Friday’s biggest Manchester United news and transfer rumour gossip.
Representatives of Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea are increasingly confident the 24 -year-old Spain international will join Real Madrid by the end of the transfer window, the Daily Mirror reports.
De Gea has been exiled from the first team by boss Louis van Gaal until the saga over the Spain star’s future is resolved, one way or the other.
Manchester United have been handed a tricky group in their Champions League draw and will face PSV Eindhoven, Wolfsburg and CSKA Moscow, the Daily Star reports.
The draw will see new signing Memphis Depay return to his former club for the first time since joining the club last month.
Manchester United have made a £29.1million plus add-ons bid for Lazio forward Felipe Anderson, according to reports in the Metro.
The Brazilian was strongly linked with a switch to Old Trafford at the beginning of the transfer window, but the move failed to materialise as United pursued other targets.
Neymar moving to Manchester United is ‘not impossible’, according to former Barcelona defender Juliano Belletti (via Daily Mirror).
But the Brazilian does not believe that his national team’s captain will make the move to Old Trafford, as he is happy and content at the Nou Camp.
