Man Utd in talks for Everton's George
Manchester United is currently in discussions with Everton defender Gabby George regarding a potential transfer, as the club has agreed to meet her release clause of approximately £150,000. This decision follows the departure of Ona Batlle to Barcelona on a free transfer, leaving United in search of a new full-back throughout the summer.
George has been with Everton for more than nine years after leaving United's academy as a teenager and is the cousin of former United winger Jesse Lingard.

We News reporter Anton Toloui:
Manchester United's ambitious approach in this transfer window is evident with the possible signing of George, a talented defender from Everton. Despite Everton's initial unwillingness to let go of the player, reliable sources at We News have confirmed that United has successfully met her release clause of approximately £150,000.
Geyse, who recently triumphed in the Champions League with Barcelona, has been signed for a club-record fee. Additionally, the World Cup Golden Boot winner, Hinata Miyazawa, adds to the exciting options upfront for Marc Skinner's squad. However, the task of replacing Russo and Batlle is challenging, especially considering that Man Utd is gearing up for their inaugural Champions League challenge.
