Updates
July 8 - David de Gea leaves Manchester United

David de Gea has announced he has left Manchester United as a free agent.

The Spanish goalkeeper has spent the last 12 years at Old Trafford and has been sensational for most of that period, as he will go down as one of the best goalkeepers in United’s history.

It was widely expected he would sign an extension to his contract which expired on June 30, 2023. However, they didn’t materialize and he is now looking for a new club.

De Gea won the Golden Glove award in the Premier League last season, keeping 17 clean sheets. He still had a few errors but overall he has been a very reliable goalkeeper for Manchester United and pulls off some incredible stops.

It looks like United will bring in Inter Milan’s Andre Onana as their new No. 1 but where next for DDG? He has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia and some of Europe’s biggest clubs and the 32-year-old will not be short of suitors.

July 8 - Manchester United continue talks with Inter over Andre Onana deal

Manchester United are locked in talks with Inter Milan about signing goalkeeper Andre Onana and it appears they will sign him very soon.

According to Fabrizio Romano, United are in talks with Inter Milan as discussions are ongoing and the final bid will ‘arrive soon’ as the Red Devils hope to take Onana on their tour of the USA this summer. It is believed that Onana wants the move to United to link up with Erik ten Hag who was his former coach at Ajax.

With David de Gea leaving Man United, the race is on for the Red Devils to bring in their new No. 1. Onana has been excellent for Ajax and Inter and at the age of 27 he could be United’s goalkeeper for the next 10 years. He is also comfortable playing out of the back, which is a big deal for the way Erik ten Hag wants United to play.

July 5 - Manchester United confirm Mason Mount signing

Manchester United have confirmed the signing of England international Mason Mount from Chelsea on a five year contract with the option of an extra year. It is believed the Red Devils have signed Mount for a fee of up to $76 million, including add-ons. Mount, 24, will be a valuable addition to Erik ten Hag’s midfield as he can play in multiple positions in attacking and slightly deeper areas.

July 4 - Mason Mount confirms Chelsea exit ahead of Manchester United move

Mason Mount has confirmed his exit from Chelsea as he posted an emotional farewell video on social media.

Mount, 24, is expected to be announced as a Manchester United player in the coming hours as the England international leaves Chelsea after 18 years with the Blues. After joining Chelsea at the age of six Mount has gone on to win the Champions League and become a valuable player and fans’ favorite at Stamford Bridge.

But now he’s heading to Old Trafford and in his farewell message he acknowledged this is what he wanted to take the. next step in his career. Only time will tell whether or not Mount has made the right decision but the attacking midfielder has certainly made a big call and now he will focus on nailing down a starting spot in Erik ten Hag’s midfield.

July 3 - Manchester United ‘in talks’ with Atalanta over Rasmus Hojlund

Despite uncertainty around who will own Manchester United, there is no uncertainty when it comes to Erik ten Hag cracking on with his rebuild. According to our partners in the UK at Sky Sports, United are ‘in talks’ with Atalanta over a deal to sign Danish striker Rasmus Hojlund. The 20-year-old is a rising star and according to Fabrizio Romano the Italian side want a huge fee of over $65 million for the striker. Is this the kind of player United want to sign? Hojlund is a superb talent but many expected them to try and sign Harry Kane, Neymar or someone of a similar ilk this summer. Perhaps United will bring in Hojlund and develop him for a season, then bring in Kane on a free transfer next summer? Erik ten Hag has a great record developing young talents and there’s no doubting that Hojlund’s ceiling is incredibly high.

July 3 - Mason Mount having Manchester United medical

Mason Mount is having his medical at Manchester United, according to our partners in the UK at Sky Sports . Mount is expected to complete his $76.8 million move from Chelsea imminently as the England international had just one year left on his contract with the Blues. United have stepped in to snap up mount and after prolonged talks over a transfer fee, the two clubs finally agreed on a package. Mount heading to United is still a move which is surprising on many levels. 1) he will be delighted about being back at a Champions League club but is he going to play regularly with Bruno Fernandes, Alejandro Garnacho, Marcus Rashford and Antony around? 2) does his style of play suit Erik ten Hag’s tactics? 3) how will this help him get more minutes with England? 4) what the heck happened at Chelsea to force the academy graduate to want out? So. Many. Questions. Anyway, he’s having a medical and this move should be confirmed soon.

July 3 - Manchester United focused on Andre Onana

With David de Gea’s Manchester United future uncertain, it appears Erik ten Hag is going all-in on Andre Onana becoming his new starting goalkeeper. Per a report from Fabrizio Romano , United are locked in talks with Inter Milan about signing Onana but they are yet to make a bid for Inter’s star goalkeeper. With David de Gea out of contract and more talks planned with United after he returns from celebrating his wedding over the last few days, it appears the Premier League giants are scrambling a little. The Spanish goalkeeper was expected to sign a new contract but there have been a few snags and now the Red Devils are looking elsewhere. Fast. The report also says that Feyenoord goalkeeper Justin Bijlow is an option for United as they search for plenty of alternatives to De Gea. However, Onana is their main target.

July 1 - David de Gea to leave Manchester United as a free agent?

David de Gea is officially out of contract at Manchester United after his previous deal expired on June 30. Per the BBC , De Gea is getting married this weekend and no further talks have been held about signing a new deal at United. Per the report, some changes to a previously agreed upon deal are being sorted out and United won’t meet with David de Gea until after his wedding weekend and when he returns from his celebrations. What exactly is going on here? De Gea has been linked with a move away from Manchester United and the club have been linked with a move for Andre Onana, David Raya and several other goalkeepers. It appears this situation could become one of the sagas of the summer as although David de Gea sent out the following message via social media below, there is nothing boring about trying to figure out why one of the best goalkeepers in the world was able to run his contract down and could now, if he wanted to, sign for anybody for free.

June 28 - Mason Mount decision to be made soon

Okay, it appears we are about to get somewhere with the Mason Mount saga and find out where he will be next season. A report from Fabrizio Romano says that Manchester United and Chelsea will sit down for more talks over the England international. He believes that Manchester United will sign Mount if Chelsea agree to a fee of $70 million. With one year left on his deal, that is a lot of money for Mount and Chelsea should do this deal. Considering all of the players they have let go this summer and the players already arriving under Mauricio Pochettino’s rebuild, it is better for Chelsea to move Mount on quickly and get a very decent transfer free for the academy product.

June 26 - Manchester United looking at USMNT’s Taylor Booth

A report from ESPN says that Manchester United are keeping a close eye on USMNT rising star Taylor Booth. The American midfielder, 22, has impressed at FC Utrecht in the Eredivisie and is apparently an alternative option to Mason Mount as United are struggling to seal a deal with Chelsea for the England international. Booth has had a dramatic rise in recent years and the former Bayern Munich academy product is ready for the next step from the Netherlands. Would a move to Man United be too big a jump too soon in his career? We may be about to find out. Worst case scenario he joins Man United and is then loaned out to gain more experience.

June 23 - Mason Mount to Manchester United at pivotal stage


A report from our partners in the UK at Sky Sports says that Manchester United are ‘willing to walk away’ if their third bid for Mason Mount is rejected by Chelsea. Per the report, United will offer $70 million for Mount and have already agreed personal terms with the player. The report also claims that Chelsea want $80 million for Mount but United aren’t wiling to pay that for the England international who has just one year left on his current contract. Mount is a very good player but $70 million with just one year left on his deal seems like a very good offer for Chelsea. With the Blues offloading so many players this summer, many of them at a huge loss, Mount is one of their outgoing players they can get a big transfer fee for. That is probably why they are digging their heels in but it seems like Manchester United are running out of patience. (JPW)
