Manchester United could use one of Sergio Romero and Dean Henderson, as well as Diogo Dalot, as make weights in a deal to sign Aston Villa star Jack Grealish, according to reports.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants to make improvements to his squad this summer to build on his side's potential and would ideally like to add a winger and playmaker to his attacking ranks.
While United's focus is currently on signing Borussia Dortmund wide man Jadon Sancho, Grealish has also been identified as a top target to fulfil the attacking-midfielder role.
Earlier this year United decided to prioritise the 24-year-old over James Maddison, whose new four-year deal at Leicester was finally announced earlier this week, and informed Villa of their interest in him back in February to try and steal a march on any potential competitors. There was hope he could be available for a cut-price if the Midlands club were relegated.
However, due in large part to Grealish's excellent performances, Villa managed to stay up on the final day of the season and they are now under little pressure to sell their captain as his contract runs until 2023.
According to the Daily Mail, Grealish has moved back into focus for United as talks with Dortmund over Sancho have reached a standstill and have spoken to Villa this week about the transfer.
The Villans are said to be willing to let Grealish leave if their £75million valuation is met but United could try and lower the price by offering players in exchange.

Meanwhile, Galatasaray are reportedly keen to take United midfielder Fred on loan.

themanchestereveningnews--2020-08-27--Man City willing to give Barca two players to sign Messi and more rumours

Manchester City would reportedly be willing to use Eric Garcia and Angelino as make weights in a deal to sign Lionel Messi , if they ca n't get the Barcelona star on a free .
Messi shocked the football world on Tuesday night as it emerged that he had informed Barcelona that he wants to leave the club in the wake of their humiliating 8-2 defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League .
The six-time Ballon d'Or winner has asked the club 's hierarchy to honour a clause in his contract that allows him to leave the club for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but it does n't seem like it will be as simple as that .
The date for the clause to be activated passed in June but Messi 's camp believe that it is still valid due to the elongated nature of the season .
Barca disagree and will only allow their record goal scorer to leave if his 700 euro million release clause is met .
So his future remains uncertain .
City were immediately installed as the favourites to sign Messi following the bombshell announcement and , according to ESPN , they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ even if he is n't available on a free .
It 's claimed that the Blues would consider spending between €100 and €150 million to prise him away from the Camp Nou and that they could include players in the deal , namely Barca targets Garcia and Angelino .

Manchester City would reportedly be willing to use Eric Garcia and Angelino as make weights in a deal to sign Lionel Messi, if they can't get the Barcelona star on a free.
Messi shocked the football world on Tuesday night as it emerged that he had informed Barcelona that he wants to leave the club in the wake of their humiliating 8-2 defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
The six-time Ballon d'Or winner has asked the club's hierarchy to honour a clause in his contract that allows him to leave the club for nothing at the end of the season but it doesn't seem like it will be as simple as that.
The date for the clause to be activated passed in June but Messi's camp believe that it is still valid due to the elongated nature of the season. Barca disagree and will only allow their record goal scorer to leave if his 700 euro million release clause is met. So his future remains uncertain.

Elsewhere, Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci has turned down the chance to join City, according to reports.
Despite having already signed Nathan Ake, City want to bring in another centre-back this summer and the club have repeatedly been linked with the Italian in the past.

Napoli's Kalidou Koulibaly is the City's top target this summer.

themanchestereveningnews--2020-08-27--Plans to demolish 250-year-old Northern Quarter cottages thrown out

Controversial plans to demolish 250-year-old cottages to build new flats in the Northern Quarter have been thrown out by Manchester ’ s planning committee .
Residents , councillors and heritage experts had called for the city council to protect the three listed buildings at 42-50 Thomas Street , seen as a key link to the city ’ s industrial past .
Objections to the proposals came from across Manchester , the wider city-region and even as far as the Netherlands .
Landowner Real Estate Investments Partnership had hoped to act on planning permission granted in 2017 for a five-storey block @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or restaurant below .
The scheme also included the restoration of 7 Kelvin Street , a Grade II listed building at the back of the site .
But before work could begin the Thomas Street cottages were also granted Grade II listed status by Heritage England .

Piccadilly councillor Jon-Connor Lyons , speaking against the demolition , said the objection from Heritage @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I ’ ve seen ’ .

But every member of the planning committee , apart from the abstaining chair Councillor Basil Curley , voted against the demolition plans .
Councillor Jill Lovecy said : “ I feel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a planning committee not to give very , very great weight to the preservation of unique historic assets in our city .

But every member of the planning committee, apart from the abstaining chair Councillor Basil Curley, voted against the demolition plans.
Councillor Jill Lovecy said: “I feel it is very difficult for us as a planning committee not to give very, very great weight to the preservation of unique historic assets in our city.
“We have lost other weavers’ cottages over time because owners have allowed them to become derelict buildings and not savable.”

Prosecutors told how a warrant was executed by police at Ryan's home in August 2018.
Devices were seized, and within the indecent images children aged from 12 to 16 were depicted.
Some of images had been downloaded a decade earlier, prosecutor Joshua Bowker said.
The majority of the images were of category C, the least serious of the different categories under the law.

He suffered financial problems which had led him to experiencing depression and anxiety, and later had his house repossessed.
Then in 2011 his mother died 'unexpectedly', and that sent him 'completely over the edge', Ms Hussain said.
He became a 'recluse', the court was told, and downloaded music, TV programs and films as well as indecent images when he worked from home.
"In such a dark place, this was the only thing that brought him some comfort," Ms Hussain said.
