The wait for Manchester United fans is almost over as pre-season concluded on Saturday at Wembley Stadium.
Erik ten Hag’s tenure at Old Trafford will not be defined by winning or losing the Community Shield but he will have undoubtedly been disappointed to see his side lose 7-6 on penalties to Manchester City. However, with that game out of the way, full focus is on the opening game of the Premier League season against Fulham next Friday.
United will hope they have two new faces through the door before then with the Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui deals both close to completion. Other transfers are also being worked on behind the scenes though as our latest look at the media headlines explains.
United preparing £50m bid for Ferguson
According to the Daily Star, United are preparing a sensational £50m offer for Brighton and Hove Albion striker Evan Ferguson. It is believed the bid is being pushed for by Dan Ashworth who was the sporting director on the south coast when the Republic of Ireland international moved to the Amex.
