Man Utd won't play Atalanta's Hojlund 'games' - Romano

Man Utd will not entertain Atalanta 'games' about striker Rasmus Hojlund as they prepare a bid for the Danish striker.

The 20-year-old hotshot is one of Europe's most sought-after forwards, and the Italian Serie A club want a fee which reflects that.

Reports suggest they are talking about €90-100m for the 20-year-old - but Erik ten Hag and the United brass WILL NOT entertain that per transfer guru Fabrizio Romano.

We have already told you exclusively during the past month that personal terms are agreed with Hojlund for a move to Old Trafford - and Romano has backed that up. A five-year deal - with the option for a further year - is in place.

Man Utd to rival Arsenal and Chelsea for Ajax star Kudus

Man Utd are set to rival Chelsea and Arsenal for the signature of Ajax forward Mohammed Kudus as their pursuit of Rasmus Hojlund continues to drag on.

The Red Devils have sounded out Hojlund as their first-choice summer target as they look to upgrade their options at the sharp-end of the pitch, but Atalanta’s valuation of the Danish international is proving to be an obstacle.

Personal terms have been agreed - as exclusively revealed by FootballTransfers - but Man Utd have not submitted an offer deemed acceptable by Atalanta.

As a result, they are looking at potential alternatives in case the transfer falls through and have landed on Ajax and Ghana star Kudus, according to The Times.

Erik ten Hag played a key role in bringing Kudus to Ajax during his time at the Eredivisie club and sees him as a player who is capable of playing through the middle as well as slightly deeper.

West Ham SHOCKED by Man Utd McTominay valuation

Man Utd will not accept less than £40m for midfielder Scott McTominay as West Ham step up their interest in the Scottish star.

The 26-year-old will find game time limited next season with Casemiro and new signing Mason Mount ahead of him in the pecking order. United are also interested in Fiorentina's Morocco midfielder Sofyan Amrabat.

The Hammers are known admirers of McTominay and some media reports on Tuesday suggested they had made an initial offer for him.

The London club - according to The Mirror - are shocked by United's valuation. The player is under contract through to 2025 with the option for the Red Devils to extend that by a further year.

West Ham are also reportedly showing interest in former United capitain and central defender Harry Maguire.

Man Utd striker completes EXIT as ten Hag plans fall into place

Anthony Elanga has completed his move away from Man Utd and the young striker has landed with Nottingham Forest.

The 21-year-old Swedish international signed on the dotted line to continue his Premier League career at the City Ground next season.

Elanga showed flashes of potential during his spell with United, but not the consistent brilliance to prove to Erik ten Hag that he could be a first-team reglar.

Man Utd target rejects Old Trafford move for Olympic glory

Zion Suzuki has rebuffed Manchester United's approaches, according to Japanese media.

The American-born Japanese goalkeeper became the subject of shock links to the Red Devils before they completed the signing of Andre Onana for €52.5 million from Inter.

Suzuki is a one-time senior international, but he has mostly been a bit-part player for Urawa Reds in recent times, hence the surprise about his potential move. He featured prominently in the early stages of the 2021/22 Asian Champions League, but the latter rounds - which only concluded in recent months - saw him drop back down to the bench as Urawa upset Saudi giants Al-Hilal to claim their third ACL title.

The links to United weren't just baseless rumours, however. There was concrete interest and Fabrizio Romano even claimed that United could still sign Suzuki despite the arrival of Onana, with the 20-year-old then acting as back-up. With the sale of Dean Henderson seemingly imminent, United want to bring in another shot-stopper.

Indeed, talks with Suzuki appear to have been ongoing until recently, but reports in Japan now suggest that he has made his final decision.

According to Sponichi Annex, Suzuki has turned down the chance to move to United, despite "being shaken by the interest from one of the world's leading mega clubs."

This he did because he wants to get game time under his belt ahead of the Paris Olympics. He is determined to fight for his place in Saitama and supplant 37-year-old club legend Shusaku Nishikawa, or to move to a club where he is guaranteed consistent minutes.
