Man Utd transfer news LIVE: United make Mbeumo bid, Italians ‘chase Hojlund’, Jim Ratcliffe plans major reshuffle
Al-Ahli star Ivan Toney disagrees with Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes, who rejected a mega-money move to Saudi Arabia claiming he wanted to carry on playing at the highest level.
That’s his decision. He maybe thinks it's different to me. He obviously hasn't seen the league
The standard is high. I always say this, people always judge it on not seeing it, you know? And you have to see it first hand to have your own opinion.
If people went there and went to some games, they'd soon realise. I know it's a good standard. You would never knock it once you've been there. It is tough.
Ivan ToneyManchester United ace Lisandro Martinez could be set for an exit this summer.
Martinez is now facing an uncertain future at Old Trafford with Napoli reportedly interested.
According to Corriere dello Sport, the centre-back is being tracked by the Serie A champions.
The Partenopei are "monitoring" the Argentina international's recovery from the ACL injury that he suffered in February.
It is believed that the Italian giants are not concerned about the 27-year-old's recent issues with injury.
To add, it is thought that Napoli's sporting director Giovanni Manna is a fan of the defender.
It is not yet known whether or not United would cash in on the former Ajax star if the opportunity presented itself.
If a transfer to Napoli went through, then the Argentine would reunite with former Man Utd team-mate Scott McTominay.
Manchester United have reportedly made their opening offer for Bryan Mbeumo.
The Red Devils have submitted £45m up front plus £10m in add-ons.

Brailsford stood down as team principal of Ineos Grenadiers when Sir Jim Ratcliffe purchased his minority stake in United.
He then took charge of football operations at Man Utd and has been in that role for a year trying to implement change at the club.
However, the season has been nothing short of a disaster after the Red Devils finished a record-low 15th in the Premier League.
Sir Dave Brailsford is set to step back in his role at Manchester United, according to reports.
The move comes as part of another major reshuffle being planned by Ineos head Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

The Cameroon international is among Man Utd's top targets.
Manchester United tried offering Jadon Sancho to West Ham as part of a swap deal to sign Mohammed Kudus this summer.

Kudus has been previously linked with moves to Liverpool and Arsenal.
There has also been interest from Saudi Arabia but the versatile forward would prefer to stay in Europe.
Rumours linking United with a surprise move for Gianluigi Donnarumma have been shut down.
The goalkeeper’s agent has confirmed talks over a new contract with PSG.
Ruben Amorim’s side were suggested to be keeping an eye on Donnarumma’s situation, with his current deal expiring next summer.

However, he has admitted that a move will be difficult to pull off without Champions League football.
Brown and BoyleSports were speaking about Club World Cup odds, he said: "I really like Rodrygo, he will want to play in the Champions League but it would be a dream to see him at Manchester United.
"Not just the nature of playing in the Champions League but the finances that brings, he will want to be among the best in the world if he is to leave Real Madrid.
"Although it will be hard for Manchester United to get him, stranger things have happened in football and maybe that’s where the Bruno Fernandes money could be reinvested.
"It would be a dream move but it is unlikely."

Speaking to BoyleSports, who offer the latest Club World Cup odds, Brown said: "When Jadon Sancho has got the ball, he's excellent.
"We’ve seen him cause havoc in some games because his ball control is so good, but under Ruben Amorim he’d have to show more.
"I can’t see him coming back to Old Trafford with that consistency in his game.
"He will want to be starting games wherever he is and I can’t see that under Amorim."
Manchester United have been warned not to make the same mistake with Kobbie Mainoo that they did with Scott McTominay by former player Wes Brown.
The Red Devils sold the Scottish midfielder only for him to lead Napoli to the Serie A title.
Speaking to BoyleSports, who offer the latest Club World Cup odds, Brown said: “Man United need to avoid their Scott McTominay mistake with Kobbie Mainoo.
“With Scott, I always thought he should’ve been played further forward because although he is a big lad, he has so much energy and that was wasted when he was a holding midfielder.
“I just hope that Ruben Amorim tries Mainoo out in a few different positions because he is so good on the ball and technically gifted.
“I'm sure he'll be disappointed he's not played as much this season, I just hope he gets more game time and can prove to the manager what he can do. He is an England international for a reason and can be a big success for United for years to come.”

Ian Wright has shared his views on Manchester United's chase of Bryan Mbeumo.
The Arsenal legend hopes that the forward is ready for the increased attention that comes with playing for the club.
When you saw it, like obviously Ivan Toney took all the plaudits at Brentford, but when you watched him then and watched the, you’re looking at it now and it’s more consistent, and you think, yeah.
It’s the only thing I’m surprised about with him, is that he’s only 26.
You know something, if he goes to United I think that he’s somebody that, if he gets in the moments that he’s had for Brentford, for United, he will then realise where he is.
Because he goes to another level with the attention from United.
Ian WrightMarcus Rashford is gaining interest from Serie A giants Inter Milan.
The forward spent the second half of the season on loan at Aston Villa, with his red-hot form securing him a place back in the England squad.
Sources close to Rashford told SunSport he doesn’t see a future at Old Trafford under Ruben Amorim.
The pair reportedly fell out last season with the Portuguese manager unhappy with Rashford’s attitude during training and off the field.
And that means Rashford is frantically searching for a new club, which has put Inter Milan on red-alert.
The Italian giants are looking to rebuild their side in the wake of the Champions League final demolition at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain.
Manchester United have opened talks with Brentford for star forward Bryan Mbeumo, according to reports.
The Cameroon international, 25, has indicated that he wants to move to Old Trafford this summer.
Brentford are willing to let their former record signing leave this summer, but won't flog him on the cheap.
According to Sky Sports, United have "established contact" with the Bees ahead of making a formal bid.
Mbeumo has attracted interest from the likes of Tottenham, Newcastle and Arsenal this summer.
Bruno Fernandes has opened up on his collapsed move to Al-Hilal.
The midfielder turned down the Saudi outfit and has spoken about the transfer while on international duty.
He said: “There was an opportunity.
"The president called me and asked if I wanted to go there.
"They were waiting for me. I spoke to coach [Ruben] Amorim. He asked me not to go.
"Manchester United didn’t want to sell me. They don’t need the money. If I had wanted to leave, they would have made it happen.
"Al Hilal were very kind. They spoke to my agent. Then I spoke to my wife. She asked: 'What do you want to do?' She always supports my decisions.
"It would have been easy to move there. I know the Portuguese players there very well. But I want to play at the highest level and compete for major titles.
"I can do that, and I still want to. I’m very passionate about football.”
Fans declared “you couldn’t pay me to wear it” after Manchester United’s new third kit was leaked online.
The Red Devils are looking to make amends after enduring a miserable campaign both domestically and abroad.
However, any supporter looking to find solace in United’s new third kit will be left sorely disappointed.
That’s after fellow fans hit out at the latest design for the alternative jersey, which features a bizarre black-and-yellow colour combination.
Manchester United have been urged to consider appointing Jurgen Klopp as manager if Ruben Amorim leaves the club.
Former Arsenal star Martin Keown believes that Klopp would be able to perform an "incredible job" at Old Trafford.
He said: "Just look at the number of games they’ve lost.
"It’s going to be a very interesting start to next season for them but they could do a lot worse than go and get Jurgen Klopp to manage their football club.
"I’m not trying to sensationalise.
"I believe he could do an incredible job there and I believe they need somebody with more experience than the current manager."
