Sunderland Transfer Update On Amad Diallo Return Chances

Sunderland may lose out in their battle to bring in a key target to strengthen their offensive options late in the window, according to recent reports.

What's the latest news involving Sunderland?

The Black Cats have enjoyed a busy transfer window that has seen plenty of incomings arrive through the door at the Stadium Of Light, including Jenson Seelt, Jobe Bellingham, Elizier Mayenda, Nectarios Triantis, Bradley Dack, Nathan Bishop and Luis Semedo, as per Transfermarkt, but a recognised goalscorer is still on the agenda.

Last weekend, Sunderland managed to gain their first victory this campaign in the Sky Bet Championship, defeating Rotherham United 2-1 at home to avenge the disappointment of losing out in their first two league fixtures to Preston North End and Ipswich Town, as per Sky Sports.

Tony Mowbray has made it clear recently that bringing in a striker is a key priority for the Black Cats between now and the close of play in the market and has spoken in a recent interview about what he is looking for from any prospective recruits in the forward areas, stating via The Chronicle: "We're trying to control the game on most occasions, and then it's about seeing whether teams are going to press or sit off in a block."

He then added: "That's why ultimately you need some mobility at the top end because if people are sitting in a mid-block and your centre-half doesn't think they can get through the lines, sometimes you have to go over the top with some speed and some threat.

"At the moment that's what's missing from this team, because that's not really Hemir or Dack's game. Jobe has that powerful running action that can pressure people, of course, but it's not necessarily speed."

Losing attacking talent will be a big concern for the former Celtic manager and there has been no shortage of interest in star man Jack Clarke this summer, who has been subject to several rejected bids from Premier League outfit Burnley, with their last rebuffed proposal said to be in the region of £13 million, according to The Sunderland Echo.

Patrick Roberts is also a target for both Southampton and Scottish champions Celtic and is believed to have 'growing interest' from both side's in his services, journalist Alan Nixon has revealed on his Patreon.

Is there interest in Amad Diallo?

According to a separate report from The Sunderland Echo, the Black Cats have 'been keeping an eye' on the situation of former loanee Amad Diallo, but club chiefs believe that Manchester United would prefer to see the Ivory Coast international join a Premier League club instead and they will miss out as a result.

Erik Ten Hag is yet to determine Diallo's future and the £28k-a-week ace has attracted interest from Leeds United, Leicester City and Southampton, alongside Sunderland.

Former Sunderland loanee Amad Diallo.

Dubbed "incredible" by ex-teammate Luke O'Nien, Diallo spent last campaign on loan on Wearside and ended up being a major hit at the Stadium of Light, notching 14 goals and four assists in 42 appearances across all competitions, as per Transfermarkt.

Diallo also ranks highly in regard to his positional peers across Europe's next eight divisions below the top five leagues on the continent for pass completion, with an 84.7% pass success rate per 90 minutes in the last 365 days, putting the 21-year-old in the 98th percentile for this metric, as per FBRef.

Realistically, it is difficult to see an avenue for Diallo to return if Manchester United do want him to try his hand at the Premier League; nevertheless, Sunderland still look to be at least contemplating an ambitious swoop for the Red Devils' winger.

Joseph, Paul fire Guyana to eight-wicket win

Guyana’s pace duo Keon Joseph and Keemo Paul took a combined 16 wickets to haul Guyana to their fourth win in five matches

ESPNcricinfo staff04-Dec-2017Pacers Keon Joseph and Keemo Paul took a combined 16 wickets in the match as Guyana secured an eight-wicket victory over Barbados at home.Paul took his second first-class five-wicket haul, while Joseph took three wickets as Barbados posted 294 after electing to bat. They then returned to take four wickets each in Barbados’ second innings before half-centuries from Tagenarine Chanderpaul and Leon Johnson helped them run down a 178-run target with eight wickets to spare.Having lost the toss, Guyana won the early exchanges, with Joseph snaring three wickets in a new-ball burst that reduced Barbados to 32 for 3. A 78-run fourth-wicket stand between Kevin Stoute followed, which ended with a run out of Moseley. Stoute fell for 47 to left-arm spinner Gudakesh Motie as Barbados lost half their side for 123. Then came the substantial partnership of the match, between Kenroy Williams (68) and Justin Greaves, who top-scored with 72. The duo’s sixth-wicket stand of 121 hauled Barbados close to the 250 mark before Paul wiped out the lower order as Barbados lost five wickets for 50 runs to be bowled out for 294.Tagenarine (52) and Chandrapaul Hemraj (79) kickstarted Guyana’s replay with half-centuries and a 115-run first-wicket partnership. Barbados chipped away at the wickets thereafter, but Gudakesh Motie’s unbeaten 72 steered them to 314 all out. Ashley Nurse and Jomel Warrican took three wickets each.Joseph and Paul quickly reduced Barbados to 109 for 7 in the second innings. Jonathan Carter prolonged the innings with 53 and a ninth-wicket stand of 86 with Mario Rampersaud, before Barbados folded for 197.Chanderpaul and Johnson, the Guyana captain, took their team close to the target with a second-wicket partnership of 117 after Hemraj’s dismissal for 21. Johnson was bowled by Harding for 61 with Guyana 25 away from the target, but Tagenarine (62*) and Vishaul Singh (22*) sealed Guyana their fourth win in five matches.

Arsenal: Arteta Could Sign Own Erling Haaland In "Sensational" £100m Target

Arsenal could already be looking ahead to next summer, despite the 2023/24 calendar only just commencing for Mikel Arteta’s squad.

The Gunners have spent sufficiently in the transfer window, using over £200m to acquire the likes of Kai Havertz, Jurrien Timber, David Raya and Declan Rice, however, reports have suggested that the north Londoners could already be preparing to spend big again in the near future.

An early defensive blow to Timber has left Arteta and Edu poised to delve back into the market to equip another defender, although other positions could be addressed at a later date.

Who could Arsenal sign?

While defenders such as Marc Guehi, Edmond Tapsoba and Joao Cancelo have been rumoured as being potential targets at the Emirates by the Express, new reports have shed light on the Gunners’ plans to identify a striker.

Read the latest Arsenal transfer news HERE…

As reported by FootballTransfers, Arsenal are speculated to be plotting an audacious swoop in 2024 for young Brighton & Hove Albion striker Evan Ferguson.

The Irish wonderkid, who is valued at a whopping £100m by the Seagulls, could be at the top of Arteta’s list next year, with the site’s sources claiming that he is on the club’s radar.

The report adds that despite Manchester United eyeing the forward, it’s Arsenal that are ‘most likely’ to make a swoop for his talent next summer.

What could Evan Ferguson offer to Arsenal?

Since the ugly departure of marksman Robin van Persie back in 2012, it’s questionable as to whether the Gunners have ever sufficiently replaced the Dutchman’s prowess in front of goal.

In terms of out-and-out strikers, the Emirates has been deprived, with the closest claim to being a prolific goalscorer being Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang, who netted 92 goals in 163 appearances in red and white.

When you revise the strike options of all top teams in Europe, a reliable leader of the line is evident, making it glaringly obvious that hiring a competent finisher could bridge the gap between Arsenal and the continent's elite.

Brighton striker Evan Ferguson.

Gabriel Jesus was acquired from Manchester City last summer, and despite the energy and skill that he brings to Arteta’s squad, the fact remains that the Brazilian has never scored over 15 Premier League goals in a season.

By selling Jesus, City made way for Erling Haaland, whose scoring nature needs little introduction, as he fired his club to the treble by scoring 52 goals in the 2022/23 campaign.

While finding another Haaland is not an option, Arsenal could instead unearth another Haaland by signing Ferguson, who at just 18 years of age has been likened to the Norwegian in terms of statistical profile by FBref.

In only 10 Premier League starts last season at Brighton, the Irishman scored six goals, showing no fear in the final third and being dubbed as “sensational” by U23 scout Antonio Mango.

While his tally is far from being comparable to City’s goliath, his ability to get into the right positions and score suggests he does possess the innate attributes of a goalscorer, as highlighted by his average of 0.57 non-penalty goals per 90 in the Premier League last season.

The signs are there for Ferguson to have the skills in his locker to become a top striker, and with him only being 18, his progression and future will certainly be something to watch for years to come.

Nehra and Kirsten join RCB coaching staff

The franchise has appointed new bowling and batting coaches, who will work under head coach Daniel Vettori

ESPNcricinfo staff02-Jan-2018Former India seamer Ashish Nehra, who retired from all forms of cricket in November, has been appointed bowling coach of Royal Challengers Bangalore. The franchise has also brought in former South Africa batsman Gary Kirsten as batting coach ahead of IPL 2018.It was only two months ago that Nehra ended an 18-year career, in which he played 132 T20s to pick up 162 wickets at an economy-rate of 7.7. He is often highly regarded as a mentor by several of India’s young seam bowlers, including the current leaders of the limited-overs attack Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah. This will be Nehra’s first stint as a coach in any format.Kirsten, however, has proven credentials, taking India to the top of the Test rankings in 2009 and winning the World Cup with them in 2011. He then returned home to South Africa and made them No. 1 in the longest format in 2012. Kirsten has had trouble translating that success into T20 cricket. He was removed as Delhi Daredevils coach in 2015 even though his original contract stated he would have the job for one more year. Kirsten will arrive in India after a stint at the helm of the Big Bash League franchise, the Hobart Hurricanes.Royal Challengers will once again have Daniel Vettori as their head coach. They are one of three franchises which were there at the beginning in 2008 but are yet to win the title. “I am excited to welcome Gary and Ashish to the coaching team for Royal Challengers Bangalore. Both of them bring a wealth of experience in cricket, which the team can learn from immensely. We look forward to an amazing season,” Vettori said.Among the the new coaching staff’s first responsibilities is re-forming the RCB squad when the auction takes place on January 27 and 28.

Daredevils part ways with Upton, Sekar

Technical director Zubin Bharucha also exits, but franchise retain services of assistant coaches S Sriram and Pravin Amre

Arun Venugopal16-Nov-2017Delhi Daredevils are set to appoint a new coaching staff after parting ways with head coach Paddy Upton and technical director Zubin Bharucha. TA Sekar, their director, has also resigned citing personal reasons, but assistant coaches S Sriram and Pravin Amre will remain with the franchise.Earlier this year, Daredevils lost the services of Rahul Dravid as chief mentor, after he opted to remain as coach of the India A and India Under-19 sides. As per the new conflict of interest regulations, Dravid couldn’t be associated with an IPL franchise while working with the national side.Daredevils CEO Hemant Dua said that the decision to not extend Upton and Bharucha’s contracts was mutual. “It was a two-year contract, and when the tenure ended both the parties chose to not extend the contract,” he told ESPNcricinfo. “They wanted to do their own thing after Rahul’s decision [to move on]. They have been a team all this while, so we respect their decision.”Dua confirmed that the franchise has initiated the process of identifying a new head coach and that there would be a restructuring of the coaching staff. “We are in the process and working on it and waiting for some things to settle down,” he said. “We will see what is needed, but I think we will restructure a little bit and then we will present it in a new way. We will announce [the new head coach] in probably the next few weeks.”Sekar’s exit is notable, considering that except for a brief stint with Mumbai Indians, he was a part of the Daredevils unit since the inaugural IPL in 2008. “We are naturally very disappointed to not have Sekar in our midst going forward, but as a franchise we clearly understand his position,” Dua said. “Sekar was an invaluable asset, and his departure leaves a vacuum that will be difficult to fill.”Dua also said that the question of installing a director would be addressed after the appointment of the new head coach.Sekar expressed gratitude to the Daredevils management. “It has been a very difficult decision for me to make, but it was for purely personal reasons,” he was quoted as saying in a statement. “I’m grateful for the support and understanding from the franchise.”Daredevils are yet to win an IPL title and haven’t qualified for the knockouts since 2012. Most recently under Dravid and Upton, they finished sixth in 2016 and 2017.

Arsenal: Gunners Eyeing Move For "Incredible" Champions League Finalist

Arsenal are eyeing up a move for Inter Milan midfielder Nicolo Barella this summer, as Mikel Arteta looks to close the summer transfer window in style, with an update emerging in the last 48 hours.

The Gunners have already welcomed three reinforcements this summer, with Declan Rice, Jurrien Timber, and Kai Havertz all making the move to The Emirates.

What's the latest on Nicolo Barella to Arsenal?

The Gunners opened their Premier League campaign with a 2-1 victory over Nottingham Forest. The game looked set to end in a comfortable victory for Arteta's side, courtesy of goals from Eddie Nketiah and a stunner from Bukayo Saka, but Taiwo Awoniyi's late strike forced the Gunners into a nervy ending, before they secured all three points.

Off the pitch, there could be further additions before the deadline. The North London club are thought to be eyeing a move for Barella this summer after receiving indications that the Italian would be open to a move, according to Football Transfers.

The midfielder also attracted interest from Newcastle United earlier in the summer, but the Magpies were reportedly put off the move by the €70m (£60m) price-tag set by Inter Milan for Barella, who earns a reported £154k a week at the San Siro.

Read the latest Arsenal transfer news HERE…

With that said, it remains to be seen whether Arsenal will be willing to match the Serie A side's valuation in the coming weeks, especially given the fact that the Gunners have already spent a reported €232m (£200m) so far this summer.

The plan at The Emirates could change with the exit of Thomas Partey, of course, but for now the defensive midfielder looks set to stay put in the Premier League. As the end of the transfer window approaches, Barella will certainly be an interesting player to keep an eye on.

How good is Nicolo Barella?

Arteta doesn't necessarily need Barella at Arsenal, with plenty of options to pick from in midfield. But, there is no such thing as too much quality, especially when up against the likes of Manchester City in the Premier League, and Barella offers that added star power.

As Partey enters his 30s, too, partnering 25-year-old Barella with 23-year-old Rice could be an act of genius by Arteta. Statsistically speaking, too, the Inter Milan man stands out. When compared to Partey and Rice last season, as per FBref, Barella made more progressive carries, more progressive passes than Rice, and just one less than Partey, and enjoyed more successful take-ons per 90 than the current duo at The Emirates.

A combative option, last season's Champions League finalist would offer Arsenal something different in the middle of the park in a crucial trait with the fixtures coming thick and fast.

Given his talent, Barella has unsurprisingly earned plenty of praise in the past, with journalist DaveOCKOP previously taking to Twitter to say:

"If Newcastle are close to signing Barella for £50m Liverpool need to enter that race. He's an incredible player."

Everything about the midfielder seems to be pointing in a positive direction. Now, it's up to Arsenal whether they want to push ahead with a deal this summer.

Wolves: Fosun Could Now Appoint "Fantastic" ex-PL Boss To Replace Lopetegui

It’s not been the summer that Wolverhampton Wanderers would’ve planned, with woes regarding Financial Fair Play (FFP) consuming all areas of the club.

After joining the Old Gold back in November, Julen Lopetegui worked wonders in his first season, taking over from Bruno Lage when Wolves were bottom of the table, and firing them to a 13th-place finish.

Following the tests and turnaround of the 2022/23 campaign, the Spaniard has been rumoured to be moving towards the exit door, as the Midlands side’s financial problems become more and more of a hindrance on progression.

Who could replace Lopetegui at Wolves?

As reported by talkSPORT this week, Fosun could seek help in the form of former AFC Bournemouth manager Gary O’Neil, should Lopetegui decide to part ways.

The report claims that the Old Gold owners ‘will consider’ approaching the former Premier League boss in the instance of the Spaniard’s exit.

It would be a fast return for the Englishman, who was let go by the Cherries after keeping them safely in the top-flight at the end of last season.

Should Wolves hire Gary O’Neil?

Praised by Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodsgon for his “fantastic” efforts in keeping Bournemouth up in what was an “enormous job”, O’Neil could be the perfect candidate to take the reins from Lopetegui.

Thrown into action just after the commencement of the 2022/23 season, the 40-year-old was relieved of his role as a coach within the first team and pulled into the spotlight following Scott Parker’s dismissal.

In November, the former midfielder was appointed as head coach following his temporary appointment as interim manager, in a move that ultimately kept the Cherries fighting in the top-flight.

Bournemouth were three points above the relegation zone at the point of his crowning as permanent head coach, and luckily for those at the Vitality Stadium, the Englishman managed to keep the momentum going.

julen-lopetegui-wolves

O’Neil received an abundance of praise for his transformation of things on the pitch for the south coast side, chopping and changing between his favoured 4-2-3-1 formation to find the best shape for the side he had.

Finishing the season in 15th and five points clear of the chop, was a monumental achievement considering the club’s run-in, however at the end of the campaign the 40-year-old was shockingly dismissed.

Speaking following his exit, former Arsenal legend and pundit Martin Keown branded the decision as “brutal”, however in hindsight, it could be good news for Wolves.

Ending last term as the Premier League’s lowest scorers, things had to change this window, however with the club caught up in the midst of FFP concerns, it doesn’t seem as though things will change.

Club chairman Jeff Shi penned an open letter to fans to explain the struggles and to suggest that the transfer situation is not expected to change dramatically before the close of the window.

Lopetegui has spoken openly about how he is “worried” about the new season, leaving many doubtful about his commitment to staying at Molineux.

O’Neil could be the perfect man, considering how he utilised his squad at the Vitality, taking them six league matches unbeaten at the beginning of his tenure and visibility improving the side’s playing style, whilst also helping them beat the drop – something that the Midlands outfit seem destined to face themselves this term.

The Englishman’s thorough tactical approach and ability to not only keep Bournemouth up last season but to implement an attractive style of play, makes him a strong acquisition for Wolves to consider should Lopetegui exit.

Given his experience at a similar level within the Premier League to the Old Gold’s situation last term, his ability to succeed against the odds could turn fortunes around at Molineux.

Jack Taylor banned again over illegal action

Jack Taylor, the Gloucestershire allrounder, has been banned from bowling for a third time after being reported for a suspect action

ESPNcricinfo staff23-Oct-2017Jack Taylor, the Gloucestershire allrounder, has been banned from bowling for a third time after being reported for a suspect action. As per the ECB’s regulations, he will not to be able to bowl his offspin for 12 months from September 26, 2017.Taylor, 25, was suspended from bowling last season but was allowed to resume a couple of months later after remodelling his action.Having been called again, he underwent testing at Loughborough on September 26 and his arm was found to exceed the permitted 15-degree limit for flexion and extension. As this was his second suspension within a two-year period, he receives an automatic 12-month ban, after which he can request to have his action retested.In recent seasons, Taylor has become a valuable lower-order batsman for Gloucestershire.

Taylor’s value as an allrounder was more apparent in white-ball cricket and he was Man of the Match in the final of the 2015 Royal London Cup as Gloucestershire won their first trophy in a decade.Taylor was previously banned in 2013 for an illegal action before being passed to bowl again after remedial work in February 2014.

South Africa stretch lead to 230 after Maharaj's three

Bangladesh batted for most of the third day and threatened South Africa at times, but the home side fought back with a clean-up job of the visiting team’s tail and furthered their lead to 230 runs

The Report by Mohammad Isam30-Sep-20171:24

Moonda: Bangladesh will be disappointed with soft dismissals

Smart stats

1 – This was the first time Bangladesh’s third, fourth, fifth and sixth wickets all added 50 or more runs in a Test innings.

1 – Number of bigger totals for Bangladesh against South Africa than the 320 they scored in this match. Their highest is 326, which came in Chittagong in 2015. These are the only two 300-plus totals for them in 19 innings against South Africa. Bangladesh’s previous-highest total in South Africa was 252 in East London in 2002.

28 – Runs for which Bangladesh lost their last five wickets in nine overs. They collapsed from 292 for 5 to 320 all out.

Bangladesh batted for most of the third day and threatened South Africa at times. But the home side fought back with a clean-up job of the visiting team’s tail and furthered their lead to 230 runs. When play was called off due to bad light at Senwes Park, they were 54 for 2.Hashim Amla and Temba Bavuma batted out the last 4.5 overs with some ease after Dean Elgar and Aiden Markram were snuffed out early in South Africa’s second innings. Elgar was first to go, after using up a review when Shafiul Islam trapped him in front of middle and leg with one that curved in from back of a length. Aiden Markram chased a Mustafizur Rahman cutter that broke away from him and edged behind. Unlike Elgar, he didn’t challenge the decision, and replays showed his bat had bumped into the ground at the same moment the ball took his outside edge.Bangladesh could possibly have been looking at a much smaller deficit but for a lower-order meltdown that resulted in them losing their last five wickets for 28 runs. Keshav Maharaj bowled well for South Africa despite being attacked at times and finished with three wickets.Bangladesh had done well to move close to the follow-on mark when Sabbir Rahman chopped on a short ball from Duanne Olivier after finding the bounce too disconcerting. But with Mahmudullah well-set on 59, it had at least seemed like Bangladesh would comfortably pass their highest Test score against South Africa, of 326.South Africa decided to take the second new ball halfway into the 84th over and immediately struck, Morkel getting Mahmudullah to chase a length ball and chop it on. A moment’s brilliance from Temba Bavuma at backward point caught Taskin Ahmed short of his crease, and by the time tea was taken, Bangladesh had lost three wickets in six overs.South Africa needed just 19 more balls after the break to take out the last two batsmen. With the ball hard and new, out came the short stuff. Rabada bounced out Mehidy Hasan second ball after the break. Maharaj then found Shafiul Islam’s outside edge with one that straightened from middle and off, Amla pouching an excellent catch at first slip.It was far from how the day had begun for Bangladesh. Morkel and Rabada bowled well at the start of the first two sessions but were wicketless in those periods. As a result, Bangladesh added 91 runs in the first session for the loss of just Tamim Iqbal.Tamim was at times lucky during his stay and survived a blazing opening spell from Rabada. Eventually, he fell to a diving, one-handed catch from Quinton de Kock, who anticipated early and moved to his right, giving Andile Phehlukwayo his maiden Test wicket.Thereafter, Mominul Haque and Mahmudullah buckled down. Mominul, who had looked solid on the second evening, fought through a tough initial spell in the morning, collecting his first runs of the day after 30 testing deliveries.That moment also marked Bangladesh finally opening up, as they took 17 runs off one Rabada over. Fed plenty of deliveries that were angled into his body, Mominul collected eight boundaries through the leg side, five of them between mid-on and midwicket.Mahmudullah took a bit of time to settle down, but once he did, the on-the-up drives, cuts and slog sweeps came out, one of which helped Bangladesh avoid the follow-on and bring up the 300. Mahmudullah adjusted well when Faf du Plessis placed two short covers, placing his shots through the empty third-man region.Their stand of 69 was broken in the fourth over after lunch when Mominul fell for 77. He had gone seven innings without a half-century since his 64 in Wellington in January.Mahmudullah and Sabbir then added 65 for the sixth wicket before both batsmen dragged deliveries on to their stumps. They should have pushed on to bigger scores, but their break in concentration was the theme of Bangladesh’s reply.

Man United Sales Are "Crucial" This Summer

It is "crucial" for Manchester United to find buyers for Donny van de Beek and Fred this summer, as their transfer strategy relies on it, per transfers expert Fabrizio Romano.

Are Donny van de Beek and Fred leaving Manchester United this summer?

It has been a strong transfer window for Erik ten Hag's Red Devils so far this summer, at least in a buying sense.

The arrivals of Mason Mount, Andre Onana and Rasmus Hojlund should all instantly improve the first team and be around long enough to help the Dutchman build his perfect side.

The former Ajax boss would probably like to add more players to the team this summer, with Fiorentina star Sofyan Amrabat one of the names heavily linked to the club.

Read the latest Manchester United transfer news HERE…

Unfortunately for the player, and manager, United now have to sell some of their current players to make space for the Moroccan, per The Telegraph.

Two of the names who could potentially leave are former Ajax midfielder van de Beek and Brazilian international Fred.

Manchester United midfielder Donny van de Beek.

The latter has been linked with a move to Turkish Super Lig giants Galatasaray. However, despite personal terms not being an issue, there is currently a gap in the player's valuation from both sides, per Sky Sports.

In van de Beek's case, it looks as if his miserable time in the northwest might finally be coming to an end, as a report from Spanish publication Noticias de Gipuzkoa (via the Daily Mail) has claimed that La Liga side Real Sociedad are working on a deal to take him on loan next season, with an option to buy for £8m.

Transfers expert Fabrizio Romano explained the situation on his YouTube channel, saying:

"For Man United, it's crucial to find a solution for Donny van de Beek. Real Sociedad are interested, but also, for Fred, we know the interest of Galatasaray, but I'm told that there is still no agreement with Galatasaray at the moment.

"They tried a few days ago to attack the situation, but some other club could enter the race, so it's not guaranteed yet [for] Galatasaray. There are also other clubs in the race. Let's see what happens with Fred.

"For Man United, it is crucial to sell him to make room for Sofyan Amrabat, [who is] waiting for an official bid, not arrived yet."

Who else at Manchester United is linked with an exit?

While the attention seems to be on van de Beek and Fred at the moment, who else could be heading for the door at Old Trafford?

The player that has undoubtedly received the most coverage regarding a potential departure this summer has been former captain Harry Maguire.

The England international has had a rather bleak couple of seasons at the Theatre of Dreams, compounded by the removal of the captaincy earlier this month, and he has since been linked to several clubs in England and abroad.

The Premier League side that have appeared the most interested thus far have been West Ham United, who, after seeing their initial £20m offer rejected by United, are now considering whether or not they will go back in, per Football Insider.

The same publication revealed earlier this month that the three-time European champions would be willing to sell the former Foxes star at a massive loss, around £35m, but that has been complicated somewhat by Maguire wanting his £10m-a-year contract paid out before he agrees to leave.

It looks like the Red Devils are going to be busy for the rest of the summer as they try their best to shift the players that Ten Hag has deemed unnecessary to his new project.
