Bruno Fernandes turned down a £200m contract to move to Saudi Arabia, while Bryan Mbeumo has picked Old Trafford as his potential next destination, following Matheus Cunha’s lead in overlooking the club’s lack of European football to offer.

The Brentford forward had Arsenal and Newcastle United lurking with intent, both with a Champions League carrot in their hands, while Fernandes could have been off to the Club World Cup, ladened with unimaginable riches.
Player sales were always an absolute necessity. Now, they have to happen sooner rather than later to give co-owners Ineos an idea of budget for Amorim, all while keeping the Premier League’s profitability and sustainability rules (PSR) at bay.

Sancho is attracting interest from Saudi Arabia, who would see signing the talented forward as a major coup, sources said, given his age.
Fernandes’ decision also heightens fans’ fears that Kobbie Mainoo could be sold. Chelsea remain keen, despite their midfield numbers already.

Antony is another Ten Hag could reunite with. The Brazilian bade an emotional goodbye to Real Betis following the Spanish side’s Europa Conference League final defeat to Chelsea, having impressed on loan in Andalucia.
Marcus Rashford’s dream move to Barcelona is yet to materialise, despite Barca sporting director Deco admitting he is on the Catalan giants’ radar.
It is understood Rashford could be available for less than the £40m option-to-buy Aston Villa had included in their loan agreement with United – one neither player nor club seem interested in taking up.

Despite the Dane’s struggles in England, his reputation in Italy – where he made his name with Atalanta – remains strong.
It is not clear what fee United would accept, given they shelled out £72m to sign him only two years ago.
