Man Utd transfer news LIVE: Italian giants ‘join race for Hojlund', Rashford sends Barcelona PLEA, Mbeumo makes ‘U-TURN'
Bryan Mbeumo U-turn
Manchester United have reportedly been dealt a transfer blow amid their pursuit of Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo.
Mbeumo appeared to have been prioritising a move to United despite Tottenham's attempts to reunite him with his former manager Thomas Frank.
But latest reports suggest the winger has made a major U-turn regarding his preference.
According to journalist Duncan Castles, the Cameroon international favours a move to Spurs rather than Man Utd.
The North Londoners can offer the 25-year-old something the Red Devils can't - and that's Champions League football.

'Trailblazer' and former England fast bowler Lawrence dies at 61
June 22 (Reuters) - Former England fast bowler David "Syd" Lawrence has died at the age of 61 after a year-long battle with motor neurone disease (MND), his family said on Sunday. Lawrence, the first British-born Black cricketer to represent England, was diagnosed last year with MND, a degenerative condition that causes muscle wastage and affects the brain and nerves. "It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Dave Lawrence MBE (King's Birthday Honours) following his brave battle with Motor Neurone Disease," Lawrence's family said. "Syd was an inspirational figure on and off the cricket field... A proud Gloucestershire man, Syd took on every challenge with everything he could and his final contest with MND was no different. "His willingness to encourage and think of others right up to the end was typical of the man he was. As President of Gloucestershire County Cricket Club, Syd took on the role with incredible pride and passion and loved every minute of it." Lawrence, who earned five test caps for England, made 280 appearances for Gloucestershire and took 625 wickets for the county. His test debut came at Lord's against Sri Lanka in 1988, with his career highlight being a five-wicket haul against the West Indies at the Oval in 1991. In 2022, Lawrence became Gloucestershire County Cricket Club's first Black president and he was named one of the inaugural Honorary Life Vice-Presidents of the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) earlier this year. ECB chairman Richard Thompson described Lawrence as "a true trailblazer of English cricket and a man of immense courage, character, and compassion". "His impact on the game extended far beyond the boundary ropes," Thompson added in a statement. "As a fast bowler, he thrilled crowds with his pace and passion. As a leader and advocate, he broke barriers and inspired change, becoming a powerful voice for inclusion and representation in our sport."

The European games will take a lot out of Hibs and Aberdeen, so I can see us having a good start with good We need to make a fast start and I'm pleased to have Celtic at home first game. We should have nothing to fear after going undefeated in the top six after the split last season. We've shown how well organised and competitive we can be on our day. What we need this season is more consistency. It was a puzzle last season to watch us great one week and poor the next. Top six again will be a massive challenge for a club of our means, but I genuinely think we can do it again. And of course I'd love a good cup run - we are overdue one!Pat: We will be top six from day one to the end of the season and win a cup.
