Manchester United have been credited with an interest in Brentford left-back Rico Henry.

Football Insider report United made a late move for the defender in the summer transfer window as they looked to add another defender to the squad prior to the window closing.

They report: "However, the Red Devils could not get a deal for the Brentford star over the line and instead signed Tottenham defender Sergio Reguilon.

"Reguilon, 26, joined United on a season-long loan deal on transfer deadline day."

Meanwhile, Galatasaray and Fenerbahce have both been credited with an interest in Man Utd outcast Donny van de Beek - and he could seal a move this week.

The Turkish Super Lig transfer window closes on Friday which means he could exit the club this week. An injury sustained in January cut Van de Beek’s 2022/23 campaign short and the midfielder made just 10 appearances last term, with only four coming as starts.
