After Dani Alves departed for Juventus , Barcelona are now eyeing a move for Manchester United’s Matteo Darmian to replace him. The former Torino man moved to Manchester United last summer, going on to make 28 appearances in the Premier League for Louis van Gaal’s side during his debut season. While he impressed enough in those chances to earn a call up to Antonio Conte’s Italy side for this summer’s European Championship, there is strong speculation that incoming United manager Jose Mourinho is interested in moving him on with the Blaugrana interested, according to a report in the Daily Star. With Alves having left the club after the conclusion of the La Liga campaign, Barcelona are anxious to find a suitable replacement for the iconic right-back. The … [Read more...]

Ibrahimovic set to undergo United medical next week
Zlatan Ibrahimovic will undergo a medical with Manchester United next week ahead of a move to Old Trafford, according to sources . Ibrahimovic, who retired from international football following Sweden's group stage exit at Euro 2016, will sign a one-year contract at United following the completion of his medical. Personal terms on a one-year contract were agreed prior to Euro 2016 after negotiations between Ibrahimovic's agent Mino Raiola and United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward. The talks took longer than expected and a move could therefore not be completed before Euro 2016 began. Reports say, United do not expect any issues with the medical and the 34-year-old is said to be in excellent physical condition. Ibrahimovic, all being well, will … [Read more...]
Manchester United in talks over signing Henrikh Mkhitaryan
Manchester United have agreed a £26.3milllion fee with Borussia Dortmund for Henrikh Mkhitaryan, according to numerous sources. The 27-year-old Armenia midfielder and his representative have held talks with United and agreed personal terms and the player will undergo a medical this week.

Dortmund have been keen to tie the player to a new long-term contract with chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke earlier this month claiming the club were desperate to keep him. He told Bild: “We have been negotiating with Henrikh Mkhitaryan for four months for him to … [Read more...]
Keylor Navas reveals frustration about his failed Man United move
The Real Madrid goalkeeper was set for a switch to Old Trafford last summer as David De Gea was on course to head the opposite way. But a fax machine stopped the deal being processed as Madrid failed to get their paperwork finalised before the transfer deadline. As a result, Navas stayed put at the La Liga giants while De Gea went on to pen a new four-year deal at United. The silver lining for the Costa Rican shot-stopper was his success at the Bernabeu last season, adding a Champions League medal to his accolades. But frustration was admittedly the overriding emotion less than a year ago for 29-year-old Navas. "It’s not good when something like that happens but I’m not someone who is always looking back and I don’t bear any grudges," Navas told … [Read more...]
Man United one of three clubs chasing Neymar
Real, along with Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain, have reportedly sent officials to Brazil to try and broker a deal for the Barcelona frontman. Neymar is locked in contract talks with the Nou Camp club, who have told the Brazil international they will not increase their latest £10.9million-a-season offer. And United's hopes of landing the 23-year-old have been boosted after a move to Real was ruled out. “The owners of Neymar are Barcelona. Any offers that arrive must go through Barcelona,” Neymar Snr. told Fox Brasil . “We don’t have to talk about it because Neymar is under contract and the club know everything. “The speculation is huge and it’s clear that Neymar is always involved in it. The fans know that several clubs are interested in … [Read more...]
Roma rejects United offer for Kostas Manolas
Kostas Manolas has attracted interest from Man United but the Giallorossi are prepared to offer him a new deal which will see him remain at the capital club. After spending the past two seasons in the Italian capital, Kostas Manolas is expected to extend his stay at Roma after the club turned down an offer from Manchester United.

The Greek international became an integral part of Giallorossi, helping the club to a runners-up place in 2015, … [Read more...]
Man United not giving up on signing Paul Pogba
Manchester United are continuing to pursue Paul Pogba as Jose Mourinho sets out his intent to secure at least four summer signings. Mourinho has prioritised signing Pogba but reports suggest the manager is doubtful whether or not the club can secure one of the most highly-sought players of the moment. Nonetheless, United remain confident that they will be able to make a statement signing as the club prepares for the new season. Sources told Manchester Evening News that Mourinho expects the club to clinch a deal that “will make everyone sit up straight”. The club has already signed Ivory Coast defender Eric Bailly – who joined from Villarreal – but Mourinho continues to target a right midfielder, as well as a striker and a central midfielder.
