Thursday's Manchester United transfer talk news roundup: Mason Greenwood, Paul Pogba, Kai Havertz

Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for Manchester United on Thursday, July 9.

Manchester United must now turn their attention to the summer transfer window having left their business until late in January.

The Red Devils brought in Bruno Fernandes and Odion Ighalo in the final days of the winter window but are still expected to be active in the summer as they aim to restore their former glories.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news on possible comings and goings from Old Trafford.

Thursday morning's Manchester United transfer talk news roundup:



Kai Havertz 'wants to join Timo Werner, Antonio Rudiger at Chelsea'

Bayer Leverkusen attacker Kai Havertz is reportedly keen to link up with German compatriots Timo Werner and Antonio Rudiger at Chelsea.

Speculation has gathered pace surrounding Havertz's future in recent days, with Chelsea supposedly in pole position to secure the 21-year-old's signature ahead of next season.

The German playmaker will supposedly cost in the region of £90m, however, potentially putting off potential buyers in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.

Nevertheless, The Telegraph reports that Havertz is eyeing up a move to the blue side of London in order to play alongside his international teammates Rudiger and Werner.

Werner will wear the Chelsea colours for the 2020-21 campaign after completing a move from RB Leipzig last month, while Rudiger has turned out 109 times for the Blues since arriving from Roma in 2017.

Havertz, who has also been linked with the likes of Liverpool, Manchester United and Bayern Munich, has registered 17 goals and nine assists for Leverkusen across all competitions this term.


Juventus offered Mason Greenwood 'life changing money' to leave Man United

Juventus were reportedly prepared to offer Manchester United starlet Mason Greenwood a 'life-changing amount of money' to move to Italy.

The 18-year-old has emerged as one of the most exciting young prospects in the English game and can boast 15 goals and five assists across all competitions for United this term.

However, the story could have been a lot different for Greenwood, as The Athletic claims that Juventus were weighing up an approach for the teenager last year.

The Old Lady were supposedly prepared to offer Greenwood a lucrative contract in order to pry him away from Old Trafford, but United were able to persuade the youngster to stay put and continue to fulfil his potential in the Premier League.

The forward still has another three years to run on his current United deal and has made Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's starting XI in United's last three Premier League fixtures.

The Red Devils continue their charge for a top-four finish when they face Aston Villa on Thursday evening.
