Man Utd hijack Brentford bid for wonderkid just days after snaring £71m Bryan Mbeumo from Premier League rivals
BRENTFORD face a transfer battle with Manchester United over whizkid Idrissa Gueye. The Bees are reeling from losing forward Bryan Mbeumo to the Red Devils in a £71million deal. 2 Yoane Wissa is also set to leave this summer — but new boss Keith Andrews feels he can put one over United chief Ruben Amorim by landing Senegalese kid Gueye. Andrews wants to snap up the Metz forward, 18, but thought Brentford had only Southampton to beat for his signature. Yet United and Burnley have since joined the hunt, along with German side Borussia Dortmund. And the fierce competition has forced Bees chief to now look at matching his French club's £15m asking price. Brentford can offer Gueye a chance at early Premier League football, while United only see him as a long-term project. The Clarets are late to the chase but remain realistic candidates as they too could offer a quicker route to first-team football. The teenager only joined Ligue 2 Metz from Senegalese club Génération Foot in January, making his debut in a goalless draw with Lorient. He scored his first goal in a 3-1 win over Paris FC just days after arriving, but saw his special occasion end in A&E. Gueye collided with an opponent and was rushed to hospital with damage to his teeth. Gueye was also part of the Senegal squad that handed Thomas Tuchel his first defeat as England boss. After an early Harry Kane opener, the African side turned the game around to secure a historic 3-1 win at the City Ground, though Gueye was an unused substitute.

'Shaw is a world-class player'
Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has labelled left-back Luke Shaw "world-class".After two injury-plagued seasons, Shaw looks fit heading into the 2025-26 campaign. That could be crucial over the next few weeks, as the 30-year-old is expected to fill the left central defensive berth while World Cup winner Lisandro Martinez continues his recovery from major knee United fans found it hugely frustrating that Shaw's only start in over 14 months - between February 2024 and April 2025 - came in the Euro 2024 final, when he completed the full 90 minutes in the defeat by Amorim feels that - and the fact Shaw also featured for the whole game in the Euro 2021 final, when England lost on penalties to Italy and he scored the early opener - says everything about his qualities."Luke Shaw is a world-class player," said Amorim. "That is my feeling. You can feel it in the small things; when he touches the ball, the ability to play one against one."England had two finals. He had issues during the season, but in the final he is always there. That means something."But he needs to be fit. He needs to train at the limit, which is what he is doing at the moment."He is a great player and I am really pleased with him."

PSG 'agree deal for new goalkeeper', with 'door open for Man United or Man City' to sign Gianluigi Donnarumma
Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly agreed a deal for a new goalkeeper, leaving the future of Gianluigi Donnarumma up in the air - with Manchester United and Manchester City now poised to pounce. United are still hunting for stability between the sticks following a rough two-year spell from Andre Onana, who has failed to impress since joining from Inter Milan for £47.2million in 2023. Since his arrival, no Premier League goalkeeper has committed more errors leading to goals across all competitions than Onana's eight. His save percentage in 2024–25 was just 67.2 per cent - ranking 11th in the league. Meanwhile at City, Ederson 's long-term future has been questioned, and the club are set to re-sign James Trafford from Burnley for £27m. Trafford is regarded as a bright talent who could provide competition or eventually succeed Ederson down the line. The 22-year-old came through City's academy but never made a senior appearance for the first team before joining Burnley in 2023 for £15m - nevertheless, City retained a buy-back option for their exciting talent. According to L'Equipe, PSG are closing in on signing Lille's promising shot-stopper Lucas Chevalier. The 23-year-old is seen as a long-term project who could eventually start for the French capital club. The arrival of Chevalier could force Donnarumma to consider his options, with both United and City said to be in the race to sign him. Before sanctioning Donnarumma's departure, it is believed that PSG want to secure the signing of Chevalier. Donnarumma enjoyed the most successful season of his career in 2024-25, registering 12 clean sheets as PSG marched to an imperious treble-winning campaign. The Italian shot-stopper is widely considered the frontrunner to win the Yashin Trophy for a second time - an award handed out to the best-performing goalkeeper in the world. It has not yet been disclosed what fee PSG would demand for Donnarumma, but it would not be surprising if clubs were forced to break the bank for him. Kepa Arrizabalaga remains the most expensive goalkeeper ever, after Chelsea signed him from Athletic Bilbao in 2018 for £71.6m. No Premier League goalkeeper has committed more errors leading to goals across all competitions than Onana's eight since he arrived at United Ederson has made 372 appearances and kept 168 clean sheets for City since joining for £35m from Benfica in 2017 Donnarumma's deal expires in the summer of 2026, but he has made it clear that he wants to stay in Paris. 'My priority is to stay at PSG and sign a new deal,' he said last month. 'I don't think there will be any problems in the negotiations.' Donnarumma began his career at ASD Club Napoli's youth system before moving to AC Milan, where he went on to make his Serie A debut at 16 years old in 2015. He cemented himself as not only one of the most exciting young talents but one of the best goalkeepers in world football, before joining PSG as a free agent in the summer of 2021.
