Transfer News Roundup

Wasn’t much news yesterday other than Sky reporting that Ryan Giggs is leaving so no point summarising it.

David De Gea affirms that he will be staying at Man Utd for the foreseeable future according to quotes obtained by Marca.

• "Talk about Jose Mourinho and you're talking about a winner," De Gea told MARCA."

• "Winning is United's, Jose's and my philosophy."

• "We can make a great team and I welcome him."

• ""I've got three more years on my contract with United and the desire to win more titles here.""

• "When it comes to United, if you don't win everything, it's not good enough,"

• "This FA Cup is important for the club, it's important for the fans, and it's an important step towards winning major titles again."

If true, looks like Dave is staying!

The Sun claim that we have made a £60m bid for Paul Pogba, but let's be honest, it's the Sun. The Independent also reporting this, but they state the Sun is their source.

Le 10 Sport claim that we have enquired about Laurent Koscielny. However, this enquiry was laughed off by both club and player.

The Metro say we are interested in bringing Miralem Pjanic to Old Trafford. Manchester Evening News corroborates this and adds that we are looking to sign a right midfielder, a centre forward, a central midfielder and a centre-back.

The Daily Mail report that we are plotting a move for £20m rated Bordeaux wonderkid Adam Ounas, corroborating claims by the Mirror 2 days ago. This is partly due to the fact we were not able to sign Ousmane Dembele, who ended up going to Dortmund.

Squawka did a nice roundup on him if you would like to know more.

Not strictly transfer news but FootyHeadlines have leaked our home kit for next year.

Sky Sports seem to be convinced we are signing Zlatan Ibrahimovic. 1 year deal to be completed before the Euros start. Di Marzio also corroborates.

In an earlier report, they also claimed we turned down Leicester's Jamie Vardy as Jose only wants to sign one striker so as not to hinder the development of Rashford.

• "[Mourinho] also believes Marcus Rashford can have a huge impact at Old Trafford next season, with Mourinho determined to continue United's legacy of bringing through their young talent."

In a slightly dubious report, the Daily Mail believe we have made two approaches in the last 3 weeks to sign Lionel Messi. The Argentinian is said to be unsettled in Spain after the furore over the tax scandal, with any potential move being dependent on United returning to the Champions League under Jose Mourinho in 2017-18.
