Check out the Manchester United headlines for the morning of Tuesday, June 27, 2023.
United's Zidane Iqbal clauses
Manchester United have included a buyback clause in the deal that will see Zidane Iqbal move to FC Utrecht for €1million, as well as a sell-on clause that entitles them to 40% of his next transfer fee.
The 20-year-old has completed his move to the Eredivisie, but United have the option to buy the midfielder back should his development accelerate in the Netherlands.
Iqbal shone on United's pre-season tour last summer but he struggled to make a breakthrough last season, appearing on the bench 17 times but failing to make an appearance for Erik ten Hag's side.
United have decided to cash-in on Iqbal now with younger midfielder starting to train more regularly with the first-team, including 18-year-old Kobbie Mainoo, but sources have described Iqbal's departure as a 'no lose situation'.
Henderson still expects to join Nottingham Forest
Manchester United goalkeeper Dean Henderson is convinced he will join Nottingham Forest permanently.
Henderson, 26, is understood to be perplexed by suggestions he could stay at United, who are planning for the England international's sale.
The Manchester Evening News revealed last month Henderson was informed of Forest's intention to buy him after they secured their Premier League survival.
Forest have mooted a possible £30million deal for Henderson, who is recovering from surgery on a thigh strain that has kept him sidelined since January.
Five players United could target if Mount pursuit fails
Manchester United are considering alternatives amid the growing uncertainty over a possible summer move for Mason Mount.
United agreed personal terms with the 24-year-old last month, but despite his desire to move, there has been little progress made in reaching an agreement with Chelsea.
The London club is holding out for a fee close to £65million after rejecting United's third bid, believed to be valued at £55million.
United are unhappy with Chelsea, who they believe are overvaluing Mount given he is out of contract next year, and though their own bargaining position is weakened by a tight budget, they do not want to compromise amid their intention to sign a striker.
