Manchester United is currently preparing for a match against Lyon in Scotland before taking off for more friendly in New York.
In order to create a team that can compete with Manchester City and other teams for the Premier League title, Erik ten Hag will want to have his players as sharp as possible before the start of the new season. To accomplish that, the Dutchman is going to need support from his managers, as several fresh acquisitions would probably be needed in addition to the £60 million deal for Mason Mount.
In light of this, we have compiled the most recent transfer news and rumors involving Old Trafford.
Goalkeeper reshuffle
As they get ready to push through a deal to sign Andre Onana, United are rumored to have intentions to sell backup custodian Dean Henderson.
Henderson will be transferred to Nottingham Forest, where he spent last year on loan, in a £20 million move, according to Chris Wheeler of the Daily Mail. Wheeler further asserts that Heaton, who is rumoured to have desired a transfer, has agreed to remain at the club for an additional year in order to back up Onana.
Heaton, who played as the team’s number three previous season, will now advance to the position of number two.
Rashford agreement
According to reports, United has withdrawn their consent to a new contract in principle.
The England international had a successful season last year, and The Mirror claims that United have already spoken to him about a new contract. The story claims that United and Rashford have now reached a preliminary agreement on a five-year contract. According to reports, Rashford’s current contract, worth £200,000 per week, will see a “substantial” pay increase.
Rashford being an important part of Ten Hag’s future plans, it will be a huge boost for United.
