Manchester United are reported to have begun negotiations over a deal that could see Paul Pogba return for around £100m. Pogba, who is currently on international duty with host nation France at Euro 2016, has also been linked to Real Madrid with compatriot Zinedine Zidane thought to be a keen admirer of the 23-year-old. Sky Sports report that although Juventus are adamant they want to hold onto their prized asset, a world record offer from United worth £100million is likely to be too much for them to resist. Ed Woodward has entered into negotiations with Pogba’s representatives and with Juventus, who the midfielder joined in 2012 after leaving Old Trafford. As well as a bid of around £100m, United are thought to be willing to offer a £300,000-a-week … [Read more...]

Manchester United have confirmed the signing of Henrikh Mkhitaryan from Borussia Dortmund on a four-year contract. Mkhitaryan, 27, becomes United's third arrival of the summer after Eric Bailly from Villarreal and Zlatan Ibrahimovic from Paris Saint-Germain. He told United's official website: "I am very proud to join Manchester United, this move is a dream come true for me. I am excited to play for a club with such an illustrious history and hope to be part of it for a long time. I thank the trust the club and Jose Mourinho have put in me.

Ferguson: Ryan Giggs ready to step up
Sir Alex Ferguson has backed Jose Mourinho’s decision not to keep club legend Ryan Giggs on as assistant manager, as he believes the Welshman is ready for a top job. Mourinho will be unveiled to the press on Tuesday as the Red Devils’ third permanent manager since Ferguson resigned in 2013 after 27 years in charge at Old Trafford. Giggs, who won 13 Premier League titles in Ferguson’s side, brought to an end his own 29-year association with the club on Saturday. The 42-year-old made a record 963 appearances for United before managing them for four matches on an interim basis following the sacking of David Moyes in 2014. He then formed part of the backroom staff for Louis van Gaal but, despite having 12 months left on his contract, has decided to … [Read more...]
Guardiola taunts Manchester United
Pep Guardiola has warned that Manchester City are yet to secure their place in the Champions League -- but said their situation is still "better than Manchester United's." Guardiola agreed to join City in February and said taking the job had not been dependent on the club qualifying for the Champions League. They eventually finished fourth under Guardiola's predecessor, Manuel Pellegrini, and must win a two-legged playoff to qualify for the group stage, with Roma and Borussia Monchengladbach among their potential opponents. However, the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss said it was a better scenario than that facing Jose Mourinho's United, who are certain to be in the Europa League after finishing fifth last season. "I wasn't worried. I was … [Read more...]

Chris Smalling has been in hospital in Bali, Indonesia with food poisoning which led to him fainting, his club Manchester United said in a statement.

United players who have been involved in the European Championship will return to the club later than those not involved.

Hirving Lozano to join Man United after Olympics
Hirving Lozano admits he cannot wait to start working for Jose Mourinho and to link up with Zlatan Ibrahimovic at Manchester United. Lozano has made 91 league appearances for Pachuca and has seven caps for Mexico, receiving his first call-up in February before going on to feature in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers. The player has since emerged as a target for United and his club’s vice-president Andres Fassi has confirmed talks are underway between the winger and the Premier League club. “Already there are negotiations with that team, yes, but there is still nothing finalised,” Fassi said. Since then the Mexico international’s father-in-law has talked up the 20-year-old’s move to Old Trafford and explained it will be finalised following the Rio … [Read more...]
Ander Herrera confirms Giggs exit by paying tribute to the United legend
It's not been easy to keep secrets at United this summer and Giggs' story has been one of those. It started with Louis van Gaal and the constant story that he would be relieved of his duties as his team struggled through last season. That eventually happened, with the shadow of the available Jose Mourinho looming large over the Dutchman. The former Chelsea gaffer was heavily linked with taking over from van Gaal and that ended up happening at the end of May. And it's been followed up by constant talk of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrik Mhitaryan both moving to Old Trafford - and those came to be a reality this week. Since Mourinho's appointment, it's been widely reported that Giggs wouldn't stay as part of his coaching team and would instead leave to chase his … [Read more...]
