Manchester United transfer news LIVE: Jadon Sancho, Ousmane Dembele, Amad Traore - plus Premier League latest

Time is running out for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to add quality before the deadline

Jadon Sancho scores cheeky Panenka penalty in England training

The situation surrounding Ousmane Dembele is fast developing. After initially appearing to be a contingency or even a rumour designed to heighten pressure on Borussia Dortmund concerning Manchester United’s Jadon Sancho interest, the French winger is now having doubts about his future at the Nou Camp. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants a new winger before next Monday’s deadline that much is clear, and if Dembele is eager to move to Old Trafford, then the price and affordability will be considerably better than the Sancho deal.

Previous alternatives have been Watford’s Ismaila Sarr, while Edinson Cavani and now Luka Jovic - the Real Madrid striker who is eager to leave the Bernabeu - represent new options as No 9s. Dayot Upamecano could become available after RB Leizpig took major steps towards signing a new centre-back, is a compelling target too, but time will likely run out on such a deal. Then there have been shock talks of a move for N’Golo Kante from Chelsea - though his wages could become an issue.

Reports in Croatia suggest a £17m deal has been agreed for Dinamo Zagreb’s Josko Gvardiol, meaning Leipzig have a ready-made replacement should United capture Upamecano. While exits at Old Trafford remain intriguing with Sergio Romero a potential signing for Everton with Carlo Ancelotti unhappy with Jordan Pickford. Lazio could take Juan Mata and Andres Pereira off United as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looks to trim down his squad. Follow all the latest news, rumours and done deals below.

UNITED HAVE TO PAY DEMBELE’S WAGES

Manchester United are pursuing Barcelona’s Ousmane Dembele in the hopes of bringing him to Old Trafford on a season long loan. 

While initially against the prospect of a move Dembele and Barcelona are reportedly more open willing to make a deal. 

As part of that United will be forced to pay the entirety of Dembele's wages if they sign the Frenchman on loan according to reports.

The Sun report Barcelona are unwilling to accept anything less than the loaning club paying 100 per cent of his £215,000-per-week wages if he leaves temporarily.

That price is quite high considering Dembele is viewed as an emergency loan option if United fail to secure Jadon Sancho's signature in the coming days.

UNITED EYE ATALANTA SENSATION

Manchester United are keen on Atalanta wonderkid Amad Traore, report the MEN.

The 18-year-old is one of the hottest prospects in Serie A and could emerge as an alternative should a deal for Jadon Sancho prove beyond them in this window. 

The Ivorian is yet to become a permanent fixture in the first team for La Dea, but with £29.7m the fee charged to Juventus for Dejan Kulusevski, United are unlikely to find a bargain here either.
