Man Utd transfer news LIVE: £50m star undergoes medical as Ten Hag rocked by 'unhappy' ace

Manchester United have made a late move to hijack Ivan Toney’s proposed £40million move to Chelsea.

Toney is expected to be moved on by Brentford before Friday’s deadline, with the Englishman subject to both Saudi Arabian and Premier League interest.

Chelsea said to be considering an offer, with the Blues confident Brentford will agree to sell at a reduced price.

But United’s late interest could cause the 28-year-old to reconsider a move to Stamford Bridge.

Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof is reportedly emerging as a top target for Italian outfit Lazio before the transfer deadline.

Sky Italia report the Swede, 30, is at the ‘top of the Biancocelesti’s list’ of targets.

It’s claimed the Biancocelesti have begun negotiating with the Red Devils for the centre-back, who is surplus to requirements.

Another outlet, Il Messaggero, claim ‘negotiations are underway’ with United to thrash out a deal for Lindelof to leave, although Lazio don’t want to pay a high transfer fee.

Manuel Ugarte is having his Manchester United medical today ahead of finalising his £50million transfer from PSG.

The 23-year-old was spotted arriving at the club’s Carrington training base overnight after flying in from Paris.

He will be put through his paces in the medical room by the club’s doctors and if all goes well, he will become their fifth summer signing.

Ugarte will sign a long-term contract with the Red Devils to bring an end to the protracted transfer deal, with talks lasting for several weeks.

Former Manchester United loanee Sofyan Amrabat could be playing against the Red Devils next season after Everton launched an approach to sign him.

The 28-year-old failed to earn a permanent deal at Old Trafford following his season-long loan from Fiorentina, with United set to buy Manuel Ugarte instead.

Amrabat is keen to secure a move away from Italy and the Morocco international has been in talks over a possible move to Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce.

But the Toffees are hoping to throw a spanner in the works by making a late move to keep him in England, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Manchester United winger Marcus Rashford is ‘unhappy’ at the club and is no longer enjoying his football at Old Trafford, according to club hero Dwight Yorke.

Rashford is yet to score this season and bagged only eight goals across 43 games in all competitions for the Red Devils last season. The 25-year-old has been linked with PSG and Yorke admits he doesn’t appear to be happy with life in Manchester.

Speaking to talkSPORT via The Mirror, Yorke said: “You can bring in the best coaches around him, but he has to have that burning desire to get himself back. We know he has all the talent and all the ability.

“But if he is not prepared to put that effort in and really bring himself back from his poorest season last year, he is not going to get back to that level. He has to want to do it.

“I have defended Marcus many times, but he just seems unhappy. For whatever reason I don’t know, but just does not seem to be enjoying his football like he used to.”

Manchester United appear to have ignored Kobbie Mainoo’s idea of a dream midfield partner with the £51million signing of Manuel Ugarte.

The Uruguayan jetted to England on Tuesday in order to complete a move from Paris Saint-Germain.

But Mainoo, 19, admitted he was keen to play with Paul Scholes in his career – which suggests he might have appreciated another ball-playing midfielder along side him in the double pivot.

“I’d say Paul Scholes,” Mainoo said as he replied to the question during a fan Q&A on the club website. “Although there might not be a lot (of) defending between the two of us. But, yeah, Scholes. Scholes – definitely.

“(Because of) everything. His passing, his movement, the way he could finish. His intelligence. Yes, he was a great player.”

Manchester United are planning a double masterstroke with the proposed swap deal involving Jadon Sancho and Raheem Sterling.

INEOS are taking a hardline approach to offloading Sancho, 24, who has been linked with Juventus and PSG.

The Red Devils are keen to get Jadon Sancho’s entire salary off their wage bill and sporting director Dan Ashworth has reportedly told Chelsea they will only consider a swap deal on their terms, according to Sky Sports.

Sancho could be heading to Stamford Bridge, with Blues outcast Raheem Sterling heading in the opposite direction in a ‘separate’ deal.

But with Sterling earning £325,000 a week, the Red Devils will wait for the 29-year-old to agree a pay-off with his club before making their offer.

Manchester United may face competition if they are to launch a late move for Ivan Toney after Chelsea attempted to hijack his £50million switch to Saudi Arabia.

The 28-year-old is set to leave Brentford in the coming days and agreed personal terms with Saudi Pro League outfit Al-Ahli.

But Chelsea’s interest could scupper the deal, according to The Telegraph with Toney favouring a chance to stay in the Premier League – although it remains to be seen if they can match his salary.

United will be keeping a close eye on the situation after being linked with a new striker amid fitness doubts concerning Rasmus Hojlund.
