live on the Man Utd App and on ManUtd.com. Every pre-season game - including Melbourne Victory (11:05 BST kick-off) - will be shown live on the Man Utd App and on ManUtd.com. Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has named his team to take on Melbourne Victory in the second game of Tour 2022.

Barcelona have told Frenkie de Jong he must go to Old Trafford so new players can be brought to Camp Nou. Transfer Talk is LIVE with the latest.

The north London side are yet to make a formal offer for the Brazil international. However, after being excluded from pre-season selection, the Denmark international will look to leave this transfer window, with Brentford and Real Sociedad already expressing interest in the forward. United are set to sign the Argentina international after agreeing a fee of around €55 million. PSG sporting director Luis Campos has reportedly spoken to the player's father, former France great Lilian Thuram, about a move. I come to a club full of history and prestige, so I'm going to prepare myself in the best way to win many things together. He recently bought a house in Pedralbes, the most sought-after area of Barcelona and has no plans to leave the city any time soon. We are trying to create a new generation and that takes time. Dest has won just a single trophy since joining Barca in October 2020, a period that has seen the club endure significant financial turmoil. Ronaldo's agent, Jorge Mendes, met with Chelsea chairman Todd Boehly, who has since discussed the proposal with head coach Thomas Tuchel. Sources have confirmed to ESPN that while Tuchel has huge admiration for Ronaldo, he would prefer to pursue other options to strengthen their attack. I believe we are going to have a great season. The Catalan side have been unable to register new signings Andreas Christensen, Franck Kessie and Raphinha due to financial fair play restrictions. The Argentina international is under contract with the Friuli outfit through June 2026.

We'll bring you the latest Man United transfer news including updates on Frenkie de Jong and Lisandro Martinez all day long.

Club sources have confirmed discussions are progressing for United to sign the 24-year-old centre-back. United turned their attention to Martinez last month after his Ajax teammate Jurrien Timber opted to stay with the Dutch champions. Club sources have confirmed discussions are progressing for United to sign the 24-year-old centre-back. Ronaldo also didn't travel with the rest of the squad for their pre-season tour and is now in Lisbon. History has a case of repeating itself, and United fans will hope it does soon. But for 90 minutes at least against Liverpool, the saga was forgotten and United provided a glimpse of what life after Ronaldo (part two) might look like.

Manchester United finally reached an agreement with Barcelona for De Jong on Thursday. That development came after the Red Devils had sent Richard Arnold and ...

The Red Devils have agreed a £63million fee with Barcelona for the 25-year-old, who is set to be sold as the La Liga giants look to balance their finances. So, with that being the case, Express Sport has decided to get a little creative… If De Jong does move to United, he’ll become the latest player to turn out for both the Red Devils and Barcelona. But United remain confident they can get a deal over the line and that the 25-year-old is open to a new challenge in Manchester. They can’t offer De Jong that same bait, either, with the Red Devils due to be strutting their stuff in the Europa League. That development came after the Red Devils had sent Richard Arnold and John Murtough out to Catalonia in order to broker a deal.

Manchester United are trying to sign Frenkie de Jong from Barcelona but are struggling to persuade the Netherlands international to leave La Liga for the ...

"What I'm saying, there is absolutely nothing of an agreement [with United] or anything official," De Jong told reporters last month. De Jong and his partner Mikky Kiemeney have recently purchased a house in Catalonia, while the player still believes he can play an important role in Xavi's team. They have agreed an initial £63million transfer fee with Barcelona but are struggling to persuade the player to move to England. The Catalan giants can't register new signing Raphinha, who scored 11 Premier League goals for Leeds last term, until they trim their budget. How am I going to leave Barcelona?" Ten Hag is looking to rebuild the club's stuttering squad but has signed just one player so far, defender Tyrell Malacia.

Erik ten Hag's side are set to play the second match of their pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia on Friday when they face A-League side Melbourne ...

United will face Atletico Madrid in Helsinki on July 30 before welcoming fellow Spaniards Rayo Vallecano to Old Trafford a day later in their final friendly. United will become the latest club to do so on Friday when they take on Melbourne Victory at 11:05am UK time. The Red Devils are set to face the A-League side in the second match of their pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Erik ten Hag's side could be cheered on by over 100,000 supporters, with the MCG capable of holding 10,000 supporters more than England's national stadium.

Manchester United inched closer to securing Frenkie de Jong on Thursday by agreeing a 635million fee with Barcelona, but one issue is stoppping the Dutchman ...

United are also in advanced talks to sign Argentina defender Lisandro Martinez from Ajax, with a fee reported to have been agreed. Having agreed to defer his wages upon the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, it's believed De Jong is owed as much as £17million by Barcelona, and the midfielder wants to see the money coughed up before he books his flights to Manchester. It's not for their lack of trying, but the Red Devils need to get a move on if they are to bolster their squad and push for a top four spot in the Premier League this season.

Manchester United are close to accepting defeat over their chances of signing Frenkie de Jong after his agents made their stance absolutely clear.

And by the looks of it, they could be chasing De Jong for another month without success. United made their transfer fee breakthrough with a trip to Barcelona earlier this week. Indeed, it is not only Man Utd that want to push the De Jong transfer through. CEO Richard Arnold and football director John Murtough led the talks. But if De Jong is unwilling to make the move, United simply have to move on. He has publicly insisted on more than one occasion that he feels happy at Barcelona.

Manchester United come from behind to beat A League outfit Melbourne Victory 4-1 as they maintained their 100% start to pre-season.

It's up to him." The Dutchman looked stern as he stood on his own on the touchline watching his new charges struggle to break down a side at the beginning of their own pre-season preparations and who were prepared to sit deep. Jadon Sancho played on the right of the attack in the first-half and Rashford on the left after the break.

Still, it shows we have plenty of options for rotation in the forward positions, with Erik commenting in his Thursday press conference that he feels Donny van de Beek could also occupy an attacking midfield – and perhaps even a false no.9 – role. The Ivorian stood out when fielded there in the Liverpool clash, as he set up Facundo Pellistri’s goal – our fourth of the game – but Marcus soon swapped with him, latching on to Eric Bailly's through ball to score our third. The signing of the 35-year-old former United winger has been headline news in Australia all week and even though he’d only travelled Down Under earlier this week and trained twice with his new team-mates, Nani – who stopped to grab a quick word with MUTV before kick-off – was named on the Victory bench. Eight of the 10 replacements had also played in Bangkok, but for Ethan Laird and Tahith Chong, it was a chance to get some minutes in the legs and time on the pitch for United after spending much of the recent time out on loan. For the second friendly in a row, Erik opted to change his entire outfield line-up at the break, with Rashford captaining a younger and more inexperienced side in the second half. The Reds were behind for much of the first half, following a shock early Victory opener, but a couple of goals before half-time from Scott McTominay and Anthony Martial put us in the driving seat.

Man Utd sign Denmark international Christian Eriksen; midfielder turns down offer from Brentford to sign three-year deal at Old Trafford; ...

You can also catch up with the ins, outs and analysis on Sky Sports News. Having spoken with him and learned more about his vision and the way he wants the team to play, I am even more excited for the future. John Murtough, Manchester United's football director, added: "Christian has been one of the best attacking midfielders in Europe throughout his career. On Friday evening, Ajax centre back Lisandro Martinez posted an image on his Instagram account of him and his agent on a plane with the caption "heading to Manchester", with a £45m switch nearing completion. "In addition to his outstanding technique, Christian will add valuable experience and leadership skills to the squad, and we are looking forward to seeing the benefits of these qualities on the pitch this coming season and beyond." "Manchester United is a special club, and I cannot wait to get started," said Eriksen. "I have had the privilege of playing at Old Trafford many times but to do it in the red shirt of United will be an amazing feeling.

The Argentine was pictured alongside his agent on a private jet seemingly headed to Manchester, where he is set to undergo a medical and sign his contract. The 24-year-old has been consistently linked with United and Ten Hag has now got his top defensive target. The Dutch side initially remained firm and insisted that their best players would not join Ten Hag at Old Trafford, but have now reneged on their stance.

Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand discussed Lisandro Martinez at length as the versatile Ajax defender prepares to complete his £46million transfer to ...

But if we've got a lot of the ball and we're expecting to dominate possession against the so-called lesser teams, maybe then he may not be called in for that position and may slot back into the centre-back position or maybe not even starting." Nonetheless, the Red Devils legend is excited about the versatility Martinez will bring to Ten Hag's squad, as he can also play in midfield or at left-back. Ferdinand is among those who are excited by the imminent arrival and has been hearing "mutterings from different people" about what United can expect from their new signing.

Lisandro Martinez's move from Ajax to Manchester United is nearing completion, he'll cost around €55 million.

Despite his reasonably small stature (he stands around 5’9″), Martinez is great in the air, tackles brilliantly and can play passes as good as any midfielder, something we touched on HERE. For a club of their stature, Europa League football is simply not good enough and the onus will be on Ten Hag to guide the team back into the Champions League for 2023/24. Martinez will be United’s third signing of the summer after the arrivals of Tyrell Malacia from Feyenoord and Christian Eriksen on a free transfer.

NOT EVERYONE will be happy to see Christian Eriksen arrive at Old Trafford.

The arrival of Ten Hag at United was fantastic news for Donny van de Beek, who returned from his loan spell at Everton delighted to be reunited with his old Ajax boss. All three are currently out in Australia with United, trying to impress Ten Hag in training. The signing of Christian Eriksen provided Manchester United with a timely boost on Friday, but it is not good news for everyone at the club. With Bruno Fernandes also untouchable, his chances of getting a regular starting berth suddenly look slim. Announcing the signing, John Murtough, United’s football director, said: “Christian has been one of the best attacking midfielders in Europe throughout his career. Negotiations with Barcelona for top target Frenkie de Jong have stalled, leaving Tyrell Malacia as the only confirmed arrival before Eriksen’s.

Much debate was had about his future but Sir Alex made a decisive move for a player who had grown up with the enemy at Liverpool. The fact he took on Cristiano Ronaldo's no.7 jersey showed the manager was not worried about any of that, saying: "He'll give us experience in the penalty box. The decision disappointed Bhoys boss Martin O'Neill but Sir Alex had been impressed with somebody who caught his eye when he was believed to be scouting Vincent Kompany during a Champions League tie with Anderlecht at Parkhead. "Our relationship with Celtic has always been a good one," stressed Ferguson. "We took Brian McClair in exactly the same end-of-contract circumstances before the Bosman ruling came in. We tried to get Karim Benzema but, as soon as that dropped through, we went for Michael." That was evident early in his Reds career, when he scored a memorable injury-time winner in the Manchester derby, and he finished with 17 goals in 52 outings, including a strike in the League Cup final against Aston Villa. He also helped United win the league in 2010/11, something he had failed to manage at Anfield. However, he was later allowed to join Middlesbrough on a free transfer.Every pre-season game, including Tuesday's match against Crystal Palace, will be shown Fortunately, his output matched his ego and his signing proved a masterstroke, as he led the line superbly under Jose Mourinho. Like Cavani, he had left PSG and wanted to taste English football for the first time. "We were desperate to get him when Peter left because he was here when he was a lad but couldn't get a work permit," said the boss. The late Irish midfielder, who sadly passed away in 2018, failed to renew his contract with Celtic and signed a pre-agreement instead with United in January 2004, as was permitted under the Bosman ruling. However, injuries hampered his second campaign and he left this summer, with 19 goals in 59 matches to his name. The Dane's were big shoes to fill but Ferguson was convinced in the new man after agreeing a four-year contract. With Dean Henderson loaned to Nottingham Forest for the 2022/23 campaign, he could be hoping for more first-team exposure this term. Blanc played 75 times for the Reds and helped the team win the Premier League title in 2002/03. The stylish France international had been on United's radar for so long, even after appearing against Alex Ferguson's team for Montpellier during our successful European Cup Winners' Cup run in 1991.
