Today's Man Utd news as scouts watch 'next Erling Haaland' and Mason Greenwood called out

Scouts watch 'next Erling Haaland'

United are reportedly keeping tabs on Austrian talent Oghenetejiri Adejenughure, who has been compared to Manchester City talisman Erling Haaland. The Red Devils have sent scouts to get a closer look at the teenage forward, according to the Daily Star.

Adejenughure, who plays for second-tier club Liefering, has been in fine form over the last few months. He has already caught the eye of former United boss and current Austria manager Ralf Rangnick, who recently invited him to train with the senior players.

United are reportedly convinced they could sign Adejenughure for a relatively small fee at the end of the season. They are eager to strengthen their ranks in attack but are said to view the 18-year-old as a possible star of the future.

Other clubs are likely to be interested in landing the forward when the summer window opens. The report adds that AC Milan and Borussia Dortmund are shaping up to rival United for his signature, with a bidding war potentially on the horizon.

Mason Greenwood brutally called out

Marseille midfielder Adrien Rabiot singled out Mason Greenwood and the rest of his team-mates for criticism following their defeat to Reims. A second-half collapse saw the French giants dealt a major blow in the battle for Champions League qualification.

Rabiot was not best pleased with the performance of his fellow Marseille players, saying after the final whistle: "It hurts to show this state of mind. We have objectives and that’s not enough.

"I feel like I’m watching guys who don’t want to go to the Champions League, who don’t want to fight to experience that. There are players here who have never played in it, who may never play in it. I don’t understand why we’re not more hungry on the pitch.

"We need to have a different mentality. There are teams behind us who are keen. That’s why I came [to play for Champions League football]. If others don’t want to, they should say so before the matches and let others play."

INEOS risk upsetting Ruben Amorim

Ruben Amorim appears to be facing a confrontation with INEOS over the potential sale of Bruno Fernandes. Real Madrid are said to be interested in the United skipper, having reportedly identified him as a possible successor to Luka Modric.

Amorim is seemingly determined to avoid losing his captain but INEOS are looking to make cuts and raise money where possible. They would reportedly be open to accepting a 'big offer' in the region of £90million.

A cash injection of this scale would go a long way towards balancing the books at Old Trafford. Fernandes is also one of the club's highest earners, with the 30-year-old thought to be taking home around £300,000 per week.

However, selling him would likely put INEOS on a collision course with Amorim given his desire to keep the midfielder. It would also risk a backlash from supporters, further dividing the fanbase and causing more problems at United.
