Harry Maguire to Manchester United has taken a step closer over night. The two clubs are closer to agreeing how the deal will be structured. - Mirror |
McTominay: ”That's the desire from kitchen ladies at Carrington, to the kit men, to the physios to the players and all of the staff and the manager. That's the sole aim of the football club, to get it back to where we want to be. That's the top of the league." - ESPN |
McTominay: "I've tried to train hard and I've always wanted to do extra things to try to give me that 1% difference - the main thing for me is to be ready. Mentally, physically, everything. I need to be ready whenever I'm needed and when I'm asked." - Evening Standard |
Players are doing more gym sessions to toughen up their bodies, and taking part in injury prevention exercises that rotate daily between hamstring, groin and core. |
McTominay: "Regardless of what other signings come in or who plays where, you have to back yourself to be a Manchester United player. That's one thing that I've done over the last two years, I've always backed myself." - Evening Standard |
Richard Hawkins: “The work ethic has been phenomenal. Day one we had a meeting with the players and presented three key points that we wanted from them, to train with intensity, be committed to the process and when they have a chance to recover, to do it well.” |
Mata: “The feeling of being a Manchester United player is so unique, I am very happy to stay here. I am dreaming about winning big trophies at this club. I cannot wait to win a big trophy and celebrate with all the fans because they deserve it.” - BBC |
Compared to the first two weeks of Mourinho's last pre-season, the Manchester United squad have undergone two more sessions, with the total running distance up 10% and high intensity training increased by 50%. Sessions have began with injury prevention exercises, focused on hamstring, groin and core on a daily basis. This is to ensure the players are more robust to cope with Solskjær's plan to implement high-pressing. - Evening Standard |
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has doubled United's pre-season workload compared to last season. The boss is promising a fitter, more robust side to challenge this season. |
Solskjaer was alarmed by the condition of the squad he inherited from Mourinho, who blamed fitness coach Stefano Rapetti. Solskjaer has vowed to whip the players into shape with good, old-fashioned hard graft. |
Shaw: "Pre-season has been very difficult, especially Ole wanting to make sure we work very hard, but the sessions have been great and the match fitness is coming along nicely." |
Shaw: "The fans can expect a much better season than last. This season I'm sure they will be celebrating again, hopefully with trophies at the end of it." |
McTominay: "It's my ambition to be a regular No. 6, No. 8, a box to box player. It's important that I really go for that now. Obviously there is an opportunity there and you've got to take it with both hands." |
Matthijs de Ligt: "Every day there was something new. Suddenly even my father was too fat and that's why one of the clubs [Manchester United] didn't want me. That makes you go ‘come on man’." - Goal |
United have progressed discussions with Lille over the transfer of Nicolas Pepe who is valued at £70m. The funds for the transfer should be secured by Romelu Lukaku’s sale to Inter Milan. - Times |
Rumor has it that; United have agreed £80m with Leicester City for Maguire. |

Ole: “Young players? It is just a matter of seeing them against good teams with the first-team players. We know they are talented. I have no doubt that we will see loads of them this year and the years to come.” |
Solskjær: "I sat next to him [Antonio Conte] at a dinner over the summer and had a great chat. Of course, he was a great player and you can see the way he manages his teams, with the energy he gives the team, both with Italy, Chelsea and probably now Inter as well." |
Solskjær: "Yeah, of course [he admires Antonio Conte]. He is another one who has won the league at Chelsea, the way he played his 3-4-3 system there and the way he utilised Hazard, I think he was the first manager that played that over a season." |
Solskjær: “Fred and Matteo [Darmian] have joined up so let's see where they are at. They have been training by themselves, which is different, so they have joined our training and they might be involved in the game.” |
Solskjær: “I think David [De Gea] is better, he trained to see if he got any reaction. I don't think we are going to see Rom.” |
Solskjær: “It will cause everyone a challenge, of course the humidity, and you lose so much fluid so we have got to be very good at replacing that fluid when we work. It is another stepping stone on the pre-season and when they feel this they will feel good after.” |
Ole: “Us as a team together and if the focus is right, everyone has been spot on this season and when they're out on the pitch you can't fault anyone. When we've got meetings they’re more proactive in meetings so I’m very encouraged." - MEN |

Steve Bruce on Longstaff: “He’s the type of player you want to build your team around, I’ve only seen him for a day, but he has had an unbelievable rise. Very much reminds me of a Michael Carrick. I’m not aware that he’s going to United, I’m not aware of that at all.” - MEN |
