Man United transfer news LIVE: '£84m' asking price emerges, Marcus Rashford talk, Ederson eyed

The Sun claims Manchester United want to sign three central midfielder this summer, a left-back and a back up striker following their return to the Champions League.

They say a new goalkeeper could also move to Old Trafford this summer, to act as understudy for Senne Lammens.

Elliot Anderson, Carlos Baleba, Sandro Tonal and Adam Wharton are all admired by the United transfer chiefs, while the report claims the club have held informal talks with Wolves star Joao Gomes.

Mateus Fernandes is also on the list of prospective targets given Jason Wilcox's admiration for the midfielder following his time as director of football at Southampton.

In a refreshing change of pace, Manchester United are the epitome of calm as we head into the final stretch. The season started with the drama of Ruben Amorim where each press conference seemed to have a standout moment. But it is set to end with the level-headed Michael Carrick.

Carrick's decision to reinstate Kobbie Mainoo to the XI ended the midfielder's stint out of the side. He is fully committed to United after agreeing a new contract recently. Uncertainty remains over Carrick's future, but even he admitted on Thursday he is 'calm' about that, stating: "It'll get sorted out, when it's gonna get sorted out."

Manchester United midfielder Casemiro wants Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti to select Neymar in their World Cup squad to be the team's game changer this summer.

Neymar, 34, has not played for the national team since rupturing the anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus in his left knee two-and-a-half years ago. The country's all-time top scorer needed minor surgery on the same knee late last year and had another procedure during the last international break.

After leaving Al-Hilal almost 18 months ago, Neymar is back playing for his boyhood club Santos. He has now returned to form and fitness days before Ancelotti names his Brazil squad.

Reports in Spain claim Barcelona boss Hansi Flick has agreed a new contract until the summer of 2028. That would be a huge boost for Manchester United loanee Marcus Rashford who has impressed under the German head coach during his time at the Nou Camp.

Flick is a big fan of the England international and the club are keen on signing the United man this summer, though there are varying reports about whether Barcelona will pay the agreed £25.94m option to buy.

Barcelona would "love" to keep Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford if they can do a deal within their financial restrictions. That is according to former United star and La Liga expert Terry Gibson, who has claimed that Barca hope to retain Rashford's services but are trying to do a deal with United "regarding his salary".

Rashford, 28, joined Barca on loan from United last summer and has impressed since his move to Spain, scoring 14 goals and providing 14 assists in 47 appearances across all competitions this season.

On Sunday, the England international netted a sublime free-kick to help Barca beat Real Madrid 2-0 and secure the La Liga title in the process. Rashford played 64 minutes before being replaced by Raphinha.

Fernandes has impressed since arriving at the club in a £41m deal from Southampton, but his fine form has attracted the attention of several big clubs.

The Hammers want to keep their star men at the club, regardless of whether or not they're relegated from the top flight.

Manchester United are considering a summer move for Atalanta's Brazilian international Ederson as part of a wider midfield overhaul.
