🚨 | Luke Shaw will have to take a pay cut if he is to sign a new #mufc contract.
He currently earns £200,000-a-week and United are not expected to offer the same salary.

🚨 Talks are ongoing with Leeds goalkeeper Karl Darlow as Man United look to bring in a new backup this summer. Sam Johnstone is also on the list. [@JacobsBen, @UnitedStandMUFC] #mufc
🚨 | There are two Saudi Pro League clubs - Al Qadsiah and newly-promoted Al-Diraiyah - who have made approaches for Marcus Rashford, but at this stage it's unclear if he's remotely open to a move there.
Al-Hilal also need to strengthen out wide and a move for a big name foreign player is expected.

🚨 Despite Patrick Dorgu playing further forward, a left sided attacker is being discussed. Should Marcus Rashford leave, then a left winger could be signed. United want a left back and left winger, but it depends on if they're financially able to strengthen both areas in one summer. [@JacobsBen, @UnitedStandMUFC] #mufc
🚨 If Man United could, in theory, only get one of a left winger or left back, they'll prioritise a left wing signing. [@JacobsBen, @UnitedStandMUFC] #mufc
🗣️ @JacobsBen on the possibility of Marcus Rashford staying: "The plan is for him to leave - that's probably the most accurate way of phrasing it. Wage, age, those are the two main things - £300,000 a week and 28 years of age, so if Man United are to invest and sign someone for the long term future on the left wing area, they'll need to get those wages off the books." [@UnitedStandMUFC]
🚨 Barcelona sources feel that Marcus Rashford's £30 million buy option expiring doesn't matter much, and that if, late on in the window, they make a move of a similar amount, Man United will still agree to that. [@JacobsBen, @UnitedStandMUFC] #mufc
🗣️ @JacobsBen: "Absolutely, Mateus Fernandes leading target [for Man Utd] at the moment."
"If they don't get him, I still think there's legs to the Carlos Baleba situation and keep an eye on Sander Berge, who's another player that Manchester United have discussed in recent weeks" [@UnitedStandMUFC] #mufc
🚨 If Man United don't sign their leading target, Mateus Fernandes, then there's still some legs to the Carlos Baleba situation. Sander Berge is also one to keep an eye on, as he's been discussed in recent weeks. [@JacobsBen, @UnitedStandMUFC] #mufc
🚨 | Crysencio Summerville is definitely on the lift of left-sided attackers.
Despite their strong rivalry with West Ham, Spurs can't be discounted as well.
He's expected to be available for around £40-50 million - West Ham's valuation hasn't changed despite their relegation.

🚨 Iliman Ndiaye, if he doesn't sign a new deal at Everton, and Matias Fernandez Pardo are expected to be left wing options for Man United [@JacobsBen, @UnitedStandMUFC] #mufc
🚨 As Bournemouth buy time to figure out whether Alex Scott will sign a new deal or not, their stance at the moment is "£80 million or no engagement". [@JacobsBen, @UnitedStandMUFC] #mufc

🚨🎙️ | Michael Carrick:
"Winning, EXCITING football is what comes to mind.
"There are all sorts of different ways to get there, but a version of winning and exciting football.
There's a responsibility to try and produce BOTH." [@UWSmag]
🚨 #mufc are only likely to sign one player for the LB/LW roles, with Dorgu able to cover the whole flank.
If a new LB arrives to compete with Shaw, Dorgu keeps getting minutes higher up the pitch.
Several LWs monitored, and Lewis Hall remains on the LB list. [@TyMarshall_MEN]
🗣️ Carrick on his relationship with Sir Jim Ratcliffe:
"Nothing crazy formal. It’s just chatting. He's picking my brains on a few things. General conversations about the players, the club or feelings. It’s not maybe how you think it would be. He’s been good with me, to be honest and left me to do a lot of the work and trusting me."
