Transfer: Chelsea agrees to a deal with Bernal, and Manchester United gives the new player Rashford's No. 10 shirt.

 Marcus Rashford will not be playing for Manchester United next season, the team has stated. The Red Devils revealed their decision when gave out the England international forward’s no.10 shirt to a new signing, Cunha. Football transfer guru, Fabrecio Romano, reports that Ruben Amorim’s side has also told the player’s agent Cunha has taken his shirt. “Man United also confirmed that Rashford’s representatives were informed that Matheus Cunha would be taking his number 10 shirt,” Romano wrote on X. “It’s definitely over between United and Rashford.” He went on to add that the England forward could end at LaLiga giants, Barcelona. Rashford played last season at Aston Villa. “Rashford dreams of Barcelona move as priority for his future,” he added. Meanwhile, Chelsea have also agreed to a scholarship deal for England U18 goalkeeper, Freddy Bernal. The Blues rejected a formal bid from Arsenal a few months ago as he was staying at the club, according to Romano.

Medical Booking Made at Old Trafford, Where Attacker Will Get Five Times Current Wage

 According to talkSPORT, Manchester United has reportedly taken a significant step toward signing Bryan Mbeumo by tentatively setting up the Brentford forward's medical for next week.

Despite seeing their second bid turned down on Friday evening, United remain locked in negotiations with Brentford and are said to be increasingly confident of striking a deal for one of their top summer targets.

The 20-time English champions initially offered £55 million, which was rejected. Their second proposal, £55 million plus £7.5 million in add-ons, has also been rebuffed, with Brentford holding out for more in the upfront payment.

However, talkSPORT reports that both clubs believe an agreement is close.

Personal terms are already said to be settled, with Mbeumo expected to earn £250,000 per week at Old Trafford, five times more than his current wages at Brentford.


Brentford are fully expecting to lose the Cameroon international this summer. While Arsenal, Newcastle United, and most recently Tottenham Hotspur have shown interest, Mbeumo has reportedly made it clear that Manchester United is his preferred destination.

The 25-year-old enjoyed a standout 2024–25 season, scoring 20 goals and providing nine assists across 42 appearances. United are aiming to finalise the transfer in time for Mbeumo to join pre-season training on July 7.

Should the move go through on schedule, he would be in line for his debut against Leeds United on July 19 before the squad heads to the United States for their summer tour.
