🚨 Rio Ferdinand on Bryan Mbeumo’s goal against PSG:
“I’m sorry, but this guy is a goal magnet. Bryan doesn’t need to dribble past 3 players or do something spectacular to become a threatt. Somehow he just keeps finding himself where goals happen.
Before United, I asked Thomas (Frank) something about Bryan. He told me,.
‘Bryan’s biggest strength is his offensive awareness. He knows where the danger is going to be. Sometimes he only needs to arrive in the right place once.’
I remembered that against PSG. Safonov had been stopping everything Bryan threw at him.
Then Amad gets the ball, Bryan finds that little pocket, one touch, finish. Goal.
That’s what Thomas meant. You can keep Mbeumo quiet. The problem is you have to do it for 90 mins.”
🚨🇪🇸 Marc Casadó, set to leave Barça but still assessing options — nothing agreed or even advanced/close with Al Hilal.
Roony Bardghji to leave on loan; or if permanent, with buy back clause for future control.

Manchester United’s transfer targets this summer:
Elliot Anderson (Nottingham Forest → Man City, £116M) – United refused to match the fee or enter a bidding war.
Mateus Fernandes (West Ham → Tottenham, £85M) – United were unwilling to match Tottenham’s overall package, including the fixed fee and wages.
Sandro Tonali (Newcastle → Tottenham, £100M) – The price was considered too high and United never seriously pushed to get the deal done.
Aurélien Tchouaméni (Real Madrid) – Madrid had no intention of selling, while the fee and wages would have been significant. He has since signed a new contract.
Lewis Hall (Newcastle) – United showed interest and the player was reportedly open to the move, but Newcastle refused to sell and valued him at around £60M.
Manu Koné (Roma) – Roma wanted around £51M, while there was also internal disagreement at United over the move, with Jason Wilcox reportedly not fully convinced.
Bruno Guimarães (Newcastle → Arsenal, ~£75M) – United had concerns over committing such a large fee to a player aged 28 and approaching 29.
Alex Scott (Bournemouth) – Bournemouth’s valuation of around £80M proved too high, with United eventually backing away.
Carlos Baleba (Brighton) – Brighton wanted around £75M–£100M, significantly more than United were prepared to pay.
