Latest EXCLUSIVE Greenwood, £34m Joshua Zirkzee MEDICAL, Van Nistelrooy JOINS staff

Man Utd agree with Zirkzee

Manchester United have agreed to sign Bologna striker Joshua Zirkzee for just over £35million, according to reports.

The Red Devils are understood to have triggered his £33.6m release clause and will pay the transfer fee over a three-year period.

This report comes from Sky Sports, who also state that Zirkzee will undergo a medical this week.

He is set to sign a five-year deal at Old Trafford.

Will Southgate remain England boss?

The FA will try to convince Gareth Southgate to stay on as England manager after Euro 2024 – even if he doesn’t take home the trophy.

England booked their place in the European Championship final with a 2-1 win over the Netherlands on Wednesday.

According to The Times, the FA are desperate to keep him on board regardless of the outcome of Sunday’s final against Spain.

Southgate, who has been linked with the Manchester United job, is under contract with England until December but FA chief executive Mark Bullingham plans to hold further talks with him at the end of Euro 2024.

Any new deal would take him to the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico – which would mark his 10th year in office.

It has previously been suggested that Southgate could step down after this summer’s tournament.

Man Utd transfer targets

Erik ten Hag has been given the green light to stay on as Manchester United boss and will now be keen to strengthen his squad this summer to give himself the best chance of success next season.

But who are the Red Devils interested in? Watch SunSport’s video below as we look at their main targets.

The ball in the Red Devils comes into court for the Bat

Manchester United are reportedly closing in on a second season loan deal for Sofyan Amrabat.

TEAMtalk says United’s new sporting director Dan Ashworth has the midfield as one of his transfer priorities.

PSG anchorman Manuel Ugarte remains a serious option.

But with manager Erik ten Hag a fan of Fiorentina’s Amrabat, Ashworth is prepared to consider trying a new deal for the Moroccan.

United had an option to buy Amrabat for £21.4m.

The Red Devils are understood to have ruled out activating that.

Fiorentina have given United until July 21 to complete any new loan deal.
