They will now return to Chicago to face Bournemouth in the early hours of Thursday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\">The tour wraps up with a final fixture against Everton in Atlanta on Sunday, August 3. Off the pitch, Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo have joined the club from Wolves and Brentford, respectively.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\">With the window only set to close on September 1, <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk\/all-about\/manchester-united-fc\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">United<\/a> look set to explore more opportunities in the transfer market. Signing a new attacker is among the priorities, and with that said, MEN Sport has taken a look at the latest headlines from in and around Old Trafford.<\/p>\n<p>Sesko &#8216;agreement&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\">Fabrizio Romano shared an update on RB Leipzig star Benjamin Sesko on Monday. He suggested there is a gentleman&#8217;s agreement in place between the player and the club.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\">After signing a new contract with Leipzig last summer, Sesko was reportedly told he would be allowed to leave if a suitable offer came in. That offer is believed to be in the region of \u00a360million or more &#8211; a figure that could be within reach for United, provided they are able to offload some of their current players.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\">Meanwhile, Florian Plettenberg in Germany reported that United remain determined to sign the Slovenian striker. The club has already presented Sesko with their financial proposal and outlined their long-term project.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\">Sesko is said to be impressed by what United have put forward, but Newcastle United are still in the race and are preparing to make a formal offer of their own.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\"><strong class=\"Strong_strong__e2x35\">MEN Sport says: <\/strong>Determination and patience will be essential for United as they work to secure a deal with Leipzig. Although a gentleman&#8217;s agreement may exist allowing Benjamin Sesko to leave if a suitable offer is made, Leipzig are under no pressure to sell quickly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\">The reported \u00a360m price tag underscores the need for United to approach negotiations with composure and strategy, avoiding rash decisions or being dragged into a bidding war.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\">However, time is still a factor. United will need to act decisively to avoid losing out, especially with Newcastle closely monitoring the situation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\">With uncertainty surrounding the future of their leading striker, Alexander Isak, Newcastle are preparing alternative options, and Sesko is high on their list. A swift and calculated move from United could prove vital in winning the race.<\/p>\n<p>Garnacho Chelsea latest<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\">According to <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"The TelegraphLink opens in a new tab.\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">The Telegraph<\/a>, Chelsea could still pursue <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk\/all-about\/alejandro-garnacho\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Alejandro Garnacho<\/a> even if they secure the signing of Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\">Garnacho is reportedly viewed as potential competition for Jamie Gittens on the left wing should he make the move to Stamford Bridge. However, for any deal to materialise, the Blues would first need to offload Christopher Nkunku to create space.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\"><strong class=\"Strong_strong__e2x35\">MEN Sport says: <\/strong>This development could be encouraging news for United, who are looking to streamline their squad under new manager Ruben Amorim.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\">Garnacho&#8217;s potential departure, if sanctioned, would help address the club\u2019s need to offload players who may not feature prominently in Amorim\u2019s plans moving forward.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\">Selling players like Garnacho would not only free up valuable squad space but also generate funds that could be reinvested into strengthening key areas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\">United are actively targeting reinforcements in other positions, and successful sales will be crucial in facilitating that rebuild.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\">&#8212;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\">Here at The Manchester Evening News, we are dedicated to bringing you the best <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk\/all-about\/manchester-united-fc\" target=\"\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Manchester United<\/a> coverage and analysis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\">Make sure you don&#8217;t miss out on the latest United news by joining our free WhatsApp group.
