Welcome to Sunday's United Daily Podcast. I'm Wayne Barton with today's news and rumours. AC Milan and Portugal winger Rafael Leao wants to move to Manchester United, is on United's shortlist of targets and after Milan's failure to qualify for the Champions League may be available for a cheaper fee. I can't see this one happening. Leo is a player they're lucky to move on United are a convenient team to link them to link him to. I I just can't see it. Um Marcus Rashford is linked with Barcelona. Barcelona are apparently looking to spend only £13 million on him. This is after they've just spent £70 million or so on Anthony Gordon.
Why is Rafael Leão’s potential move to Manchester United considered unlikely?
I can't see United accepting this. In fact I think it's a a very very damaging offer if they do in intend to go down that route. If they do offer only thirteen million, I can imagine United pulling away from negotiations because look, he he's had a good season there, Rashford. It it's embarrassing if they've paid seventy f for Gordon and Gordon will do very well to match Rashford's numbers for next season. Um playing Pulper um is just a really bad way of acting. But Barcelona are not exactly a good faith club are they? Um Edison has been linked with United obviously all all terms seem to be agreed there around uh uh f thirty eight million pound, forty million pound, but there's some r uh whispers saying it could be less than that, it could be around thirty thirty two million.
So um United obviously looking to get their um original spend down as low as possible. And that is one way of doing that.
How realistic is Barcelona’s £13 million offer for Marcus Rashford?
They're quite keen to get the Edison one lined up quite um quite quickly. Another player who's been on the radar is Jared Bowen of West Ham. West Ham went down of course, but Bowen has pledged it to stay with West Ham and get him back up. That's the kind of character move you would expect from him. A decent squad player for a top team uh Without doubt, um whether or not he'd trade his position in in West Ham for that. Um the numbers in terms of money aren't gonna be great, but um you know, he could have a great end to his career as that kind of utility player. We'll see. We'll see what happens there. I c I can see Bowen moving on but all equally I can see him staying there as well. I I can't see him coming to United.
I can't see United going in for him.
Which new targets (Edison, Jared Bowen) are United evaluating and why?
Um the It's only the Premier League experience that really counts in his favour and the fact that West Ham might be um open to doing business a little bit cheaper, but considering their hard stand on Mathias Fernandez at the moment, um that's the deal that United really want to get done. United have been linked, uh billed from Germany, I say that United have been linked with Borussia Norman's Voldemar Anton, he's a defender. um central defender. He's played pretty much all I think he might have played every game for Dorman this season. And United are looking for someone reliable. I don't know if the rumour rumour mill is gone just from that. Found a player who's played every game. Quote Martinez and Dilly as players who don't play every game and say, well there's a player who's durable.
We'll see. I can't see that one happening. It's just uh a rumour to tide the weekend over.
What historic United moments were highlighted in today’s episode?
As is probably this one, uh Potos William Gomez has been linked with the United. Um he's been a good player in their championship win this season. He usually does play on the right hand side, but he's one of those wingers that can play on either side, or forwards I should say that can play on either side. He's been uh likened in profile to Louis D. Diaz, I'm not quite sure about that. Um Diaz was a bit of a monster, isn't he? Um when he when he's on when he's on song. Um but yeah, United have said to inquired over Gomez's situation there. A couple of on this days, um on this day Benjamin Sesco was born. Happy birthday to Benjamin Sesco. Hope he has a lovely day. He won't be listening to this, but I hope he does anyway.
How does the host wrap up the news and rumours for listeners?
And on this day in nineteen sixty sixty five United beat Ferric Varos in the um InterCities Fair's Cup as it was then.
