Erik ten Hag set Jadon Sancho early roll calls in bid to get him to turn up on time, but issues persisted. Training levels prompted deselection for Arsenal + "scapegoat" post made #MUFC prepared to sell to Saudi Arabia. Sancho declined.

Manchester United targeting Arsenal game on September 3 as potential debut date for Rasmus Hojlund.

Striker recovering from back injury with no definitive timeline - has been out on Carrington grass - but expected to miss first three PL matches.

Excerpt from Athletic article:

West Ham have made a £60million ($76.7m) double bid for Harry Maguire and Scott McTominay.

Manchester United rejected a £20m bid for Maguire at the end of July and also dismissed an enquiry close to £30m for McTominay a fortnight ago. But David Moyes is a big admirer of the pair and is pushing for their signings.

Erik ten Hag would ideally like to keep McTominay, but is willing to sanction a sale if the money becomes too good to turn down, with United needing to balance the books after bringing in Mason Mount, Andre Onana, and Rasmus Hojlund.

West Ham’s proposal for Maguire, around £30m, is getting close to the figure United would accept, but the outcome ultimately depends on his decision. Maguire has wanted to stay at United and fight for his place but his England spot will come in jeopardy if he remains behind Lisandro Martinez, Raphael Varane, and Victor Lindelof.
