Saturday's Manchester United transfer talk news roundup: Thiago Alcantara, Fred, Paul Pogba

Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for Manchester United on Saturday, August 29.

The summer transfer window has now begun, with rumours and speculation continuing to swirl as Manchester United eye possible reinforcements.

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.

Saturday morning's Manchester United transfer talk news roundup:


Liverpool 'have deadline to complete Thiago Alcantara deal'

Liverpool reportedly have just over one week to complete a deal for Bayern Munich's Thiago Alcantara.

The 29-year-old is out of contract at the Allianz Arena next summer and is widely expected to leave the European champions in the current transfer window.

Liverpool have been strongly linked with the Spain international, although Bayern chief Karl-Heinz Rummenigge recently insisted that the Reds have not been in contact over a potential move.

Jurgen Klopp's side are believed to be interested, but according to Varsky Sports, the Premier League champions only have just over one week to close a deal for the experienced midfielder.

Thiago was in impressive form for treble-winning Bayern during the 2019-20 campaign, scoring three times and contributing two assists in 40 appearances in all competitions.

Manchester United and Arsenal have also previously been mentioned as potential suitors.



Galatasaray 'want to sign Fred from Manchester United'

Galatasaray are reportedly interested in signing Manchester United midfielder Fred during this summer's transfer window.

The 27-year-old was a regular for the Red Devils during the 2019-20 campaign, contributing two goals and four assists in 48 appearances in all competitions.

The Brazilian is behind Paul Pogba, Nemanja Matic and Bruno Fernandes in the pecking order at Old Trafford, though, and did not play in any of the club's final three Premier League games of the 2019-20 season.

According to Fotomac, Galatasaray are keen to improve their midfield this summer and have identified Fred as a potential arrival in the current market.

The report claims that the Turkish giants are keen on a permanent deal but could also propose a loan offer to the 20-time English champions.

Fred still has three years left to run on his contract with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side.
