Get all your Man Utd news and transfer gossip below…

  • STAY FOR JU

    Cristiano Ronaldo has pledged to stay at Juventus until 2022 amid shock Man Utd transfer rumours, according to reports.

    The Portuguese star, 35, is under contract at the Serie A giants until the end of the 2021-22 season, following his £99million move from Real Madrid in the summer of 2018.

    The former Man Utd star has recently been linked with a move away but Tuttosport have revealed Ronaldo has an “excellent relationship” with Juve and has no intention of leaving.

    The news comes just days after an unnamed director of football at a top European club revealed he would “not be surprised” if Ronaldo moved back to Old Trafford.

  • BEARING THE BRUN-T

    A bizarre story is developing in Portugal, where Sporting could be left out of pocket from Bruno Fernandes' transfer.

    Man Utd agreed a £48m fee with the Lisbon side in January with additional amounts to be paid in bonuses.

    However, there was a disagreement over whether the money would be paid directly to Sporting in one go, as they wanted, or in equal instalments over a period of four years – United's preferred option.

    A compromise was found when an unnamed German bank agreed to take over the obligation to forward the full amount from Man Utd to Sporting for a fee of around 3-5 per cent.

    However, due to the coronavirus, the bank no longer wants to be exposed to the risk and will only assume liability for half the amount, reports O Jogo.

  • JADON DEAL

    Red Devils rivals Manchester City can land a bigger jackpot if they force a Jadon Sancho bidding war this summer.

    The England winger, 20, is high on the wanted list for Manchester United and Chelsea and a £100million fee was being quoted before the lockdown.

    That alone would earn Sancho's first club City a cool £15m, as they are guaranteed 15 per cent of any future fee following his exit to Borussia Dortmund three years ago.

    But another clause was also inserted in the £9.5m deal that if an offer comes in from any UK club at any stage Etihad bosses have to be informed.

    It was intended to avoid City missing out should they try to re-sign academy star Sancho.

  • HE'S A KEEPER

    Norwich City ace Todd Cantwell admitted that David De Gea “read him like a book” during their Premier League clash in January.

    The Canaries starlet featured for the Norwich side that was defeated 4-0 at Old Trafford in January and had a golden opportunity to deny United a clean sheet, but De Gea made a fantastic save to keep him out.

    The 22-year-old admitted he should have taken a slight step when taking the shot and hailed the Spaniard as a world-class shot stopper.

    He told United Stand's Youtube channel: “He read me like a book. That’s a typical example of ‘I’ve seen it all before son’.

    “It was an important part of the game as well. I genuinely felt the connection, everything about the shot felt right.

    “As I’ve watched it back he took a slight step. Obviously, that’s the difference between a class goalkeeper and world-class goalkeeper.

    “In hindsight I probably should have gone near post. It would have been an amazing place to get a goal to your name, absolutely.”

  • SICK SKILLS

    Fans are begging for 17-year-old wonderkid Hannibal Mejbri to break into Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's first team after the club posted a video of the youngster's slick skills on Twitter.

    The French midfielder arrived at Old Trafford last summer in a £9.3million move after a mystery fallout with current club Monaco.

    The starlet has been showing off his impressive skills at home amid the coronavirus lockdown.

    Supporters were left seriously impressed by the video and many responded with a simple three word message – “remember the name.”
