United open to selling struggling Hojlund
Manchester United are ready to let Rasmus Hojlund leave on loan this summer — with Napoli circling, reports Fabrizio Romano.

United favour a permanent clause — and Hojlund himself is said to be pushing for any deal to include an obligation.
United want competition for Garnacho
Manchester United are hoping Tottenham jump back into the hunt for Alejandro Garnacho — to spark a bidding war with Chelsea, according to GIVEMESPORT.

Harry Maguire has been speaking about his future
Manchester United defender Harry Maguire has been speaking about is future amid growing reports that he could leave the club this summer.
Maguire is quoted by the Manchester Evening News: ” Last year, the clause was in their hands, so there was no option for me there.
“There was no talking. It was just that they activated it, and it got extended. This year, obviously I’m up at the end of the year.
“I’m pretty sure the club have made it aware this summer that I can’t leave the club on any terms with other clubs enquiring about my things and my position with my contract.
“I’m sure over the next few months they’ll sit down and we’ll have to have a conversation about where we want to go and if they want to extend, or obviously the transfer window will open again in January.”
Wharton blow
According to Diario AS, Real Madrid are keeping tabs on Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton, in a blow to Man Utd’s pursuit.
