Hello and welcome to the daily Manchester United transfer round-up - your one-stop shop for all the latest Manchester United transfer news and rumours!
The Red Devils have been linked with a host of players all over Europe, with rumours of a major summer overhaul circling the club. A number of players look set to be shown the exit while Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has also made plans to sign new players.
On that note, let's have a look at the top stories featuring Manchester United in the rumour mill today.
Solskjaer advised to make superstar signings
With the transfer window open yet again, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has found himself busy trying to complete a flurry of deals in order to improve an ailing Manchester United squad. While the Norwegian is targetting a youth-centric approach towards transfers, former player Nani has advised him to splash the cash and land quality superstars.
Speaking on the subject, the Portuguese forward said,
"United need more world-class players. Change something, attitude on the pitch. I remember from my time with [former manager] Alex Ferguson, a lot of games we weren't playing our best, we weren't playing beautiful football but in 15 minutes we played with our hearts and to score goals."
"We run, fight for each ball. That's the way we get all the results. They must have more desire to win every battle on the pitch, every ball, every challenge because just like that they're going to improve."
"As a team, they are not a strong team. They must know that. Obviously, it's still a young team too and maybe the club need to sign some top, experienced players to keep United among the best clubs in the world, with Barcelona, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool."
Paul Pogba to Real Madrid stalled because of one condition
Manchester United star Paul Pogba is incessantly being linked with a move to Real Madrid. The Frenchman is said to be one of the top targets for Zinedine Zidane, who is trying to revive the Blancos by bringing in new faces this summer.
Pogba is also rumoured to be keen on making the move and is also willing to take a pay-cut to play for Real Madrid. However, the deal has stalled due to one condition from Mino Raiola.
According to Diario Gol, the super agent wants the Spanish giants to pay him a mammoth sum of €25 million as compensation for his services in the negotiations. It remains to be seen if Real Madrid cave in to Raiola's demands to ensure the signing of their long-term target.
Manchester United to offer £9m-a-year deal to Adrien Rabiot
PSG contract-rebel Adrien Rabiot is currently in search of suitable new employers with a host of clubs lining up for his signature. The Frenchman, who is a top target for Barcelona and Liverpool, is also being courted by Manchester United.
According to reports, the 24-year-old is keen on moving to Liverpool, who he claims to have been a fan of since a very young age. With the Merseysiders winning the Champions League, the transfer looks all the more likely.
Rabiot has spurned the advances of Manchester United, who are willing to offer him a £9m-a-year deal and a £4.5m signing bonus. It remains to be seen if the Red Devils manage to convince the French midfielder to change his mind and accept a move to Old Trafford instead.
Manchester United will change their transfer plans
Manchester United are bound to be the busiest football club in the world this summer, with the rumour mill churning out reports about a major overhaul at Old Trafford.
To start with, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was initially said to be keen on making five signings this summer. However, the plan seems to have changed, according to the Daily Express.
The Red Devils are now believed to be open to buying as many number of players as they sell in this window. A host of players such as Paul Pogba, David De Gea, Romelu Lukaku, Alexis Sanchez, Matteo Darmian and Marcos Rojo are expected to leave. The likes of Ashley Young and Juan Mata are also being linked with exits.
This will give United the required funds to buy new players and change the entire look of the squad, although only time will tell if these reports hold any veracity.
Matthijs de Ligt hints at Old Trafford move?
According to the Metro, Dutch center-back Matthijs de Ligt could be closing in on a move to Manchester United whilst slipping away from Barcelona's grasp. The Dutchman has hinted at the possibility of a move to Old Trafford, using the word 'challenge' to describe his next destination.
Speaking about his future, the Ajax skipper said,
"I am very excited about what could happen in the near future,’ he told RTL4. ‘I am also trying to stay calm, though."
"I view this as a challenge — that is the most important thing. There are several options and I really want to pick the best one. Logically, one option is better than another. Life abroad could be difficult, but I am still an ordinary Dutch guy — I am no different to the others. Perhaps living abroad will be more intense for me."
