Man Utd ‘learn’ £43m price tag as midfield ‘target’ makes transfer admission

Manchester United’s season remains on hold as the World Cup moves into the quarter-final stage in Qatar.

The Red Devils have endured a mixed campaign so far, ultimately heading into the break looking up at the top four, and Erik ten Hag will know improvements are needed if he is to achieve a top four finish in his first season in charge. Those improvements may well need to come from the January transfer window, and United will already be assessing potential targets, be it at the World Cup or otherwise.

With that in mind, we have rounded up all the latest transfer news and rumours surrounding Old Trafford.

Abraham price tag

United now know how much they may have to pay to land reported target Tammy Abraham.

The Red Devils are in need of a striker heading into the winter window following the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, and they may be reluctant to splash out a huge fee to land a replacement. Abraham, who has been impressing with Roma, could be sold, according to Tuttomercatoweb, but Roma are not going to part ways with their England international for less than £43million.

Meanwhile, Arsenal are also said to be interested having lost £50million signing Gabriel Jesus to injury,

Rabiot admission

Reported United summer target Adrien Rabiot has revealed his desire to play in the Premier League ahead of the winter window - and indeed France’s World Cup quarter-final with England on Saturday.

“I have always said that I would like to play in England in my career,” the midfielder said. “Will it be at the end of my contract? I don’t know, but I have this goal.

“I don’t have a favourite team, there isn’t really a club where I would necessarily like to play. It is above all [that] its level attracts me. I also think that the way of playing corresponds more to my qualities.’
