Good morning, Manchester United supporters!
Dutch starlet Jurrien Timber looks set to stay at Ajax despite keen interest from Manchester United.
The 21-year-old, who can play center-back or right-back, is considered one of Europe’s top young defenders, having succeeded under Erik ten Hag’s coaching in Amsterdam.
Timber was generally expected to follow his former manager to Old Trafford this summer, but according to Dutch journalist Mike Verweij (via the Manchester Evening News), the player now prefers to stay in the Netherlands.
Meanwhile, according to Calcio Mercato, Manchester United has taken “solid moves” toward signing Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot.
According to the Italian newspaper, the 27-year-old French international is mulling a move away from Turin, with United or Paris Saint-Germain his most likely destinations.
Rabiot is anticipated to be available for roughly €15 million with only one year left on his current contract with the Old Lady.
According to the publication, a transfer price of this magnitude would ‘not be an issue’ for the Red Devils.
Meanwhile, reports of Frenkie de Jong’s leaving have led to him clearing out his locker at Barcelona’s training field.
In recent months, the midfielder, 25, has been widely linked with a move to Manchester United.
He has totally wiped out his locker at Barcelona’s training site, according to Spanish outlet AS.
He’s also refusing to rule out a move away, despite the fact that Manchester United is the only club interested.
Finally, according to a stunning revelation, Cristiano Ronaldo wants to leave Manchester United this summer.
According to La Repubblica, the Old Trafford legend is looking for fresh pastures since he does not believe he is a part of new United manager Erik ten Hag’s long-term plans.
According to the article, Ten Hag is contemplating a major squad revamp, and Ronaldo isn’t happy about it.
It’s also said that his agent, Jorge Mendes, is looking for a new club for the Portuguese attacker.
According to the article, Sporting Lisbon and Roma, both managed by Ronaldo’s former manager Jose Mourinho, have emerged as probable destinations for the dissatisfied striker.
However, it is unclear how any club will be able to afford Ronaldo’s massive weekly wage of £480,000.
