Manchester United transfer news LIVE plus Erik ten Hag manager latest, Darwin Nunez update

Manchester United continue to wait for their next Premier League fixture as they prepare to meet Brentford on Monday night. That comes after Arsenal and Tottenham find themselves in action on Sunday afternoon.

A midweek draw with Chelsea means United are five points behind fourth-placed Arsenal and have also played an extra two games than the Gunners. As such, Ralf Rangnick and his team can only amass 64 points this season, while Arsenal have trotted up 60 with five matches to play.

Beyond the season finale plans are starting to fall into place for the Ten Hag regime. Figures in the boardroom have drawn up the framework for a potential deal involving England midfielder Kalvin Phillips - although his current team Leeds do not expect him to leave this summer.

United transfer negotiator Matt Judge has resigned from his position, meanwhile, as elite players across the board find themselves at the heart of updates and rumours as the market prepares to reopen. United are expected to put in the work for several recruits during the summer window.
