Marcus Rashford finds himself in the Man Utd transfer news headlines following his absence from the squad that faced Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday.
Although Erik ten Hag’s side came through 1-0 thanks to a late Bruno Fernandes goal, the headlines since that encounter have surrounded the absence of the England international from the matchday squad.
It is something that has clearly irritated Rashford, who hit out at the “malicious rumours” that are being spread about him.
Romano reveals Rashford details
Football transfer news expert Fabrizio Romano has taken to YouTube to explain exactly what went on between Rashford and Ten Hag late last week following the revelation that the striker had been to a party after the 3-0 derby loss to Manchester City.
Romano indicated that there was nothing concerning about his absence from the team that tackled Fulham.
Antony truth revealed by Romano
Antony has been linked with a surprise move away from Old Trafford in the January window, with the Brazilian’s future at the club up in the air after a poor start to the season.
Romano claims that he is not aware of any interest in the player, indicating that the situation remains “very quiet”.
The football transfer news expert did admit, however, that Antony knows that his performances will have to improve.
Relaxed over Mainoo interest
Man Utd are said to be “relaxed” over the interest that Manchester City have in midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, who has been with the club since he was nine years old.
The Manchester Evening News states that the Red Devils are comfortable with the situation, with City having tried to prise Mainoo away on several previous occasions only for the midfielder to reject their interest each time.
Ramos speaks out over Man Utd interest
Sergio Ramos has explained why he turned down the chance to sign for Man Utd in 2015.
The legendary centre-back is quoted by the Mirror as having said: “I stayed where I should have stayed, Real Madrid, but was indeed close to playing for United.
“It was not to be, but I do keep that admiration for the club, to the Premier League and the players, because the rhythm of play and the pace is different. It's a league we can learn a great deal from.
“That was not meant to be. I was glad to stay in Madrid and now I'm glad to be in Sevilla.”
Man Utd face wonderkid battle
Manchester United are “anxious” to sign leading academy player Omari Forson to a new contract, according to reports.
A string of Premier League clubs are lining up to pinch the teenager if Ten Hag’s side fail in this attempt.
