Manchester United transfer news LIVE Mason Mount latest as United 'step up' Andre Onana interest

Manchester United are now less than three weeks away from their pre-season opener against arch-rivals Leeds United.

The Reds are scheduled to get their pre-season campaign underway against the Championship outfit in Oslo, Norway, on Wednesday, July 12. It will mark the first of seven friendlies that Erik ten Hag's side will play ahead of their Premier League campaign getting underway on Monday, August 14.

Both Ten Hag and United's supporters will be hoping that the club will have made progress with their summer recruitment drive by the time pre-season gets underway. It has been a fairly quiet start to the summer for the Reds, who are yet to complete their first signing of the transfer window.

However, United have tabled a second offer for Chelsea ace Mason Mount. The Reds submitted a new and improved offer for the England international yesterday, understood to be worth up to £50million.

Meanwhile, today marks exactly seven months to the day since the Glazers put United up for sale. The situation remains ongoing and is still no closer to being brought to a close.
