Good morning, this is Friday's United Daily Podcast. I'm Wayne Barton with today's news and rumours. The FIFA World Cup is underway. Mexico defeated South Africa 2 0 last night. South Korea came from behind to beat the Czech Republic 2 1. Great result for them. Um yeah, I I guess I will post the World Cup results as we go on through the um
Why did Manchester City’s £120 million bid for Elliot Anderson get rejected?
So the tournament. So sorry if there are any spoilers there. I will put them towards the end of the podcast from now on. Um Transfer gossip. Manchester City have bid one hundred and twenty million pounds for Elliot Anderson. That has been rejected. Apparently the The um fee was something around a hundred and five million guaranteed with um uh the rest made up in add ons. Um I did read one report that said it was um a British record fee, um after add ons that were easily um attainable. Almost practically guaranteed, that Um sorry went past the Isaac record. Um but Forest apparently won that outright from the start.
How is Lewis Hall’s desire to leave Newcastle influencing United’s transfer plans?
I don't think they'll get that. Um City still took a bit of a leap to go up from eighty million to over north of one hundred million. Um we'll see where they settle there. Um impact United, I'm talking about it now, it does impact United in terms of if um City even decide they don't want him, um, if they've got other targets in mind. Well we'll see. Lewis Hall has been linked with United and not Manchester City, um, and apparently he wants to leave Newcastle to move to Old Trafford, which is a positive sign. Whether or not you'll put in a transfer request remains to be seen. Footballers don't tend to do that these days 'cause there's a a loyalty payment, isn't it? That um numbers in the millions these days um
So whether or not he'll put in that official transfer request, I doubt it, but encouraging that Lewis Hall is making noise that he wants to leave Newcastle. United um have an alternative to Elliot Anderson.
Which alternative midfield targets has United identified alongside Elliot Anderson?
We know that they do anyway, but another one has been named this morning. Mamadou Sangori, the Lens midfielder, twenty-three as well as Anderson. Um yeah, that's another name for the list alongside. Baliber, Wharton, Scott the um list goes on and on. Um Radic Vitek, the goalkeeper who the club were at one point, considering for back up next season, was on loan, wasn't he? Uh well they're now looking at um getting money in for him 'cause he had such a good season that um they seen him as as an asset to bring in money and also out of the goalkeeping situation themselves. Obviously the quota for having a home grown player is kind of filled by Tom Heaton. Um yeah, so VTEC is um We'll probably be moving on over the summer.
Boss Lona, um although it's still not official that they've done this, it's just another rumour. Um it could still have a twist and turn in it.
What is the situation with Vitek and why might United sell him this summer?
Um but Barcelona are apparently now briefing, they have rejected the chance to take up their twenty mil twenty six million pound option to sign Marcus Rashford that expires on Monday. So uh yeah, that should be that. Shouldn't I expect to talk about Barcelona and Rashford again this summer, right? Anyway, I'll be back on uh by tomorrow, in fact with the news. And gossip. Have a great day, guys.
