Wrapping up the Man Utd transfer news, rumours and gossip in the 2022 summer window.

Ajax reject Man Utd’s £76.3m Antony bid

Ajax have rejected Manchester United’s latest offer of £76.3m (€90m) for Brazil winger Antony.

United have been chasing the 22-year-old for several weeks and saw a £67.9m (€80m) offer rebuffed by the club earlier this week.Antony was omitted from the Ajax squad for last Sunday’s 1-0 win over Sparta Rotterdam, in the latest indication the player wants to move to Old Trafford, but the Eredivisie champions have stood firm against United’s improved offer.

Despite rejecting the latest bid, talks are ongoing between the two clubs, ahead of the transfer deadline on September 1.

Dubravka has been pushed down to the No.2 choice following the arrival of Nick Pope at St James’ Park and wasn’t in the squad for their Carabao Cup tie at Tranmere on Wednesday night.

Manchester United are in the market for a keeper to provide competition for David de Gea and Tom Heaton after Dean Henderson joined Nottingham Forest on loan. It’s thought Dubravka would be open to the move and personal terms are not expected to be a problem.

Dubravka’s representatives are expected to hold face to face talks with Newcastle United officials this week, although both clubs are yet to agree a deal. Dubravka’s Newcastle contract is up in 2025.

Bailly joins Marseille on loan

Eric Bailly has joined Marseille on a season-long loan.

Marseille will cover all of the 28-year-old Ivory Coast international’s wages during his time at the Stade Velodrome.

The Ligue 1 club are obligated to sign Bailly permanently in the summer of 2023 for £5.1million (€6m), subject to appearances and whether Marseille qualify for the Champions League.

Frankfurt goalkeeper Trapp turns down Man Utd

Eintracht Frankfurt keeper Kevin Trapp said on Thursday he had received and rejected an offer to join Manchester United, instead opting to remain at the Europa League champions who are competing in this season’s Champions League group stage.

“There was a lot of talk in the past days about an interest from Manchester United,” Trapp said on social media. “It is correct that I have a written offer.”

“Manchester United are a world class team and that I consider it and think about is something, I am sure, everyone can understand. Yesterday, however, I informed both clubs that I decided for Eintracht.”

United coach Eric Ten Haag is eager to bring in another goalkeeper to add pressure on first choice David de Gea, who was a liability in their 4-0 loss to Brentford this month.

United, who did not qualify for the Champions League this season, have just three points from their first three matches in the Premier League, with two losses and a win, over Liverpool last week.

The 32-year-old Trapp, who played for Paris St Germain between 2015-18, has settled well in Frankfurt since his return, initially on loan in 2018. He has also earned six caps for Germany.
