Manchester United are looking to make late additions before Tuesday’s transfer deadline, with INEOS still working to strengthen Michael Carrick’s squad in key areas. Two positions remain firmly on the agenda at Old Trafford, with the club seeking a new left-back and an additional forward option before the window closes. United have already explored left-back targets, most recently making an enquiry over Aston Villa’s Ian Maatsen across the weekend, though Villa are reluctant to sell and are preparing to offer the Netherlands international a new contract. In attack, Carrick currently has Benjamin Sesko and Joshua Zirkzee as central options, with…

Arsenal are reportedly considering a loan move for Manchester United winger Marcus Rashford as Gabriel Martinelli edges closer to the exit door at the Emirates. According to The Independent’s Miguel Delaney, the Gunners could pursue a temporary deal for the England international once Martinelli’s departure is confirmed. Arsenal have made just one attacking signing this summer, bringing in Christos Tzolis as a replacement for Leandro Trossard on the left flank. The Greek winger has already chipped in with a couple of assists since arriving, offering an encouraging start to life in north London. However, Arsenal are keen to add further…
Liverpool and Chelsea are both eyeing Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott, but securing a deal looks increasingly difficult given the club’s firm stance. Bournemouth are adamant that Scott will not be leaving this summer, with the club reportedly refusing to even put a price on his head to discourage late bids. Chelsea have already seen a £64 million bid rejected, and reports indicate they have had three separate offers turned down for the highly-rated midfielder.

Manchester United’s summer window is entering its final and most critical phase, with Michael Carrick still searching for reinforcements before Tuesday night’s deadline. The Red Devils were dealt an early reality check as they suffered an opening day defeat to newly-promoted Hull City, underlining the need for further squad depth. Three new midfielders have already arrived at Old Trafford this summer, but Carrick’s squad clearly still carries vulnerabilities that require addressing before the window slams shut. Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans made their United debuts last weekend, though supporters may have to wait a little longer before seeing the club’s…
Grealish has made his preference clear, with journalist Ben Jacobs reporting that the Manchester City winger wants to rejoin Everton this summer. The 30-year-old spent last season on loan at Goodison Park, registering two goals and six assists across 20 Premier League appearances before a foot injury ended his campaign in January. His performances were particularly impressive in the early weeks, as he registered four assists in his first three league games before a slight dip in form mid-season. Since returning to Manchester City, Grealish has featured only as a substitute in a handful of matches, making a permanent departure…
Manchester United have identified Chelsea defender Josh Acheampong as a transfer target ahead of the upcoming summer window, according to journalist Ben Jacobs. The 20-year-old right-back has attracted interest from United as the club looks to strengthen its options across the defensive line this summer. Acheampong came through the Chelsea youth academy before breaking into the first team, establishing himself as a versatile defender capable of operating at right-back and in a back three. Despite his quality, the England Under-21 international has struggled to earn consistent playing time at Stamford Bridge, with Chelsea’s deep defensive squad limiting his opportunities. Acheampong…
