Tuesday's Manchester United transfer talk news roundup: Donny van de Beek, Dayot Upamecano, Jesse Lingard

Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for Manchester United on Tuesday, September 1.

The summer transfer window has now begun, with rumours and speculation continuing to swirl as Manchester United eye possible reinforcements.

The Red Devils brought in Bruno Fernandes and Odion Ighalo in the final days of the winter window but are still expected to be active in the summer as they aim to restore their former glories.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news on possible comings and goings from Old Trafford.

Tuesday morning's Manchester United transfer talk news roundup:


Man United 'prioritise Dayot Upamecano deal after signing Donny van de Beek'

Manchester United will reportedly prioritise the signing of Dayot Upamecano after completing a deal for Ajax midfielder Donny van de Beek.

Van de Beek is undergoing a medical ahead of a £35.8m switch to Old Trafford, having agreed a five-year deal with the Red Devils.

Confirmation of that transfer is expected soon, and ESPN reports that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will then switch his focus to completing a deal for RB Leipzig defender Upamecano.

The 21-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League in the past but recently signed a new contract, with his old one due to expire next summer.

Reports in Germany claim that Upamecano's new deal contains a release clause of €42m (£37.5m), but that only becomes valid at the end of next season.

Solskjaer is hopeful of pushing a deal through this summer, though, as he looks to partner Upamecano with Harry Maguire.

United have also been linked with a big-money move for Jadon Sancho, although they remain significantly short of Borussia Dortmund's asking price for the England international.

Donny van de Beek has reportedly completed a medical with Manchester United ahead of his proposed £40m switch to Old Trafford.

The Ajax midfielder appears to be inching closer towards a move to the Premier League with the Red Devils, making him Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's first signing of the summer transfer window.

Van de Beek is currently with the Netherlands squad preparing for their UEFA Nations League fixtures against Poland and Italy, but according to Sky Sports News, the midfielder has now undergone his medical with United.

A deal is expected to be wrapped up within the next few days, and despite coronavirus guidelines requiring a 14-day quarantine period when arriving in the UK, the report claims that Van de Beek will not need to self-isolate if he is registered as a Man United player before the Netherlands take to the field in the Nations League.

The Netherlands are due to take on Poland on September 4 before locking horns with Italy three days later, and Van de Beek will reportedly travel to the UK once both games have been played.

The 23-year-old registered 10 goals and 10 assists across all competitions for Ajax during the 2019-20 campaign.
