🚨🆕EXCL: The £85m price tag for Mateus Fernandes was set by #WHUFC before their relegation, as previously confirmed by @JacobsBen.
However, internally, West Ham’s valuation was always closer to around €80m (£69m).
Their stance changed significantly after relegation, with the club now needing to raise up to €100m in player sales.
They would have preferred to keep Fernandes, but the financial reality after dropping down a division has forced a rethink.
#MUFC’s £63m deal is now imminent, as previously reported.
🎥 Èderson has arrived in the USA to join the Brazilian national team for the World Cup.
He was welcomed by the Brazil staff and is now officially part of the squad. 🇧🇷

🚨 Wayne Rooney on Patrick Dorgu and his comparison to Gareth Bale:
“I see a huge headache for Michael Carrick trying to determine whether to move him (Dorgu) upfront permanently or not. His goalscoring prowess is so efficient and needs to be harnessed for Manchester United next season.
Yeah Bale had a similar career path but let's understand they're different from each other. So much need to see more of this next season.”
🚨🎙️ Thierry Henry on Éderson being called up to Brazil’s World Cup squad:
🗣️ “What surprises me is that both Éderson and João Pedro had very good seasons, yet it was Éderson who got the call when Brazil needed a replacement.
Now, before people misunderstand me, I’m not saying Éderson was called up simply because he joined Manchester United. His performances absolutely played the biggest role.
But joining Manchester United puts a spotlight on you that very few clubs in world football can match.
The moment you sign for Manchester United, people watch you differently. Every game is analysed, every performance gets attention, and suddenly more eyes are on you.
Éderson earned this opportunity with his football, but I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the call came just weeks after he joined one of the biggest clubs in the world.
That’s the power of Manchester United. The club still carries a global influence that very few teams can match.” 👀🔴
