Man Utd transfer news: Club set Carlos Baleba deadline as Marcus Rashford faces nightmare
Manchester United have continued to spend heavily throughout the summer transfer window but the Red Devils might not be totally finished when it comes to incoming transfers this summer Manchester United kick off their Premier League campaign THIS WEEK - and their squad has been transformed under Ruben Amorim. The Red Devils can boast a totally new front line following a lucrative summer transfer window. Both Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo put pen to paper on moves from Wolves and Brentford earlier this year. The pair have been followed by striker Benjamin Sesko, who completed a big-money switch from German side RB Leipzig. The Red Devils might not be totally finished there either. A new midfielder is potentially on their shortlist before next month's deadline amid links with Brighton 's Carlos Baleba. Away from incomings, United also need to focus on sales. Marcus Rashford has already departed and could be followed out of the door by Antony, Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho and more. With that being said, take a look at all of the latest transfer news and rumours from Old Trafford… United set Baleba deadline Man United have been told to get a move on in their bid to sign Brighton's Baleba - or risk Real Madrid hijacking a switch. Speaking to talkSPORT, Troy Deeney said: 'I think United have to get Baleba this window, or they don't get him. 'If he has another good season, I do think other teams with Real Madrid and the like will come in and go 'Bosh, we'll have him'. 'I think if Man United want him…if I'm Ruben Amorim I'm kind of bullish on that. I'd be saying 'get this deal done because then I can get you into Europe'. If they can sign him, he can move them up 10 spaces [in the Premier League ].' Rashford facing Barcelona nightmare Barcelona chief Joan Laporta has admitted that Marcus Rashford might NOT be registered in time for the new season following his loan switch to Catalonia. 'We're working to make it happen," he said. 'With Marc's decision, we have the option of registering Joan Garcia, and we're working on the rest. This week we'll have news, hopefully good news, to see if we can register them before La Liga starts. And if we can't, we have time.' Barcelona have until the end of August to sort the issue out - albeit Rashford could miss the start of the new La Liga campaign. Lopez speaks out Sticking with Barcelona, reported United target Fermin Lopez has said he has no intention of leaving the club any time soon. He said: "I want to stay here. It's my dream and I will stay, I'm happy to help the team. Many things have been said. "But I am going to continue defending these colours and working as hard as anyone else, so that the Catalans are calm.' Recent reports have claimed that United were considering a £61m offer for the midfielder.

Harry Maguire hopeful ‘fresh start' can lead to change in Man Utd fortunes
United's post-Ferguson malaise hit an all-time low after a 15th-placed finish – their worst ever in the Premier League – and not even a run to the Europa League final, where they lost to Tottenham, could paper over the cracks. But the big-name signings of Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko, as well as a £50million training ground upgrade, have given United a spring in their step to go into the new campaign. They welcome old rivals Arsenal in their season opener on Sunday and Maguire, appearing on the Rio Ferdinand Presents podcast, said: 'The lads are working hard and it's a great atmosphere in the place. 'We want to be successful, we're doing everything we can to be successful. Sometimes we know it's not been good enough for a recent (period) and we've not given our fans as much. 'I feel like it's almost a little bit of a fresh start and hopefully this start is a good start.' Maguire, who missed the start of a pre-season trip to the United States for a personal matter, joined United six years ago from Leicester in an £80million deal, a then world record fee for a defender. His signing is among a number of eye-popping sums United have spent but consistent success under any manager has eluded them in the last dozen years since Sir Alex Ferguson's departure. Maguire said: 'There has been a transition period, obviously, when Sir Alex was here and we had the best team by far and won all the trophies. But the reality is that we're not the best team. 'You've got to thrive off the pressure and you've got to play like you're playing in a playground. I think that's what we've struggled to find over the last 10 years.' Maguire has polarised opinion at Old Trafford and his days appeared numbered under former manager Erik ten Hag, who stripped the England centre-back of the captaincy and dropped him from the first team. A move to West Ham in 2023 collapsed as Maguire decided to fight for his place and he has found himself back in favour since Ten Hag was dismissed and replaced by incumbent boss Ruben Amorim last year. Indeed, a 12-month extension to his contract was triggered in January and United have reportedly rejected overtures from a number of clubs to keep Maguire, whose deal expires at the end of the season. Addressing the criticism he gets at United, the 32-year-old added: 'I think there's more scrutiny on Manchester United just because more people in the country hate them – and that's just a fact.' :: Listen to the full Rio Meets Harry Maguire interview on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Steelers DT Cameron Heyward willing to miss games in contract dispute
August 12 - Pittsburgh Steelers star defensive tackle Cameron Heyward insinuated Monday that he is willing to sit out some regular-season games to get a better contract. The disgruntled Heyward has been with the team in training camp but recently began sitting out practice sessions amid a hold-in. "My goal is to be out here, and I don't know what's going to happen," Heyward told reporters on Monday. "I've had to be honest with myself to be ready for every option. And has it gone the way I wanted to go? No. "If it did, I would be out there playing and practicing, but I'd like to put this in the rearview mirror and worry about ball and worry about the New York Jets (in) Week 1." Heyward, a seven-time Pro Bowl selection, signed a two-year, $29 million extension with the Steelers last September. It keeps him with the team through the 2026 season. Defensive player salaries have spiked upwards and Pittsburgh linebacker T.J. Watt received a three-year, $123 million deal in the offseason with $108 million guaranteed. The $41 million annual average set a record for defensive players. The 36-year-old Heyward wants his piece of the financial pie. "I'm looking to be valued," Heyward said. .".. I know what I bring to this team and what I'm capable of on and off the field, so it's hard for me, after the year I've had (in 2024), to really justify playing at the number I'm playing at. "I understand. I signed a contract last year, but to be completely honest with you, when I signed that, I told him when I have an All-Pro year expecting me to come back and you can look at the contract and see what it was. But I think everybody kind of giggled a little bit, but in my head, I used it as motivation to go out there and prove it." Heyward earned first-team All-Pro honors last season for the fourth time in a career that began with the Steelers in 2011. He had 71 tackles, eight sacks and a career-high 11 pass breakups last season. Heyward has 88.5 career sacks in 211 games (176 starts). He will likely warrant heavy Pro Football Hall of Fame consideration after his career ends. Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin isn't overly concerned with the stalemate between Heyward and club management. "It's just a component of big business," Tomlin told reporters. "It's not exclusive to us or to Cam. It's going on in a lot of locations. "The great thing about it is we've had good relations with Cam since he's been here. He's been a heck of a Steeler. We communicate formally and informally. I imagine it'll remain the same, and we'll find a way to see our way through these things." --Field Level Media
