Transfer news LIVE: Man Utd close in on Matheus Cunha as Bruno Fernandes decision set to be made

So Bruno Fernandes may yet be Saudi Arabia-bound, and Mohamed Salah could have been, too. Richard Jolly reports on an intriguing revelation made by the Liverpool forward having committed his future to the club.

Bruno Fernandes has been sent a proposal by Al-Hilal and will reportedly have 72 hours to decide whether he accepts or not.

This is according to the Daily Mail, who say the offer sits at £700k-per-week for up to three years.

Al-Hilal are also said to have lodged a £100m bid to Manchester United directly.

Could Bruno Fernandes really be on the move? It seems these could be crucial days in determining the Manchester United captain’s future.

Richard Jolly had this to say on Aston Villa’s ‘underwhelming’ summer transfer window last year, and what changes could be afoot at Villa Park without Champions League money to fund their spending.

Villa surely face another juggling act in the transfer market. PSR remains a permanent consideration. Morgan Rogers’s dramatic improvement brings admirers.

Then there is the question of Ollie Watkins: fuming, in his own words, to be benched for both legs against Paris Saint-Germain despite being the only specialist striker owned by the club. Can relations be rebuilt? If not, Watkins will be hard to replace.

Cunha could be the first of a few through the door at Manchester United – but don’t expect a great glut of signings, Ruben Amorim has warned this week.

Yes, Matheus Cunha appears set to arrive at Old Trafford after Manchester United met the Wolves forward’s release clause last night. Richard Jolly has the full story:

The transfer window, though not yet officially open, rolls on today as the rumour mill churns to feed the insatiable desire of football fans begging for their club to invest yet more millions in an oft-misguided bid to improve their squad. And Manchester United appear to be closing in on a deal…

Ruben Amorim had this to say on United’s transfer plans for the summer, amid reports that the squad will be culled after their disastrous season and with no European fixtures for the upcoming campaign.

“Without the Champions League, we also don’t need a big squad,” he explained in Kuala Lumpur on their post-season tour.

“We can control the squad in a better way. Then we have a plan, that is to bring in some new players, but our big plan is to improve the team we have, to improve the academy. It’s a good opportunity to see the young players and sometimes we have surprises like Ayden [Heaven], who every time he has played, has proved that he’s a first-team player.”

Big news to round off the night!

According to PA, Manchester United have have been granted permission by Wolves to finalise a deal to sign Matheus Cunha.

Wolves were unwilling to negotiate on terms but United have now met the release clause, with the Brazil international set to undergo a medical.

Tottenham have been offered the chance to sign ex-Manchester City winger Leroy Sane, according to Sky Sports.

The German international is set to become a free agent next month when his contract expires at Bayern Munich.

Spurs are now a far more attractive prospect after qualifying for Champions League football through their Europa League triumph.
