Manchester United Monitor Rashford and Camavinga
Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea and Arsenal have all expressed interest in signing Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford. The 28‑year‑old is reportedly available this summer, though United are hesitant to strengthen a direct Premier League rival after his loan spell at Barcelona ended without a permanent deal. Rashford is said to prefer a move to a club competing in the Champions League.
In midfield, United are also exploring a move for Real Madrid’s Eduardo Camavinga. According to reports, the Spanish side are now open to offers for the 23‑year‑old France international as United continue their search for another marquee signing following the arrivals of Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans.
Defensive Targets Across the League

Nottingham Forest are close to securing Sporting CP defender Ousmane Diomandé. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano indicates talks are at an advanced stage for the 22‑year‑old Ivory Coast international.
Juventus have also identified West Ham centre‑back Jean‑Clair Todibo as a potential addition to their back line, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
Midfield Situations: Alex Scott and Others
Manchester United have cooled their interest in Brighton’s Carlos Baleba and Bournemouth’s Alex Scott due to high price tags. Teamtalk notes both players have become less attainable for the Red Devils.
Bournemouth, however, remain determined to keep Scott. The Telegraph reports the England Under‑21 midfielder has turned down a new contract, although the Cherries have no intention of selling him despite a £64 million bid from Chelsea being rejected. Bournemouth are said to be holding out for around £80 million, with Manchester United and Arsenal also monitoring the 22‑year‑old.
