Manchester United are bracing for what could be the most pivotal summer in their storied history.
The Red Devils are gagging for new blood after a shocker of a Premier League season. Yet, they're staring down the barrel of a tough transfer window, with the club's wallet looking a bit thin.
Things might've been rosier had they nicked the Europa League title off Tottenham and bagged themselves a Champions League berth.
Their flop in Bilbao has left the chiefs potentially scouting for bargains, as the coffers aren't exactly overflowing.
It could even mean saying ta-ra to some of their top lads – with Bruno Fernandes' name doing the rounds in the gossip mill, reports the Mirror.
So, here's the latest scoop on all the comings and goings at Old Trafford from the past 24 hours...

Ruben Amorim's keeping his cards close to his chest over Bruno Fernandes amid chatter about a move to Saudi Arabia. Ahead of this weekend's crunch match with Aston Villa, he's kept it simple: "The focus now is the last game.
"I don't know what is going to happen. We have a plan, we were prepared for both situations – with Champions League and without Champions League.
"We have an idea of the type of squad we want but now we focus on the game because we still have the last game, and we have time to address all these situations."

While United are eager for Fernandes to stick at Old Trafford, the top brass seem to have slapped price tags on several players angling for an exit, including whizkid Alejandro Garnacho. Reports from the Daily Mail suggest the club's asking for a hefty £60-70m for the Argentine sharpshooter.
They're also hoping to pocket a tidy £40m for homegrown hero Marcus Rashford. There might be a big loss in store for United with a couple of their duds potentially packing up in the near future.
Rasmus Hojlund could be snapped up for just £25-30m – a significant drop from the whopping £72m they forked out originally. And when it comes to Brazilian flanker Antony, United reckon they'll haul in about £25m.

Speaking of Rashford, Barcelona's Hansi Flick isn't hiding his fondness for United's number 10.
The Athletic quotes him saying: "Normally I don't want to speak about players that are not in my team, but of course both of them are fantastic players. I like them and we will see what happens -- but of course they are fantastic players."
Barcelona's been casting glances at Rashford before, and his route back into the Manchester mix seems a bit murky. He's been rolling with Aston Villa since hopping over there on loan in January.
