Man Utd loan man attracting ‘interest’ amid updates on first-team duo

Manchester United were beaten 2-1 in the FA Cup final at Wembley last time out. The Red Devils were left disappointed after their rivals overcame them in London.

Nevertheless, Erik ten Hag’s side can still take positives from this season and are back in the Champions League. Here is a look at some of the latest transfer news and rumours coming out of the club...

Harry Maguire latest

United are expected to cut ties with defender Harry Maguire and the club have to try and find him a ‘new club’ this summer, as detailed in a report by the Daily Mail. He has fallen out of favour under Ten Hag and is down the pecking order. The former Sheffield United, Hull City and Leicester City man was an unused substitute in the final against City.

Midfielder update

Fred has been linked with a move to fellow Premier League side Fulham following the end of the season. The Brazil international has been on the books at Old Trafford since joining from Shakhtar Donetsk back in 2018 and has since made 218 appearances in all competitions, scoring 14 goals. When asked about his future last Saturday, he said: “I still don’t know, I have to talk with my family, I still have one year left in my contract here.

“Now it’s holiday time and a good opportunity to rest. I will talk to my staff, to the club and see what everyone’s decision is. I do have to talk with Ten Hag as well, he is the manager and the conversation has to involve everyone.

“I want to be important, I want to help the team, so we will see. But I have always been and still am very happy at Manchester United. Of course, I always want to be playing, to be helping my team and gladly, I started and I think we played well.”

Loan striker eyed

Everton are reportedly keen on Burnley striker Wout Weghorst, who spent the second-half of this past campaign on loan at United. The Toffees are ‘interested’ in luring him to Goodison Park after avoiding relegation to the Championship, as per talkSPORT. The former Wolfsburg man scored only twice in 32 outings for the Red Devils.
