Man Utd transfer news: Hojlund, Sancho and Garnacho exits stall as Donnarumma plea made
Manchester United have two weeks remaining in the summer transfer window and are facing a race against time to sell Jadon Sancho, Rasmus Hojlund and Alejandro Garnacho Manchester United began their Premier League campaign against Arsenal on Sunday – and while there were many new faces, the same old issues reared their head once more. Despite spending £200million on Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko, United failed to find the back of David Raya 's net. Meanwhile, their issues in between the posts continued, with Altay Bayindir at the centre of a debate on Monday after his error for Riccardo Calafiori's goal. Thankfully, there are still two weeks left of the summer transfer window for Ruben Amorim and his staff to address some of those issues. The problem for United is that they need to sell some of their unwanted players first before they can bring in more reinforcements. Unfortunately, there are many moving parts as they try to find new homes for the bomb squad players who have been exiled by Amorim. Here is the latest on those exits – and who could come in. Hojlund exit complicated Rasmus Hojlund was conspicuous through his absence on Sunday as we got a look at United's new-look forward line. Hojlund was left out of the squad entirely by Amorim and the club are now hoping to sell him before the window closes. They are willing to take a significant hit on the £72million they paid Atalanta a few years ago for his services. And yet things are not that simple, with AC Milan keen but not that keen. United want around £35m for the young Danish striker, but would also consider a loan at this late stage of the window. Milan, however, have Juventus ' Dusan Vlahovic as their top target, although those negotiations have reached a stalemate. Everything is up in the air, as Milan sporting director Igli Tare said: 'Hojlund is a good option for us. We are thinking about him, but in the transfer market, you never know what could happen.' Sancho and Garnacho delays Jadon Sancho is another player United are desperate to get rid of, but his £250,000-a-week wages are proving problematic. After moves to Juventus and Fenerbahce fell through, it is now the turn of Roma to get frustrated. The Italian club are threatening to pull out of a deal for the winger, despite agreeing a loan with an obligation to buy. Fabrizio Romano has reported that Sancho has informed Roma he is exploring other options. He has reportedly said no to Besiktas, where there would be a reunion with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and the situation looks set to run until the end of the window. Meanwhile, Alejandro Garnacho also remains a United player. Chelsea are keen on the winger, but need to first sell Christopher Nkunku to Bayern Munich. The German side have failed with a loan bid for Nkunku because the Blues want a permanent deal so they can sign either Garnacho or Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig. Utd urged to hijack Donnarumma deal Gianluigi Donnarumma has reportedly agreed terms with Manchester City and is now waiting for Ederson to move to Galatasaray. However, Bayindir's shocker on Sunday, and Andre Onana's general struggles at United, have raised the prospect of Donnarumma moving to a different part of Manchester. United enquired earlier in the summer about Donnarumma and Wayne Rooney believes they should try to hijack City's move. He said on his podcast: "Donnarumma, I think he's 26, he's one of the best goalkeepers in the world, it would be crazy if Man United don't go for him."

Italy's Mediobanca gets ECB approval for Banca Generali deal
MILAN, Aug 18 (Reuters) - Italy's merchant bank Mediobanca ( opens new tab received European Central Bank approval on Monday to buy private bank Banca Generali ( opens new tab and create Italy's second-largest wealth manager, as it seeks to thwart a takeover bid from Monte dei Paschi di Siena ( opens new tab. The ECB has also approved the acquisition of direct and indirect shareholdings that together amount to more than 10% of the Mediobanca Banking Group's consolidated own funds. The ECB's green light paves the way for merchant bank Mediobanca to launch its offer if it wins shareholder backing at a vote due on August 21. Mediobanca had originally scheduled the vote for June but had to push it back as the proposal lacked sufficient support. Meanwhile, state-backed Monte dei Paschi (MPS) is attempting to buy Mediobanca, amid a consolidation wave sweeping Italian banking. By cutting its MPS stake to below 12% from the 68% it acquired in a 2017 bailout, Rome has brought on board as leading MPS shareholders, Italy's billionaire Del Vecchio and Caltagirone families. To fend off the MPS bid, Mediobanca CEO Alberto Nagel, in April proposed buying Banca Generali, which is owned by Generali ( opens new tab, Italy's biggest insurer, whose key investors are Mediobanca, the Del Vecchios and the Caltagirones. Under Italian takeover rules, Mediobanca needs shareholder approval for the Banca Generali deal due to the MPS bid, which would become more costly if Mediobanca buys Banca Generali. Generali, which would acquire its own shares by tendering its 50.2% Banca Generali stake, said this month it was open to continue discussing the proposal.
