Let\u2019s start with a disclaimer: today\u2019s Rumour Mill may contain some Manchester United. Because, as has been the case for at least 11 years now, everyone knows United are just two or three signings away from being a real force \u2013 promise! Except, if Big Sir Jim Ratcliffe is to sanction any more incomings this summer, they will be very late additions, as shipping players out of Old Trafford is an urgent priority.<\/p>\n
Rasmus H\u00f8jlund<\/strong> looks to be en route to Napoli where he will, no doubt, channel his inner Scott McTominay<\/a> and emerge as Ballon d\u2019Or-contending world-beater. RB Leipzig, Atalanta and Milan are also lurking with intent around the Dane, but Naples on a loan-with-option-to-buy style deal is the likeliest destination. We are all told Alejandro Garnacho<\/strong> will join Chelsea but time is running out for him to actually join Chelsea. Antony<\/strong> has long been expected to return to Real Betis, but apparently Bayern Munich are mulling over a shock swoop for the Brazilian. And Kobbie Mainoo<\/strong> is the latest of United\u2019s hitherto hyped youngsters to be linked with the exit, with some reports claiming at least 10 clubs have been alerted to the midfielder\u2019s situation. Mainoo has played zero minutes so far this season and is considering his next move.<\/p>\n Away from Old Trafford, Newcastle\u2019s pursuits of Yoane Wissa <\/strong>and J\u00f8rgen Strand Larsen<\/strong> continue apace, a pace possibly hastened by Anthony Gordon\u2019s red card against Liverpool<\/a> and forthcoming suspension. There\u2019s another striker who may leave St James\u2019 Park for the Reds before the window SLAMS shut on 1 September, but his name escapes us.<\/p>\n Chelsea are finally shedding themselves of some unwanted talent. Unlike Jadon Sancho, Tyrique George<\/strong> doesn\u2019t consider a switch to Roma beneath him; Axel Disasi<\/a><\/strong> might fancy Bournemouth<\/a> but whether anyone fancies Raheem Sterling <\/strong>or Ben Chilwell<\/strong> remains to be seen. The Blues are waiting to see if RB Leipzig want Christopher Nkunku<\/strong> back and, if they do, Xavi Simons<\/strong> will move in the opposite direction.<\/p>\n Speaking of Leipzig, they could come in for Liverpool\u2019s Harvey Elliott <\/strong>in the next couple of days. Kostas Tsimikas<\/strong> is another heading for the Anfield exit door with Roma \u2013 perennially and mercifully picking up the Premier League\u2019s old bits and pieces \u2013 set to land the left-back on loan.<\/p>\n Wrexham are keen to further flex their muscles in the market and have reportedly opened talks with Rennes for the Wales international Jordan James<\/strong>. <\/strong>Southampton\u2019s Will Smallbone<\/strong>, valued at \u00a37.5m, is also on their shopping list.<\/p>\n skip past newsletter promotion<\/a><\/p>\n Sign up to Football Daily<\/p>\n Kick off your evenings with the Guardian’s take on the world of football<\/p>\n Privacy Notice: <\/strong>Newsletters may contain info about charities, online ads, and content funded by outside parties.

The Red Bull-swilling snipesman remains without a club after leaving his beloved Leicester and, despite having been touted for Celtic (it would make sense), he could now be set for the Serie A new boys Cremonese. The Vardy Party is going global! Maybe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Let\u2019s start with a disclaimer: today\u2019s Rumour Mill may contain some Manchester United.
