Man Utd news: Erik ten Hag handed transfer boost as Kylian Mbappe gives seal of approval

Manchester United fans haven't been left short of news during the international break.

The club's sale process ahead of a potential takeover is continuing following a dramatic week which saw the deadline for follow-up bids extended. Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani, through his Nine Two Foundation, and INEOS chief executive Sir Jim Ratcliffe both lodged fresh offers alongside a newcomer into the race: Finnish billionaire Thomas Zilliacus.

In the meantime, United's star players have been strutting their stuff on the international stage. With amount of reports flying around, it also seems that Erik ten Hag hasn't spent much time relaxing before what's set to be a testing run-in, as he's looking ahead to the summer transfer window.

Ten Hag receives boost over 'next Haaland'

Manchester United might fancy their chances of signing Danish hotshot Rasmus Hojlund after Erik ten Hag received two boosts in the Red Devils' pursuit of signing the 20-year-old Atalanta starlet. According to Danish outlet Ekstra Bladet, via Sport Witness, United have 'concrete interest' in Hojlund amid Ten Hag's search for a new striker.

Meanwhile, the Denmark international - who scored an impressive five goals in two games for his country last week - is set to change agencies in a hint towards a big-money summer transfer, despite joining Atalanta less than a year ago. And if that wasn't enough, Hojlund has revealed that he's a "huge" Red Devils supporter, another plus for Ten Hag.

Mbappe gives green light for Ferguson move

Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe has praised Brighton striker Evan Ferguson amid his links of a move to Manchester United. Ferguson, 18, scored his first senior goal on his full debut for Republic of Ireland last Wednesday and faced Mbappe's France on Tuesday evening in a Euro 2024 qualifier.

Asked about the United target's prospects ahead of the game, Mbappe said: "We watched some of his plays, he's a very good striker. We'll be very wary of him and, hopefully, we won't see him much."

Sabitzer dilemma emerges after Bayern decision

Manchester United's attempts to sign Marcel Sabitzer from Bayern Munich on a permanent basis may not be so straightforward following Thomas Tuchel's appointment at the Allianz Arena. The on-loan midfielder has spoken of his desire to remain at Old Trafford following a productive first two months at the club, but that was when he was still out of favour under now-sacked Bayern manager Julian Nagelsmann.

Sabitzer, 29, has two more years remaining on his deal with the Bundesliga champions and ex-Chelsea boss Tuchel may seek to use him next season when his loan deal in Manchester expires. Nagelsmann was the man to bring the Austrian to Munich, having worked together at RB Leipzig, but Sabitzer failed to make an impression after his big move.
