What are United’s current left‑back transfer targets and why is Lewis Hall preferred?
This podcast is proud to be part of the TalkSport fan network. TalkSport, powered by fans.
This is Tuesday's United Daily Podcast. I'm Wayne Barton with today's news and rumours. United have been linked with David Raum. The Leipzig left-back is 28 years old. This is in response to the speculation that United's interest in Lewis Hall has stalled. They've also been linked with Jorge Salinas, the Spanish defender with a relatively low release fee. I think that the Salinas deal or the Salinas interest is more significant than the Realm interest. Obviously the preference is Lewis Hall. United still waiting for a firm rejection on that. They've had the initial interest rebuffed. But they are waiting for some kind of more confirmation that it's not a rebuffing in the same way that Newcastle's relatively weak stance has been for other players. It's still confident enough though United to let Ariat Amas leave even though United are threadbare at left back. They're still talking to Norwich.
How is United progressing with the potential signing of Leicester’s Lewis Page?
with regards a permanent move or a loan transfer with a view to a permanent move so they're willing to let him leave for good which is a little bit surprising a little bit disappointing but we'll see what happens there United are though working on a deal to sign Lewis Page of Leicester City he made 18 appearances last season he's already played this season only turned 18 last month he's an England youth international he's assigning seen in the same kind of vein as Aidan Heaven and Thompson who we signed from Spurs last month as well so someone who will be involved in the under 23s and first team squad for cup games I imagine for European games when we need to flesh the bench out and things like that
I guess this is one of those kind of signings wanted by a few clubs. United are in negotiations to sign him. He was the EFL Championship Apprentice of last season. And yeah, things are moving solidly with that interest. Not so much the Joshua Zerg's interest. It remains the case that Juventus are exploring opportunity to sign him. They prefer a loan option. With an option and not a guarantee to buy. We'll see what happens there. But yeah, pretty much standard apart from Lewis Page. Talks accelerated a little bit over the last 24-48 hours. Nothing much else to report. A couple of on these days to bring you. On this day in 2004, the late Liam Miller made his debut against Dinamo Bucharest. On this day in 2013, Adnan Yanezai made his debut against Wigan FC.
What historic United debuts and matches are highlighted for today’s ‘On This Day’ segment?
as the David Moyes era got underway on this day in 2019 Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Dan James and Harry Maguire all made their debuts you can't believe that's seven years ago Harry Maguire's been at United for that long Then on this day 30 years ago, United play the charity shield against Newcastle. It's Alan Shearer's debut for Newcastle. United win 4-0. Goals from Nicky Butt, Eric Cantona, Roy Keane, David Beckham. I think Beckham's was the third, Keane's the fourth. United absolutely battering Newcastle in a game that had loads of rain and loads of sunshine as well. Also notable for the debuts of Jody Cruyff and Karol Poboska, United wiped the floor with the team that had challenged them to the title the previous season. I remembered mostly for it being Alan Shearer's debut and I should take the opportunity to tell you that there's a new episode of United Unheard.
Today, so if you Google or if you put United Unheard into the podcast provider you're currently listening to this, you get the latest episode that actually is Martin Edwards talking about the pursuit of Alan Shearer 30 years ago today. I won't spoil it all. Alan Shearer has traded off the story that he turned down United twice. He turned down United to move back to his home club of Newcastle.
Where can listeners find the full story about Alan Shearer’s near‑move to United?
Wasn't quite the case. He'd agreed a move to United and Martin Edwards explains how and why that happened. A little bit of archive audio in there as well from 30 years ago. And then Martin Edwards was good enough to sit down with me and sit down and talk about the transfer and...
