Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has handed England a timely lift ahead of their World Cup encounter with Ghana. Rashford fears A recent report covered by The Peoples Person relayed that England were sweating the fitness of Rashford after he appeared to have sustained an injury during the nation’s opener against Croatia. Rashford was named on the bench, with England boss Thomas Tuchel preferring to start new Barcelona boy Anthony Gordon. But Rashford outshone Gordon as he came on to score England’s fourth in their 4-2 triumph. Rashford produced a cool finish to wrap up the victory in Dallas. It’s said that the Carrington academy graduate complained of a tight hamstring after the final whistle. Fellow substitutes, including Kobbie Mainoo, played in a practice game against MLS club Kansas City on Thursday, but Rashford did not feature. This sparked further fears that his injury could be serious. However, The Guardian reveal that Rashford is set to be fit and available to Tuchel for selection against Ghana. Rashford boost According to The Guardian, Rashford trained with his England teammates on Saturday, which will come as fantastic news to the Three Lions. The newspaper says that Rashford was moving freely as Tuchel led the training session. He was also joined by Declan Rice, who is another one who was suspected of having sustained an injury. Rashford will be hoping to start ahead of Gordon when England face Ghana on Tuesday. One player not yet ready to start is Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka. The winger remained indoors at England’s Kansas City training base to follow an individual programme, which leaves Noni Madueke as the strong favourite to retain his place in the starting XI. England vs. Ghana kicks off at 9 pm. Featured image Michael Steele via Getty Images The Peoples Person has been one of the world’s leading Man United news sites for over a decade.

Fantastic news for national team as United star eases injury fears with timely return to training – report

Galatasaray take drastic step to block Osimhen exit as links to a sensational United transfer continue – report

Amid suggestions that Manchester United have reignited their interest in Victor Osimhen, Galatasaray are preparing a bold move to ensure he stays beyond this summer. Osimhen interest United have been persistently linked with Osimhen over the years, yet a deal has never quite come to fruition. That was certainly the case last summer, when a transfer failed to materialise yet again, prompting United to turn their attention to Benjamin Sesko instead. Sesko enjoyed a superb maiden campaign in England. He finished the 2025/26 season with 11 Premier League goals to his name. No player scored more top-flight goals than the Slovenian in the second half of the season. But with uncertainty surrounding the future of Joshua Zirkzee and United’s desire to secure back-up or competition for Zirkzee, Osimhen’s name has unsurprisingly popped up again. The Nigerian superstar bagged 15 goals and an additional five assists in 22 Super Lig appearances for Galatasaray last season. Across all competitions, he managed 22 goals and eight assists. A report covered by The Peoples Person relayed that Osimhen is a “priority target” for the Red Devils. Atletico Madrid were also said to be eyeing him, as they make contingency plans in the event of Julian Alvarez’s departure. Alvarez is wanted by Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain. Last week, CaughtOffside claimed that Osimhen features on United’s five-man attacker shortlist that also includes Jean-Philippe Mateta, Dusan Vlahovic, Robert Lewandowski and Eli Junior Kroupi. However, according to Levent Tuzemen, Galatasaray have no desire to part ways with Osimhen. Bold move Levent Tuzemen says that Galatasaray are preparing a powerful gesture to convince Osimhen that his future lies at the club. Galatasaray’s plan is to give Osimhen the captaincy ahead of next season, effectively making him a cornerstone of the project under head coach Okan Buruk. This is also connected to the unresolved status of captain Mauro Icardi, who is approaching the end of his contract. In the event of his departure, Osimhen is slated to become captain, followed by Lucas Torreira as vice-captain and Abdülkerim as third choice. Galatasaray are hoping to make Osimhen feel truly valued, in the hope that he will ultimately rebuff interest from the likes of United.

United star’s incredible World Cup performances will convince Ineos to not spend 70m on PL star – opinion

Other than a midfield signing, a left-back addition is understood to be among the top priorities at Manchester United this summer. While Luke Shaw was available for every league game last season, however fit he proves to be next term, it will simply be too much to ask him to start every fixture. Responsibility at left-back will need to be shared. And with Patrick Dorgu tipped for a winger role after proving a massive hit further forward, a left-back signing looks necessary. Links to some fantastic left-backs are already emerging, with Lewis Hall understood to be the top target. But why would Ineos still go ahead and spend £70 million on Hall, given what Noussair Mazraoui is producing for Morocco at left-back? Mazraoui is a more-than-capable option at left-back Morocco boast arguably the world’s best right-back in Achraf Hakimi. With the Paris Saint-Germain man the undisputed first choice on the right, Mazraoui is pushed across to left-back. Yet watching him perform on the world stage against Brazil and then Scotland, one thing becomes abundantly clear: in the 28-year-old, United already have a capable left-back option within their ranks. Described as “world-class” against Brazil and “imperious” versus Scotland, Mazraoui has been a massive hit at the World Cup, with the stats firmly backing up the eye test. Carrick should be getting ideas One would hope Carrick is paying close attention to what Mazraoui is doing at left-back for Morocco. He certainly does not look like a man merely filling in. He looks like a player rediscovering a position he was born to play. Attacks consistently die out when they reach his side. Wingers run at him and, like Barcelona’s Raphinha, quickly realise he is simply unpassable. Mazraoui is taking one-on-one battles personally and is consistently coming out on top. In attack and defence alike, he is dominating every aspect of the game. Injuries hide how influential Mazraoui can be For most of his United career, fans have been robbed of his brilliance by persistent injury setbacks that have repeatedly kept him on the sidelines. An injury-free 2026/27 should see Mazraoui capably challenge Shaw for the left-back role, whilst also covering Diogo Dalot at right-back when needed. Letting Shaw and Mazraoui compete, then channelling funds into bolstering other positions such as the left wing, could make this a perfect window for United. What is more, going down the Shaw-Mazraoui route would surely open a clear pathway for Harry Amass to eventually break into this United side when the time is right.

“Fierce battle” erupts for explosive attacker coveted by United as PSG ready opening bid – report
Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly set to step up their pursuit of Manchester United target Crysencio Summerville. United want Summerville While United’s focus has been on bolstering the midfield, other positions are expected to come into play as the window progresses, including the attack. In particular, United are keen on signing a left winger, with Marcus Rashford expected to depart permanently. United already confirmed Jadon Sancho’s exit, which means there is a real danger that Michael Carrick could be left short in this position. The Red Devils have been linked with a number of forwards, including Summerville. He is all but guaranteed to part ways with West Ham following their relegation to the Championship. Summerville contributed five goals and four assists in 31 Premier League appearances last term. With two goals in two World Cup games for the Netherlands, he has firmly announced himself on the global stage. His latest effort, a breathtaking finish against Sweden, has only intensified the spotlight. A report covered by The Peoples Person relayed that United have formally enquired about the Dutchman’s situation. West Ham value him at around £50m. United are not the only club chasing Summerville. PSG have been mentioned to be admirers of his, while Arsenal have also been credited with an interest in the player. Now, CaughtOffside claim that two other Italian clubs have joined the race for Summerville’s signature. However, it’s PSG who seem to be making the strongest push to land the 24-year-old, as they prepare a bid to snap him up. Summerville update CaughtOffside say that United view Summerville’s £50m price tag as a major obstacle to getting a deal over the line. “Interest in Summerville extends beyond England. Napoli and AC Milan continue to monitor the situation, while Paris Saint‑Germain have already made contact with West Ham.” It’s said that PSG are ready to test the waters with an initial £43m bid for Summerville. Beyond that, the Ligue 1 leaders are also considering a £130m package that would bring both Summerville and United midfield target Mateus Fernandes to the French capital. Should West Ham reduce their demands to between £30–40 m, then Roma are also prepared to pounce for Summerville. CaughtOffside note that a “fierce battle” is brewing between United, PSG and Roma. His contract with the Hammers expires in 2029. Featured image Julian Finney via Getty Images The Peoples Person has been one of the world’s leading Man United news sites for over a decade.

United strike gold in pursuit of “dream” signing as top club decides to agree major sale – report
Federico Valverde and Aurelien Tchouameni were involved in a training-ground fight last season, and Real Madrid have now seemingly picked their side. Manchester United have shown interest in both midfielders amid their desire to bring in a marquee name as part of a midfield overhaul at Old Trafford. With Jose Mourinho at the helm, Real are also keen to make major changes to the squad, and are prepared to part ways with one of their superstar midfielders. Decision made over Aurelien Tchouameni’s future According to AS, Real Madrid want to “completely turn things around” after two trophyless campaigns. To finance reinforcements, Real are reportedly open to a significant sale in midfield. It is understood that Aurelien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga are the “main candidates” for departure. Federico Valverde is also thought to be highly admired in England, but Real have not “lost faith” in the Uruguayan. As far as his future is concerned, Los Blancos consider “the matter closed.” Aurelien Tchouameni is Manchester United’s dream target This development should come as positive news to Manchester United, who are keen on signing Tchouameni. Fabrizio Romano has previously claimed that Tchouameni is the “dream target” for the Red Devils, with recruitment director Christopher Vivell understood to be pushing hard for the 26-year-old midfield dynamo. The 6ft 2in midfielder has just two years remaining on his current contract. The La Liga giants are expected to demand a fee in the region of €100 million (£87m) for his services. Given the exorbitant figures being quoted for Premier League-proven midfielders Elliot Anderson and Mateus Fernandes, an opportunity to sign a Champions League-winner and a guaranteed starter for France seems to be too good to pass up for United.

United told 35m will be enough to sign 24-yo speedster who has snubbed renewal offer – report
Manchester United may have just been handed a golden chance to bring German attacker Karim Adeyemi to the Premier League. Indeed, in Germany, everything points to the 24‑year‑old leaving Borussia Dortmund this summer. Fussballdaten best captures the tricky situation in which the Bundesliga outfit and the attacker find themselves. Karim Adeyemi’s contract issues at Dortmund They state the obvious: Adeyemi is entering the final year of his contract at Signal Iduna Park, leaving Dortmund in a tricky position, as they could lose him for nothing next summer. That is something they are desperate to avoid, and they have been pushing to tie the attacker down to a new deal. However, talks are bearing no fruit, with it revealed that “Dortmund’s management is unwilling to concede to the player’s demands to increase his current annual salary from €6.5 million to €10 million, in addition to his insistence on high release clauses in his contract.” £35 million transfer opportunity As a result, a decision has been made: “The board has placed Adeyemi at the top of their list of players to be sold… “…The Bundesliga club is reportedly prepared behind closed doors to consider all-cash offers in the region of €40 million.” Meanwhile, as for where he could be heading, it is confirmed that “Manchester United, looking for alternative options for their forward line, are keeping a close eye on the situation.” Perfect for the Premier League and Man United For a player blessed with the kind of pace that troubles Premier League defenders, Adeyemi represents an opportunistic buy for English sides. Moreover, as he can play as a left winger or striker, he directly addresses United’s transfer needs, and the threat he poses with his sharp one-v-one dribbling could significantly elevate their attacking play. Ultimately, if United are serious about signing him, they must move quickly to beat the competition, provided his wage demands pose no issue. Should United miss out on Adeyemi, however, they are reportedly weighing up a move for Crysencio Summerville. The Dutchman is available for around £50 million.
