MANCHESTER UNITED boss Erik ten Hag has received advice from fans over his summer transfer business.

Ten Hag has kept Maguire as club captain and he explained his decision earlier this month. “Of course, I have to get to know all the players and it takes time. However, Leon Bailey pulled one back for Villa after half-time before a Calum Chambers header deep into stoppage time levelled the game up in Perth. While Ten Hag carried out his post-match media duties, the Manchester Evening News claimed he had fans shouting from above to 'sell Maguire' and 'sign De Jong'. Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag had his post-match interview after the 2-2 draw with Aston Villa disrupted by fans giving him transfer advice. MANCHESTER UNITED boss Erik ten Hag has received advice from fans over his summer transfer business.

Luke Shaw's powerhouse performance against Aston Villa shows the merits of having intense competition for places, according to former Red Ben Thornley.

It was the 12th United goal of Tour 2022 and a third for Sancho, with an own-goal by Matty Cash making it 2-0 before half-time. "It was a really, really good overlap and a lovely ball to the back post. "You need good players in all positions as it helps to spur you on.

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has highlighted what his players must learn after the Red Devils threw away a 2-0 before drawing 2-2 with Aston Villa in ...

“They have to perform and that's what we didn’t do in the second-half. There was a lot of movement, a lot of skills and they can finish.” You have to get out of the dressing-room, back in your plan and your focus and back to your performance. That is a weapon that is really hard to defend against. A season is not always going up, you also have setbacks and have to deal with it. “But I've seen a lot of progress in these two weeks.

ANTONY remains high on Manchester United's transfer shortlist but Ajax will not consider a sale unless their astronomical valuation is met...

The Dutch giants have slapped a £68million price tag on the 22-year-old and remain adamant they will not soften their position on a sale following Lisandro Martinez's £57m move to Old Trafford. “We talk on a daily basis. United are refusing to lie down in their pursuit of Frenkie de Jong though - even though the deal is seemingly at a deadlock.

Manchester United have been a busy club this summer but there are still two potential signings on the horizon.

Another Ajax ace has been identified with a move to Old Trafford in the form of Brazilian Antony. However, problems persist in the bid with De Jong holding out for Barcelona to repay the millions he is owed in deferred wages after taking a pay cut in the pandemic and is currently adamant he will remain at the Camp Nou. Frenkie De Jong has been strongly linked with a move to Old Trafford this summer with the Red Devils reportedly agreeing a £63 million fee with Barcelona.

Manchester United's winning streak in pre-season came to an end after they let a two-goal lead slip to draw 2-2 with Aston Villa on Saturday.

However, Calum Chambers snatched the equaliser for Villa in stoppage time with a close-range header from a cross by Bailey, as United's winning streak in the pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia came to a halt. Jadon Sancho eventually broke the deadlock for Ten Hag's charges in the 25th minute with a tidy volley unmarked at the back post after a cross by Shaw. The Red Devils had a bright start as Harry Maguire came close to finding the opener with a thumping header that was parried away by goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez after a corner by Shaw.

CHRIS WHEELER IN PERTH: Sportsmail have identified six key things we learned during the match, as Erik ten Hag's United rebuild suffered its first set-back ...

The figures do rather endorse United’s status out here. Steven Gerrard’s side were by far the strongest team United have faced on tour. The move started with Diogo Dalot at right-back and went through Martial, Bruno Fernandes and then Rashford on the left flank. Anthony Martial and Jadon Sancho have scored three each with Marcus Rashford on two. Van de Beek started in midfield in the absence of Scott McTominay – who wasn’t fit to play but trained in Perth earlier in the day – and struggled to make an impression during the 67 minutes he was on the pitch. The hosts couldn’t be blamed for the weather, but parts of the pitch had already been relaid to cope with the demands of the Aussie Rules season and a third game of football in the space of the week (and second in 24 hours).

A statistical look at how good Antony is compared United's current attack and why Erik ten Hag so badly wants him at Old Trafford.

The Brazilian winger is only 22 and has bags of raw talent. That is, however, more than both Rashford and Sancho combined who scored four and three last season respectively. This is where Antony comes into his own. Antony has been on the Dutchman's radar during this transfer window and when you look at the statistics, it's clear why United are interested. Antony comes out top here too — although only just. Using this data, they have given Antony an average rating of 7.47 for his performances at Ajax last year; this comes in higher than Ronaldo who achieved a rating of 7.11. Sancho comes in third with his rating of 6.66 and Rashford rounds up the group with a rating of only 6.35.

United's two first-half goals were cancelled out by a determined Villa side in the second half. Erik ten Hag will be disappointed with the inability of his team ...

In today’s match, we saw the glaring issue that is midfield. His creativity and composure on the ball put him a cut above the rest. United were dominant in the first 45 minutes and imposed themselves upon the opposition. Ten Hag has instilled in the players a sense of awareness, which has improved the performances of certain players. After the break, however, Ten Hag decided to make plenty of changes to give more minutes to the youngsters. Erik ten Hag will be disappointed with the inability of his team to retain the 2-0 lead.

Erik ten Hag identified Antony as a top transfer target to offset the expected departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, but the new Manchester United manager has ...

That stance is certain to anger 22-year-old Antony and his agent Junior Pedroso who is thought to have held initial discussions last week with United officials. We have made it clear to the players, we have had big talks with the players who have a strong desire to leave the club at this moment.” But we are keeping the squad we have left.

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has been eager to bring his former Ajax players with him to Old Trafford. He's already signed Martinez and is also interested in Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong, who once played for him in the Dutch top-flight. United have been after the 22-year-old all summer and his agents travelled to Europe early in the transfer window to arrange a deal. Manchester United have not given up on signing Ajax star Antony. The Premier League side are plotting a last attempt to land the winger, GOAL understands, but the Dutch team do not want to let him leave and have frustrated the Red Devils with their demands.

One of those subs, Leon Bailey, produced a moment of individual brilliance to get Villa back into the game on 50 minutes. In the third minute of added time, United blew their lead as Bailey's in-swinging corner was met by the head of Calum Chambers. But in stormy conditions, Villa stormed back in the second period.

Man United have pulled out all the stops to secure the signature of Frenkie de Jong, dispatching club chiefs Richard Arnold and John Murtough, ...

But given the manager's desire to build through midfield, it is Ten Hag's remarks about Fred's style of play that stand out. Ten Hag has made clear he is at Old Trafford for a three-year project. The Leicester City man is quite happy to impose himself on the opponent. Under Nuno Espirito Santo, the Portuguese was asked to sit deep and shield the space in front of the three central defenders. There is also the £17M De Jong is owed in wages by Barcelona, which he may want to pocket before leaving Spain. Erik ten Hag has cut-price options in Fabian Ruiz and Youri Tielemans, Ruben Neves has proved he can deliver in the top flight and even Fred is finally firing on all cylinders I am satisfied with his performance, with his improvement. Christian Eriksen, 30, is one of them. The one problem appears to be De Jong himself. Both players posted a pass competition rate of around 90 per cent. He enabled Wolves to gain control in midfield through his quality on the ball, but in addition, he is good in the tackle and a willing presser. Ten Hag has made clear that De Jong is central to his plans at United, as he seeks possession and control in the frenzy of the Premier League.

Erik ten Hag has already managed to lure Lisandro Martinez to Manchester United from Ajax after being unable to convince Jurrien Timber to join.

But Schreuder’s comments also indicate the approach Ten Hag can take next summer, if he still wishes to bring in Antony. His Ajax replacement, Alfred Schreuder, has outlined how he does not want to lose the forward this summer. But it looks like he will not be prising any more players from his former club.

Signing De Jong would have been a statement of intent at least, but with United struggling to get the deal over the line, Ten Hag may need to rely on the likes of Fred and McTominay to share the work. His range of passing can prove the difference between existing in a game and controlling it, and it was evident just how much United needed him after struggling to keep a hold on the game when leading Aston Villa. While he refused to outright name the Barcelona star, the “right player” is widely known to be De Jong, and it appeared United would get their man after agreeing a package with Barcelona worth £56million up front, with a further £20m in add-ons. And what's worse, Martinez is thought to have been signed for a central defensive role — rather than anchoring the midfield. “Football is a sport of mistakes and we have to decrease the mistakes,” he said. The former Ajax coach has made it clear he wants to sign a holding midfielder to complete his three-man midfield, a non-negotiable aspect of his football philosophy.

Man Utd drew their last match in Australia 2-2 against Aston Villa and Erik ten Hag wasn't entirely happy.

When asked to account for United’s drop-off, Ten Hag reiterated: “It was the focus. In the first half we were really good." They have to perform and it is what we didn’t do in the second half.

MANCHESTER UNITED slumped to a second-half comeback in the final game of their pre-season tour against Aston Villa.

United's summer transfer business and Ten Hag's pre-season selections have strongly hinted at the starting line-up against Brighton & Hove Albion in next month's Premier League opener. Alex Telles is up for sale and has blatantly played the role of a placeholder under the Dutchman, featuring as a left-sided centre-back and, against Villa, slotting in as the holding midfielder. Bailey ran United ragged in the second half, smoking Luke Shaw and Victor Lindelof with his pace. Many fans raised concerns about De Gea's suitability to Ten Hag's style upon the Dutchman's arrival. Erik ten Hag seems to have a clear plan for him, and it's so far bearing delicious fruit. Jadon Sancho opened the scoring on 25 minutes before Matty Cash doubled United's lead with an own goal on the brink of half-time.

According to the Mirror, the Brazilian winger is distraught after the Dutch club told all their players that nobody else is leaving this window. Sporting ...

This is not the update that United fans will want to hear, especially after news broke earlier in the week that one of Antony's representatives had landed in Manchester for talks. Sporting director Gerry Hamstra sent a very clear message to the Eredivisie side's squad, informing them that they had no intention of allowing any further outgoings this summer. According to the Mirror, the Brazilian winger is distraught after the Dutch club told all their players that nobody else is leaving this window.

Man United drew 2-2 with Aston Villa on Saturday and it was the only disappointing result from a positive pre-season tour.

Steven Gerrard made multiple changes at the break and that allowed Villa to steal the initiative. United have made encouraging progress under Erik ten Hag in pre-season and the early glimmers of his philosophy are becoming increasingly sustained. United had thrown away a two-goal lead with amateur in-game management and they were forced to share the points after looking utterly superior in the first half. The character in the club's playing squad has been dubious for some time and United's late capitulation against Villa was a reminder of that. Fernandes had scored his second of the match and United had a two-goal lead with 25 minutes to play. United started the match under the floodlights at Villa Park with real purpose and intent.

Frenkie de Jong came off the bench for Barcelona to play at centre-back against Real Madrid.

Discussions over his move have now been going on for almost three months, but De Jong jetted across to the United States with his Barcelona teammates for their pre-season tour. But it was De Jong who took centre stage especially as he continued in an unfamiliar role, with other players being preferred by Barcelona manager Xavi in central midfield. De Jong signed for Barcelona three years ago and United had reached an agreement in principle with the cash-strapped Catalan giants for his signature.

United's lack of Champions League football has also led to the competition's all-time top scorer Cristiano Ronaldo handing in a transfer request. United would also significantly suffer from a sponsorship point of view if they missed out on back-to-back seasons of Champions League football. The Red Devils have had an unbeaten pre-seasons schedule.

BBC football reporter Simon Stone answers questions from Manchester United and Aston Villa fans after their 2-2 pre-season draw in Perth, Australia.

But the idea is to have competition for places. And then, is it a team De Gea wants to play for? In some ways, I admire United's stance on De Jong - but it is a gamble to an extent. There is an element of truth to that but in the modern game, results matter - and a reliance on experience comes from that. That might mean United were open to letting him go and I could see why a move might appeal. Would you agree there is a different feel to Manchester United this summer from the top down? It is unrealistic to expect United to challenge Manchester City and Liverpool this season. But the continued talk of him wanting to play in the Champions League suggests the exact opposite. And if they do, will it encourage Carney Chukwuemeka to sign if he can see a clear pathway to first-team football - or has that ship sailed? But he is inconsistent and needs to stay fit. But that is what he is - a player of promise. The big question is how far the owners are prepared to go.

Cristiano Ronaldo wants to leave Man United this summer and it has been suggested that he could leave the club on loan.

It has been suggested this weekend that United would be open to sanctioning a loan away for Ronaldo, which would be absurd. He remained talismanic in his first season back at Old Trafford and he would ideally stay for the beginning of Erik ten Hag's rebuild. United would be responsible for Ronaldo leaving after failing to match his ambition and he would depart knowing that he did all he could last season. He would also leave after rekindling his relationship with fans. The move suited all parties, but it quickly became apparent after just a few weeks into the season that Ronaldo's return wasn't going to be what he expected. It was the story of the summer and a fairytale return.

MANCHESTER UNITED have been trying to negotiate a move for Frenkie de Jong since the end of last season.

We have a list and we qualify as the player who has the competence to play that role. Barcelona are reportedly set to hold discussions with De Jong in order to ask him to reconsider his firm stance against a move elsewhere over the next few days. It remains to be seen whether De Jong will eventually grow tired of being forced to play in an unfamiliar role at Barcelona if Xavi continues to shoehorn him into a defensive position over the coming weeks.

Man United's Marcus Rashford has struggled for form last season and he's aiming to bounce back under Erik ten Hag.

“When you are losing games and you’re not picking points, it’s difficult to enjoy yourself on the pitch. “It’s part and parcel of the game. “For us, it’s definitely a positive thing to have a fully-fit squad ready to start the season. For me personally, it’s priceless to have the pre-season that I’ve had. Ten Hag has now had four weeks to work with the squad and there have been clear signs of his philosophy during pre-season. Rashford lost his starting place at Old Trafford last term and he regularly failed to impact games from the bench.

And it is likely that Garnacho might finally get to see some action in either of the games. On his Youtube channel, Romano revealed, “Ten Hag is really convinced of the skills of this boy (Garnacho). The idea of the club is to offer him a new contract. A loan move could be on the cards or he could get his chances during the Europa League group stages while playing regularly for the U-23 team.

CRISTIANO RONALDO'S Manchester United exit could have big implications on and off the pitch.

Ronaldo missed United's pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia for family reasons but has been pictured on social media preparing for the new season. Any move is set to depend on the futures of Alvaro Morata and Matheus Cunha, who could both leave the Wanda Metropolitano this summer. Ronaldo, one of the greatest footballers of all time, has become an iconic brand with his signature number seven, so sponsors understandably want to maximise his global pull.

United are ready to accept Ronaldo's exit for a second time, but they will only happily do so if he agrees to trigger a one-year extension in his contract and return next summer.

ERIK TEN HAG has wasted no time whipping his Manchester United players into shape...

We need to be ready for that, to be ready to hear things that maybe we don't want to hear.

It's tough, but we need to adjust quickly. We need to build a team, a staff, a club, everyone together and go forward. But I think everything is for the greater good of the team, and that's the most important thing. Ten Hag publicly slammed his players for an unacceptable loss of focus as he continues to drill them into shape after a disastrous 2021/22 season.

The never-ending transfer saga that has dominated the headlines appears to finally be nearing a conclusion but it does not bode well for Manchester United.

The report claims that both Xavi and De Jong left the meeting feeling satisfied with the nature of the discussions. But Barcelona are respectful of De Jong's wishes and Xavi also values and appreciates his quality and influence on the side. De Jong has been consistent with his view on a move to Old Trafford, publicly declaring his wish to remain with Barcelona.

The United boss wants to control fixtures with possession and he views De Jong as a key to achieving that vision.

De Jong is now on pre-season tour with Barcelona, but there's a feeling that the club are trying to force him out, despite what they say in public. We want it that the centre-back distributes the ball and he does that very well." De Jong is considered an expendable asset at Barcelona and they desperately need the money from his sale, which is good news for Manchester United, who have made the player their top target.
