Paul Pogba is “in the process” of leaving Man Utd, his agent Mino Raiola claims.
Raiola told The Times: "Everyone knows the willingness of Paul to move on. We are in the process of that.
“Everyone knows what the feelings of Paul are.
"Everyone within the club, from the manager to the owner, knows Paul's wishes."
16:15 UPDATE: Solskjaer hails signings
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has hailed Daniel James and Aaron Wan-Bissaka will fit right in at Man Utd.
"They've been great when I've spoken to them," Solskjaer said.
"It's about them coming in, being themselves and showing that they're here to take the places of the other players, which makes a competition for places, which will then spur their teammates, to be fair, to push their game.
"Obviously, Aaron has not joined us yet but Daniel has already set the marker and the standard on work-rate and attitude in training. Whoever you're going to speak to later on, if you ask about him then it's been a delight to see."
15:00 UPDATE: Ousmane Dembele latest
Jurgen Klopp has revealed whether he’ll be pursuing the transfer of Barcelona forward Ousmane Dembele this summer.
Dembele has been linked with a move to Anfield after a troubled few years in Barcelona.
But, Klopp won’t be banging on the owner’s door this summer for a larger transfer budget, because he’s happy with his squad.
The Reds spent £160m last summer, and after winning the Champions League, Klopp thinks his team only needs minor tweaks.
14:15 UPDATE: Nemanja Matic talks
Manchester United are set to receive an offer of £10million plus Radja Nainggolan from Inter Milan for Nemanja Matic, reports say.
Matic struggled last season as Manchester United finished sixth in the Premier League, costing them a place in next season’s Champions League in the process.
And ESPN claim that he is set to hold showdown talks with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer amid interest from Italy.
Inter are trying to land United star Romelu Lukaku, with Antonio Conte eager to make him his replacement for Mauro Icardi.
But now they want Matic too.
And the report claims that United will be offered money and Nainggolan in order to let their midfield lynchpin depart.
14:00 UPDATE: Mauro Icardi help
Mauro Icardi is open to joining Manchester United because of Carlos Tevez.
Icardi is facing an uncertain future at Inter Milan following the club’s decision to replace Luciano Spalletti with Antonio Conte.
That has led to talk that Icardi may move to Manchester United this summer, with the Red Devils likely to have to replace Lukaku.
And 90Min.com claim that the striker is open to moving to United, having seen compatriot Tevez flourish in England.
13:30 UPDATE: Spurs hijack
Spurs are close to sealing their third summer signing.
Jack Clarke and Tanguy Ndombele were snapped up from Leeds and Lyon respectively earlier this week.
And Spanish newspaper Mucho Deporte claim they’ve struck an agreement with Manchester United target Dani Olmo.
A transfer fee needs to be finalised between the two clubs but a €25m (£22m) deal is reportedly set to be agreed.
13:15 UPDATE: Paul Pogba on tour
Paul Pogba will join Manchester United for their pre-season tour of Australia.
The French midfielder sent shockwaves through Europe when admitting he would like to leave Old Trafford this summer.
And those comments have led to speculation that he’ll miss next week’s tour.
However, United are supposedly insistent that he will be back at the club this weekend after his holiday and will board the plane Down Under.
13:00 UPDATE: Kieran Tierney to Arsenal
Celtic defender Boli Bolingoli has spoken out on reports that he has joined the club to prepare for Kieran Tierney’s rumoured move to Arsenal.
The 24-year-old has joined the Glasgow giants on a four-year deal from Rapid Vienna after impressing during his two years in Austria.
That transfer has convinced both Celtic and Arsenal fans that a deal for Tierney to move below the border is close, but Bolingoli has refused to be drawn into the debate.
“I didn’t ask if Kieran was going to stay. I just came here to make history,” he said. “Whether he stays or not, it won’t change anything about the decision I took.”
12:45 UPDATE: Chelsea exit confirmed
Chelsea midfielder Charly Musonda has joined Vitesse on a season-long loan.
The 22-year-old spent last season with the Dutch outfit, where a serious knee injury limited him to just one 14-minute appearance.
But Vitesse have him back in their ranks again.
"I am very keen to show the real Charly Musonda," Musonda said. “Last season I had a lot of bad luck with the injury. I feel good again now and want to show that I can be of added value to Vitesse.”
12:30 UPDATE: Done Deal - Pereira signs
Andreas Pereira has signed a new contract with Manchester United.
The Brazilian midfielder, 23, will remain at Old Trafford until June 2023, with the option to extend for a further year.
Andreas Pereira said: “I have spent so long in Manchester that I now regard the city and the club as my home and I’m extremely happy to continue my career here. The manager has shown great faith in me and I can’t wait to get this campaign started under him.”
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer added: “Andreas has become an important member of the squad with his energy and hard work in midfield. He works non-stop every day in training, has a great character and knows what he has to do to continue his development here. We all look forward to working with him in the season ahead.”

12:00 UPDATE: Neymar passport issues
Barcelona have yet another obstacle blocking them from re-signing Neymar.
Even if they manage to overcome PSG’s reported £225million valuation of their unhappy Brazilian superstar - his arrival would take them over the limit for non-EU players.
Only three non-EU players are permitted and the Catalan giants already have Arthur, Arturo Vidal and Malcom on their books, according to Marca.
Neymar was previously in the process of changing his nationality to gain a Spanish passport - but his world-record move to PSG halted the process.
11:45 UPDATE: £53m…
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been handed a transfer boost over Bruno Fernandes.
Portuguese paper JN report the Nations League winner could be available for £53million.
That’s despite Fernandes having a £90m release clause in his contract.
The 24-year-old reported back to Sporting for pre-season training yesterday but it appears his days at the club could be numbered.
11:30 UPDATE: Salomon Rondon to West Ham
West Ham are set to launch another bid for West Brom striker Salomon Rondon, according to reports.
The Hammers are preparing to lose Marko Arnautovic who is closing in on a move to China and the Mirror claim they will turn to Rondon to replace him.
They are said to have had a £10million player-plus-cash deal turned down already but he could be available for around £12m.
Newcastle are also understood to be interested in taking him back to St James’ Park but the uncertainty currently surrounding the manager-less club means the Hammers could steal a march over them.
11:15 UPDATE: Marcelo interest
Unai Emery is interested in a shock bid for Real Madrid left-back Marcelo during the summer transfer window, it’s been claimed.
Arsenal are currently looking for a left-back, and Emery is tempted to make a shock bid for Marcelo.
The Brazil international has asked to leave Real Madrid after being relegated to the bench for part of the La Liga season.
If Arsenal want to sign Marcelo, they’ll have to act fast, as he’s also drawing the attention of Juventus and AC Milan, according to Sport.
11:00 UPDATE: Carney retires
Karen Carney's glittering career will come to an end after England's World Cup play-off on Saturday.
The 31-year-old midfielder announced on the eve of the Lionesses' third-place match with Sweden that she was calling time on her playing days.
Carney, a winner of 143 England caps, says the time is right to do something else.
"I am incredibly proud to have achieved so much in the game but now is definitely the right time to retire," she said.
10:45 UPDATE: Clear path to Harry Maguire
Manchester United have a clear path to sign Harry Maguire.
And that’s because Manchester City are no longer interested in pursuing the England centre-back.
Pep Guardiola’s side aren’t prepared to match Leicester’s £90million valuation.
Maguire is interested in a move to Old Trafford, but reports claim he won’t agitate for a move to Old Trafford this summer.
10:30 UPDATE: Antoine Griezmann threat
Atletico Madrid have warned Barcelona that there will be consequences if the Catalans agreed a pre-contract transfer with Antoine Griezmann before his release clause was lowered in July.
The clubs have agreed that Barcelona will pay the release clause of £107m (€120m) deal for the France international, after it dropped from £180m (€200m) at the start of July.
But after claims that Barcelona approached Griezmann over a pre-contract agreement in March, Atletico have fired a major warning to the Catalans.
“The truth is I don’t know,” said Atletico president Enrique Cerezo. “But if it is as you say, and he had already signed, then there will be consequences.”
10:15 UPDATE: Jose Mourinho return
Jose Mourinho has opened up on his future.
The Portuguese tactician has been out of work since leaving Manchester United in December 2018 - but he’s revealed a return to Serie A is a real possibility.
“In the future? Always soccer, and always a high level. Italy? Could be a possibility,” Mourinho told Sky Sport Italia.
10:00 UPDATE: Lucas Vazquez talks
Arsenal have held talks with Real Madrid over signing winger Lucas Vazquez, according to reports in Spain.
The 28-year-old is available for around £30million and Spanish publication AS say a deal could be wrapped up as early as next week if the Gunners are willing to meet his valuation.
Having spent around £190m already this summer, Real are looking to recoup some cash through player sales while Gunners boss Unai Emery is desperate to bring in a new man to play out wide.
The reports from AS says the nine-cap Spain international is keen on the move but Arsenal could also face competition from Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich and Inter Milan.
09:45 UPDATE: Walter Kannemann interest
Arsenal have contacted Brazilian side Gremio over the availability of centre-back Walter Kannemann.
That’s according to the Mirror who claim Unai Emery is targeting a bargain swoop for the Argentina international.
Kannemann, 28, is available for just £12million.
However, Kannemann's agent Martin Wainbuch revealed this week that Wolves have already made an enquiry.
09:30 UPDATE: Nou Camp to Elland Road
Leeds signing Rafa Mujica has discussed why he left Barcelona to join Marcelo Bielsa at Elland Road.
The 20-year-old forward featured 33 times for Barcelona’s B team last season, scoring seven times and has been snapped up by the Championship outfit.
“My dream was always to make the jump to English football,” Mujica said.
“It is a great challenge and a pride to be linked to a big and historic club like Leeds, in addition to being able to work under the orders of a prestigious technician like Bielsa.”
09:15 UPDATE: Done Deal - Derby hire Phillip Cocu

Cocu, 48, has signed a four-year contract and will be joined by assistant manager Chris Van Der Weerden and specialist first-team coach Twan Scheepers.
Derby's head goalkeeping coach Shay Given will remain as part of the new-look coaching team.
"I am pleased and honoured to confirm that Derby County will be my new club and can't wait to meet with the team and the fans to start this adventure together," Cocu told the official club website.

Sporting Lisbon will decide on the future of Bruno Fernandes in the next couple of days.
Manchester United are leading the battle to sign the Portuguese midfielder, who is claimed to have agreed personal terms with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side.
But there’s a deadline.
Portuguese newspaper Correio de Manha claim Sporting will decide before Sunday July 7 what to do with Fernandes.
It’s said Sporting president Frederico Varandas wants the player's future resolved before the club travel to Switzerland over the weekend for pre-season preparations.
08:45 UPDATE: Joao Cancelo interest
Barcelona could challenge Manchester City for Joao Cancelo.
Pep Guardiola’s side are pursuing the Juventus full-back, who would cost upwards of £54million.
But the Premier League champions have company.

08:15 UPDATE: Ander Herrera departure
Manchester United allowed midfielder Ander Herrera to leave because of his exorbitant wage demands.
That’s according to Goal, who claim the Spanish star demanded a new contract worth £18million annually to remain at Old Trafford.
Herrera, 29, officially joined French champions PSG on a free transfer yesterday - signing a long-term deal with a £350,000 per-week salary.
"Paris St Germain are the greatest club in France. They keep on improving and compete to win every possible title. I was looking forward to coming to Paris and wearing the colours,” Herrera said after putting pen to paper at the Parc des Princes.

The report also states, though, that no clubs have come in for Umtiti yet.
07:30 UPDATE: Call Matthijs de Ligt!
Manchester United have been told that it’s worth contacting Mino Raiola one more time about Matthijs de Ligt, before making their final decision over a transfer for Harry Maguire.
“One point I would make was that if I was at Manchester United now, I would be seeing what was happening with Matthijs de Ligt,” journalist Kaveh Solhekol told Sky Sports News Transfer Centre. “If I’d offered £70million for Maguire who is 26, De Ligt is seven years younger.
“He’s 19 years old and looks like he could be going to Juventus for something like £50m or £60m.
“I know United have been in for De Ligt before, but is it worth having just one more go? Just picking up the phone and ringing Mino Raiola again.”
22:30 UPDATE: Rodri trolls Man Utd
New Man City signing Rodri may have already fast-tracked his way to cult hero status at the Etihad Stadium, by poking fun at Man Utd.
"City this last five, six years has changed the story of football not only in Manchester but England,” he said.
"I don’t look for the club, I look for the challenge of the sport. That’s why I moved here.
"I love the City, I love Manchester. I talked to some guys and it is becoming more blue."
21:45 UPDATE: Man Utd back in for De Ligt?

“If I’d offered £70million for Maguire who is 26, De Ligt is seven years younger.
“He’s 19 years old and looks like he could be going to Juventus for something like £50m or £60m.
“I know United have been in for De Ligt before, but is it worth having just one more go?
“Just picking up the phone and ringing Mino Raiola again.”
20:45 UPDATE: Tottenham bid
Tottenham have moved quickly to make their third signing of the summer.
According to The Sun, Mauricio Pochettino has tabled a bid for Leyton Orient youngster Dan Happe.
They claim the 20-year-old is also on the radar of Leicester City, Leeds and Norwich City and that Spurs have had a £300,000 offer for the centre-back rejected.
Happe played a key role in Orient returning to the Football League last season, so much so the Londoners are demanding a higher fee for his services.

The Daily Mail claim discussions are already underway with the Brazilian, who has one year left on his current deal.
The report adds that David de Gea, Axel Tuanzebe and goalkeeper Dean Henderson have also been offered fresh contracts.

Liverpool will not sell Divock Origi this summer.
That’s according to James Pearce of the Liverpool Echo, who says Jurgen Klopp wants to keep Origi at Anfield regardless of his contract situation.

But he’s staying put and Liverpool hope contract negotiations to extend his stay will be successful.
17:20 UPDATE: Leeds signings

The 20-year-old, who will initially link up with the club's under-23 side, is Leeds' fifth signing of the summer.

17:15 UPDATE: Big budget for Rafa replacement
Newcastle will give their new manager a £100million transfer budget as they look to re-invest money generated by player sales, according to reports.
Attacker Ayoze Perez joined Leicester in a shock £30m deal while midfielder Isaac Hayden wants to leave St James’ Park and could fetch between £10m-£15m.
And the Daily Star claim that means whoever comes into replace Rafa Benitez following his exit last week will be handed significant funds to replace them and further strengthen the squad.
Owner Mike Ashley and director Lee Charnley had already promised a budget of £60m before any players were sold and that any cash raised would be pumped straight back into the squad.
17:00 UPDATE: Dejan Lovren staying out
Jurgen Klopp has decided not to sell Dejan Lovren this summer, according to reports.
Defender Lovren, 29, has been heavily linked with a switch to AC Milan but Sky Sports say an approach is yet to be made and that they have no plans to sell.
Lovren was firmly behind Virgil van Dijk and Joel Matip in the Liverpool pecking order last season and made only 11 Premier League starts.
But selling the Croatian would leave Liverpool needing to replace him and Klopp has already said he does not expect to be busy in the summer transfer window.
16:45 UPDATE: Kieran Tierney transfer boost
Arsenal have been handed a boost in their pursuit of Celtic defender Kieran Tierney.
Unai Emery wants the left-back at the Emirates Stadium next season but Napoli are believed to be showing interest.
However, CalcioNapoli24 report that an insider has revealed Tierney is more likely to join the Gunners than move to Serie A this summer.
But the same source also confirmed Napoli's interest was genuine and talks have been held.
16:30 UPDATE: Barca would LOVE Neymar return
The Barcelona dressing room and the club’s supporters would be thrilled to see Neymar return.
That’s according to new Celta Vigo signing and former Barcelona midfielder Denis Suarez.
Suarez, who spent a miserable six-months at Arsenal, also thinks Neymar made the wrong decision to leave the Nou Camp in 2017.
“For me it was a wrong decision he made, but I think that the dressing room and all the fans, in my opinion, would be delighted with his return, he is a great player and he has to go back to Barcelona.”
16:15 UPDATE: New deal for Mount
Chelsea have opened talks with England Under-21 midfielder Mason Mount over a new contract at Stamford Bridge.
Mount, 20, impressed on loan with Derby last season - netting 11 goals and providing six assists in 44 appearances.
And now, with Frank Lampard at the helm, Mount will receive a new long-term deal.
Goal claim talks have already begun despite Mount on holiday after England’s disastrous Under-21 European Championships campaign.
16:00 UPDATE: Saul Niguez to replace Paul Pogba
Manchester United have anointed Saul Niguez as Paul Pogba’s replacement, according to Spanish publication AS.
The Madrid-based newspaper claims Old Trafford chiefs and Solskjaer have settled on Saul as their No 1 central midfield target and have already contacted Los Rojiblancos over a deal.
It will be a tough negotiating process, though, with the Wanda Metropolitano club already losing Diego Godin, Juanfran, Filipe Luís, Lucas Hernandez and Rodri, with Antoine Griezmann also expected to depart after £113m signing Joao Felix took the No 7 shirt.
Saul, 24, signed a stunning nine-year contract in July 2017, pinning him to the club until 2026.
15:45 UPDATE: Done Deal - Buffon returns
Former Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon has rejoined Juventus.
The 41-year-old, who spent 17 years with the Italian club before leaving for PSG last summer, has signed a one-year contract.
He underwent a medical in Turin on Thursday morning.

15:30 UPDATE: Juventus offer three
Manchester United have been offered one of three Juventus players in exchange for Paul Pogba.
That’s according to Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport, who claim Juventus are prepared to swap either Alex Sandro, Blaise Matuidi or Paulo Dybala for the French international.
The Serie A champions have already done good business this summer with Adrien Rabiot and Aaron Ramsey both added to their ranks on free transfers.
But the return of Pogba is high on their list of priorities and the player himself has already admitted he’s keen on leaving Old Trafford.
15:15 UPDATE: Man Utd plan £75m bids
Manchester United will accelerate deals for Bruno Fernandes and Sean Longstaff this week.
Daniel James and Aaron Wan-Bissaka are already through the door for a combined £65million - but the spending doesn’t stop there.
The Manchester Evening News claim Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants Newcastle’s Longstaff, 21, signed before their pre-season tour starts next week.
A fee in the region of £25million could be enough to convince Mike Ashley to sell.
Meanwhile The Sun say Fernandes’ agent is set for talks with Ed Woodward, who believes he can barter Sporting Lisbon down from £62m to £50m.
15:00 UPDATE: Matthijs de Ligt twist
Barcelona are back in with a chance of signing Ajax defender Matthijs de Ligt.
That’s according to Marca, who claim Juventus have been unable to agree a transfer fee with Eredivisie champions.
Marca claim Barcelona agreed a deal worth £67million plus performance-related add-ons - but couldn’t agree personal terms with the 19-year-old.
Juventus have the opposite problem. They have agreed personal terms with De Ligt but can’t agree a fee having offered £58m plus £9m in add-ons.
As a result, Barcelona could still bring De Ligt to the Nou Camp.
14:45 UPDATE: Arsenal deal agreed
Nacho Monreal has signed a new one-year deal with Arsenal.
That’s according to the Sun who claim the 33-year-old will remain at the Emirates Stadium until June 2020.
Rumours had been circulating that the Spanish full-back was heading back to Spain but a seventh season in north London looks sorted.
Arsenal have yet to officially announce the deal but it is expected in the next few days.
