Man Utd transfer news: Three transfers to be completed as summer window gets moving

Manchester United are closing in on the signing of Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo, while both Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho are nearing moves away from Old Trafford

Manchester United kicked off their pre-season with a 0-0 draw against Leeds in Sweden on Saturday. New signings Matheus Cunha and Diego Leon made their first appearances for the club during the game and more new faces are expected before the transfer window slams shut.

Plenty of outgoings are also expected, with Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Antony, Alejandro Garnacho and Tyrell Malacia placed in the ‘bomb squad’ after manager Ruben Amorim decided they have no future at the club.

Christian Eriksen and Victor Lindelof have already departed after their contracts expired, while veteran defender Jonny Evans has retired and taken up a new role as United’s head of loans and pathways.

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

Rashford closes in on move

Marcus Rashford is close to getting his dream move to Barcelona, with Spanish giants finalising a deal with Manchester United.

Rashford spent the second half of last season on loan at Aston Villa after being frozen out by Ruben Amorim and the forward is now set to join Barcelona on loan with an option to buy after Hansi Flick approved a deal.

Rashford has made no secret of his desire to join Barcelona, stating last month: “Spain is nice, it’s not too far from home. If I’m training over a long period, my family can come for a few days, it’s a nice location and good weather.”

Sancho agreement

According to Italian outlet Sportmediaset, Juventus have reached a ‘full agreement’ with Jadon Sancho over personal terms as they hope to sign the winger.

The report states that Juventus are also close to agreeing a deal with Manchester United, with the transfer expected to be finalised next week. It is claimed that Juventus are set to meet United’s €25million (£21.6m) asking price.

Sancho spent last season on loan at Chelsea, but the Blues decided to pay a £5m penalty fee to avoid signing him permanently.

£71m Mbeumo move

Bryan Mbeumo is set to join Manchester United in time for their pre-season trip to the US after an agreement was finally reached with Brentford.

United fly out to Chicago on Tuesday and Mbeumo is expected to join them after a fee was agreed of £65m plus £6m in add-ons. Ruben Amorim also wants United to sign a new creative midfielder and a proven goalscorer this summer.
