Man Utd takeover news LIVE: Sheikh Jassim ‘prepares’ last-gasp bid, Haaland EXCLUSIVE, Rashford doubt for Wolves
[ad_1]
MORNING, UNITED FANS
Marcus Rashford is out but Raphael Varane could be back against Wolves – while United have made a “colossal” contract proposal to Napoli’s Kim Min-jae.
Nice defender Jean-Clair Todibo is also on the transfer radar, plus there’s more transfer talk over Declan Rice.
Boss Erik ten Hag confirmed a leg injury means 29-goal top scorer Rashford sits out this afternoon’s home Prem game.
But centre-back Varane has returned to the squad after being absent with an ankle problem since mid-April.
Fourth-placed United are two points behind Newcastle, who visit Leeds in today’s 12.30pm match.
Ten Hag admits he’s been delighted to have had no game since last Sunday’s 1-0 loss at West Ham.
He said: “We had a week and we needed it, to make a rest, to reload, recharge, to get the energy back.
“Because we had a lack of it in both games, in the last two games.”
There are growing claims United are serious rivals to Arsenal for Rice.
But neighbours City are now also being mentioned in connection with the Hammers’ £100million-rated anchorman.
Newcastle are said to be close to bidding for United midfielder Scott McTominay.
And as for possible new centre-backs, it seems a £50m-plus offer for Kim is likely.
The Red Devils, plus Liverpool and Newcastle, have reportedly watched £40m-rated, uncapped Frenchman Todibo, 23.
