Manchester United are focused on finishing the season strongly, with three Premier League matches and the FA Cup final on the horizon.
Erik ten Hag is desperate to cling onto a place in the top four amid pressure from a resurgent Liverpool side who have won seven in a row. The 2-0 win over Wolves last weekend was much-needed following a disappointing 1-0 defeat by West Ham.
Attention is now turning to Bournemouth on Saturday before the Premier League season is concluded by fixtures against Chelsea and Fulham next week. However, there are other considerations, with the summer transfer window fast approaching and the takeover saga continuing to rumble on.
Here are the latest headlines from the club.
Injury boost
Marcus Rashford and Scott McTominay have returned to training ahead of the season run-in, in a huge boost to Ten Hag.
Rashford missed the Wolves win with a minor problem, but is expected to be involved against Bournemouth on Saturday. McTominay has been sidelined since the 2-0 win over Everton on April 8, and could take longer to return to the side.
Raphael Varane was substituted against Wolves, but it was only a precautionary measure. Marcel Sabitzer is out for the rest of the season.
Napoli star not leaving
Kim Min-jae has been strongly linked with Manchester United of late, but the Napoli centre-back is not thinking about moving to Old Trafford just yet, according to his representatives.
"The transfer to Manchester United is not true," the Napoli defender's agent told Star News. "Currently, Kim Min-jae is focusing on finishing the season.
“In the case of the English Premier League, the qualification to the Champions League or the final standings have not been decided. There is no need to move."
Details of Sheikh Jassim’s bid
Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani has submitted a £5.5billion final bid to buy Manchester United on Tuesday.
The mysterious Qatari banker has made one last roll of the dice as Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his INEOS group edges closer to earning the backing of the Glazers.
Sheikh Jassim is bidding to buy 100 per cent of the club, in contrast to Ratcliffe, who wants around 51 per cent of it and will allow Joel and Avram Glazer to keep around 20 per cent of their shares.
