Manchester United transfer news LIVE Man Utd takeover updates and Storm Babet latest

Manchester United are looking to secure three points tonight as they face Sheffield United, who currently sit at the bottom of the Premier League standings. Sheffield United has only managed to earn one point from their first eight games, and their last home game ended in an 8-0 defeat. Unfortunately, United will be without Casemiro due to a minor injury he sustained while on international duty in Brazil. However, there is a possibility that Sergio Reguilon and Raphael Varane will be available for selection. Additionally, Victor Lindelof will be able to play despite the tragic attacks on two Sweden fans prior to their qualifier against Belgium. The recent takeover news may provide some excitement for the away fans, even though Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al-Thani has recently withdrawn from the race. Sir Jim Ratcliffe is expected to invest 25% and take sporting control of the club. Despite this, protests against the Glazers, the current American owners, are likely to continue. Stay updated with the latest news, views, and transfer rumors from Manchester United below.
