The Rumour MillManchester United's Midfield Hunt Exposes a Rebuild Being Made Up as They Go
Manchester United have already spent £83m on Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans this summer, but Casemiro's exit and Manuel Ugarte's knee injury have forced Michael Carrick to chase a third midfielder.

Breaking NewsCasemiro's Miami Move Exposes What Manchester United Really Thought Of Him

Tottenham have rejected a €55m Newcastle bid for Lucas Bergvall and want £60m or more, but even that fee wouldn't crack Newcastle's top three all-time transfers.
