Man Utd Edson Alvarez deal snag second bid Premier League star

Erik ten Hag set for third season at Manchester United, facing squad changes. Alvarez injury complicates transfer, Rashford willing to stay.

Erik ten Hag is set to continue as Manchester United manager for a third season, but he may face a squad overhaul in the upcoming term. Despite talks with Thomas Tuchel, United has decided to stick with Ten Hag, although his involvement in transfers is expected to decrease. Some players signed by the Dutchman, including Casemiro, could be on their way out this summer.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe, a part-owner of the club, has made new appointments behind the scenes to revamp a squad that finished eighth in the Premier League last season. However, the transition has not been entirely smooth for the Red Devils. Here are the latest transfer updates from Manchester United.

The pursuit of West Ham midfielder Edson Alvarez has hit a snag as the player sustained an injury while on international duty with Mexico. Alvarez, who previously played under Ten Hag at Ajax, left the field with a hamstring issue during Mexico's Copa America opener. This setback could complicate United's efforts to secure his signature.

Marcus Rashford, despite not being among the seven 'ring-fenced' players that United is unwilling to sell, has expressed his intention to stay and fight for his place at the club. The England international struggled in the previous season, but he is determined to rediscover his form under Ten Hag's management.

Manchester United's pursuit of Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite faces obstacles as their initial bid was rejected. The club is reportedly preparing a second offer to meet Everton's valuation of £70m for the young defender. If they fail to secure Branthwaite, United is also keeping an eye on Lille's Leny Yoro, with competition from Real Madrid and other Premier League clubs.

In conclusion, Manchester United's summer transfer activities are in full swing as they look to strengthen their squad under Ten Hag's leadership. The club is facing challenges in securing their targets but remains determined to make significant changes ahead of the new season.
