Fabrizio Romano: United target's agent declares player is "ready to leave"

Brentford could risk losing Manchester United target David Raya on a free transfer next summer.

David de Gea could be leaving the club this summer after a possible new deal has not yet been signed.

It has been reported that the keeper has agreed to new terms but the club’s hierarchy is yet to confirm the extension.

Naturally, this means Erik ten Hag needs to consider a new starting goalkeeper, and with Tom Heaton and Dean Henderson’s futures undecided, United are lacking in numbers between the sticks.

David Raya has been linked numerous times to the club but his asking price is a step too far as reported by The Peoples Person.

Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on where the Spanish international’s agent stands on the current situation.

🚨 EXCL — David Raya’s Futbol21Pro agent Jaume Munell: “If Brentford does not lower the price tag for David Raya this summer, we’ll be ready to leave as free agent in one year”.

He recently tweeted ‘EXCL — David Raya’s Futbol21Pro agent Jaume Munell: “If Brentford does not lower the price tag for David Raya this summer, we’ll be ready to leave as free agent in one year.”

‘Raya and his camp expect clarity over future after Brentford signed Flekken but still ask for £40m.’

Other clubs mulling over a potential bid for the goalkeeper include Tottenham Hotspur, who are expected to lose their regular starter Hugo Lloris this summer.

It is unclear whether Man United will pursue a deal for Raya, having prioritised signing a striker this summer.

A midfielder and a defender are also high on the list, but signing a goalkeeper will be up there at the top as the club will have limited options going into the next season.

Ten Hag will focus on the transfer situation after the FA Cup final this weekend, but with no clarity over the transfer budget, it is hard to predict what will happen.

"Parting of the ways" expected between United and fan-favourite - report

Manchester United finished the Premier League season in third place and thus confirmed their presence in next season’s Champions League group stage.

However, the season is not yet over as the FA Cup Final looms on June 3 and the chance to preserve the club’s legacy of being the only British club win the historic Treble.

A rampant Manchester City stand in the way and Erik ten Hag will be hoping for a superlative performance from his players at Wembley on Saturday.

Martial has under-performed yet again

One player who will not be taking part in that historic game is Anthony Martial with The Peoples Person confirming that the United No 9 has once again been ruled out through injury.

The Frenchman’s poor injury record coupled with his general lazy attitude while on the pitch should ideally mean the game against Fulham will be his last game in a red shirt.

The United boss trusted him after a fine pre-season and the 27-year-old has once again let down yet another United manager.

According to Football Insider, the former Monaco starlet will be let go should the Red Devils receive a satisfactory offer.

“Man United are happy to let Anthony Martial leave the club this summer, sources have told Football Insider. It is believed the Red Devils will hold out for the right fee for the 27-year-old – who is already in-demand as the 2022-23 campaign draws to a close.

“A well-placed source has told Football Insider that all parties consider a “parting of the ways” to be for the best,” the report added.

ETH looking to add more firepower and let go of Martial

Martial has managed nine goals and three assists and while he has impressed in a few games, those have been too few and far between and mostly the manager has not had the luxury of being able to count on him when needed.

The France international has suffered from a variety of injuries — hamstring, hip, back and Achilles — and has missed a total of 28 games during the season.

Fans have always been patient with regards to the Frenchman and have never allowed their support to waiver but he has rarely come close to fulfilling his immense potential during his eight-year stay at the club.

United will be looking to increase their summer transfer budget through player sales and Martial is valued at €15million as per Transfermarkt.

United will do well to get more than that for a player they paid €60million for back in 2015. Ten Hag has already spoken of his desire to add more firepower up front to support Marcus Rashford.

"£100m": Rio Ferdinand names 4 players Man United must sell to boost Ten Hag's warchest

Rio Ferdinand believes that Manchester United can give Erik ten Hag’s transfer war chest a £100m boost by selling just four squad players.

Speaking on his Vibe with Five podcast, the legendary defender outlined the club’s need for investment and, realising that United may need to raise funds to fully revitalise the squad, he went on to name players that could leave in the summer.

“McTominay hasn’t played much football, not as much as he would like,” Ferdinand began. “If I was him as a young player I would probably start assessing that situation and start having real hard conversations with the club: ‘Do you see me as part of it or not?’.

“If I’m that far down the pecking order I would start looking and I don’t think he will have a problem finding a club, he is a very good footballer and he can add a lot of value.”

As reported by The Peoples Person, Scott McTominay is of interest to a number of Premier League clubs, with Eddie Howe of Newcastle United a known admirer.

Ferdinand went on to reiterate the potential of a Harry Maguire departure, having previously said the United captain needs to move of from Old Trafford.

“Maguire has to look at a new option for himself,” he said. “Unless he says he’s happy to be third or fourth choice.”

As with McTominay, Maguire does have admirers, with Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United having been linked with exits.

Rio Ferdinand’s next two suggestions appear somewhat more left-field in terms of the sort of fees the club could expect to bring in.

“Elanga, maybe,” he mused. “He is not getting a chance. Martial has proved that he can’t stay fit. I think if you got rid of those four, there is a £100million sitting there. Elanga isn’t getting the football he deserves. He did well when he came in and still isn’t getting a chance. Big players in front of him but he wants to be playing first team football.”

While Anthony Elanga did enjoy some decent moments during Man United’s nightmare 2021/2022 campaign, his quality has been up for debate for a long time. There is also the issue that the only offers that have reportedly come in for the Swede to date have been loan proposals. But as a quick player enjoying home-grown status, and on relatively reasonable wages, it is not unthinkable that a club could offer Elanga a permanent exit.

Anthony Martial‘s case is somewhat different. It is difficult to see a club willing to gamble on a player who has missed 53 matches due to injury in the last three seasons, particularly when that player commands a £250,000-a-week contract. Man United would do well to get any sort of fee for him based on those number, and will likely be better off waiting for his contract to expire next year.

United have "reserved the No.7" shirt as they aim to secure World Cup winner - report

A third-place finish secured in the Premier League and the chance to add another piece of silverware coming up, Manchester United under Erik ten Hag are certainly on the way back up.

But the Dutchman will be aware of the need to strengthen if his side are to take the next step and challenge for the league title and fight it out with the big boys in Europe.

And the addition of an elite goalscorer is the need of the hour after the Red Devils finished the season as the lowest goalscorers among the top six sides.

United need a goalscorer

The rumour mill seems to suggest that Tottenham talisman Harry Kane is the manager’s dream target while Serie A champ Victor Osimhen of Napoli is also on the list.

However, United are keeping backup options ready with El Nacional (via Football365) sensationally claiming that Ousmane Dembele of Barcelona could be a potential option.

The Frenchman’s current deal with the Catalan giants expires next summer and so far, negotiations over a new and improved deal have not amounted to anything much.

The 26-year-old is said to be “assessing the options he has on the table” with United and arch-rivals Liverpool “incredibly interested” in taking advantage of his “ridiculous” €50m release clause.

The World Cup winner is extremely versatile and can play on both flanks, as a centre-forward and even as a No 10 and his pace and ball carrying ability can prove quite devastating for opponents.

In 33 games across all competitions this season, Dembele has netted eight times while he has also chipped in with seven assists.

Liverpool vs United for Dembele

While the France international seems to be a “personal request of Jurgen Klopp”, United are reportedly offering him a sensational gift should he move to Old Trafford.

United are said to have “reserved the No.7” shirt, worn by legends like Cristiano Ronaldo and David Beckham, for the former Borussia Dortmund star.

Dembele’s injury record still remains patchy and he has missed 17 games this season. It seems unlikely that a player Barca paid £130m for in the summer of 2017 would be allowed to leave for so less.

Sensational stories linking United to superstars are certainly on the rise and with the transfer window edging closer, fans will need to take such stories with pinch of salt.
