Man Utd could lose £12.8m-rated ace as club prepare transfer 'list' for the summer

Manchester United managed to get past Sheffield United in their last Premier League outfit. They beat the Blades 4-2 at Old Trafford to pick up another three points.

Bruno Fernandes scored twice against Chris Wilder’s men, whilst Harry Maguire and Rasmus Hojlund also got themselves on the scoresheet. Next up for the Red Devils is a clash against Burnley this weekend but in the meantime, here is a look at some of the latest news and rumours regarding the club...

Defender wanted

United defender Victor Lindelof is being linked with a switch to Galatasaray and according to a report by Turkish news outlet Aspor, the Istanbul giants are keen on a move for him and have added him to their ‘list’ of targets ahead of the summer. His contract expires in 2025 meaning he still has over a year left on his current deal.

Lindelof, who is 29-years-old, moved to England back in 2017 from Benfica and has since made 258 appearances in all competitions to date, chipping in with four goals. He has played 28 matches this term under Erik ten Hag and is rated at £12.8million on Transfermarkt.

Wing-back latest

Journalist Fabrizio Romano has cooled United’s links to former Manchester City wing-back Jeremie Frimpong. The 23-year-old has helped Bayer Leverkusen win the Bundesliga title this season under Xabi Alonso.

He moved over to Germany back in 2021 after spending two years at Celtic. Romano has written in his CaughtOffside column: “Man United have been scouting Frimpong for long time; he was already on the list before the World Cup in 2022. But Man United have not decided yet how much they want to invest on each position, this will be part of strategy in May and not now.

“Frimpong has a release clause, as already mentioned, so let’s see if United or any other club will decide to trigger it, but this will come later, as I understand nothing is happening now.”
