What loan moves is Manchester United negotiating this summer?
This podcast is proud to be part of the TalkSport fan network. TalkSport, powered by fans.
This is Thursday's United Daily Podcast. I'm Wayne Barton with today's news and rumours. Altai Bayandia is in negotiations with Celta Vigo to complete the loan. Bit of a surprise, people thought he'd move back to Turkey on a permanent basis. The interest has just not been there. Celta Vigo's bid is a loan with an option to buy, not a permanent trigger on buying. a bit disappointing that United are navigating their loans this summer they don't have they don't have a pot of money to call upon that makes this an easy thing but maybe they consider the likes of Andre and Arnaud Altai, Bayern, what they would bring in would be so nominal. It doesn't really impact anything.
Is Morgan Gibbs‑White being linked as a replacement for Bruno Fernandes?
United have been linked with Morgan Gibbs-White as a replacement for Bruno Fernandes should he choose to leave. Spurs and even Bayern Munich have been linked with him mostly Spurs though there was the suggestion that Spurs who've made kind of stunning moves with the way that they've made their transfers that they were going to do that with Gibbs White you know make the bid and get him signed up within three or four days they were linked with him last year weren't they We'll see what happens there. United aren't interested in him. Bruno Fernandes is going nowhere. They are interested in Real Madrid's midfielders, Aurelien Tumene and Eduardo Camavinga. However, still no movement on whether or not Real Madrid are going to sign Rodri, which frees up one of those players.
United are waiting for that before deciding what they're going to do with the rest of the transfer kitty which is looking more like United are a reactive than proactive club in this summer's transfer market and I don't think it's working out very well for them if you think of the state of the squad and the state of the squads of the competitors that United are coming up against I think it's been a little bit underwhelming so far still time to turn it around of course Not everything's about the transfer market as well. But yeah, United are weighing on that. However, there was a whisper that Barcelona might go in for Rodri. And if he does, then Real Madrid aren't selling anyone, are they? Apart from the fact that they might want to sell someone to bring in funds after it looks like they are completing the signing for Yandere Monday, which is going to be around £125 million.
Or Euros. Around that kind of figure. Which obviously is a big chunk of cash. And they might still look to move someone on. The speculation is obviously. There's going to be Vinicius Junior as well.
How is United’s overall transfer strategy shaping up for the window?
But they are still locked in conversations with him. To renew his contract. And we've been there before haven't we? With that. In the women's team, as expected, they appointed Eva Orlid yesterday. A two-year deal with a topic option to extend by an extra year. She said the opportunities to become head coach of Manchester United Women is a dream come true. The club has outstanding infrastructure and everything we need to achieve our ambitions. I don't know if she knows that much about that, but she might have a different opinion in a couple of years. We have an excellent training facility and academy that's already producing players capable of performing in a competitive first team and an exceptional group of support staff.
What does Eva Olid’s appointment mean for Manchester United Women?
There's so much talent within our squad. I'm excited to work with the players to support them and fulfil their immense potential. I'm joining the club at a really exciting time. There's a clear alignment in our shared vision and For long-term success, I can't wait to begin preparing a team that will make our incredible supporters proud. Matt Johnson, the director of women's football, said Eva is an outstanding coach with an incredible determination to succeed.
