FC Barcelona Make Loan Offer To Manchester United For Marcus Rashford: Report
FC Barcelona are in advanced stages of completing the signing of England forward Marcus Rashford on loan. Barcelona, who have actively been scouring the transfer market for a left forward, have made an offer to bring Rashford on board for the 2025-26 season, with a proposal that includes an option to buy. The player is keen on the move, as reported by The Athletic. Barca had agreed on personal terms with Nico Williams before the Spain international opted instead to stay at Athletic Club and sign a new contract until 2035. Rashford had made 15 Premier League appearances for Man Utd in the 2024/25 season and also scored in head coach Ruben Amorim's first match, a 1-1 draw at Ipswich Town on 24 November, before adding two more in a 4-0 win over Everton a week later. He had not played since being left out of the squad for the Manchester derby on December 15, after a falling out with the Portuguese head coach, before signing for Aston Villa on loan in February, where he went on to score four goals in 17 appearances before a hamstring injury forced him to end his season in April. Manchester United are struggling in the transfer market, given they need to clean house before looking to spend big. With players like Antony, Jadon Sancho, Rashford, and Alejandro Garnacho having made it clear they want to leave Old Trafford this summer, the England forward's loan may provide the solution. Rashford's potential move also comes a day after, The Athletic reported that the Red Devils have agreed to sign Brentford's Bryan Mbuemo in a deal worth up to 71 million Pounds has finally been struck between the two parties. The Cameroonian is expected to complete his medical on the weekend before his announcement can be made official.

Manchester United reportedly agree to sign Brentford winger Bryan Mbeumo
Cameroonian winger Mbeumo had attracted the attention of Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim, who is eyeing an overhaul of his team's misfiring attack after a woeful 2024-25 run, with 20 goals in 38 Premier League games for Brentford last season. read more Manchester United have reportedly agreed to sign Cameroon winger Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford in a deal worth an initial £65 million ($87 million) as Ruben Amorim steps up his overhaul of the team's misfiring attack. Mbeumo attracted Amorim's attention with 20 goals in 38 Premier League games for Brentford last season. Tottenham, now managed by former Brentford boss Thomas Frank, were also chasing the 25-year-old before United's improved offer sealed the deal after their two previous bids were rebuffed. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD United will pay an additional £6 million in potential add-ons to Brentford. Mbeumo is due to undergo a medical in time to travel to the United States on Tuesday as Amorim's men start their pre-season tour. More from Football He is set to become United's third signing since the end of last season, joining Wolves forward Matheus Cunha and teenage Paraguayan defender Diego Leon at Old Trafford. Amorim has been determined to revamp United's forward options after a woeful campaign. They suffered a toothless 1-0 defeat against Tottenham in the Europa League final and a 15th-place finish in the top flight that ranked as their lowest since 1973-74. Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee struggled as Amorim's main strikers last term. Amorim has reportedly told Alejandro Garnacho to look for a new club, while Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho are expected to leave following their loan spells at Aston Villa and Chelsea respectively. Mbeumo will be Amorim's latest new recruit in his bid to revitalise moribund United. Having already paid £62.5 million for Cunha, United's spending spree comes despite their failure to qualify for the Champions League costing the club a minimum of £70 million. The versatile Mbeumo is able to operate in a variety of roles on the flanks or in central attacking areas. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD His pace, creativity and clinical finishing should be a significant boost to United. Mbeumo blossomed in six years at Brentford, scoring 70 goals and providing 51 assists in 242 appearances in all competitions following his move from French club Troyes in 2019. He helped the Bees win promotion to the Premier League in 2021 and was instrumental in their impressive 10th-place finish in 2024-25.

Man Utd 'step up interest' in £17m goalkeeper after Andre Onana ruled out of pre-season
Manchester United are being forced into the market due to an injury to Andre Onana, which will rule him out of pre-season, with Royal Antwerp goalkeeper Senne Lammens on their radar Manchester United are ready to ramp up their interest in Royal Antwerp goalkeeper Senne Lammens as they make plans after it was confirmed that No 1 Andre Onana will be ruled out for weeks with a hamstring injury. Antwerp have slapped a £17million price tag on the Belgian star amid interest from the Premier League giants. Onana's injury means he will miss the entirety of pre-season and he is in a race against time to feature in the season opener against Arsenal. United had been linked with a change in between the sticks as Onana continues to struggle for consistency. Ever since joining from Inter Milan for an initial fee of £44million in 2023, he's been error-prone with several of his mistakes leading directly to goals. There was talk of the club scouring the market for a new No 1 but the fitness issues with Onana mean that Ruben Amorim has little choice but to go after another goalkeeper and talkSPORT reports they are ready to pursue Lammens. The goalkeeper himself admits he was overawed when he learnt of the interest from the Manchester side but believes the way he plays would suit English football. "The first time I heard I thought, 'Wow'," he said. "Immediately a world [renowned] team that follows you. That is special. Of course, I was also spoken to about it a lot and when I made a save in training, it was United this, United that [from colleagues]… It's only positive. "Especially because it's the best competition in the world and my profile, my stature and way of playing, is similar to English football. You have to physically hold your own there and that suits me." It has been reported previously that United would be willing to take a £20m hit on Onana to ensure he gets a move away. The Cameroonian goalkeeper sees his future up in the air following a tricky couple of campaigns at Old Trafford. AS Monaco and Saudi clubs have shown tentative interest but neither would be able to match United's demands. Onana himself has no desire to quit the club and wants to prove that he can cut it. Nevertheless Red Devils chiefs would be willing to sell him for around £30m in an effort to get him off the wage bill if the opportunity arose. Amorim dropped Onana for a game last term at Newcastle, which came just days after a poor display at Lyon.

Four-star defensive lineman Valdin Sone announces commitment
Georgia has earned a commit from another elite defensive lineman. Four-star DL Valdin Sone committed to the Georgia Bulldogs over Florida Gators, Nebraska Cornhuskers and Auburn Tigers.

Sone marks Georgia seventh defensive lineman commit and 30th overall commit in Georgia's class of 2026. He joins a defensive line room with four-star PJ Dean and three-stars Corey Howard, Carter Luckie, Preston Carey, and Seven Cloud. Sone is the highest ranked among them as he is the No. 4 defensive line prospect and No. 46 overall prospect in the class of 2026. Sone is Georgia's fifth commit from the month of July. The Bulldogs are continuing the massive hot streak they had from middle-late June, but Georgia has had four recruits in a six-day span. They have the No. 2 recruiting class of 2026 in the nation, just behind USC.
