ESPN’S Julien Laurens believes Jean-Philippe Mateta’s potential move to Nottingham Forest doesn’t make sense for both parties.
– Manchester United sent scouts to watch Eintracht Frankfurt left back Nathaniel Brown during the 2-0 defeat to Tottenham on Wednesday, says TEAMtalk. Brown, 22, has been on the radar of Arsenal and Manchester City in recent months but United have now entered the race and are preparing a £40 million offer to sign the Germany international. Now that Ruben Amorim’s back three has been dispensed with, United are keen to sign a regular full back, rather than a wing back.

Manchester United’s Joshua Zirkzee is reported to be their top target, with a loan being the most likely option. Al Nassr’s Jhon Durán, 22, is also being considered, despite being on loan at Fenerbahce, while 38-year-old Karim Benzema is also tempting Juve after ESPN sources stated that the 38-year-old felt “disrespected” by Al Ittihad’s offer to extend his contract.

Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton, Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson and Brighton & Hove Albion’s Carlos Baleba are on the Red Devils’ radar, but they are aware that each of the trio would be expensive. It would take a fee of over £100 million and wages around £250,000-per-week to sign Palmer.
