00:00 So Michael, just a bit of an update in the transfer front at Manchester United, what's
00:04 been going on there in recent weeks?
00:07 Yes, so obviously a lot going on with United in transfers, certainly one of the, there
00:13 are always so much talk about clubs in terms of transfers and stuff, but this summer there
00:17 really is quite a bit going on in terms of players coming in, well certainly players
00:20 to Blandon to bring in and players to Parton. I mean just a minute or two before we came
00:25 on it was just announced that Anthony Alanga has departed the club, I think that's a decision
00:28 that makes sense for everyone, a player who's probably really sunk the kind of 7-3, 8-2
00:33 choice in the wide areas, so many options for Eric Ten Hag to have. And yes, I think
00:38 that's a really good move for everyone. So he's departed, I mean I think we're very soon
00:42 expecting Dean Henderson to join him and Noling on Forrest as well. Certainly know that Andre
00:46 Onana has been confirmed at United, expect that one to go through pretty quickly. Fred,
00:50 I'm fully expecting him to depart as well soon, obviously not involved in United's tour
00:53 at the moment, not to be shown the reasons why that is the case, I think the club said
00:59 he was dealing with a personal issue, so he's not involved in America, but we fully expect
01:03 him to leave soon. And then another one I think is Van de Beek, I think that Danny Van
01:07 de Beek, I mean there was a report yesterday that he's attracted a lot of interest from
01:11 clubs, I mean the player himself said he's probably going to move on, Ten Hag's keen
01:14 to kind of get rid of him I think. You know he played six central midfielders against
01:19 Arsenal in a recent pre-season friendly and Danny Van de Beek wasn't one of them. Fred
01:22 wasn't involved, so I mean when you consider Fred's above him in the pecking order, it's
01:26 easy to look at Van de Beek as kind of the eighth choice in the pecking order at the
01:28 moment for central midfield. It just hasn't worked, I think he just needs to move on at
01:32 this stage after a disappointing three years. So look, there's plenty going on in terms
01:36 of outgoings, I should just mention on this point in terms of outgoing that obviously
01:40 Harry Maguire continues to be an interesting subject in terms of the club and what's happening
01:47 there. Look, I mean Ten Hag said the other day that he potentially needs five centre-back
01:51 options this season, United only have four, that includes Maguire, you factor Johnny Evans
01:56 into that, that's potentially a fifth, they've just offered Rhys Bennett, I'm sorry, yeah,
02:00 Evans would be a fifth, they've just offered youngster Rhys Bennett a new contract, that's
02:03 another option. But I think for Maguire it does seem a little bit of a game of chicken
02:08 at the moment, a little bit, you know, who's going to kind of push for this, is it going
02:11 to be Maguire, is it going to be Manchester United, is it going to be, I think it's something
02:15 that's going to rumble on at least for another couple of weeks, I wouldn't be surprised if
02:18 Maguire is still involved when the season kicks off, but I do fully expect that by the
02:21 time the window closes that he will have left the club permanently, I know that Chelsea
02:25 and West Ham are certainly interested in him. So yeah, that's a bit of a round-up of outgoings
02:31 and then potentially incomings, I mean I'm fully expecting a bid for Rasmus Hoyland of
02:36 Atalanta this week, real interest from United in him, obviously 20-year-old striker, I think
02:41 planning for the future, I do think it's a really, would be a really, well, I say I think
02:46 it'd be a good move, I think it's certainly a move that United haven't done in recent
02:49 years in terms of buying up a common striker, I mean you look at the kind of players they've
02:53 gone for in recent years, Cavani, Ronaldo, who else, Gallo, players like that, all short-term
03:02 options, no long-term planning, I think Hoyland would obviously, yeah, mark a change in that
03:07 regard, I just think there are a couple of questions for Marcus about, you know, I just
03:10 don't think he's all that proven at this stage, that's not to say he won't go on to be a success,
03:15 but I think there are obviously, he hasn't, it's quite a short period of time that he's
03:19 been a top-quality striker, so there's still a lot of doubts in that regard, so I think
03:23 Hoyland is one they're definitely going to move forward, Kane is still one they're interested
03:28 in but it's just looking so difficult in that regard, and then there was obviously Torkman
03:31 Bape earlier this week, I don't think that one's going to happen personally, but never
03:36 say never, I certainly think paying a big transfer fee would, he's looking almost impossible
03:42 feeing at it at this stage. And then one final one, it's just to say that they are still
03:45 interested in Sophie and Amribat, and that's another player that I think they probably
03:49 will make a move for in the coming weeks, but I think they'll get Hoyland wrapped up
03:52 first and then make a move for Amribat. So yeah, plenty of information there, sorry to
03:57 bombard you, but yeah, quite a lot going on with United at the moment.
