Transfer Roundup: Pogba to Real, Adrien Rabiot, de Ligt, Felix and More

So, we're now well into silly season this summer, and it's a depressing time for United fans. With City winning the league, and last night, Liverpool winning the European Cup for the 6th time last night, it's a major blow to experience two of our biggest rivals winning the two biggest trophies in club football.

And while the transfer window is always a game of cat and mouse, we can only hope and pray that the board actually squeeze the trigger and get some of the signings they have been linked with.

Van Gaal on Woodward

Louis Van Gaal has given the world a piece of his mind on the impact of Ed Woodward at United, and Man United fans might well agree.

At Bayern, the people in charge are football men. I always appreciated that,” he said, in the Express.

“At Manchester United, on the other hand, Ed Woodward was installed as CEO — somebody with zero understanding of football who was previously an investment banker.

"It cannot be a good thing when a club is run solely from a commercially-driven perspective.”


De Ligt


It has emerged that Barcelona are set to offer the Dutch player the same as his former Ajax team mate Frenkie De Jong. However, is is appears to be their final offer. Meanwhile, we're desperate to sign the 19 year old, to be at the heart of our defence, as part of the rebuild we need.


De Gea to PSG


The transfer of De Gea to Paris San Germain continues, as United have put a £75 million price tag on the goalkeeper. It's a shame that it has come to this, and a consequence of the board mismanaging the team, and also contract renewals - they failed to extend the players contract, and now we are fighting to get a return on his sale, given that he will be able to leave next summer on a free transfer.

Meanwhile, the board is looking at replacements in the form of Jasper Cillessen, of Barcelona, AC Milan’s Gianluigi Donnarumma and Atletico Madrid goalie Jan Oblak are all potential targets to replace the best player we have had over the past few years.

David Seaman says we should be doing everything we can to keep him, but given the poor state of the team and the lack of Champion's League football, it's hard to see why he should stay.


Adrien Rabiot

United are putting out the stop to sign the 24 year old midfielder from PSG, with an offer of £170,000 in weekly salary to attract him. With Tottenham and Juventus both interested, and able to offer him Champion's League football, he could be attracted elsewhere, but United are hoping to turn his head by paying a more attractive wage. Fingers crossed.

Pogba to Real - Player Swap

It's no secret that Pogba wants to leave United, and Real is one of the few clubs that wants him, and is big enough to afford him. However, Florentino Perez doesn't want to part with too much cash for the player, and would rather put in an offer of player exchange, for Gareth Bale, James Rodriguez AND Keylor Nava - 3 players for one.

It's all to be taken with a pinch of salt, but some type of deal involving Pogba and Real does currently appear to be on the cards.

Richarlison To Stay At Everton

United are targeting Richarlison, currently an Everton forward, as part of their summer plans, but the player has come out and said he is comfortable at the club.

He told  FourFourTwo : “It’s a nice feeling when you get praise for your good work, but I’m not thinking about a transfer at the moment.

“I’ve just arrived at Everton. I’m happy here.”

Joao Felix 

United are competing with the likes of Real for Benfica forward Joao Felix with a whopping £100 million offer for the 19 year old. Portuguese newspaper Correio da Manha says United are set to make a £80 million offer with add ons that should see it got up to £105 million.

The report claims that United are set to sell two players to afford the younger, but the club's president  Luis Filipe Viera will not accept it.
