Manchester United have reportedly submitted an offer for RB Salzburg striker Benjamin Sesko.

Erik ten Hag is keen to bring in a new attacker before deadline day. Cristiano Ronaldo ’s future is uncertain amid his desire to leave the club, despite the United boss saying the Portuguese is still part of his plans.

Even so, the reports of Anthony Martial’s hamstring issue ahead of the Premier League opener with Brighton on Sunday has highlighted the club’s lack of depth up front. United have been mulling over a move for 19-year-old Sesko, who netted ten times last season.

Former Manchester United winger Nani wants to see countryman Cristiano Ronaldo stay at Old Trafford beyond this summer.

Ronaldo trained on Wednesday after Erik ten Hag criticised him and other teammates for leaving Old Trafford before the final whistle in Sunday’s 1-1 friendly draw with Rayo Vallecano.

Donny van de Beek believes summer signings Christian Eriksen and Lisandro Martinez will both be excellent additions to the Manchester United squad this season.

United have been active in the transfer window, with Eriksen and Martinez the two latest additions to Erik Ten Hag’s squad following the acquisition of left-back Tyrell Malacia earlier in the summer.

Ten Hag’s side agreed a three-year contract with midfielder Eriksen following his release from Brentford at the end of last season, while defender Martinez joined on a five-year deal from Ajax.

Gary Neville has given Chelsea a warning regarding their new ownership structure, suggesting that they could be at risk of repeating the mistakes that were made at Manchester United during Ed Woodward’s stint as CEO.

Following the departure of Roman Abramovich, Boehly led a consortium to begin a new era at Stamford Bridge and with seemingly deep pockets, hopes were high for a productive first window under his stewardship.

However, he is yet to appoint a senior figure to recruit players, instead choosing to conduct business himself in a similar fashion to Ed Woodward’s management of United.

Manchester United are days away from kicking off the new season and a number of questions still hang over the club.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s future remains unclear while Erik ten Hag is yet to bring in a much-needed central midfielder. However, the players he has got look to have already improved under his guidance.

They took to the training pitch at Carrington on Wednesday with the focus very much on Sunday’s Premier League opener at home to Brighton. And there were a number of interesting aspects to note.

Anthony Martial is reportedly a doubt for Sunday’s Premier League opener with Brighton due to a hamstring proble.

Sky Sports reports says the problem was suffered during the 1-0 friendly loss to Atletico Madrid on Saturday albeit the problem is only considered minor.

The Telegraph adds that Anthony Elanga is most likely to replace the attacker in the line-up with Cristiano Ronaldo not yet fit enough after just 45 minutes of pre-season action.

Erik ten Hag wants to make more signings this summer in order to complete his dream starting XI.

While the new manager has made a positive start to life at United, it’s clear that further reinforcements in key positions are still required if he has a hope of making the club competitive again in his first season.

Midfield is the position Ten Hag most wants to see improved, with a technical and composed holding-midfielder desired, while further additions in attack are also on his list.

A glimpse into the club’s latest training session at Carrington;

If there is one positive to take from pre-season progress under Erik ten Hag then that is ‘trust.’

United took somewhat of an educated risk with the appointment of Ten Hag back in April – given his sizeable success was limited to Dutch football – and his managerial accolades were often met with the caveat of the stage on which they were achieved.

Time will tell if Ten Hag really is a success at Old Trafford…

Hannibal Mejbri insists he is ‘ready to risk everything’ in order to make his name at Manchester United. The 19-year-old has made three senior appearances since joining the club three years ago and formed part of the pre-season tour squad under new manager Erik ten Hag this summer.

United are looking to sign Benjamin Sesko and are reportedly leading the race for his signature.

Cristiano Ronaldo wants to leave United, but there aren’t many suitors for his signature.

It seems like he might well stay next season, as the club have insisted all summer.

United have agreed to send Alex Telles out on loan with Sevilla set to pay the majority of his wages.

United are looking into a possible deal for Benjamin Sesko and time is of the essence with other interest being shown in him.

No real surprise here.

Chelsea are in talks to sign Frenkie de Jong this summer, and a move to London, where he would be playing Champions League football, is certainly more appealing.

The Metro reiterate this today with a report claiming De Jong would prefer to move to Chelsea over United.

Another day, another name.

United are looking to strengthen their attack and Chelsea forward Hakim Ziyech is now being strongly linked with a move.

This would certainly make sense on a cut-price deal.

he midfielder.

The former striker is gearing up for his first managerial job in Australia as he takes charge of Macarthur FC. Back in May, he managed the A-League all-stars in a friendly against Barcelona, when United’s interest in De Jong was ramping up.

Yorke said he had spoken to the player at the game. Three months after negotiations first started, however De Jong looks no closer to an Old Trafford switch despite the clubs having agreed a deal in principle.
