What new signing did United announce and why is it significant?
This podcast is proud to be part of the Talk Sport Fan Network. Talk sport powered by fans. Good morning, this is Tuesday's United Daily Podcast. I'm Wayne Barton with today's news and rumours. Manchester United officially announced the completion of the deal for Tynan Thompson yesterday. He arrived from Tottenham Hot Spur, is a winger. There's a fee of around four million pounds up front and four million pound in add-ons. He's a player of consistent Considerable promise, lots of disgruntlement that spurs among the supporters that players like him are not getting an opportunity in the first team. Um there's speculation that he's been promised a pathway like Aidan Heavens at United in that you know he'll be given first team opportunities rather than be integrated through the youth team, and it is an interesting one.
Even.
He was Named in Spurs' first team squad on three occasions last season. He um made seven appearances for England's under eighteens. Um last season was pretty good for him in front of goal, especially from the wing. He scored three goals in the youth cup, he scored seven goals in the under eighteen Premier League, and seven goals in seven games in the UA for Youth League. Um whether or not he's ready to make that step up. It's a first team, nobody knows. Obviously, United have bought him for a reason. Um, they paid a fair chunk for him, considering he hasn't made a first team appearance for Spurs.
How might Tynan Thompson’s pathway to the first team compare to Aidan Heaven’s?
We'll see on how he does get integrated, but um yeah, there's a lot of speculation there that he's been given the kind of assurances that he'll be giv getting an opportunity in the same way that Aiden Evan did. Um Heaven would have been watching the FA uh the World. Cup final at the weekend, wondering if Lisandro Martinez's injury means more of an opportunity for him in the first team. Well, that's the um kind of pathway Thompson will be looking at. He'll probably be looking at Matthias Co uh Mateus Cunha, um Dogu, he'll be looking at Rashford situation, um plays from the left, but he can play on either side, so we're told. So We'll see what happens there, but good luck. Tynan um signed from Spurs yesterday.
United are still being linked with Roma and France midfielder Manu Coney. Arsenal have been linked with him this morning. Rio Ferdinand had speculated, I don't know if he was just joking, that United United have agreed a deal for him. And there'd be nothing other than that to substantiate the fact that United Or that accelerated in their interest for him. But when you look at the reports online, it's generally fear-greed for Coney, and it all goes back to Fernand's alleged comment. So we'll see what happens there. I don't think he's United's third midfield option. I I still believe that there's interest in Carlos Baliber. I don't know how far down the line that is or where United are. With the next steps of the next signing.
Obviously it w blistered a uh blasted a little bit in it last week with the signings of Santos and Tierlemans and Darlow gone a little bit quiet, but that's to be expected. If United are to make another midfielder in um another midfield signing, I should say, it's not likely to be Edison. He looks like he's agreed a contract extension with Atlanta. Atalanta um obviously United their deal for him fell down after medical tests flagged a few concerns about the player which both sides have tried to dampen. United haven't even acknowledged that um they haven't acknowledged anything to do with Edison and Atalanta and and Edison's representatives are um they are insisting that nothing uh is wrong with the players
Uh uh condition. Now these reports about his contract extension uh having been signed. I think they're a little bit premature. I don't think the contract extension is official yet. I think it's just a little bit of grease in the wheel there to see if there's any further interest to see if they can um get any interest out there before um before committing to that deal. I think they they're quite happy.
Which midfield targets are linked with United and what are the reported fees?
To keep him, but if they can get um that £30 million for him, that they're quite happy to do that.
