Nottingham Forest’s pursuit of Dean Henderson could collapse following Manchester United’s desire to not sanction an exit.

The Peoples Person recently reported that the two clubs had held talks over making the goalkeeper’s loan move permanent.

The transfer fee being negotiated was recently reported to be a figure of around £30 million.

Henderson’s season ended at the start of the year following an injury which has recently been operated on.

Throughout his 20 appearances this season, he managed to keep six clean sheets and put in some impressive performances.

It is expected that he will return fit for the pre-season campaign, but it still isn’t clear at which club.

According to Football Insider, due to the ongoing situation with David de Gea’s contract situation, United will not sanction an exit until it is resolved.

The Spaniard is expected to leave at the end of the month with multiple outlets claiming that he will not extend his stay.

However, the club has stated that talks are still ongoing behind the scenes, with a potential new deal not ruled out yet.

If it is true that United are holding off on selling Henderson pending the De Gea outcome, it suggests that they could be planning on making Henderson the club’s number one goalkeeper next season. Erik ten Hag could opt to sign a new shot-stopper to compete with the current options.

Tom Heaton, who is attracting interest from other clubs, will stay next season after the club activated the one-year extension clause in his contract.

Henderson’s contract expires in June 2025 so United have plenty of time to decide whether he should be sold or not.

It is clear that he is unhappy staying at the club as a backup option after publicly calling out the Red Devils for the way they treated him.

Inter Milan striker and Manchester United target Lautaro Martínez is “keen” on joining Chelsea as the transfer window explodes into action across Europe.

New Blues’ manager Mauricio Pochettino is said to be very interested in the player, who is expected to leave the Italian club this summer.

The Argentine striker is attracting huge interest from Premier League clubs including Chelsea and Man United. Both clubs are desperately looking for a regular starter who can slip straight into the starting eleven next season.

The 25-year-old played in 57 matches in all competitions this season, scoring 28 goals as his club reached the Champions League final.

According to Football Insider, sources have told the outlet that Martinez is, in fact, keen on Chelsea’s project despite no European football.

United manager Erik ten Hag will need to act swiftly if he wants to sign the striker who will no doubt be on the shortlist of many more clubs across Europe.

It does feel like he is turning his interest elsewhere with Atalanta’s Rasmus Hojlund a priority at this moment in time.

The outlet confirms that ‘Inter are keen to offload players this summer in a bid to raise funds for their window spending and would reluctantly listen to offers for the World Cup Winner.’

His services could be secured for a deal in the region of £60m, which could be affordable for Ten Hag.

The pending takeover and Financial Fair Play considerations have left United’s transfer budget expected to be very small compared to other summers. However, it could still be enough for the manager to secure a couple of good signings heading into next season and at £60 million, the Argentine could be one of the better options.

Martinez, who recently won the World Cup with Argentina, will no doubt be a quality option at his next club.

Manchester United could sell Jadon Sancho this summer with Aston Villa keen on a potential transfer.

The winger is attracting interest from a wide range of clubs within the Premier League with Tottenham also looking at him.

That is not all as clubs abroad are also keen on the Englishman. A loan back to Borussia Dortmund has been mooted along with a move to Napoli as a potential sweetener in the Kim Min-jae deal.

Erik ten Hag has not always used him as a starter, preferring to play Marcus Rashford off the left and utilising Antony on the right flank.

He has not enjoyed the best of campaigns missing a large chunk in the middle of the season during which he was sent to the Netherlands to recover both physically and mentally.

Since arriving from Borussia Dortmund in 2021, he hasn’t managed to kick on and adapt to the Premier League, suffering multiple issues throughout his time in England.

What has been the most infuriating aspect of watching the England international in action for the Red Devils is his reluctance to take his man on and his tepidness when it comes to taking shots on goal.

Sancho has preferred to take the safe option time and time again, a far cry from the devastating form he showed back in Germany.

According to Football Transfers, Villa are keen on signing the winger with United willing to let him leave after growing frustrated with his output.

The club are demanding a fee of up to £60m for the winger with the Midlands club unlikely to reach this figure.

The outlet confirmed that Villa ‘are not willing to buy the Englishman for that price, but negotiations could well take place and a compromise reached between the two parties’.

It will be intriguing to see what happens to Sancho in the summer with many United fans hoping he stays for longer.

Most will agree that the club are yet to see the best of him and could be making a mistake if they lose him considering his potential and age.

Ten Hag has many youngsters coming through including Alejandro Garnacho, Amad Diallo and Facundo Pellistri who can all easily replace Sancho.

The manager does need to sell well in order to supplement his transfer kitty and stay within FFP restrictions and Sancho could be the one to make way.

Manchester United target Jeremie Frimpong has been criticized for not joining the Netherlands U-21 side.

It comes after the defender was demoted to the youth team after being included in the squad that went to the World Cup.

Erik ten Hag has been looking at fortifying his right-back options throughout the previous campaign and it could finally become reality this summer.

Talks have died down a little bit but nothing has been ruled out considering the market is yet to open.

Frimpong was attracting huge interest from the club after impressive performances for Bayer Leverkusen last season.

However, ever since Diogo Dalot extended his stay at the club, talks of securing a new right-back had vanished.

At this moment in time, it seems likely that any future signing in that position will depend on the future of Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

According to the Mirror, Dutch international manager Ronald Koeman has slammed Frimpong for refusing to join the squad for the European Under-21 Championship.

He claimed to the media that it was ‘not good’ after the 22-year-old declined the call-up.

“I don’t think that’s okay. The Dutch Juniors are playing a European Championship. If a player thinks he’s gone beyond that level, I think you’re making the wrong decision.”

Frimpong, who has appeared in 48 matches across all competitions scoring nine goals clearly thinks he deserves the senior call-up.

He has been impressive for Leverkusen with the club finding themselves back in the Europa League.

Other clubs said to be interested in the right-back include Bayern Munich and Barcelona who are both looking at the youngster.

Ten Hag has a busy summer ahead of him as he looks to fine-tune the squad following a successful campaign.

After securing a top four finish in the Premier League and winning the Carabao Cup, the manager will no doubt want to build on that success and win more trophies at United.

Liverpool have joined the race for Manchester United-target Benjamin Pavard who wants to leave Bayern Munich this summer.

The Peoples Person recently reported that United were interested in signing the defender this summer. He wants to leave the German giants as he wants to play as a centre-back, a role he prefers more than the right-back spot.

Throughout his career, he has often been used as a full-back with the occasional outings at the heart of the defence.

However, it is clear that wants to stick to one position going forwards with Bayern unlikely to play him in his preferred role on a frequent basis.

According to Fichajes.net, a Spanish outlet, Liverpool are willing to enter the race for the defender after his price tag was revealed to be €30 million.

The team from Merseyside are seeking to reinforce their starting eleven after a disappointing season.

They will not be playing in the Champions League next season after a bad spell of form meant they finished outside the top-four.

Having already signed a midfielder, the club are expected to sign a few more along with a new centre-back. Pavard will be a relatively cheap option and could be the ideal candidate for Liverpool this summer.

Erik ten Hag is also looking at strengthening at the back but his top-most priority is to sign a striker this summer. Kim Min-jae is on the shortlist with multiple outlets claiming that a potential deal is very close.

Christian Falk at Caught Offside has also commented on the recent links between the clubs.

He has confirmed Pavard’s desire to leave Bayern this summer with his agent currently talking to other clubs.

He added, “Among them, Liverpool is now a hot candidate.”

United will not want to lose a target to a rival and should act swiftly if the interest in the defender is true.

Manchester United could turn to Inter Milan’s Lautaro Martinez as the club looks to solve its attacking issues in the transfer market.

It was a difficult season in the forward department at Old Trafford after the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo just before the World Cup.

Marcus Rashford had to be used up top with the occasional left-wing appearance until Wout Weghorst joined in the January transfer window.

The Dutch international is now expected to depart the club after his loan expires at the end of the month. It is unlikely that the club will be interested in the striker on a permanent basis.

The Peoples Person recently covered a report stating that Man United could capture Martinez for a fee of around £60 million.

According to Sport Witness, the club have made an initial foray into a possible deal for the World Cup winner.

This season, he has scored 28 goals across all competitions with the Champions League final coming up this weekend.

The striker could consider his future if a reasonable offer comes in, but only some time after his season has ended with international fixtures coming up later this month.

The outlet relays information from TV Play, an Italian outlet, where football agent Mario Cenoli claimed that United ‘have asked for information about the 25-year-old’.

This sort of approach has also been taken with other targets such as Harry Kane and Atalanta’s Rasmus Højlund.

It must be stated that Cenoli doesn’t represent Martinez so any information coming from this source is not from the horse’s mouth, as it were.

However, with multiple outlets reporting this throughout the previous months, it seems likely that Lautaro is indeed being considered as an option on the shortlist. Given the kind of transfer fee being demanded for top strikers and the number of clubs also looking for a number 9, including Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Chelsea, Erik ten Hag is clearly looking at multiple options.

It also depends on the recent takeover interest with club officials heavily focused on negotiations behind the scenes.

It is absolutely vital that the club secures a new forward after United scored the least number of goals within the top six this season.

Manchester United target Sergej Milinkovic-Savic appears to be finally ready to leave Lazio after several years of unfulfilled transfer rumours.

The Peoples Person has previously reported that the club maintains a long-standing interest in the midfielder. And with Erik ten Hag eager to bolster his options in midfield with a couple of new additions this upcoming transfer window, the stars could finally be aligning for the Serbian to finally make to the move to the Premier League.

Fred and Scott McTominay are generating interest from other clubs and could both leave in the next couple of weeks.

Chelsea’s Mason Mount looks likely to be joining the club with the manager not ruling out the possibility of signing another midfielder.

For the entirety of the season, many European clubs have been monitoring the situation with Milinkovic-Savic.

Originally Lazio were demanding €100 million for the midfielder, which is why United were never able to get a deal over the line. However, the club now accepts that he is extremely likely to leave and with a year left on his contract, Lazio have had to slash the asking price.

Italian outlet la Gazzetta dello Sport reports that the asking price is €35-40m (around £30-£35m).

With another reported target, West Ham’s Declan Rice, looking to cost over £100 million, Erik ten Hag could see the Serbian international as a world-class, proven alternative to the England man.

The Sun reports that Milinkovic-Savic appeared to wave goodbye to the Roman fans last weekend.

He has played for Lazio for eight years and has clearly built an emotional connection with the side. They have just qualified for the Champions League after an impressive Serie A campaign.

The midfielder was substituted during the last minute of the last game of the Serie A season, a gesture from the head coach that usually happens to allow the player to have a good send off.

Arsenal and Liverpool are the other clubs looking into the midfielder as Lazio prepare an exit that will avoid them losing him on a free transfer in a year’s time.

Manchester United target Randal Kolo Muani has indicated that his preference is to move to the Premier League.

The attacker is attracting a wide range of global interest, including from Paris Saint-Germain.

His performances on the pitch have proven a level of productivity that would surely benefit Erik ten Hag as he looks to improve his team’s goalscoring prowess. Kolo Muani has scored 23 goals in 45 appearances in his first season at Eintracht Frankfurt and could be on the move again this summer.

The Peoples Person has previously relayed that Man United are showing an interest in the 24-year-old.

And according to Canal Football Club, through outlet Goal, he has hinted at preferring a move to England to play in the Premier League.

Muani, who has a price tag of around €90m, will decide upon his future in the coming weeks now that his season has drawn to a close. Likewise, Ten Hag will start to look at different options as he begins to structure his squad for the next campaign.

The forward recently spoke to the media about the clubs who are rumoured to be interested in him.

‘It’s flattering that PSG are interested in you, like all the other big clubs. It’s not just because you come from the Parisian region and grow up there that you should automatically play for PSG’

While a return to his home country isn’t totally ruled out at this stage, the player’s comments on his Premier League dream are telling.

‘Honestly, who doesn’t dream of playing in the Premier League? It’s one of the best leagues that exists. You dream about it.

‘These are childhood dreams. But I’m not searching for the perfect club or the best club in the world.

‘I’m really looking for the club that will give me the chance to be able to express myself, to earn game time and most importantly allow me to grow.’

Alongside United’s interest in Kolo Muani, Rasmus Hojlund is a possible alternative. Harry Kane has not yet been completely ruled out either, despite Tottenham Hotspur’s current stance.

United will desperately search for their next striker as they also look to secure a new midfielder and potentially a goalkeeper.

Manchester United target Mason Mount is edging closer to leaving Chelsea with a possible transfer happening at the end of next week.

The Peoples Person has been following the latest transfer speculation, with reports stating that talks between the two clubs are underway. After agreeing personal terms earlier in the week, it became clear that this could move fast after the FA Cup final.

This appears to be the case with Erik ten Hag getting straight to work on trying to secure some world-class transfers this summer.

According to Football Insider, sources claim Mount has “[told] Chelsea he wants to join Man United”.

The outlet also says that insiders expect the deal to be sealed by the end of the week.

It will mark the first signing of the summer after the club managed to qualify for the Champions League towards the end of the Premier League season.

The outlet states that Chelsea initially wanted £80 million to let Mount go but are willing to accept a deal at around £70m.

United don’t want to pay more than £50-60m with a potential transfer still far away from being agreed. However, with Mount having one year left on his current deal, Chelsea are not in a strong bargaining position.

Mount has already rejected three contract offers from the London club and has now made his feelings clear about being allowed to leave.

The outlet says that “Mount’s struggles to agree an extension at his current club has stemmed from his desire to be on par with the top earners in the side, including his England teammate Reece James.”

Joining the Red Devils will lead to a massive bump in salary, according to Football Insider. He currently earns £80,000-per-week at Chelsea but will be paid around £200,000-per-week at Old Trafford, it is claimed.

It clearly will be a big step up for the 24-year-old, who wants to reboot his career after a difficult season in the Premier League.

Mason Mount’s asking price for Mason Mount has been revealed by the press, as Chelsea confirm they want £70 million for the midfielder.

The Peoples Person previously reported earlier today that the two clubs had opened talks over a possible transfer this summer. The England international has one year left on his club contract and looks likely to be leaving this summer.

The 24-year-old has already agreed personal terms with the club and appeared to bid farewell to Chelsea fans following the conclusion of his season.

But things are moving fast and now, according to The Evening Standard, Chelsea have told United that they want at least £70m for Mount.

The outlet says that United “are preparing to make an opening offer for the midfielder following the FA Cup Final” as Erik ten Hag looks to bolster his midfield.

That offer is expected to be much lower than Chelsea’s asking price and the Standard says that ‘United will hope to strike a deal at around £50-60m.’

Chelsea have offered Mount three new deals, but no agreement has been met with it looking unlikely talks will progress.

With the new regime, they are looking at cutting some of their squad following a disastrous Premier League season.

With no continental football, many clubs will be interested in the players at Chelsea and could raid the club in the coming weeks.

As well as Man United, other clubs interested in cherry-picking some of their stars are Arsenal, Bayern Munich and Liverpool.

In addition to Mount, players like Kalidou Koulibaly, N’Golo Kane, Mateo Kovacic, Christian Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech have been heavily linked with exits

Mount’s exit from Chelsea could therefore start a summer exodus from the club.
