Heaton extends, Casemiro exits as Tonali links swirl

Heaton stays, Casemiro goes

Tom Heaton has accepted the club's offer and is set to sign a contract extension, extending his stay at Old Trafford (1). The 38-year-old goalkeeper, a United youth product, adds experienced depth behind the sticks.

Meanwhile, Casemiro has officially left Manchester United and is now a free agent (4). The Brazilian departs after winning two trophies in red — the Carabao Cup and FA Cup.

Tonali talk heats up

Newcastle have reportedly opened the door for Sandro Tonali to leave this summer, with Manchester United named as a potential destination (3). A separate report claims both Manchester United and Manchester City are "the most likely destinations" for the Italian midfielder, who is valued at around £100 million (5). One report even suggests Newcastle may "sacrifice" the £87 million-rated playmaker (3).

Bowen floated as summer target

Jarrod Bowen is being pushed as an ideal summer signing for United's attack. The West Ham winger has been called the "best winger" available, with five specific reasons laid out for why United should move for him (2).

Fan-reaktioner

The mood among supporters is split between farewells and frustration. The Casemiro goodbye post struck a chord — fans are sharing memories of his trophy lifts and that Old Trafford embrace. But the FA Youth Cup row with City has drawn irritation, with one popular post noting the FA will now review competition rules. link
