All of Tuesday’s biggest Man United news and transfer rumour gossip.

The agent of Roberto Firmino, the Hoffenheim and Brazil forward who has been linked with a move to Manchester United, has confirmed the 23-year-old is “moving to England”, but any deal will only be completed after the Copa America, according to the Manchester Evening News.
Roger Wittmann, who represents the 23-year-old, would not confirm where the striker’s exact destination was – although he has recently been linked with a move to Manchester United.
United must meet a £35m release clause if they want to sign Valencia’s 27-year-old Argentina defender Nicolas Otamendi. The Old Trafford club had valued the player at closer to £25m, the Daily Mirror reports.
