π¨ EXCLUSIVE: Manchester United closing in on deal to sign Carlos Baleba from Brighton & Hove Albion. #MUFC offer for 22yo Cameroon midfielder ~Β£60+5m; below #BHAFC valuation but amicable talks continue as all parties work to reach agreement @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/WmP1bD2JuT
I donβt understand why/ how weβve allowed the club to be ran like this. Itβs so sad βΉοΈbut youβll get a vocal group saying everything is okay
π¨Net spend of Premier League clubs this summer transfer window
Chelsea: Β£217m
Tottenham: Β£154m
Manchester City: Β£121m
Liverpool: Β£89m

π¨ EXCL: Manchester United reach agreement with Chelsea to sign Andrey Santos. Deal for 22yo #CFC midfielder worth Β£48m + Β£2m easily achievable add-ons & 10% sell-on clause. Permission given to undergo #MUFC medical; personal terms in place @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/TY4qfwhHT4
π¨ Manchester United exploring deal to sign Andrey Santos from Chelsea. No club talks yet - enquiries by multiple suitors to 22yoβs agents. #MUFC keen but will depend on price. #CFC would not block move if suits all parties @TheAthleticFC after @Will_Unwin https://t.co/Tu9nemUkcG
@ManUtd dunno if you know but I wouldnβt hurt if you actually brought some players. The club is just an embarrassment, players picking spurs over us π₯±
π¨ EXCLUSIVE: Tottenham Hotspur win race to sign Mateus Fernandes from West Ham United. Spurs submitted highest proposal (believed to be ~Β£85m guaranteed) & 21yo #WHUFC midfielder opted to join #THFC. Numbers beyond where #MUFC willing to go @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/8JMyfl8LoS
π¨ Manchester City verbal proposal to Nottingham Forest for Elliot Anderson was worth Β£106m + add-ons, taking it above Β£120m. #NFFC want British record fee guaranteed, not after bonuses. No fresh talks with #MCFC over 23yo England midfielder @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/DdanEQcqnz
π¨π¨π| NEW: Manchester United, Tottenham, Chelsea and Aston Villa are all admirers of Morgan Gibbs-White, but each already has players in his preferred position.
More develop as the window progresses; however, Forest want him to stay for at least one more year. [@SimonJones_DM]
Sept 1st Utd put out there, Anderson is our number 1 priority & now the price is too high. Did they think he was gunna cost the same amount as a fucking pack of skips. This board & owners are crooks. UTD will never be successful while being own by penny pinching leeches. #MUFC
π¨ Manchester City see opening bid for Elliot Anderson rejected by Nottingham Forest. Pursuit ongoing. Forest expected to want more for Anderson than Β£105m Arsenal paid for Declan Rice.
Fees viewed as too high for #MUFC.

Set to pave way for talks on new contract β¬οΈ #MUFC

Manchester United add Aurelien Tchouameni to their shortlist, but Real are not ruling out extending his contract.
Player is content to stay yet keen to understand how a midfield revamp at Real might affect him. Valued at Β£70m+ by Real.βͺοΈ

π¨π¨ποΈ| Bruno Fernandes on Lisandro Martinez's red card:
βI donβt want to talk about it because the rules are different for everyone, applied different for everyone. The difference in the yellow cards, you can also see it. It's better that I don't say anything.β
The two things we take from tonightβs loss is -
Carrick CANNOT get the job
We need 7-8 new players if we make it into the champions league (which isnβt even guaranteed) we will be exposed VERY quickly
