The summer transfer window remains open until the New Year, and Manchester United<\/a> could still make last-minute moves before Monday’s 7pm deadline.<\/p>\n Ruben Amorim<\/a> has already welcomed four new signings, but the focus now shifts to outgoings. Jadon Sancho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia are all yet to secure moves, while Alejandro Garnacho<\/a> and Rasmus Hojlund<\/a> are closing in on moves to Chelsea<\/a> and Napoli respectively.<\/p>\n Off the pitch, United face Burnley at home in the Premier League<\/a> this afternoon (3pm) before the first international break next month. On their return, they will head to the Etihad Stadium for the Manchester derby on September 14.<\/p>\n With the transfer deadline fast approaching, MEN Sport rounds up the latest headlines in and around Old Trafford.<\/p>\n Antony ‘twist’<\/p>\n According to BBC Sport’s Simon Stone,<\/a> Real Betis have withdrawn their offer for Antony. Sky Sports<\/a> had previously reported that United had accepted a bid from the Spanish club and that the winger had been given permission to travel to Spain to discuss personal terms.<\/p>\n However, Stone adds that Betis ‘cannot afford a fee’ or the wages Antony<\/a> is set to receive.<\/p>\n MEN Sport says: <\/strong>If accurate, this bombshell is certainly not the news United would have hoped for, with just three days remaining in the transfer window. One potential alternative could be to structure Antony’s move as another loan, which might be more financially feasible for Betis while still allowing United to keep some control over the player’s long-term future.<\/p>\n Such an arrangement could offer a compromise that works for both the club and the player, while leaving the option for a permanent deal open in the future, should finances permit.<\/p>\n Mainoo ‘contract’<\/p>\n The Mirror<\/a> claims Napoli have prepared a four-year contract for Kobbie Mainoo, who has reputedly informed United that he wants a permanent move to Serie A.<\/p>\n However, United have so far resisted the deal, wary of a repeat of Scott McTominay\u2019s<\/a> remarkable resurgence after leaving the club.<\/p>\n MEN Sport says: <\/strong>Mainoo possesses immense potential and at just 20-years-old, remains a very young talent with a high ceiling. Resisting offers decision for the midfielder until Monday’s deadline would be a wise move, particularly given Amorim\u2019s recent comments expressing a desire for him to stay.<\/p>\n Despite the Mirror report, the Manchester Evening News understands United will resist letting Mainoo leave before the transfer window closes on Monday night<\/a>. Keeping a player of his calibre could prove crucial for the club\u2019s long-term plans, allowing him to develop further while providing depth and creativity in midfield.<\/p>\n —<\/p>\n Sky Sports discounted Premier League and EFL package<\/p>\n This article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it.
