EXCL: Man Utd star in advanced talks over exit, Chelsea still trust struggling star, potential Tottenham issue in striker pursuit, and more

Today's biggest transfer stories, featuring a closer look at Man Utd, Chelsea and Spurs.

Man Utd out of Europe plus an update on Donny van de Beek

We start today’s column with Manchester United and their defeat last night to Bayern Munich, which puts them out of the Champions League and out of Europe altogether as they finished bottom of their group.

Once again, this is not good enough for a club of this size. The Man United standard has to be different, it’s not just a normal good club - it’s Manchester United. Something different is needed on the long-term. I think in particular their offensive numbers are too poor, they need to improve in that area as soon as possible and it’s also important to note that they simply have too many injuries, with Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw now too - it’s way too much.

There’s also some important news on Donny van de Beek. He’s going to leave United, as I told you a long time ago, and now things are at an advanced stage for him to move on loan to Eintracht Frankfurt.
