Good evening, Manchester United fans. Here are your evening headlines on Monday, July 27.
Record fee needed to land Sancho
Borussia Dortmund are reportedly refusing to budge on their asking price for Jadon Sancho, ensuring Manchester United are unlikely to be able to land the winger for anything less than a club-record fee.
Dortmund want more than £100million for the England international, who ended the last Bundesliga season with 17 goals and 16 assists, while United value the winger at closer to £80m.
The club’s current record signing, Paul Pogba, cost £89.3 million from Juventus in 2016 and he is one of three United signings to have been purchased for more than £70m – Harry Maguire and Romelu Lukaku are the other two.
MEN Sport understands Sancho, who spent time at Watford and Manchester City before moving to Germany as a teenager, is United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s number one target this summer.
Talks held over Henderson’s future
Dean Henderson was one of the breakout performers of the Premier League season, helping newly-promoted Sheffield United clinch a top-half finish and threaten the European places for much of the campaign.
And with David de Gea guilty of several high-profile errors, there has been growing clamour for Manchester United to integrate the youngster into their first-team set-up upon his return from that impressive loan move.
There has also been reported interest from elsewhere, but United have now opened talks with the goalkeeper over his long-term future.
Henderson is currently under contract at Old Trafford until 2022, but Chelsea have been linked with a swoop, while Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho is believed to be a fan of the 23-year-old.
He joined United at the age of 14 but is yet to make a single senior competitive game for the club.

United handed Grealish deadline
Aston Villa manager Dean Smith has insisted the club wants to be certain of Jack Grealish’s future within the next month amid interest from Manchester United.
The Villa captain has been on United’s radar for some time and is unlikely to be available at a knock-down price, having scored the goal at West Ham which ensured his club’s Premier League survival.
Smith said Grealish’s future “will all be sorted over the next month,” after a 1-1 draw at the London Stadium - coupled with Watford’s defeat at Arsenal - kept last year’s Championship play-off winners afloat.
The former England under-21 midfielder struck eight goals in the top flight this season and was Villa’s top scorer in all competitions with 10. The numbers represented the 24-year-old’s best goalscoring return of his career.
And, while Premier League clubs have until October 5 to seal new signings in the summer transfer window, Smith’s comments suggest any departure for Grealish would need to be wrapped up much sooner.

themanchestereveningnews--2020-07-27--Why Man City aren't lured by transfer target Ferran Torres' goals and assists

Whoever has responsibility for the cheque book at the Etihad Stadium is certain to be busy this summer .
Manchester City ’ s need for reinforcements is clear , and with Pep Guardiola expected to overhaul his squad ahead of the 2020/21 season , no time is being wasted identifying targets .
The MEN reported that City are keen on Ferran Torres , with Eurosport claiming Valencia have already rejected an initial offer for the young winger.Other reports claim that personal terms have already been agreed .
But if a deal is struck , what would he bring to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have ?
Why has Guardiola prioritised his signing ?
Is Torres really good enough to take City closer to Liverpool at the top of the Premier League table next season ?
And would the expected €30m to €40m City would have to pay for him be worth it ?
There would be a lot of pressure on his shoulders , but the City boss has a reputation for putting his trust in talented youngsters .
Torres finished the 2019/20 season with six goals and seven assists for Valencia in all competitions .
Two @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Champions League .
However , it ’ s not his statistics that are the lure for Guardiola .
In fact , Torres ’ numbers for the past two seasons are underwhelming , finishing the 2018/19 season with two goals and a single assist .
What is appealing about Torres is the way he involves himself in the build-up play of his team .
Specifically , he has a natural tendency to drift inside to link up with centrally positioned team-mates .
This , as a by-product , creates space on the wings for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Guardiola is known to be a fan of .
As you would expect of a Guardiola target , Torres is comfortable with the ball at his feet , but he doesn ’ t keep possession for the sake of it .
This is a midfielder who likes to take risks .
That can often mean his pass success rate isn ’ t high , but Torres ’ role in the team is to break defensive lines and position himself in awkward positions between the opposition defence and midfield .
This season saw him @ @ @ @ @ @ @ third , but he still has work to do in this regard if he is to become a key figure for a team of City ’ s calibre .
That said , the Spaniard need look no further than how Raheem Sterling arrived at the Etihad five years ago amid similar criticism of his game .
Under Guardiola , Sterling has become one of English football ’ s most reliable goalscorers , netting 29 times this season .
Torres is also capable of playing in a number of positions across the midfield and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ appealing .
He could help City build the sort of interchangeable attacking line Guardiola always looks for .
He might even be most effective in a central role , such is his dexterity and all-round vision .
Torres is far from the finished product .
He might not be the player to help City make up 18 points on Liverpool next season , but he is a Guardiola-type player and has time on his side .
His arrival this summer would reflect the control the Catalan coach has at the Etihad and how @ @ @ @ @ @ @ great team , even if things don ’ t come together straight away .

Torres finished the 2019/20 season with six goals and seven assists for Valencia in all competitions. Two goals and two assists came in the Champions League.
However, it’s not his statistics that are the lure for Guardiola. In fact, Torres’ numbers for the past two seasons are underwhelming, finishing the 2018/19 season with two goals and a single assist.
What is appealing about Torres is the way he involves himself in the build-up play of his team. Specifically, he has a natural tendency to drift inside to link up with centrally positioned team-mates.

This, as a by-product, creates space on the wings for the full backs to overlap, something Guardiola is known to be a fan of.
As you would expect of a Guardiola target, Torres is comfortable with the ball at his feet, but he doesn’t keep possession for the sake of it. This is a midfielder who likes to take risks.
That can often mean his pass success rate isn’t high, but Torres’ role in the team is to break defensive lines and position himself in awkward positions between the opposition defence and midfield.
This season saw him sharpen his final product in the attacking third, but he still has work to do in this regard if he is to become a key figure for a team of City’s calibre.
That said, the Spaniard need look no further than how Raheem Sterling arrived at the Etihad five years ago amid similar criticism of his game. Under Guardiola, Sterling has become one of English football’s most reliable goalscorers, netting 29 times this season.
Torres is also capable of playing in a number of positions across the midfield and out wide, versatility that Guardiola finds appealing.

He could help City build the sort of interchangeable attacking line Guardiola always looks for. He might even be most effective in a central role, such is his dexterity and all-round vision.
Torres is far from the finished product. He might not be the player to help City make up 18 points on Liverpool next season, but he is a Guardiola-type player and has time on his side.
His arrival this summer would reflect the control the Catalan coach has at the Etihad and how committed City are to building him another great team, even if things don’t come together straight away.
