Fixture changes The Premier League have confirmed the fixtures changes for March, with United impacted. Here's a look at the United games that have been moved: Wednesday 4 March 20:15 Newcastle v Man Utd (TNT Sports) Friday 20 March 20:00 Bournemouth v Man Utd (Sky Sports) SEE THE FULL STORY HERE Good afternoon Hello United fans, Amie here again, and I will be with you for the next few hours, bringing you the latest Manchester United news and transfer rumours. First, as always, here's a look at some of the things that you may have missed so far today: Man United injury worry emerges for Arsenal clash as two miss training Man United deliver perfect response to Roy Keane after brutal swipe at coach Diego Simeone to Man United truth clear after sack decision as conditions set for appointment Nicky Butt 'signs new deal' amid Lisandro Martinez spat as concerns over Man Utd icons emerge Mazraoui AFCON return Manchester United have granted Noussair Mazraoui extra time off after the versatile full-back's Africa Cup of Nations campaign ended in heartbreak on Sunday night, with Morocco losing a dramatic and controversial final to Senegal. Mazraoui is expected to report back to Carrington by the end of the week and could yet make the squad when United face Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon. The fact that the game is in a later spot over the weekend gives the 28-year-old time to prove he is ready for a club return. Fitness shouldn't be a problem for Mazraoui, who featured in all seven of Morocco's games in a tournament they hosted, playing a total of 628 minutes, including 98 in the chaotic final in Rabat. Jean-Philippe Mateta transfer stance Mateta has told Crystal Palace he wants to leave the club amid interest from Man United and other Premier League clubs. The French striker, 28, is into the final 18 months of his Selhurst Park contract and has shown no sign of committing to a new deal. Mateta has attracted interest this month from Juventus and Aston Villa, but Palace's reported £40m valuation has yet to be met. Speaking last week, Oliver Glasner admitted that the club are listening to offers for Mateta. He said: "There will be a price that Crystal Palace [accept], with 18 months left on his contract. "We'd do the deal, if the club wants. If nobody pays that price, then he will stay." Yisa Alao latest Chelsea have reportedly emerged as the frontrunners to sign Sheffield Wednesday left‑back Yisa Alao in January, with their offer said to eclipse those from United and Liverpool. According to The Sheffield Star, the Blues are close to landing the 17‑year‑old in a deal involving a high six‑figure fee plus substantial add‑ons. Manchester City and Everton have also registered interest. Angel Gomes on the move Former Manchester United player Angel Gomes is reportedly for sale at Marseille just six months after joining the club. L'Equipe have claimed that the Ligue 1 side want to move the 25-year-old on to create space for Quinten Timber and Hijmad Abdelli. United were linked with Gomes last summer, when his contract at Lille expired. Hull boss confirms Collyer move Sergej Jakirovic says he hopes to conclude a deal to sign Manchester United midfielder Toby Collyer ahead of Saturday's home game with Swansea City. "I think we will complete the deal for Toby this week," Jakirovic told Hull Live after an impressive win in Lancashire. Collyer spent the first half of the season on loan at West Brom before returning. Wildcard striker targeted Man United are one of the clubs in Europe's top teams interested in Vitoria Guimaraes striker Alioune Ndoye, SportsBoom report. The report states that scouts were in attendance to watch the Portuguese League Cup clash between Vitoria and Sporting. Barcelona, Leicester City, Borussia Dortmund and Marseille were also there. Ndoye has scored five goals in 21 games this season. Coaching set-up confirmed after shake-up Manchester United have confirmed the responsibility for coaching the Under-21s is currently being shared between existing coaching staff following Travis Binnion's promotion to the first-team set-up. Binnion served as the U21 lead coach for two-and-a-half years before he stepped up to coach alongside Darren Fletcher during his caretaker stint. When Michael Carrick was appointed, it was confirmed that Binnion would continue to work with the first-team and retain his role in the senior backroom staff. Tom Curtis, formerly U16 head coach, oversaw the U21s' game against Fulham while Binnion helped Fletcher, and Curtis then oversaw his second game in charge of that age group against Wolves. Curtis managed the U21s against Sporting Lisbon in the Premier League International Cup on Tuesday. READ MORE HERE... Huge Yan Diomande price Manchester United have been linked with an interest in RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande. However, the German side are demanding a price of at least €100 million (£86.9m) if they are to sell him. Speaking to Sky, Red Bull's managing director Oliver Mintzlaff said: “With such a young player that we just signed (from Spain’s Leganes last July), you can’t give him away after just one year. "In recent years, RB Leipzig has worked out that even top players can certainly stay longer. As chairman of the supervisory board, I would say that he will still be there next season, even if an offer of €80million or €90m comes.” Ugarte approach made Dutch side Ajax have reportedly made contact with United over a potential deal for midfielder Manuel Ugarte. The Athletic report that Ugarte is on Ajax's list of potential number 6 targets. The club are said to be looking at a loan deal, but United have so far rejected any proposal from Ajax. Ruben Neves decision made Spanish newspaper AS (via Cadena SER) claims that Ruben Neves has already 'chosen' Real Madrid as his next destination amid interest from Manchester United. Those higher up at the club are believed to be considering signing a midfielder and Neves' name is reportedly 'above all' that could arrive at Real this month. AS, quoting Cadena SER journalist Anton Meana, have relayed his comments. He says: "Ruben Neves wants to sign for Real Madrid in this winter market. Coaches of the football department believe that the team needs to reinforce the midfield, but the board have doubts about his performance. "Due to his contract ending in June, they do not see it necessary to pay a transfer fee for him this month. The player has a very juicy renewal offer from Al Hilal, but he wants to play for los Blancos." Yisa Alao offer made Man United are facing competition in the race to sign Sheffield Wednesday teenager Yisa Alao. The Daily Mail have reported that United and Liverpool have both made an offer. United's proposal will see them pay around £400,00 with substantial add-ons. However, it's now said that Chelsea are willing to pay more. The Blues are reported to be ready to offer around £600,000, plus substantial performance-related add-ons. Sunderland's Sadiki stance Sunderland have 'no intention' of selling Noah Sadiki in the current transfer window, amid links to United. The Sun report that United have been impressed by the midfeilder. But Sunderland will stand firm in their not for sale stance. Sadiki is said to be considered as a key player for the Black Cats and is 'untouchable' in the transfer market. De Zerbi breaks silence on United job Marseille boss Roberto De Zerbi has broken his silence amid reports linking him with the permanent head coach role at Manchester United. Speaking on Tuesday before Marseille's Champions League fixture against Liverpool - De Zerbi has attempted to cool rumours linking him with an exit. He said: "My focus is totally on Marseille. I wanted to come here. The day before a very important, very crucial game, I have no space in my head to think about other things. I feel very well in this city with these players, with this club. "As for the future, we have got to speak in the next month. In the next year, I don't know." Mateta on the move After Juventus pulled away from signing Man United target Jean-Philippe Mateta, Aston Villa are now plotting a move for the striker this month with Evann Guessand moving to Crystal Palace, as per The Athletic. Juventus decided against the signing due to be unwilling to match Palace's demands of £34.7m for the striker, whose contract is up in the summer of 2027. United eye two cut-price midfielders Manchester United are reportedly considering two cut-price options as they look to strengthen their midfield. According to talkSPORT, AC Milan's Ruben Loftus-Cheek is on the Red Devils' radar. Discussions between the two clubs are in the preliminary stages, with a loan deal being considered. Another potential target is former Leicester star Wilfred Ndidi. The Nigerian player is currently with Turkish team Besiktas, having left the East Midlands earlier this summer.
