FootballTransfers runs through the latest Manchester United football transfer news updates, including the latest on Leny Yoro, Jonathan Tah and Mason Greenwood.

Positive Leny Yoro update

Manchester United are witnessing a 'favourable trend' in talks with Leny Yoro, according to French media.

The French defender has set his sights on joining Real Madrid, however Man Utd have seen a bid accepted by Lille and a move is possible.

According to French journalist Nabil Djellit, the total value of Man Utd’s proposal stands at €62 million, divided into a guaranteed payment of €50 million and a further €12m in bonuses.

Crucially, Djellit now reports that Man Utd have opened contract talks with Yoro, which seems to suggest that the player's transfer stance may be softening. Indeed, he claims that there is currently a 'favourable trend and open door to Man Utd.'

Real Madrid remain in the picture, but it appears highly unlikely that they will match the Red Devils' offer. The ball is firmly in Yoro's court and it appears as though Man Utd may be edging towards landing a real transfer coup.

Marseille reach Mason Greenwood agreement

Marseille have reached an agreement in principle to sign Man Utd forward Mason Greenwood on a permanent deal.

The Ligue 1 club have already agreed a fee with the Red Devils and Greenwood has now accepted personal terms, as per David Ornstein.

As a result, the move is close to being finalised, although Greenwood must still complete a medical and sign his contract with Marseille.

The 22-year-old spent last season on loan at Getafe and is close to sealing a permanent Man Utd exit. Multiple Serie A clubs were interested in Greenwood, including Lazio, but he seems destined to join Marseille instead.

Man Utd want Jonathan Tah

Man Utd are reportedly interested in signing Bayer Leverkusen centre-back Jonathan Tah as their deal for Matthijs de Ligt has stalled.

Tah has been expected to join Bayern as De Ligt’s replacement, but Man Utd are aware that the Bavarians are yet to reach an agreement and they have enquired about a possible summer deal, as per Florian Plettenberg.

Furthermore, De Ligt’s potential move to Old Trafford hasn’t yet been finalised, with Man Utd unable to agree a fee thus far. As a result, it seems as though Tah is viewed as an alternative if the Red Devils aren’t able to sign De Ligt.

Jeremie Frimpong hope

Bayer Leverkusen star Jeremie Frimpong is reportedly eager to leave the club, despite their historic 2023-24 campaign.

The Netherlands international has previously been linked with a move to Man Utd, although rumours of an Old Trafford switch have died down in recent weeks.

However, according to Sky Germany, he is desperate to leave Leverkusen this summer, having already wanted out last year.

Frimpong has a €40-€45m release clause that expires this week, and Man Utd could feasibly look to pursue a move as they continue to target multiple Dutch stars.
