Fabrizio Romano sniffs out new Man Utd deal as Everton loanee ‘notices’ Red Devils and Liverpool interest

A Marcus Rashford screamer was enough to secure another European win for Manchester United on Thursday night as the fixtures keep coming thick and fast.

The Red Devils now prepare to welcome Fulham to Old Trafford in an all-Premier League FA Cup quarter-final tie as Erik ten Hag continues his quest for a second piece of silverware this season.

Before the Cottagers visit the North West on Sunday, here are the latest transfer rumours swirling around Manchester United.

Fabrizio Romano gives 'exclusive Manchester United update'

According to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, Erik ten Hag could look to secure a major deal from former club Ajax this summer.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Romano gave viewers an 'exclusive update' on winger Axel Dongen.

The promising 18-year-old Dutchman is out of contract with the club this summer and Romano believed ten Hag is very aware of that fact. He said: "I have an exclusive update for you because there is a talent at Ajax who is really, really interesting. Out of contract in the summer 2023, Van Axel Dongen.

"Man United with Erik ten Hag, who knows the player very well - he was already in the first team sometimes with Erik ten Hag, so he's a big fan of young talents, we know, and Van Axel Dongen is one of them.

"So he's a player to watch because Manchester United are informed on the situation. At the moment, there is no bid, but Man United are keeping an eye on the situation."

Dongen has had a difficult season with the Dutch side after tearing a ligament but a goal and two assists in a 58-minute appearance last time out highlights his promising future.

Everton defender aware of Manchester United defender

Young Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite has said he is aware of interest in his services from big-name clubs.

The 20-year-old is currently on loan at PSV Eindhoven and showing his talent. So much so that PSV boss and United legend Ruud van Nistelrooy told Voetbal International he wants the 'key player' to return next season.

He said: "It's true that we may have competition in our attempts to keep Jarrad longer. Well, let him develop first.

"What is extremely important is that he is having a great time at PSV. That is a basic condition if we want to have a chance at all."

Branthwaite has seen that competition that van Nistelrooy is talking about, with clubs rumoured to be scouting the star including Manchester United and Liverpool.

He told The Mirror: "I think when all of those clubs are interested and watching your games, it's gonna be one of them where you take notice.

"But for me, it's just about playing the games. The first half of the season, I wasn't playing as many as I wanted, but now I'm just fully focused on doing that and performing the best I can."
