Transfer Rumors Heat UpReports suggest that United is preparing a bid amid news of a £20 million price drop, as Erik ten Hag emphasizes the need for a “proven” signing.

Young midfielder Kobbie Mainoo has emerged as a breakout star, continuing his impressive form into his England duties. After a brief appearance against Brazil, he made his senior debut on Tuesday night, delivering a stellar performance against Belgium.

Ten Hag is hopeful that the 18-year-old will thrive in United’s midfield starting this weekend against Brentford, although the team must navigate the latest challenge of Harry Maguire’s injury.

Interest in Ivan ToneyManchester United’s interest in Brentford attacker Ivan Toney is generating significant attention. According to HITC, the club is reportedly “checking in” on Toney, who scored his first goal for England during Tuesday night’s 2-2 draw with Belgium, equalizing with a penalty in the first half.

As United looks to strengthen their attacking options, particularly alongside Rasmus Hojlund, they are reportedly making efforts to secure a second striker ahead of the upcoming season. Speculation suggests that Toney may be on his way to M16.

Uncertainty Surrounding Ten Hag

In addition, following the surprising news this week that Wolves manager Gary O’Neil is being considered for a role at United, Ten Hag’s future remains uncertain. Meanwhile, Jarrad Branthwaite, the standout player at Everton, is among several players linked to United ahead of the summer transfer window.
