Man United line up Marc Guehi swap deal
Manchester United have turned their attention to England Euro 2024 defender Marc Guehi, having failed to reach an agreement with Everton for Jarrad Branthwaite. TEAMTalk claim that Crystal Palace are braced for offers this summer for Guehi, who is valued at £50million by the Selhurst Park hierarchy. United, who are operating with a restricted summer transfer budget, would rather lower that figure by offering a player in exchange. And they are prepared to part ways with Aaron Wan- Bissaka in order to land Guehi, who could be offered an emotional return to Palace five years after he departed to Old Trafford.

Manchester City may make zero transfers

City have been linked with Newcastle's Bruno Guimaraes but do not value him at the Brazilian's £100million release clause and the midfielder is not pushing to leave St James' Park.
