Midfield priority area on list for summer recruitment at #MUFC. Ryan Gravenberch, at Ajax, is one who has been scouted. But Bayern Munich believed to be frontrunners for 19-year-old.
It's true that Bayern are following Haaland's situation, but they are not willing to pay the total package of up to €300m (fee, wages, commissions). City are already offering Haaland a gross salary of €35m/year while Bayern's internal salary cap is €25m [@kerry_hau@berger_pj]

Manchester United players + staff have five days off then international break. Period now crucial for #MUFC to properly scrutinise manager candidates + become convinced of choice. Club considering Chelsea position re Thomas Tuchel. Ten Hag still front runner @TheAthleticUK
@FabrizioRomano
Paris Saint-Germain have not proposed any contract extension to Angél Di Maria as of today. Situation still quiet, Di Maria has now huge chances to leave the club as free agent, as @CLMerlo confirms #PSG
@berger_pj
Manchester United, FC Arsenal and Newcastle are interested in Moussa Diaby. The French winger from Bayer Leverkusen (16 goals/9 assists this seasons) has no release clause. Price tag: €60m. As a potential successor Bayer monitoring Carles Pérez from AS Roma. @SPORT1
| The first in person meeting between Erik ten Hag, John Murtough and Richard Arnold is set to go ahead in Amsterdam on Monday 21 of March. #MUFC are expected to offer the managerial role to ETH with the view that he will accept. @zeeshanclvx.
| Tchouameni is more likely to move to the Premier League with Real Madrid placing their focus on Mbappe and Haaland [complicated at the moment]. @jfelixdiaz
Aurélien Tchouaméni is aiming for the Premier League, and Real Madrid know that could be his destination. #mufc and Liverpool have asked for the player and he would not see the option of a move there badly. [@jfelixdiaz]
— #mufc are 'very hot' on the trail of Christopher Nkunku. His current deal expires in 2024 and it does not include a release clause. A fee of at least €75m would be needed to take him away from Leipzig. PSG are also interested #mujournal [BILD]
Cristiano Ronaldo has decided to fulfil the remaining year of his #mufc contract. He is confident that United will make the right choice for the next manager #mulive [@Manu_Sainz]
People close to the #MUFC board say they know how important the decision of the new manager will be - the impact on this choice, even on players, transfer strategy etc. @FabrizioRomano
This manager will have to have a good relationship with Ralf Rangnick - he will be a consultant of the board, he’s gonna be apart of club decisions, this is why Ralf will be involved in this process. (transfers too) @FabrizioRomano#MUFC
@ZachLowy
Juventus have reached an agreement to sign Antonio Rüdiger on a free transfer, with the German signing a contract through 2026, per @Gazzetta_it.
Manchester United are eyeing Dundee United’s goalkeeper Benjamin Siegrist as they seek more cover. United keeper scout Tony Coton watched Siegrist against Celtic. He will be a free agent this summer. #MUFC [@reluctantnicko]

Nicolás Tagliafico: “Barça? The deal was complicated for the club in January - but I think that now, in June, it will be easier”, he told TNT Sport. #FCB Tagliafico has new agents now - and he’s leaving Ajax for sure this summer.
