Manchester United are working to revamp their squad this summer. Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard, Juan Mata, Nemanja Matic and Edinson Cavani are all set to leave at the end of this month.
Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo has said that he is happy at Old Trafford. Elsewhere, Noel Whelan has advised the Red Devils to sign a Benfica striker.
On that note, here's a look at the key Manchester United transfer stories as on 3 June 2022:
Cristiano Ronaldo happy at Old Trafford
Cristiano Ronaldo has revealed that he is happy at Old Trafford.
The Portuguese joined Manchester United from Juventus last summer and endured a mixed season. With the Red Devils missing out on the UEFA Champions League, the 37-year-old’s future is up in the air.
However, speaking to the club's website, Ronaldo hinted that he could be staying at the club beyond the summer.
"I was happy, of course, to be back in a club that really raised my career, so it was unbelievable, the feeling when I came back again. It was nice to feel the supporters - the happiness of them was great."
He added:
"I was and still am very happy to be here, and what I have to say to the fans is they are amazing. Even when we lost games, they always support us, they always are with us. The supporters are always in my heart, and it's the people that we all should respect because they are always on our side."
He continued:
"For me, the most important thing is to try to win the games and try to win some championship or some cup, but I believe that Manchester will be where they belong. As I say before, sometimes it takes time, but I still believe."
Noel Whelan advises Manchester United to sign Darwin Nunez
Former Leeds United striker Noel Whelan has advised Manchester United to sign Darwin Nunez. The Uruguayan striker enjoyed a brilliant 2021-22 campaign, scoring 34 goals from 41 games for Benfica. The 22-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford.
Speaking to Football Insider, Whelan said that Nunez could help ease the goalscoring load on Ronaldo.
“I think they need to sign a striker, that’s for sure. You’ve got players at Man United where you aren’t sure what position they play. What is Rashford – a number nine, a winger, or a number ten? He’s played in so many different positions and he’s so out of form as well,” said Whelan.
He added:
“Everything just needs freshening up at that football club. They do need to bring in an out-and-out striker like Nunez who can give them three, four, five years. Because when they’ve tried certain players leading the line, it just hasn’t worked.
Fernandes, for example. Ronaldo came up with the goods, but he’s at the back end of his career. If they get someone else chipping in with 15-20 goals – it could be a different season.”
Frank McAvennie happy to see Ralf Rangnick leave
Former West Ham United striker Frank McAvennie is delighted to see Ralf Rangnick leave Old Trafford. The German manager was previously expected to take up a consultant role at Manchester United after the arrival of Erik ten Hag. However, he recently parted ways with the Red Devils.
Speaking to Football Insider, McAvennie said that the Dutch manager didn’t want to work with Rangnick.
“I think he was leaving anyway, even if he didn’t take the Austria job. It went from bad to worse under him. It’s a strange one, but he had to go. He wasn’t big enough to go in there. Nobody had heard of him. He had no real credentials, but that was the same as Ole,” said McAvennie.
He added:

Any new manager appointed by MU it a waste with Ronaldo around. He no more at his best anymore. Yes he can get 18 goal per season but he have denied more game for Sancho Dan Rasford. This 2 young lad are much energetic than Ronaldo. It's seem MU betting on old horse.
Your logic makes sense considering that you are a Liverpool fan. A father who is eager to sort out the mess of another man's house is as good as a fool. Sancho and Rashford both play as wingers, Ronaldo played as a CF hence he directly affected Cavani. These two you are mentioning were outclassed by Greenwood and Elanga. If you want someone to blame, then go for those kids

Just get rid of those unwanted united players, united won't get what they want in this transfer window de Jong, timber or Darwin won't be coming i think just give the youngsters a chance in every department and we build from there slowly...

When Rashford was given game time we both saw he fail so to Sancho and Cr7 gave United what he needs

warped mentality Sancho was given game time as much as rashford n they failed to show up ... Ronaldo should have scored much more had rashford, Sancho, Fernandes supplied him balls. stop the pity party adv for poor performance
