Manchester United will hope to better their 4-2 defeat to Cadiz when they take on fellow La Liga outfit Real Betis on Saturday as they work towards the Premier League ’s return.
However, the Red Devils will also be hoping to solve their attacking crisis following Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure last month. PSV’s Cody Gakpo is being strongly linked but Atletico Madrid’s Joao Felix has emerged as a favourable target following reports he ‘wants’ a move to Old Trafford. Elsewhere, there are big plans to overhaul the right back position.
Mirror Football takes a look at all the latest transfer stories coming out of Old Trafford…
Joao Felix ‘wants’ United move
Out-of-favour Atletico Madrid forward Felix reportedly ‘wants’ a move to Man United as the Red Devils go in search of bolstering their attacking options.
The Portuguese international has impressed at the World Cup under Fernando Santos and has certainly done his best to put himself in the shop window, with the 23-year-old struggling to break into Diego Simeone’s Atletico side this season.
And according to FootballTransfers, Felix’s preference is to join up with Ten Hag at Man United, although the Red Devils will face competition from the likes of Chelsea, Newcastle and Aston Villa.

It’s been no secret that Ten Hag is on the search for another right back but transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano has revealed that three deals could be in place at the start of 2023.
Diogo Dalot is the current first choice at Old Trafford, while Aaron Wan-Bissaka seems destined to leave after failing to impress Ten Hag. However, although there have been reports of Dalot being involved in a swap deal with Inter Milan’s Denzel Dumfries, the Portuguese could now be offered a new contract.
Romano also revealed on his YouTube channel that Wan-Bissaka will be sold and a new signing will be brought in as a result, although that player will serve as back-up to Dalot, rather than become the new first choice.
Real Madrid want Red Devils youngster
In a stunning new report, United's highly-rated youngster Alejandro Garnacho has been linked with Real Madrid.
The Argentine flew out of the blocks in the final stretch of games ahead of the World Cup, registering two goals and two assists in United’s last three fixtures, but it is yet to commit his future to the club.
Spanish outlet Marca, report that Real Madrid have received the offer to sign Garnacho before his current deal runs out at the end of the season.
