Ndoye hopes dashed

Manchester United's hopes of signing Dan Ndoye have suffered a significant blow after Bologna moved to hand him a new long-term deal. The winger has impressed for the Serie A side, scoring the winner as they beat AC Milan in the Coppa Italia final.

His current contract expires in the summer of 2027 and Bologna are now preparing to offer a 'significant' increase on his salary. Bologna hope that will be enough to force United to end their interest.

Triple move urged

United legend has urged his former club to make three key moves this summer. Rooney believes the Red Devils should bring back David De Gea, make Victor Osimhen their top striker target and make a 'difficult' move for skipper Marc Guehi.

"I'd sign David de Gea back. I think Manchester United have missed him and I think he would do an amazing job. Second I'd sign Osimhen as a number nine," Rooney told Amazon Prime.

"He's a good striker and possibly available. The third one I'd sign, it would probably be difficult, but I'd try to sign Guehi from Crystal Palace. As a centre-back he'd have a really good impact."
