<\/a>Man United could target new left-back before deadline and Rashford set to be reintegrated<\/p>\n

\u201cLeft-back is being looked at, that\u2019s why they enquired about Myles Lewis-Skelly, the price quoted was too high,\u201d The Athletic\u2019s David Ornstein tells TNT Sports.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf a reasonable deal becomes available, they\u2019ll do it, but I think they won\u2019t have many more big names. <\/p>\n

\u201cIf it\u2019s England, it\u2019s Man Utd, a Barcelona, Bayern, PSG… He\u2019d have looked at that, the No 9 shirt is a show of faith.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a>Owen Hargreaves bullish on Man Utd’s business this summer<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s very good, a 7\/10, I think they could do with another body as a striker. I think the potential is there, they’re building something special. In terms of discipline in the market, the squad depth now, every position, there are good players available.<\/p>\n

\u201cFive good centre-backs for two positions. There\u2019s depth everywhere. Maybe Sesko will be great, but you could do with one, an Osimhen type, but other than that, good.\u201d<\/p>\n

In conversation with TNT Sports, Ornstein states that if the numbers aren’t right, and Brighton want more than \u00a370m, despite a \u00a360m offer rejected, then Liverpool have another target they could pivot to.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Brighton target Minteh replacement?<\/p>\n

Brighton have been linked with Spanish winger Yeremay Hernandez, reports Marca<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Deportivo La Coru\u00f1a star scored 11 goals last term in the Segunda Division. <\/p>\n

He\u2019s also been part of Spain\u2019s Under-21s. <\/p>\n

With Yankuba Minteh linked with Liverpool and two bids rejected, with Brighton after upwards of \u00a370m, Hernandez could unlock the Gambian\u2019s move to Anfield.<\/p>\n

Aston Villa are looking into a move for free agent and Germany international Leon Goretzka, reports The Athletic<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Goretzka left Bayern Munich at the end of last season and could prove to be a cheap fix with Amadou Onana out long-term with an Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury. <\/p>\n

Villa did have talks with Bayern over a loan with an option for Joao Palhinha, the report adds.<\/p>\n

Aston Villa<\/a> boss Unai Emery has conceded that Ollie Watkins may become the latest high-profile departure from Villa Park this summer, while confirming that goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez has requested a transfer.<\/p>\n

Although Villa turned down four separate offers<\/a> from Saudi Pro League outfit Al Hilal for Watkins this week, Emery refused to rule out a potential exit for the England forward, who could join Morgan Rogers, Lucas Digne and Youri Tielemans in departing the club.<\/p>\n

With Ezri Konsa\u2019s transfer to Arsenal confirmed on Friday afternoon, Emery acknowledged an “issue” regarding Watkins, noting that a sale remains possible if the financial conditions are suitable.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Arsenal explore move for Kenan Yildiz after missing out on Vinicius Jr<\/p>\n

Arteta has long identified the left side attack as a priority position to upgrade, with Real Madrid’s Vinicius Jr<\/a> having been the ideal target. The Brazilian’s decision to stay at the Bernabeu <\/a>caused Arsenal to reconsider the situation, and some thought has been given to waiting until either January or next summer when other deals could become possible.<\/p>\n
