Dusan Vlahovic makes decision on joining Man Utd on free transfer
Following their worst Premier League season in history, Ruben Amorim is overhauling United's attack this summer in a bid to get them back on track.
Forwards Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Jadon Sancho have all been told they can leave Old Trafford, though it is proving difficult to sell them.
In terms of incomings, Matheus Cunha has joined from Wolves for £62.5million while the club are still working on a deal for Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo.
A new No.9 is also desired after Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee scored just seven Premier League goals between then last season.

Given financial restrictions, United are looking for a bargain option in the transfer market and may have found it in the form of Vlahovic who has entered the last year of his contract and wants to leave Juventus.
But the 25-year-old could soon become a free agent, with the Serie A giants willing to terminate his contract early and offload his expensive salary.
United and AC Milan are interested in the Serbian's services and it is said he has a preference between the two.
And it's bad news for the Red Devils as The Sun report that Vlahovic would favour a move to the San Siro where he would reunite with former Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri.
After breaking through at Fiorentina, much was expected of Vlahovic when he moved to the Old Lady in 2022 in a transfer worth over £72m.
Appearances: 145
Goals: 58
Assists: 14
Trophies: Coppa Italia
While hardly a flop, the striker hasn't hit the heights many thought he would, yet he still finished last season with 17 goals in 44 appearances, and has 14 goals in just 36 caps for his country.
Former Juventus and Serbia striker Darko Kovacevic believes both Manchester and Milan would be great destinations for Vlahovic should he depart Turin this summer. More Trending
'I'd tell Dusan to move right away. It's not easy to leave Juventus, and I say that from personal experience,' Kovacevic, currently sporting director at Olympiakos, told Italian outlet Gazzetta.
'However, sometimes you need to challenge yourself again to be happy and reach the top level. Someone like Vlahovic should always be a starter, whether at Juventus or elsewhere.
'We can't afford him at Olympiakos, but Milan or Manchester United could be good options for Dusan.
'Maybe even Nottingham Forest. Just joking, we share the same ownership, but I only work for Olympiakos.'

Arsenal transfer news: Gunners handed Viktor Gyokeres blow as Mikel Arteta prepares for exits
Arsenal are hoping to wrap up deals for Noni Madueke and Viktor Gyokeres in the coming days as Mikel Arteta aims to build a squad that can go toe-to-toe with Liverpool and Manchester City in the title race Arsenal 's transfer window has been a busy one - but not every fan is convinced so far as the club look to give a squad that can challenge Liverpool for the Premier League title. The Gunners have already wrapped up a £60m deal for Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi, while Christian Norgaard has joined from Brentford for around £12m and Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga has also bolstered their numbers. Noni Madueke is set to arrive imminently too after Arsenal agreed a £52m deal with Chelsea - and Valencia defender Cristhian Mosquera is also on his way after agreeing personal terms. Still, there are plenty of outstanding issues to be resolved - including finally sealing the transfer of Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyokeres and offloading some of Mikel Arteta's deadwood. Mirror Football has taken a look through some of the biggest Arsenal transfer stories and rumours. Yet another Viktor Gyokeres blow Is there no end to Arsenal's Gyokeres woes? A transfer looked to be all but sealed for the Sporting Lisbon forward after Arsenal moved closer on securing a £63.5m deal for the Sweden star - with only a few issues to be ironed out. This is a major transfer saga that has dragged on for much of the summer, with Arsenal previously struggling to agree a fee with Sporting, who were playing hardball over the player. The two clubs were said to be £4m apart in their valuations after Arsenal initially submitted a package worth around £60m, before a breakthrough was struck. Sporting director Andrea Berta has been in Lisbon working hard on thrashing out a deal and looked to have got the job done. But a fresh report from Portuguese outlet Record claims that Arsenal and Sporting still can't agree over add-ons in the deal - with the latter wanting them to be "easily achieved", something Arsenal are resisting. Arteta ready for exits All these incomings at Arsenal naturally means that there will have to be some outgoings as Arsenal look to stay within PSR financial regulations. And according to the Evening Standard, Arteta is ready to sanction "several" exits this summer once he has wrapped up deals for Gyokeres, Madueke and Mosquera. The report states that Albert Sambi Lokonga is open to a new challenge and could be sold, as well as Fabio Vieira and Reiss Nelson, after trio were loaned out last season. Another player who could be on his way out of the club is left-back Oleksandr Zinchenko, with the Ukrainian appearing to have lost his place in the team to youngster Myles Lewis-Skelly. Jakub Kiwior and Leandro Trossard are two more players who have been linked with exits, but Arteta will be eager to ensure he keeps some players who are on the fringes of the team and retain a strong squad depth. Trossard agrees Gunners exit Speaking of Trossard, it's reported that the Belgian has agreed personal terms with Jose Mourinho's Fenerbahce over a move to the Turkish top flight. As claimed by the Times, Fenerbahce are looking to wrap up a £20m bid for the ex-Brighton man after Mourinho sold his vision to the player. It goes on to say that Bayern Munich are also interested in the player as manager Vincent Kompany seeks more attacking options. Bayern have already had a bid of £58.6m rejected by Liverpool for Luis Diaz and are now assessing some back-ups targets. Trossard managed to have a positive campaign for Arsenal as he scored ten goals and assisted a further ten from 56 appearances. He started 28 games in the Premier League but has been rotated with Gabriel Martinelli and will be eager for more starts.

Man Utd transfer news: Bryan Mbeumo issue remains as Marcus Rashford sends message
Manchester United still have work to do in the transfer market and remain in talks with Brentford over a deal for forward Bryan Mbeumo as Ruben Amorim hopes to strengthen his team Manchester United's summer started with a bang when they signed Matheus Cunha in a £62.5million deal. The Brazilian was secured from Wolves in June and has now even started pre-season training under Ruben Amorim. But while Cunha has plenty of new team-mates to meet, only one is in the same position as him. The only other player to be added to the first team fold is Diego Leon. United have seen two bids rejected for Bryan Mbeumo and deals have become hard to come by. The Red Devils have not been able to supplement their funds either, with Antony, Marcus Rashford, Tyrell Malacia, Jadon Sancho and Alejandro Garnacho all still at the club rather than sold. Amorim hoped to have much of his squad put in place in time for United's pre-season tour. That deadline now looms over any prospect of a new signing and currently seems unlikely to be met. Mbeumo latest Manchester United and Brentford remain far apart in their negotiations over Bryan Mbeumo. The Athletic claim that the gap between clubs is a 'considerable' one. Talks are said to be ongoing but a deal is 'not imminent' andthere have been 'no significant developments' in negotiations. It's understood that United's offer of a £55m fixed fee plus £7.5m in add-ons falls short of the £65m Brentford are demanding, with the Bees wanting most, if not all, of the money paid up front. Rashford message Marcus Rashford has made it clear he is still training hard despite not being in Ruben Amorim's plans as he searches for a move this summer. The forward has posted his latest workouts on his Instagram story as he trains away from United's first team. Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia have all been told to report for training at 5pm, when Amorim and the rest of the first team have already departed from their day's work. And England international wasted little time in getting started. The 27-year-old posted videos of him undertaking various exercises including pull ups and bench pressing while lying on a medicine ball as he steps up his preparations. United eye surprise move Manchester United are considering a shock deal for former Bayern Munich midfielder Corentin Tolisso. According to reports in France United have made 'initial contact' with the Tolisso's representatives over the possibility of a move. The Red Devils are in the market for a new midfielder this summer having allowed Christian Eriksen's contract to expire. And according to L'Equipe, the Lyon star is said to be open to making the switch. It is also claimed that while Lyon were hoping to build their team around the France star, their financial issues could see them sanction a move for the 30-year-old. Tolisso is the club's best paid star and is valued at over £8.7m. United could face competitition from Atletico Madrid.
