTominay offers

Man Utd have reportedly rejected multiple offers for Scott McTominay so far this summer.

The Scotland international has just one year left on his current contract at Old Trafford, but Man Utd have the option to extend his deal by a further 12 months, while they reportedly see McTominay as a key member of the first-team squad.

The 27-year-old has attracted significant interest from across Europe and Man Utd have rejected early summer bids, according to the Manchester Evening News.

Turkish Super Lig side Galatasaray are among the clubs interested in signing McTominay, with their vice-chairman Ibrahim Hatipoglu confirming that talks are ongoing.

PSG to bid for Joao Neves

Paris Saint-Germain are set to submit a €70m bid for Man Utd target Joao Neves, as per Portuguese outlet Record.

The 19-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford for several months, although PSG are ramping up their pursuit and could deny the Red Devils.

However, Benfica will only sell Neves if his €120m release clause is met, meaning Man Utd still have the chance to sign him.
