Bruno Fernandes reached 10 goal involvements for Manchester United in nine Premier League games, equalling Eric Cantona and Robin van Persie's tally in that time. [opta]

Mason Greenwood has now scored more goals for Manchester United (14) than Alexis Sánchez (5), Radamel Falcao (4), & Ángel Di María (4) combined. Decent.

Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford both reach 20 goals for the season. The first time United players have done it since 2011. Top, top seasons.

Manchester United cannot offer Jude Bellingham regular first-team game time straight away. The prospect of playing in the Champions League with Borussia Dortmund, who have already qualified, is thought to have attracted him. Dortmund don't mind being a stepping stone.

Borussia Dortmund offered Jude Bellingham a five-year contract worth £54,000 a week, considerably more than Manchester United were willing to pay. United were willing to pay more than the typical £5k-£10k a week for a 17 year old, but not the sums on offer in Germany.

Jadon Sancho's contract has never been a problem, and will not be. He would like to join Manchester United..


- Fabrizio Romano

A number of clubs, including Swansea City, Sheffield Wednesday and Queens Park Rangers have been in touch with Manchester United about taking James Garner on loan.

Newcastle, Everton and West Ham are all keeping tabs on Lingards situation, along with Leicester who maintain an interest.

Manchester United are still very interested in doing a deal to sign Jadon Sancho.

It was reported earlier this week that United don’t want to pay Dortmund’s £120m valuation but they are trying to structure a deal that would satisfy all parties.

So as per the example if say Greenwood scored a goal in the 88th min it's not counted as Rash had already been subbed off in the 85th meaning they weren't together. Also say Bruno scored a goal in the 75th min, it's also not counted as it didn't come from these 3.

They started together very few times, most games they were together only in the 2nd half after one of them were subbed in. So if say Martial & Rash start together & Mason is brought on at 60 & Rash is taken off at 85, then it means they've been on field together for 25 mins.

vs Watford 32 mins 0G/A
vs Newcastle 63 mins 4G
vs Arsenal 32 mins 0G/A
vs Tottenham 18 mins 0G/A
vs Sheffield 80 mins 3G/2A
vs Norwich 24 mins 0G/1A
vs Brighton 78 mins 1G/1A

When they've been on together for at least 30 mins they've scored or assisted all but 3 times.

Here's a breakdown of their contributions in every match together chronologically

Opposition / Mins Together / G/A

vs Palace 34 mins 0 G/A
vs Bournemouth 10 mins 0 G/A
vs Partizan 67 mins 3G/2A
vs Sheffield 15 mins 2G/1A
vs Everton 25 mins 1G
vs Colchester 62 mins 2G/1A

They've not played together more due to 2 reasons:

1. Martial & Rashford were injured for many matches that Mason played in

2. Initially when the two weren't injured Mason was being eased into the lineup

When they've been on the field together United have scored 19 goals in total. Meaning they've accounted for 84% of all the goals scored by ManUtd when they're on the field together.

This is incredible numbers.

Some incredible stats about Manchester United Front 3

Rashford, Martial & Mason have been on the field together for just 540 mins this season across 13 games.

In that period they've combined for 16 Goals and 8 assists between them. That's a goal or an assist every 22.5 mins. Ridiculous.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been nominated alongside Steve Bruce, Nuno Espirito Santo and Frank Lampard for the Premier League manager of the month award for June.

Possible money from sales -

1) Smalling - €20 million
2) Sanchez - €15 - €20 million
3) Lingard - €20 million
4) Rojo - €10 million
5) Jones - €15 million

United will also receive a percentage of fee if Zaha is sold this summer.

I hope Jones doesn't survive another summer at United. He's barely fit and error prone whenever he's on the pitch. Probably the first name I'd be taking out of our payroll along with Sanchez next summer.

Manchester United feel it is important for James Garner to play under a manager with similar principles to Solskjær if he is loaned out. Sources say a call would need to be made early so he can be with his new team for the start of pre-season.

Official: Bruno Fernandes and Anthony Martial nominated for June Premier League Player of the Month

Ethan Laird to be promoted to Manchester United first-team training squad with Axel Tuanzebe out until September. Solskjaer: 'Axel we won’t probably see until September. Ethan is going to join the training group now.'

OGS on selection issues: "If there are a couple of changes don't be surprised just because we have got to look after the players. I've got many reasons to play the same team that did so well against Sheff Utd + Brighton but I also have reasons to rotate."

If Solskjaer names an unchanged team tomorrow it will be the first time since October/November 2006 that Manchester United have been unchanged in three consecutive league matches.

Inter have started talks with Chelsea to sign Emerson Palmieri. Antonio Conte wants him as LB for next season after Hakimi. Official bid to be made soon. Blue circle.
