These are your Manchester United morning headlines for Wednesday, July 27:
United have an obvious transfer plan following Anthony Martial decision
This is redemption season at Manchester United and, should Anthony Martial continue in this manner, it might yet turn into a full-blown French revolution. Either way there are brighter times on the horizon and United have a clear transfer plan following their decision on the rejuvenated frontman.
Even with speculation over Cristiano Ronaldo mounting, Martial had an anxious wait when boarding the long flight to Thailand with his United teammates. Four games and three goals later, the foundations have been laid for him to finally make the most of his undoubted talent.
Lofty predictions for Martial must be taken with a pinch of salt. Similarly to United as a collective, there have been too many false dawns for the 26-year-old and the reality is he has only had two good seasons for the club. It is now more than seven years since he joined from AS Monaco in a much-publicised £50million transfer.
Sir Alex Ferguson at United training ground on morning of Cristiano Ronaldo talks
Sir Alex Ferguson was at Manchester United's training ground on Tuesday morning, on the day in which Erik ten Hag is set to hold talks with Cristiano Ronaldo regarding his future at the club. The legendary United manager was seen driving into the club's Carrington complex at roughly 11am, an hour after Ronaldo had arrived, accompanied by his agent, Jorge Mendes.
Ferguson, who played a key role in luring Ronaldo back to United a year ago, was soon followed into the training complex by fellow club icon Bryan Robson.
Ten Hag arrived shortly after Ronaldo, while chief executive Richard Arnold was also present at Carrington later in the morning. United players began arriving at 11am with the club expecting all players in by 11:30am.
