A Champions League club have prepared a strategy for how they will approach a transfer for one of Ruben Amorim’s first-team Manchester United players at Old Trafford.
Ruben Amorim is expected to have a busy summer transfer window, despite the Red Devils’ relatively slow progress with targets for the Manchester United manager.
United added Matheus Cunha from Wolves in June after the Red Devils signed the 26-year-old Brazil international after activating his £62.5m release clause.
Matheus Cunha has been United’s marquee summer signing, with Diego Leon also arriving at Old Trafford this summer after agreeing to the move back in January.
United also landed teenager Enzo Kana-Biyik from French side Le Havre last week, but the 18-year-old France youth international was immediately loaned back out.
The Red Devils have been linked with signing a new midfielder and a striker amid United’s pursuit of Bryan Mbeumo, who was deemed a key target alongside Cunha.
Fenerbahce’s transfer plan for Barcelona target Marcus Rashford amid a potential reunion with ex-Man Utd manager Jose Mourinho
Marcus Rashford has been training alone at Manchester United at the Carrington training complex after his loan spell with Premier League side Aston Villa ended.
The 27-year-old Red Devils player is no longer part of Ruben Amorim’s United first-team plans and he is expected to be left behind for the upcoming pre-season tour.
Rashford fell out of favour with Amorim and the United forward was loaned out to Aston Villa back in February after his Old Trafford spell took a turn for the worse.
The former Villa player has attracted transfer interest in the summer window, but it is believed that Rashford is holding out for Barcelona to make a move for him.
Sport Witness cites a report from Turkish newspaper Hurriyet that Fenerbahce are now ready to ‘patiently wait until August’ to try and sign Rashford from United.
It is believed that last season’s Super Lig runners-up believe that they can land a better deal for Rashford rather than paying out a fee of ‘around €45m’ now.
Jose Mourinho’s ‘position’ on Man Utd and England player Marcus Rashford amid Fenerbahce’s transfer strategy
Marcus Rashford played under Fenerbahce manager Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford and has been tipped for a reunion with the ‘Special One’ in Turkey this summer.
Fenerbahce finished behind arch-rivals Galatasaray in the Super Lig title race last season and the Turkish outfit want to reinforce Jose Mourinho’s attacking options.
The Super Lig side are believed to be confident over a potential Rashford move due to Mourinho’s connection with the player and the opportunity for the United talent to play in the Champions League next season.
However, Fenerbahce still face a tall order in beating Barcelona in signing Rashford, with the Camp Nou seen as a ‘dream’ destination for the United and England player.
According to Sport Witness’ report, former United manager Mourinho reportedly wants the reunion with Rashford and wants Fenerbahce to secure a deal for him.
Rashford is under contract with United until 2028 and the Three Lions international has been valued at around £40m amid the interest from Fenerbahce and Barcelona.
