Man Utd news LIVE: Erik ten Hag ‘U-TURN’ as Ineos review continues, Chalobah chase, Greenwood ‘trade deal’

Man Utd eyeing Chelsea defender Chalobah

Manchester United are weighing up a bid for Chelsea star Trevoh Chalobah, according to reports.

The Blues are willing to sell the centre-back this summer to help balance the books to comply with the Profit and Sustainability Rules.

Chalobah, 24, came through Chelsea’s academy and is therefore considered a homegrown player.

And any cash brought in by selling it will count as 100% profit, with the latest PSR cap on June 30.

Chelsea could be forced to sell either Chalobah or Conor Gallagher to avoid breaking the rules, which could lead to a possible points deduction as punishment.

The West London club want £25 million for the defender, according to The Independent.

More on Rooney on Scholes injuring him in training

Wayne Rooney has revealed that Paul Scholes injured him in training on the day Sir Alex Ferguson announced he wanted to leave Manchester United.

Rooney, now 38, caused shock waves by initially refusing to sign a new deal amid shock interest from Manchester City in 2010.

United’s star striker missed the Champions League clash with Bursaspor the following day, with the club citing a “knock” at the training ground.

Rooney has now lifted the lid on what really happened during that session.

He told Gary Neville on Sky Bet’s The Overlap: “You wanted to win their games (Friday practice games), some of the tackles that were scored were awful, he (Sir Alex Ferguson) used to stop the game and make us enter.

“Scholesy took me out for eight weeks the day before the game. It was the day the gaffer did his press conference that I wanted to leave, so I’m sure the gaffer had a word with him before training. No , I’m kidding.”

He then added: “When the manager knew I wasn’t fit to play, he went and did the press conference.”

Rooney reveals the moment he “lost it” at Man Utd

Former Manchester United star Wayne Rooney has opened up about the moment he “lost it” with a trainer and was hauled into Sir Alex Ferguson’s office.

The 38-year-old, who is the Red Devils’ top scorer with 253 goals, spoke on Gary Neville’s ‘The Overlap’ podcast about his time at Old Trafford.

He told his former team-mate that a disagreement with Rene Meulensteen was so volatile that he was sent to Sir Alex Ferguson’s office.

Speaking about the episode, which was uploaded to YouTube on May 30, he said: “I wanted to win so badly that it would sometimes fall over (in training).

“(On challenging players and coaches) There are times when it goes too far and when you look back at some of the things I said to the coaches on the training ground, looking back and being on that side now, you hope that a player does. I do not do that.

“There were some bad (occasions). There was one with Rene (Meulensteen) where I went a lot for him and the manager pulled me into his office after the session.

“It was related to a decision of the referee. There were a few people watching the training, it was Rene’s wife and children – I had no idea and I felt so bad.”

Man Utd don’t need Frimpong – Leverkusen’s Yorke

Manchester United legend Dwight Yorke has urged his former club not to sign Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen if they keep Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

Speaking to offshore poker sites, he said: “If Jeremie Frimpong is a bit fragile defensively then he will be bought for a certain system by the manager.

“Nowadays full-backs play much higher up the pitch and can play in all kinds of systems, but I don’t know how Erik ten Hag wants to play. Man United already have a good right back in Aaron Wan-Bissaka but you can say he is the opposite of Frimpong, great defensively but not so great up front.

“When we attack, we should let Wan Bissaka sit back and provide more defensive protection by playing one-on-one on the wing. But instead he’s told to bomb the wing and try to tackle a player, which he can’t do.

“Erik ten Hag should take the attacking duties from Wan-Bissaka and make him defend, then they can have some solidarity in defence. Instead, Wan-Bissaka, who doesn’t score or create, runs like a headless chicken in the opposition. boxing, running into the path of his teammates.

“It’s not rocket science, chasing that is crazy. The only thing you need on defense is to be able to defend one-on-one. Just let him defend.”

Fans are looking at a breakout season for young Collyer

Fans are predicting a “breakthrough” campaign for a Manchester United youngster who is highly rated by Erik ten Hag.

The Dutchman is still in limbo over his future at Old Trafford as he waits to see if Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Ineos snap him up.

Ten Hag had a famous moment with Mainoo, who was still a relative unknown, after the League Cup win against Newcastle in February 2023.

Now fans are convinced he has chosen Toby Collyer as his ‘next Mainoo’ after he was seen deep in conversation with the ace during the celebrations at Wembley last week.

The Ten Hag went straight to the 20-year-old, who had traveled with the team as a reserve man, and hugged him on the pitch.

The boss waved to fans as he spoke into Collyer’s ear in scenes reminiscent of the one with Mainoo.

The Telegraph report that the defensive midfielder “is viewed as a player with first-team potential” by the manager.
