Man Utd Transfer News LIVE: Ten Hag PRAISES Sancho, Rashford REJCTION, Araujo INTEREST

Manchester United want to sign a new left-back in the summer transfer window, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Both Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia have suffered with injuries this season.

Raphael Varane could be in line for a return to his former club Lens this summer, with Manchester United confirming the Frenchman will leave when his contract expires at the end of the season.

Varane is one of United's highest earners and the defender has struggled with injury this season, leading to United opting against activating the one-year option in his contract.

And French outlet FootMercato have revealed Lens are interested in bringing Varane back to his boyhood club that he left for Real Madrid at the age of 18.

The uncertainty surrounding Erik ten Hag's future at Manchester United has led to the pursuit of Tosin Adarabioyo has stalling, according to HITC.

The Fulham defender is available on a free transfer and now looks set to join Newcastle due to Man Utd being unable to confirm who the manager will be next season and therefore being unable to guarantee Adarabioyo's role at the club if he were to join.

Wayne Rooney has delivered a damning verdict of the current Man Utd squad.

"You have to build the team around Bruno Fernandes," he told Sky Sports.

"He's the one player with quality, he has got fight in him. I think the young players and then... all the other players get rid of them.

"I think you keep the young players, you keep Bruno and I think it has to be a massive clear out. It has to be.

"It is not going to be in one year. I think it has got to be over the next couple of years."

Man Utd legend Rio Ferdinand has slammed the club's recruitment policy over the last 10 years, claiming only three players are at the "level you expect".

"When you look at the recruitment, I think there's only three players that I can remember coming in and then going: 'Okay, they've played at a level that you would have expected,' he told the Sports Agents podcast.

"Bruno [Fernandes], Cristiano [Ronaldo] and Zlatan [Ibrahimovic]. The only three players I though that you go actually I saw consistently what I expected to see from them.

"Everyone else just fell well short. For whatever reason it is, they just haven't hit a standard you expect them to come in for. There's no value in them in what you expect. So they have to get to the bottom of that."

Reports that Kieran McKenna could take over from Erik ten Hag as Man Utd manager in the summer are stepping up.

The Daily Mail now reports that contact has been made with the Ipswich boss.

Bruno Fernandes says he has no plans to leave Manchester United, despite rumours indicating he could be sold.

The Portugal star told Sky Sports: "I feel that the club wants me to be a part of the future, so, as I said always, I don't want to be a player that the club doesn't want to have.

"If for some reason they don't want to have me, I will go, but if they want me I will stay."
