### Mason Greenwood’s Future: Interest from Top European Clubs
Mason Greenwood is attracting attention from clubs across Europe, including those in Spain, Germany, Italy, and Portugal. After a loan spell with Getafe last season, the Spanish club is interested in another deal for Greenwood, who has just one year left on his Manchester United contract. Juventus and Lazio are also reportedly exploring swap deals involving the young forward.
### Erik ten Hag in Hot Water Over Ibiza Meeting Revelation
Erik ten Hag has found himself in a difficult position after revealing details about a private managerial meeting with INEOS in Ibiza. Sir Jim Ratcliffe and other Manchester United executives are reportedly annoyed that what was meant to be a confidential discussion has been made public. Ten Hag’s future seemed uncertain after Manchester United’s disappointing eighth-place finish in the Premier League, but an unexpected FA Cup win over Manchester City helped him retain his job.
### Jonathan David and Michael Olise: Transfer Links and Setbacks
Manchester United’s pursuit of Lille’s Jonathan David continues, with the forward’s impressive form in Ligue 1 making him a desirable target. However, Tottenham is also in the race, potentially complicating United’s efforts. Meanwhile, hopes of signing Crystal Palace’s Michael Olise have dimmed as the winger seems set to join Bayern Munich.
### Jarrad Branthwaite Negotiations Hit a Snag
Negotiations with Everton for defender Jarrad Branthwaite are at a standstill, with the Toffees demanding between £70m and £80m. Manchester United, having already had a £43m bid rejected, are considering walking away from the deal unless Everton lowers their asking price.
### Altay Bayindir Starts for Turkey
Altay Bayindir, who joined Manchester United from Fenerbahce last summer, is starting for Turkey in their Euro 2024 Group F clash against Portugal. Despite limited game time at United, he’s been trusted to guard the net in this crucial match.
### Federico Chiesa as Part of a Greenwood Swap Deal?
Juventus might propose a swap deal involving Federico Chiesa for Mason Greenwood. Chiesa, whose contract with Juventus expires in 2025, could be offered to reduce the financial burden on the Italian club.
### Lille’s Leny Yoro on United’s Radar
Manchester United has also expressed interest in Lille’s 18-year-old defender Leny Yoro. However, Yoro reportedly prefers a move to Real Madrid, and Liverpool is another club vying for his signature if talks with Madrid fall through.
### Nico Williams and Other Transfer News
Manchester United continues to be linked with a variety of players, including Bologna striker Joshua Zirkzee and West Ham’s Edson Alvarez. The club is working within a budget to recruit a centre-back, midfielder, and striker, aiming for smart signings without overspending.
### Dream Midfield for Next Season
In an ideal scenario, Manchester United’s midfield next season could feature Kobbie Mainoo, Joao Neves or Conor Gallagher, and Bruno Fernandes. The club is exploring affordable yet high-quality options to strengthen this critical area.
### Other Transfer Insights and Speculations

– **Victor Lindelof and Casemiro:** Both players are being eyed by Jose Mourinho for Fenerbahce.
