• Man United likely out of race for £75 million attacker

Latest on Manchester United Transfers – August 3

The pursuit of Iliman Ndiaye has hit a roadblock after Everton set a £75 million price tag on August 2. This valuation appears beyond Manchester United's current budget, leaving Al-Hilal as favourites to sign the Senegalese forward despite Ndiaye's preference to stay in Europe.

On a more positive note, United have shown interest in adding midfield depth by targeting Juventus’s Teun Koopmeiners. The Dutch international, who joined Juventus from Atalanta BC for £42.7 million in 2024, is also being chased by Aston Villa.

Koopmeiners struggled for consistent playing time last season at Juventus, starting just 18 of 33 Serie A matches. Manchester United's need for another central midfielder has become more pressing due to Manuel Ugarte’s prolonged knee injury.

Reports indicate United are exploring options including Arsenal's Myles Lewis-Skelly, valued near £38.5 million, as an alternative to Newcastle’s Lewis Hall. Still, Arsenal reportedly has no plans to sell the 19-year-old.

The inquiry into Francisco Conceicao remains active alongside the Koopmeiners interest. The Portuguese winger is available for between £34 million and £42 million, making him a realistic option after the Ndiaye deal stalled.

The situation involving Real Madrid's Aurelien Tchouameni is being watched closely. Manchester United appear to be waiting for confirmation that Rodri’s move to Real will open the door for Tchouameni’s availability.
