Man Utd transfer news LIVE: Maguire development, Fernandes twist, Milinkovic-Savic update

Nicolas Pepe decision

Man Utd are focused on securing deal for Harry Maguire and Sean Longstaff with the club not putting an offer in for Nicolas Pepe.

United were reportedly interested in Lille star Pepe, though the Ligue 1 club set an asking price of €80million (£71.6m).

And the Evening Standard claim that United will put their full attention on securing deals for Maguire and Longstaff.

United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is keen to keep spending this summer

Harry Maguire demand

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has told Ed Woodward to sign Harry Maguire immediately.

Manchester United have been tipped to sign the Leicester star this summer, however, the Foxes’ £80m valuation is a sticking point.

However, Sky Sports say Solskjaer has told Woodward to pay up and land Maguire.

United need a new centre-back after Eric Bailly was taken off on a stretcher during their pre-season clash with Tottenham.

Bruno Fernandes twist

Man Utd are unlikely to sign Sporting Lisbon midfielder Bruno Fernandes.

Sky Sports say Fernandes is not one of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s top priorities this summer.

United have been tipped to land the Portugal international, who could replace Paul Pogba at Old Trafford.

However, Solskjaer is fully focused on landing Harry Maguire, meaning a move for Fernandes is unlikely.

Sergej Milinkovic-Savic exclusive

Man Utd are not in for Lazio star Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.

Express Sport has been told by sources close to the club that United have no interest in landing the midfielder, despite reports claiming otherwise.

It has been claimed the player is on the cusp of signing a five-year contract with United.

United are still expected to bolster their ranks in midfield but Milinkovic-Savic is not in their sights.
