Man Utd transfer news LIVE: Donnarumma BIDDING war, Red Devils eye Watkins and Sesko, £35m bid for Hjulmand ‘REJECTED'
MANCHESTER UNITED are in for an absolutely massive summer of transfer business at Old Trafford! And the club are weighing up moves for either Aston Villa striker Watkins or Leipzig's Slovenian front man Benjamin Sesko as Ruben Amorim looks to bolster his striking options. Meanwhile, Man Utd have completed the signing of talented youngster Harley Emsden James from Southampton.

In other news, United are keeping tabs on PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. 28 minutes ago By Henry Tomlinson United's Sesko advantage Stuart Pearce has insisted that Manchester United have an advantage over Newcastle in the race to sign Benjamin Sesko. The former England star suggested that footballers are more likely to live in the likes of Manchester and London than Newcastle. A lot of players want to be near the big cities. They want to be near Manchester, they want to be in London, and their families want to be there. You're fighting, geographically, if you are up in Newcastle, and that's just the nature of a footballer's mentality, I'm afraid. They might be drawn to whether they have friends at other clubs as well, or friends of their wives and families are a big part of that. Stuart PearceMEN Today, 09:07 By James Orr Donnarumma latest Manchester United will not get involved in a bidding war for Gianluigi Donnarumma.

The pair used to share a changing room during their time at Brentford. He said: "Ollie is a complete striker. 'He can do a lot of things. He can drop to be available or go in behind. 'And that is really good for me as a winger because you can use his space to fit in there. "Plus he can combine as well. It's really good.' 29th Jul 2025, 20:20 By Martin Lipton Sancho exit route Borussia Dortmund are set to offer Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho the chance of a THIRD spell at the club. Former England winger Sancho, 25, has been told he has no Old Trafford future under Ruben Amorim and was of the four 'Bomb Squad' members left behind when United flew out to Chicago last week. United are desperate to offload the £73m signing, who has a year left on his United contract, before the transfer window shuts. Italian giants Juventus have appeared the most likely destination in recent weeks, while Serie A champions Napoli have also stepped up their interest.

"I found that really over the top and very disrespectful. I said: 'We're stopping.' They thought it was a strategy to get more [money]. "But no, it was a matter of principle, not money.
