Man Utd transfer news: Marcus Rashford makes big-money decision as ‘deal agreed’

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim is looking to revamp his squad after a poor season and a number of players have been linked with moves before the transfer window slams shut

Manchester United have made just one major signing so far this summer as they look to bounce back from their worst ever Premier League campaign. United finished 15th last season and missed out on a spot in the Champions League after losing the Europa League final to Tottenham.

Ruben Amorim is keen to revamp his squad and has already signed Matheus Cunha from Wolves for £62.5million, while teenage prospects Diego Leon and Enzo Kana-Biyik have also made the move to Old Trafford.

Plenty more incomings and outgoings are expected before the transfer window slams shut, with the likes of Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia all likely to leave this summer.

Here, Mirror Football takes a look at all the latest transfer news and rumours from in and around Old Trafford…

Rashford rejects exit

Marcus Rashford has turned down a highly lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia, according to a report from Mundo Deportivo.

The report claims that Rashford is holding out for a move to Barcelona instead, with the Spanish giants interested in signing him on loan with an option to buy worth between £30m and £40m. It comes after Barcelona failed in their attempts to sign Nico Williams.

Barcelona were ready to trigger the forward’s release clause, but Williams ended up signing a new 10-year contract to remain with Athletic Bilbao.

Kean deadline

Manchester United have been linked with a move for Moise Kean and the Fiorentina striker has a release clause in his contract that expires today.

The 25-year-old enjoyed an impressive campaign for Fiorentina last season, netting 25 goals in 44 appearances across all competitions, and he is available for €52m (£45m) due to the clause that must be triggered by July 15.

Kean has previously played in the Premier League with Everton, but struggled to make much of an impact at Goodison Park as he managed just four goals in 39 games for the Toffees.

New deal agreed

According to the Manchester Evening News, young prospect Godwill Kukonki has agreed his first professional contract with the club.

The 17-year-old defender is highly-rated at Old Trafford and was included in the first-team squad on several occasions last season, with Ruben Amorim insisting he is “ready” for Premier League football.

“He impressed me a lot, so it’s also a sign to the youth players that they can be here,” Amorim told MUTV back in December. “If something happened with the first-team squad, they have to step up and I think he’s ready, he’s very adult to handle the demands of the Premier League.”
