Here is a roundup of the top Manchester United news, gossip and transfer latest from icfootballnews featuring the likes of Ronald Araujo, Elliot Anderson and Cole Palmer that you may have missed…
Here is the latest transfer speculation regarding Manchester United, as reports have claimed that the Gunners may be interested to hear that Barcelona manager Hansi Flick is reportedly keen to offload Ronald Araujo in a squad overhaul.
Araujo is a player that Manchester United have been linked with for the last few transfer windows, he is a player that the Red Devils have been interested in signing, but Barcelona have never really wanted to sell and the defender never really wanted to leave.
But as reported by Fichajes, there could be a boost for the Premier League giants.
There’s a lot of competition in this Barcelona squad, so Araujo might do well to try a new challenge elsewhere to ensure he gets more playing time and a chance to really fulfil his potential.

There is no doubt that Man United have some quality players, they could be challenging for the very top of the League if they add the right stars to the side, they need to spend wisely.
If United get to sign Araujo, he would be a great signing for the club, especially as they could probably get him for a bargain, this is a rumour that we will keep an eye on, and one that would improve that Red Devils back line.
But here are a number of other clubs that are also in the hunt for Araujo and offer a better chance of regular game time, And of course you have those clubs from Saudi Arabia, that will pay big money to secure Araujo.
But if there is a chance for Manchester United to improve that back-line with some world class signings, Ronald Araujo could be a very good addition to that side.
UNITED WANTS ANDERSON
There has been some reports in the media which have claimed that Manchester United are ready to pay over £100 million to try and secure the services of Nottingham Forest star Elliot Anderson.
Michael Carrick is in charge of United until the end of the season, with alot of pressure on the former star to make an immediate impact considering the board want Champions League football for next season, and maybe a trophy added too.

The 23-year-old Anderson has excelled since leaving Newcastle for the City Ground and is now firmly established as part of Thomas Tuchel’s plans for next summer’s World Cup.
Unsurprisingly, Anderson’s form has alerted a number of leading Premier League clubs with the likes of Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham all reportedly interested in a deal for the talented midfielder.
And according to a report from TEAMtalk, United are definitely interested in signing Elliot
However, on top of that massive price tag, a potential hurdle to this deal is that Manchester City are currently seen as favourites to land the Englishman’s signature.
IcFootballnews Says…
It is very easy to see why all the big clubs wants Anderson, he has been so impressive for Forest and a player that could become one of the best in his position, but he needs to make the right career choices.
If the big clubs are circling for a potential deal, then Anderson needs to make sure that United, Man City or Chelsea have the space in the side for him to play, he doesnt want to move and then sit on the bench you know?
However – saying that, he is ready for that next step and could be the ideal signing that Manchester United need.
PALMER TIPPED FOR MOVE
Stunning reports have claimed Manchester United are being backed to finally sign boyhood Red Devils fan Cole Palmer if they can lure the Chelsea star’s former manager, Mauricio Pochettino, back to England.
In 81 Premier League games for Chelsea the 23‑year‑old has produced 40 goals and 18 assists and he is now easily considered to be one of the most highly-rated young players in the game, and a player that the Blues really rely on.
But despite the fact he has a long term contract, despite the fact he has now shown any desire to leave in previous windows, there is always speculation that he could leave if a big club comes calling.

Now – Palmer has been tipped to make the move to Manchester United if the Red Devils are able to bring Mauricio Pochettino back to England after he leads the USA at the world cup in the summer.
Rene Meulensteen, who once worked alongside Sir Alex Ferguson in Manchester, has told Casinostugan: “Could Mauricio Pochettino convince Cole Palmer to come to Manchester United? Only if Chelsea would be willing to let him go.
‘Palmer is a fantastic player and I think he would suit Manchester United really well and the way they should be playing because he is a difference maker. That’s always what you want.
“You’d need to think about how he’s going to fit in because on that right-hand side, where Cole is playing to come into the pocket, obviously you can have Amad Diallo there too or [Bryan] Mbeumo. Bruno [Fernandes] operates in the middle.
“Palmer was a boyhood United fan and it’s actually too strange for words that United never picked up on it and made sure that they sounded him out about his plans if he ever were to leave City. It’s very strange that it never happened, in my opinion.”
