Man Utd propose swap deal with Premier League rivals, manager breaks silence over potential Old Trafford move

Manchester United have not been shy on the transfer market this summer, having splashed out on important new signings where the squad needs reinforcements. The Reds have spent upwards of £170 million on André Onana, Mason Mount, and Rasmus Højlund, while also bringing in Jonny Evans on a free deal.

But there’s still time left before the window slams shut and it doesn’t seem like United are quite done with their summer spree yet either. Here’s the latest roundup for Erik ten Hag’s side as we enter the final days of transfer chaos.

United make contact over swap deal

According to Football Insider, United have made contact with Premier League rivals Wolves over a potential swap deal involving Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Nelson Semedo. Ten Hag is on the market for for a new attacking right-back as he reportedly wants to replace Wan-Bissaka with a player more effective at getting forward.

United have made contact over signing Semedo but as Wolves are concerned over the tight deadline to bring in a replacement, a player swap deal has been suggested. Wan-Bissaka’s current contract runs out next summer, so if the club is adamant on shipping him out, they need to act pretty quick. Despite starting both of United’s games so far this season, his exit could be finalised before September 1st

Manager airs concerns over United interest

United have been interested in signing Jean-Clair Todibo from Nice this summer and scouts were recently at the Allianz Riviera to keep tabs on him and Khéphren Thuram, according to Get French Football News.

However, Todibo’s potential move would rely on Harry Maguire leaving Old Trafford, and Nice’s manager Francesco Farioli addressed the ongoing transfer saga and the future of his player.

“These rumours have existed since the start, so we’ve developed antibodies against them — be it the team or myself. There are a few days left — we’ll see. There is a chance that he stays, and I would be happy because he’s a quality player and he would be very hard to replace. I hope the rumours stay rumours.”
