Dharmesh Sheth from Sky Sports News gives us answers to the latest ins and outs at Old Trafford, including updates on Brentford Forward Bryan Mbeumo and the future of Marcus Rashford …
Has a breakthrough been made on Mbeumo?
Dharmesh Sheth: Discussions will continue on Friday about the last bid of Manchester United for Bryan Mbeumo. Brentford has to give an official answer after this Thursday afternoon was submitted.
The new offer is £ 65 million plus £ 5 million in add-ons and United waiting to hear if it will be enough. Anyway, it is certainly a significant increase in the previous range of £ 55 million plus £ 7.5 million.
United is hopeful that it can be sorted on time to play a role in the club's tour by the US. They will fly out early next week for their first match against West Ham on July 27.
According to Lyall Thomas, it is very unlikely that Brentford will sell both Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa this summer.
It may therefore be that United has acted if they are partially due to Newcastle Intensify Intensify Intensing Intensification in Wissa this week.
Does Barcelona actually want Rashford?
Dharmesh Sheth: Barcelona still has to make a formal offer for Marcus Rashford, but they would like to do a deal, and Rashford would also prefer a move to Barcelona.
The 27-year-old has returned to the United training field in Carrington, despite offering extra free time, but he trains away from the first team, using medical and rehabilitation.
Sky in Germany reports that Barcelona is expected to agree a deal and is willing to follow all in the following attempts to sign Luis Diaz of Liverpool and Athletic Bilbao's Nico Williams (the latter has recently signed a new deal).
Sky in Italy reports that Juventus is now inquiring about Rashford, with doubts about the future of Dusan Vlahovic.
What happens to other editions?
Dharmesh Sheth: The preference of Manchester United is for the permanent sale of five players they want to let go – Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia.
However, loans are also being investigated by interested clubs, although United would like a permanent element that any loan agreements will be attached.
Moreover, they will be creative with all the loans they do; An example was the spells of Sancho at Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea. United eventually made a profit on Sancho's wage when he was at Dortmund because of his individual success and the success of the team.
Simply put, United has inserted a stimulated structure; The better he and Dortmund did, the larger percentage that Dortmund paid in wages. Reaching the Champions League final in 2024 meant that the percentage that Dortmund paid actually exceeded 100 percent.
With the Chelsea deal there was an obligation and a fine of £ 5 million was inserted if Chelsea did not assume the obligation.
How much could United get for a Sancho sale?
Dharmesh Sheth: Juventus insists on Sancho. Conversations are open between Juve, the representatives of United and Sancho, because the Italian club wants both Sancho and Porto's Francisco Concukicao on the wings.
Juventus is currently a permanent deal for Conceicao, which was on loan there last season, worth almost £ 28 million (€ 32 million) and paid in four episodes.
It is thought that there should be a departure at Juve to finance a move for Sancho, and both Timothy Weah and Nico Gonzalez could leave the club.
Marseille is in conversation to sign WEAH, which previously declined Nottingham Forest in the summer, while Atletico Madrid and Inter are both interested in the International Gonzalez of Argentina.
Juve has so far been interested in Sancho and united him up to £ 25 million
Can real betis close a deal for Antony?
Dharmesh Sheth: Real Betis remains desperate to sign Antony. His short -term loan in Sevilla saw him score nine goals and set five in 26 performances for the club.
The player is supposed to return to betis; However, there is a concept that it is a difficult deal to do the finances involved.
Antony cost United £ 85 million – their second most expensive player behind Paul Pogba at that time – when they signed him from Ajax in 2022.
