Bruno Fernandes update
The Red Devils find themselves in a spot of bother, with no European football to offer players and no big income to go with that, targets such as Liam Delap are going elsewhere.
One player they may have to say goodbye to is captain and star player Bruno Fernandes.
The Portuguese midfielder is of interest to Saudi club Al Hilal, who are looking to acquire him from United for around £100 million.
However, sources are indicating that Fernandes keeps complicating the deal, as he keeps making changes on his demands to join the club.
There is still a chance that another club comes swooping for Bruno, with a side like PSG having the resources to sign United’s captain, although right now there is no evidence they hold any interest.
Utd have already started to prepare for life after Bruno, as well.
Sporting CP’s Pedro Goncalves stepped up in the absence of Bruno at Sporting, with Utd potentially looking for him to do the same for them at Old Trafford.
Despite interest from around Europe, Crystal Palace are not ready to let go of their star.
With European football to offer, Eze may be tempted to stay in London for another season, with Palace wanting him to sign a new contract.
As revealed earlier, Bayern Munich are circling for Eze, after the success they had with Olise.
Premier League sides Arsenal, Tottenham and Man City are all also interested in the 26-year-old.
While Palace can offer Europa League, all four of those sides could offer Eze Champions League football next season.

…Bayern might have to do it twice!
According to Football Insider, Bayern Munich are looking to go shopping at Crystal Palace once again this summer.
Michael Olise made the switch from south London to Munich last summer, and has been a revelation for the German side, as they recaptured the Bundesliga title from Bayer Leverkusen.
With Florian Wirtz likely to be on his way to Liverpool, Bayern now turn their attention to other targets, with Eberechi Eze a potential target for the side.
The success of Olise may play a part in their decision, as the pair linked up very well at Palace last season.

United’s under-achievers warned
EXCLUSIVE: Ruben Amorim is ready to get tough with his Manchester United flops as he chases a flying start next season.
The Red Devils boss wants to take a hardline pre-season approach in his quest to turn his “chokers” into Champions League material, with jobs — including his own — on the line.
And the Portuguese is determined that a lack of fitness will not be an excuse for his squad, in the wake of a disastrous campaign last time out — the club’s worst since the relegation season of 1973-74.
SunSport understands Amorim has delivered a list of instructions to ensure United are in top shape for the new Prem season, which starts on the weekend of August 16.
It is believed non-international players could return to the club’s Carrington HQ earlier than normal, with a suggestion some may be back training by the end of THIS month.
Amorim wants fitness levels to be sky high, demanding that players hit personal bests by mid-July.
And if they fail to achieve those targets then they face being sidelined from his United revolution.
Boss Amorim has also told his squad they need to be fitter than ever because he wants them to be all over their opponents “like white on rice” from day one next season.
