Man Utd Latest: Ten Hag to decide Tom Heaton’s future at Old Trafford

Manchester United goalkeeper Tom Heaton has been linked with a move ahead of the fast approaching transfer deadline

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is unwilling to sack Tom Heaton despite a Premier League rival desperate to lure him away from Old Trafford, talkSPORT reporter Alex Crook told GIVEMESPORT.
The Red Devils have already strengthened their goalkeeping department with the £47.2m signing of Andre Onana ahead of the new season.

Manchester United transfer news

Newly promoted Luton Town are awaiting clearance to sign Heaton from Manchester United, while boss Rob Edwards is looking to add an experienced option between the sticks, according to The Sun.

The report suggests the Red Devils are unwilling to sell the 37-year-old, who played just 180 minutes last season, until a replacement is brought in from Ten Hag. It is clear the Manchester United boss has already blocked the move to Kenilworth Road, despite Heaton’s desire to join Luton due to the regular minutes on offer in the Premier League.
But the Hatters aren’t the only suitors of the shottopper, given that even Everton, fresh from having narrowly avoided relegation to the Championship, asked for information on his availability.

By heading to Goodison Park, Heaton could seal a reunion with Sean Dyche, under whom he made 200 appearances during their time together at Burnley.
Failing to play during his first spell on Manchester United’s books, the former England international has been limited to three appearances since his return.

What did Alex Crook say about Heaton?

Crook understands Heaton, whose £45,000-a-week contract expires in less than 12 months, will not make it past his Old Trafford exit before the September 1 transfer deadline, despite being in the pecking order at Manchester United.

The talkSPORT reporter knows Luton were keen to reach an agreement with the Red Devils as they prepare for their first ever season in the Premier League.
But after speaking to sources, Crook knows ten Hag is not interested in the possibility of parting ways with the former Aston Villa man.
When asked if Heaton could be released, Crook told GIVEMESPORT: “I’ve been told he’s staying.
“Obviously Luton have been trying to sign him because he is in desperate need of a goalkeeper. But right now, ten Hag won’t let him out.

According to Football Insider, Dean Henderson’s departure from Manchester United is in jeopardy after struggling to recover from injury.
According to the report, Nottingham Forest have been in talks over a deal worth up to £20m after the goalkeeper was identified as manager Steve Cooper’s top target, but the move has been put on hold .

The Tricky Trees have been keen to sign Henderson on a permanent basis since returning to Manchester United from the City Ground at the end of last season.
While on loan at Nottingham Forest, the 26-year-old made 20 appearances before a long-term injury interrupted his season. Henderson has entered the final two years of his £120,000-a-week contract at Manchester United, which means now is the perfect time to start making some money.

‘The best striker ever’ – Erik Ten Hag admits he admires Harry Kane and why its taking so long to sign him

Erik Ten Hag has spoken publicly about his admiration for Harry Kane, stating that the Tottenham man could become the greatest striker ever in Premier League history.

After weeks of speculation, it now looks like we’ll see some concrete developments on the Kane front, with the Bayern Munich hierarchy traveling to London today to meet Daniel Levy (Ben Heckner).

Reports indicate that the German club hopes to finalize a deal for the Tottenham man (Florian Plettenberg) by the end of this week.
Manchester United have also taken an interest in Kane, with The Daily Mirror reporting last week that the Red Devils had been put on red alert after Tottenham decided to cash in on their star striker. Erik Ten Hag is said to have identified the England captain as his main target. However, the Manchester club have reportedly signed a £74million deal to sign Rasmus Hojlund from Atalanta (The Sun).

Harry Kane has the respect of Erik ten Hag

The Man Utd manager has now declined to reveal information about his club’s search for Kane, but he did have words of praise for the Spurs star.
When asked about the 30-year-old striker, Ten Hag told The Guardian: “I’m not talking about players from other clubs. I have to respect the club and respect the player. “I have a lot of respect for Harry Kane especially because he is a great striker, one of the best of all time. Maybe he can be the best striker of all time in the Premier League. “

Stimulates web opinion

From Ten Hag’s statement, it’s pretty obvious that Kane was his main target this summer but Daniel Levy probably refused to sell the striker to a Premier League rival.

United would have probably hoped that Kane himself would push for a move to Old Trafford, but the 30-year-old appears to have considered a move to Bayern.

Arsenal looking to sign £40million David Raya and what this means for the outstanding Aaron Ramsdale

Oh, to be a fly on the wall for all of the Aaron Ramsdale and Mikel Arteta interactions this week.
Arsenal’s number 1 goalkeeper, hailed as ‘exceptional’ by his manager until April, would rightly ask some questions, rightly feel slightly hurt, and the England international will likely be seeking clarity on his whereabouts amid reports linking the club. to David Raya of Brentford.

Brentford want £40m for Raya, who has another year on his contract, while Arteta clearly want competition, a gauntlet challenge which looks hard to name at the moment.
Ramsdale has been Arsenal’s first choice since arriving in 2021 and played every minute of the last Premier League season, keeping 14 clean sheets to ensure a Champions League return to the Emirates – a great achievement, too if the championship title painfully eluded him.

The 25-year-old boasts three caps for England and would no doubt see next season as an opportunity to show Gareth Southgate that he should start for Jordan Pickford at Euro 2024. But nothing seems certain now and at a time when sure-fire goalkeepers are in demand – seeing Andre Onana over Manchester United – Arteta seems keen to expand his options and that he might even see Raya as an improvement in that department.

Raya was the Premier League’s busiest goalkeeper last season. Not only did he make 154 saves, the most in the league, but he also had to pass the ball more often than any of his peers.
That was 1,882 touches and 1,475 assists, another league high among goalkeepers last season, while 410 accurate long balls topped that ranking well ahead of Everton’s Pickford (294).

By comparison, Ramsdale landed 1,276 touches and completed 934 passes, including 138 accurate long balls, with an overall passing accuracy of 63%, a slight improvement from Raya’s 61%.
So it’s ambiguous and it’s not Ramsdale’s fault that he received the ball less often, even though his long ball accuracy was well below Raya’s 42 at 29% – Manchester City’s Ederson is the reference to 53%.

Ramsdale’s passing has also deteriorated noticeably in the 2022-23 season – falling below 60% accuracy just six times in the first 26 games and then six more times in the last 12 – while appearing to be stronger under pressure The season continued, although arguably most of Arsenal’s teams did so as the scale of the title fight took its toll.

Yet few questioned Ramsdale’s place in the starting XI and Arteta praised the former Sheffield United and Bournemouth keeper on his development a few months ago.
“He was really, really good and probably against all odds,” Arteta said. “Because if you look at his past and where he comes from, he’s been relegated twice, it’s hard to imagine.

“But we saw that he had that character, that charisma and that personality to play for our club and he has the potential qualities that can translate into the way we play.” If you look at the development he has made over the last two seasons, I think he is exceptional.”

From “against all odds”, Ramsdale could soon have his toughest fight yet at Arsenal if he manages to sign Raya, who was wanted by the club in 2020.
Raya is said to be interested in the move as he previously worked with Arsenal goalkeeping coach Inaki Cana who was previously at Brentford. However, Bayern Munich would also like the goalkeeper. Whether Arsenal will live up to Brentford’s valuation is yet to be seen.
“He’s worth £40million,” Brentford boss Thomas Frank said on Sunday. “I would like to get him that. He was one of the four best goalkeepers in the Premier League last season. “What’s the price for a player with just a year left? Declan Rice joined Arsenal for £105m – is that a fair price? And Harry Kane who has a year left and you talk about 150 million pounds?

“Anyway, the good thing is that it’s not my fault. It’s always complicated.” Two sides of the coin when it comes to negotiations and we meet somewhere in between.”

This week should bring clarity to Arsenal’s interest, and if the move goes through for Sunday’s Community Shield match against Manchester City, gloves will certainly be on the line at Wembley – a number that another top side of the Premier League really has to face. Maybe that’s Arteta’s point then.

Arsenal could seal three USMNT transfers as Mikel Arteta enters the next phase of the summer semester

Arsenal are entering the next phase of the summer transfer market.
Mikel Arteta’s squad brought in Kai Havertz, Jurrien Timber and Declan Rice for the start of the club’s pre-season tour of the US, which cost the Gunners more than £200m. Arsenal still want to sign more players, but their focus is now on sacking those who are surplus to requirements.

Among them appear to be American stars Matt Turner, Auston Trusty and Folarin Balogun. Goalkeeper Turner has been linked with a move to Nottingham Forest due to the Gunners’ apparent interest in Brentford stopper David Raya, while the Austin Trusty would be a target for Sheffield United following his loan spell at Birmingham City. last season.
football.london reported in June that Arsenal are ready to cash in on Trusty, who signed for the Colorado Rapids club in 2022, while Folarin Balogun will also be available for a transfer. Balogun scored 22 goals for Reims on loan at the French club last season, while Turner was a strong replacement for Aaron Ramsdale, but a move to Raya would not only help the Gunners

USMNT supporters, though, would see three of their national team’s top players leaving a big Premier League club. Having already seen Christian Pulisic leave Chelsea this summer, the profile of those stars could drop significantly.

It’s certainly one to watch for USMNT fans, who are hoping big things come from the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which is being held in North America.
