With United set to miss out on Gyokeres they have turned their attention to a 'smart swap deal' for Juventus forward Vlahovic but face potential competition from Newcastle United, Tottenham, Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest. The Italian giants are 'eager to get his high wages off their books' and a source has told the website that "the Red Devils have begun discussions with Juventus over including Jadon Sancho in their deal for Vlahovic". 9th Jul 2025, 16:24 By Kealan Hughes Bryan Mbeumo deal in doubt Tottenham are interested in Yoanne Wissa in a move that could disrupt Man Utd's approach for Bryan Mbeumo. According to the Evening Standard Brentford do not want to lose both key men this summer. United are weighing up a third bid for Mbeumo, with the Bees holding out for more than £60million. 9th Jul 2025, 16:00 By Joshua Hall New Sporting target Man Utd seem as though they will miss out on Sporting Lisbon's Viktor Gyokeres to Arsenal. However, they could still get another Sporting star to jump ship and reunite with Ruben Amorim this summer. According to Football Transfers, defender Goncalo Inacio, 23, is being considered by United. They suggest the Red Devils would like to sign Inacio on an initial loan deal with an obligation to buy the centre-back for £34.5m. Borussia Dortmund are also said to be interested in Inacio, whose current terms expire in 2027. 9th Jul 2025, 15:30 By Joshua Hall Rashford's Mourinho reunion rumours Whispers out of Turkey are sensationally claiming that Marcus Rashford has given the green light to a move to Fenerbahce. Fotomac report that representatives of the Turkish giants are set to fly to Manchester this weekend to hold meetings with Rashford's team and Man Utd officials. While they also suggest that Jose Mourinho, current Fenerbahce boss, has personally called Rashford to discuss the potential transfer with his former player. It's said that Fenerbahce would like to strike up a loan deal with an option to buy. 9th Jul 2025, 15:00 By Joshua Hall United 'optimistic' of Mbeumo deal Despite Bryan Mbeumo's growing frustration at the slow movement on his proposed move to Man Utd, the Red Devils are thought to be "optimistic" that they will find an agreement with Brentford. According to Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth, United are hopeful a deal can be done in time for their pre-season tour of the USA. Man Utd's first stateside fixture comes against West Ham in New Jersey on July 26. 9th Jul 2025, 14:30 By Joshua Hall Boca wonderkid deal Man Utd are reportedly interested in signing Boca Juniors wonderkid Milton Delgado. According to Canal 26, United have been keeping tabs on the 20-year-old central midfielder and are ready to make an offer in the coming days. Delgado, who is also wanted by Independiente , Godoy Cruz, and Tigre, is under contract with the club until 2028. The rising star is part of Argentina's U20 side and is reportedly valued at around £4.7m. By Gyokeres' Amorim praise Viktor Gyokeres is full of praise for former manager Ruben Amorim despite being poised to snub Manchester United for rivals Arsenal. Speaking to L'Equipe, Gyokeres said: "We have a lot of amazing memories together as a team, winning two championships in a row, for the first time in 71 years I think it is, it's an amazing achievement. "Of course, Amorim played a big part of this because he was the one who really wanted me here and his style of football that we played under him suited me perfectly. I can't thank him enough."

EXCLUSIVE Revealed: Lord Seb Coe to spearhead Man United's plans to build a new 100,000-seater stadium as club hope London 2012 chief can settle land dispute
Lord Seb Coe is to spearhead Manchester United 's plans for a new stadium – with officials aiming to host the women's World Cup final at the 100,000-capacity venue in 2035. Mail Sport understands that the appointment of the London 2012 supremo is a huge boost, with the club at loggerheads with a nearby business over a piece of land vital to the vast project that would see the Premier League giants leave Old Trafford. United still hope to be in their new home in time for the 2030-31 season. But those with knowledge of the matter have disclosed that it has been complicated by a failure to come to an agreement over the Freightliner Terminal, behind the Stretford End. It is thought that landowners Brookfield remain a substantial distance from United in terms of valuation. There is a view that they are attempting to cash-in, given the sudden interest in the land. And should no agreement be reached, Coe could step in and force a compulsory purchase order. The Olympic legend will tonight be announced as the 'Chair-Designate' of the Mayoral Development Corporation (MDC) for the Old Trafford Regeneration project by Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham, as part of the unveiling of a 10-year growth plan for the region. A close friend of United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the influential 68-year-old had previously led the Old Trafford Regeneration Task Force – a group set up by the club with the objective of exploring options for developing a world-class football stadium and regenerating the surrounding area, which also featured the likes of Gary Neville. Coe will now be influential in the next stage of the project. Last week marked the 20th anniversary of London being awarded the 2012 Games, in a stunning victory overseen by Coe. The middle distance, two-time gold medallist took over as chair of the bid around a year before the vote, at a time when some suggested that London was so far behind rivals Paris that they should withdraw from the process. While United's overwhelming priority this summer is to turn things around on the pitch, work has been continuing behind-the-scenes on the stadium plan. Concept images have been released via Lord Norman Foster, the award-winning architect. A tender is out for designers to come forward with final proposals. United believe the hiring of Coe represents a major step forward. The MDC is a statutory body with powers to purchase land and drive the project forward and his input will be substantial. Feasibility work is ongoing. One key element will be the utilisation of the stadium – which would be the biggest in the country – as the so-called Wembley of the North. Talks are thought to have already taken place with FIFA on hosting fixtures in the 2035 tournament, including the final. The stadium forms the centrepiece of a wider regeneration of the area. United have said they will seek public funding for infrastructure of the project, but will not look for money for the stadium build. Coe's appointment needs to be signed off by government, which is viewed as a formality. He said: 'I'm delighted that I've been asked to be the chair designate of the proposed Old Trafford Mayoral Development Corporation. 'Throughout my career, I've seen the difference that sports-led regeneration can make in fostering strong communities and acting as a catalyst for economic growth. That was certainly true of the London 2012 Olympics and Paralympics – and now, I believe, Greater Manchester's moment has come. 'Working with Trafford Council and the Mayor, there's huge potential to bring new homes and jobs to the area around the Manchester United stadium. And looking ahead, I see a chance to bring the FIFA Women's World Cup to a new Old Trafford Stadium in 2035. The home nations are the sole bidder, which presents a rare opportunity to bid to host the global football family.' Omar Berrada, United chief executive, said: 'This is an exciting decade for the region, and we warmly welcome the inclusion of the Old Trafford Regeneration project at the heart of the Greater Manchester Strategy. 'We are also delighted by the appointment of Lord Coe as Chair-Designate of the Mayoral Development Corporation; the continuity it brings for the wider project will be a huge positive. In addition, Lord Coe's proven leadership and track record in delivering transformational projects will be invaluable as we work together to turn our collective vision into reality.'
