Manchester United faces an urgent need to sell players before any further summer signings, with arrivals likely to be late if sanctioned by Jim Ratcliffe. Rasmus Hjlund appears headed to Napoli on a loan-with-option-to-buy, with RB Leipzig, Atalanta and Milan also interested. Alejandro Garnacho is widely linked with Chelsea, though a move may be time-sensitive. Antony is expected to return to Real Betis amid reported Bayern Munich interest. Kobbie Mainoo has not played this season and is reportedly attracting interest from multiple clubs. Newcastle pursue Yoane Wissa and Jrgen Strand Larsen, possibly accelerated by Anthony Gordon's suspension.
Let's start with a disclaimer: today's Rumour Mill may contain some Manchester United. Because, as has been the case for at least 11 years now, everyone knows United are just two or three signings away from being a real force promise! Except, if Big Sir Jim Ratcliffe is to sanction any more incomings this summer, they will be very late additions, as shipping players out of Old Trafford is an urgent priority.
Rasmus Hjlund looks to be en route to Napoli where he will, no doubt, channel his inner Scott McTominay and emerge as Ballon d'Or-contending world-beater. RB Leipzig, Atalanta and Milan are also lurking with intent around the Dane, but Naples on a loan-with-option-to-buy style deal is the likeliest destination. We are all told Alejandro Garnacho will join Chelsea but time is running out for him to actually join Chelsea.
Away from Old Trafford, Newcastle's pursuits of Yoane Wissa and Jrgen Strand Larsen continue apace, a pace possibly hastened by Anthony Gordon's red card against Liverpool and forthcoming suspension. There's another striker who may leave St James' Park for the Reds before the window SLAMS shut on 1 September, but his name escapes us. Chelsea are finally shedding themselves of some unwanted talent.
