Man Utd deadline day transfer news, rumours, news and updates Live: Sancho to Chelsea, Lindelof exit and more!

After a sluggish start to the new campaign, Manchester United are eyeing a move for free agent Adrien Rabiot who have been heavily linked with the club throughout the summer. He could bring depth to the United roster as an ideal box-to-box midfielder this summer.

The French midfielder is available on a free transfer after leaving Juventus earlier this summer. With Mason Mount being out injured, Rabiot could address the biggest issue in the Manchester United midfield.

His experience and quality are desperately needed in United’s midfield ranks.

Manchester United are reportedly exploring a move for left-back Juan Cabal who joined Juventus from Hellas Verona in this summer window in a deal worth £10million. The Colombian defender is highly rated across Europe and could be a quality acquisition for the Red Devils.

Man United needs to bring in a long-term replacement for injury-prone Luke Shaw and the opportunity to play for one of the biggest clubs in the Premier League would be an attractive proposition for the Colombian.

The South American has featured in three Serie A games so far and managed to keep clean sheets in all those games.

Despite a disastrous 2023/24 campaign with Manchester United, Erik Ten Hag kept his job over the summer and has signed quite heavily in the summer transfer window. But the pressure is now back on the Dutchman after a poor start to the new campaign and a thumping 3-0 defeat to Liverpool in their last game.

Man United chiefs Omar ­Berrada and Dan ­Ashworth have thrown support behind the Dutchman despite United’s sluggish start to the campaign. Ten Hag’s future has come under question once again after fans were seen booing the Dutch following the defeat to Liverpool.

Berrada said: “In terms of the contract, that was a decision that was taken prior to both of our arrivals. But we’re very happy with that decision. Erik has our full backing and we have worked very closely together, as Dan said before, in this [summer] ­transfer window. We’re going to continue working very closely with him to help him get the best results.”

Manchester United legend Gary Neville believes Erik ten Hag might lose his job if he fails to turn things around at Old Trafford in the next few months. Man United sustained a shameful 3-0 defeat by bitter rivals Liverpool on Sunday evening.

Earlier this summer, the Dutch manager claimed that he was ready to leave Old Trafford if the Man Utd hierarchy believes they have found a suitable replacement for him. Despite having one of the busiest summer windows in the Premier League, Man United showcased a lackluster performance in their third game of the season.

Neville believes Ten Hag will be given time until Christmas to turn things around the club. He said: ‘But Erik ten Hag is going to have to get the club into a position sort of challenging the Champions League towards Christmas, or else he’s going to be in trouble.’ He said.

‘He knows that.’

Belgian side Anderlecht are plotting a late move for Manchester United midfielder Christian Eriksen who lost his place at the club last season as he’s not part of Erik ten Hag’s plans in the ongoing campaign.

Anderlecht chief executive, Jesper Fredberg is a huge admirer of the Danish midfielder and is keen to sign the veteran in the last days of the Belgian transfer window. Eriksen has contributed three goals and 13 assists in 72 matches across all competitions for the Red Devils.

Belgian clubs have until September 6 to register new signings in the summer window.

Manchester United are eyeing up a move for Fulham left-back Antonee Robinson who has been identified as a long-term replacement to English defender Luke Shaw. Shaw has been sidelined with a calf injury and is expected to return after the international break.

United see Robinson as a long-term successor to the injury-prone Luke Shaw in the left-back position. The USMNT defender is contracted with Fulham until the summer of 2028 and has a price tag of around £30m.

The 27-year-old defender had a great start to the new campaign picking up two assists in the first three Premier League games.

Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho has completed his season-long loan move to Chelsea with the club having the obligation to buy the England international for between £20-25m next summer.

Chelsea managed to submit a deal sheet before the 11 pm deadline and had until 1 am to complete Sancho’s transfer. The 24-year-old winger is expected to sign a long-term contract next summer. The former Borussia Dortmund winger ends his three-year disastrous spell with Man Utd.

United were keen to negotiate a permanent move for the England international but his £40 million valuation proved to be a major stumbling block.

Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho has completed his move to rivals Chelsea on a season-long loan in the final hours of the deadline day. Personal terms have been agreed between all parties with Chelsea having the obligation to buy next summer.

The 24-year-old winger has returned to first-team training this season following a public spat with Erik ten Hag last season. However, Sancho was left out of United’s first two games of the Premier League season.

He now joins Chelsea where he might struggle to break into Enzo Maresca’s squad with so many players in his preferred position.

Manchester United have confirmed the signing of PSG midfielder Manuel Ugarte in a €50m deal with €10m in add-ons. The Uruguayan midfielder traveled on Tuesday to complete his medical and has signed a five-year contract with the Red Devils.

The 23-year-old midfielder had been United’s No.1 midfield target throughout the summer window and the club made a formal move for the Uruguayan after they allowed Scott McTominay to join Napoli in a £25m deal.

Unfortunately, the Uruguayan midfielder won’t be able to make his debut against Liverpool on Sunday as United couldn’t get the paperwork completed before the Friday deadline.

Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay has completed his transfer to Napoli after the Italian giants agreed to pay €30 million for the 27-year-old’s services. He has penned a four-year contract with Gli Azzurri with the option of an additional year.

The Scottish international completed his medical on Wednesday after agreeing on personal terms with the Serie A giants. At Napoli, McTominay is expected to play regular football under Antonio Conte.

McTominay has scored 10 goals across all competitions last season. Since making his debut under Jose Mourinho in May 2017, the midfielder has made 255 appearances for United, scoring 29 times.
