Manchester United

Fulham have made a £20million bid for Manchester United’s Scott McTominay. The offer does not meet United’s valuation but the club may be willing to do business at £25m, as McTominay’s sale would go down as pure profit, given he is an academy player. United are not actively pushing him out, but there are realities of balancing the books, with sales needed to raise additional funds for signings. Fulham are progressing with talks in the belief that McTominay, 27, is open to the move to get a fresh challenge and a more regular starting role. There is also interest in McTominay...

Manchester United expect Leny Yoro to miss around three months with a foot injury, while Rasmus Hojlund is expected to be out for around six weeks with a hamstring injury. Both players suffered the injuries in United’s pre-season defeat to Arsenal earlier this week and both will now miss the start of the 2024-25 campaign. United have put an estimation of summer signing Yoro’s unavailability at three months with an initial scan showing a fracture of his fifth metatarsal; although further assessment will be required for the 18-year-old upon his return to the UK to provide clarity of a...

Steve McClaren has left his role as first-team coach at Manchester United to take over as Jamaica head coach. The 63-year-old was given a changed role by Erik ten Hag during his staffing restructure this summer, but McClaren wanted to take on a new challenge with the Caribbean country. The Reggae Boyz had been looking for a manager since Heimir Hallgrimsson resigned at the end of last month to take charge of the Republic of Ireland. Steve Bruce also held talks with Jamaica, but McClaren has been appointed new head coach on a two-year deal. He said: “I am extremely proud and excited to...

Amad has said he is “very happy” at Manchester United and would like to stay at the club for the rest of his career. The 22-year-old has only made 21 appearances since joining in 2021, but finished last season strongly and is ready to push for a regular starting role in 2024-25. Speaking during United’s summer tour of the U.S. he said he had held good talks with manager Erik ten Hag over his future, and is ready to discuss extending his current contract, which runs to 2025 with the option for an extra year. “I am very happy here, I think everyone is happy with me because I smile...

Jonny Evans admits that the decision by Manchester United’s new owners to cut 250 jobs has been “difficult to see”. Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s INEOS, which took control of United’s football operation earlier this year, has made the decision to downsize a workforce of more than 1,100 employees to help cut costs. The process, which has already begun, includes the phasing-out of some of United’s long-term coaches with further meetings next month as the next stage of the process. Evans signed a new one-year contract earlier this month to extend his second spell at the club...

Manchester United are sweating over injuries to Rasmus Hojlund and Leny Yoro after both were forced off in the pre-season defeat to Arsenal in Los Angeles. Hojlund, 21, opening the scoring at SoFi Stadium with a fine solo effort before having to be withdrawn with what appeared to be a hamstring injury only a few minutes later. Central defender Yoro, the 18-year-old headline signing of the summer from Lille, also failed to see out the first half and left the field with an ankle issue after receiving treatment.
