Manchester United's hierarchy will have one eye on their players at the World Cup and the other on the summer transfer window. Twelve players will represent the Red Devils across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, and several targets are also in action.
Mason Greenwood 'Agrees Transfer'
Mason Greenwood is reportedly set to sign for Roma on a permanent transfer. The former United attacker has been prolific for Marseille since joining the Serie A side, scoring 48 goals and assisting 17 times in 81 appearances.
However, the 24-year-old is now keen to move on after the French side failed to qualify for Europe last season. Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport has claimed that Greenwood's wages have already been agreed by Roma, who have identified the right-winger as a key transfer target this summer.
It is understood that the ex-United man will receive £3.9 million annually from the Italian side plus bonuses, and this will increase the longer he stays. Carrick will receive a boost if this deal is confirmed, as the club agreed a 40% sell-on fee as part of his transfer in 2024.
Wayne Rooney Slams 'Strange' Decision
Wayne Rooney is surprised that Luke Shaw hasn't been called up to the England squad upon Tino Livramento's withdrawal due to injury. The Newcastle defender was forced to step down from the World Cup team with a calf issue, and Trevoh Chalobah will replace him.
The Chelsea centre-half will appear at his first World Cup as a result of this news, and Rooney has branded this decision 'strange.' Shaw started every Premier League game for United last season and helped the team qualify for the Champions League.
The veteran defender has 34 caps for England and has represented his country at four major tournaments already - two World Cups and two European Championships.
Thomas Tuchel's decision to call up Chalobah was a surprise to Rooney, who expected Shaw to be the first name for the German to consider. Speaking on his BBC Sport podcast, the ex-England international said: 'It's a bit strange. I would have liked to have seen Luke Shaw. And then Djed Spence maybe being cover for Reece James, and Luke Shaw come in. I'm sure Thomas Tuchel has kept contact with players to stay available, and I'm sure he [Chalobah] was one of those who were available.'
