Talking Devils - A Manchester United Podcast

Thg big news yesterday was the club's announcement of acquisition of the land for the proposed new stadium. Meanwhile, Marcus Rashford may move to London.

The leading news item this morning is the tragic death of Mark Hughes' son, Alex. There is some further news I discuss but seems churlish to mention it in the description.

Croatia midfielder Baturina has apparently been subject to a United offer after scoring for his country against England in possibly the laziest transfer rumour of the summer. Meanwhile, the broadcasters lose their mind at the concept of Manchester United playing games at the start and end of a season.

Everyone is waiting for 10am and the Premier League fixture drop. United are briefing that they won't loan Rashford out again. The wing options appears to become a narrower pool after Arsenal and Liverpool make their moves for players who have been linked to Old Trafford in the past.

Marcus Rashford may well have a future at United and his goal against Croatia could be part of a rehabilitation story to reconnect him with his boyhood club. However, United may retain an interest in a West Ham winger to take his place. Meanwhile, a lot of strategic mulling for midfielders with nobody yet to make their formal move and ignite the market.

Rumours of Ederson's medical are exaggerated, Bouaddi's name gets linked to United immediately, while mid-June presents a couple of 'On This Days' in United's past.

United are on course to complete their medical of Ederson, a couple of United targets seem destined for other places, Bayern go cool on Rashford, and Amad makes a splash.

Lou Macari is finally given some official recognition for his incredible work, and United remain calm on Fernandes.
