FootballTransfers runs through the latest Man Utd football transfer news updates, including the latest on Leny Yoro, Adrien Rabiot and Jonathan Tah.

Leny Yoro forced to join Man Utd

Man Utd are close to announcing the signing of French defender Leny Yoro after agreeing a €62 million deal to sign the teenager.

Yoro's preference was always to join Real Madrid, but Man Utd have swooped and he is set to join the Red Devils after completing his medical at Old Trafford.

However, according to Marca Yoro was threatened by his club Lille to accept United's offer or face not playing competitive football for an entire year.

Given those alleged threats, Yoro practically did not have another choice in the matter. As an 18 year old with so much senior experience under his belt, playing football week in week out will have been his priority.

Joao Neves to PSG

Man Utd have been linked with a move for Benfica midfielder Joao Neves for the past year, but he is set to join Paris Saint-Germain instead.

The Portuguese international is closing in on a move to the Parc des Princes, as per O Jogo.

As well as paying €70m for Neves’ services, PSG are also set to include ex-Benfica midfielder Renato Sanches in the deal.

Man Utd’s hopes of signing PSG midfielder Manuel Ugarte may be boosted by Neves’ imminent arrival in Paris.

Man Utd want Adrien Rabiot

Adrien Rabiot is among Man Utd’s summer transfer targets following his Juventus exit.

The France international is now a free agent after his contract in Turin expired at the end of June, and Rabiot is one of Man Utd’s midfield options, as per Manchester World.

The Red Devils are reportedly hoping to sell Casemiro, Hannibal Mejbri and Scott McTominay in order to fund their summer business, but Rabiot would be a bargain pick-up on a free transfer.

Jonathan Tah hope

Bayer Leverkusen want to sign ex-Liverpool defender Joel Matip as they prepare for Jonathan Tah’s summer departure, as per Sky Germany.

The Germany international has been linked with Bayern Munich, but Man Utd have submitted an enquiry for Tah and reportedly view him as an alternative to Matthijs de Ligt.

Matip’s proposed move to Leverkusen could therefore open the door for Man Utd to sign Tah.
