Manchester United closing in on a double transfer swoop for Danish midfielder Christian Eriksen and Dutch defender Tyrell Malacia.

While the shadow of whether Cristiano Ronaldo will remain at the club remains a big one, new United manager Erik ten Hag remains focused on strengthening a squad that finished sixth in the Premier League last season and missed out on a Champions League spot.

Cristiano Ronaldo is a Manchester United legend but would his exit hurt this time?

Eriksen made a miraculous return to football on a short-term deal with Brentford last season after he suffered a cardiac arrest playing for Denmark at Euro 2020 the previous summer.

His previous club, Inter Milan, had to let Eriksen go due to the implantable cardioverter defibrillator he had fitted, which is not permitted in Serie A.

According to The Athletic, the 30-year-old has verbally agreed to join United with a three-year deal being negotiated.

Eriksen played 11 times in the Premier League for Brentford, scoring once and providing four assists and was also targeted by his former club Tottenham Hotspur, but was impressed by Ten Hag after training with his Ajax squad as part of his return to football following the cardiac arrest.

He also returned to the Denmark squad – making an emotional return to the Parken Stadium where he suffered the heart attack – and now has 115 caps, scoring 38 goals along the way

Feyenoord full-back Malacia is set to be the first signing of the Ten Hag era. Having looked set to join Ligue 1 side Lyon, United swooped in for a player who is understood to be costing €15 million ($15.7m), plus €2m in add-ons.

The 22-year-old helped Feyenoord finish third in the Eredivisie last season, making 50 appearances in all competitions, and has won five caps for the Netherlands.

Malacia was at the Carrington training complex to complete his medical on Monday, when United’s international players returned from their summer break.

Ronaldo was conspicuous by his absence from that group just days after it emerged that the veteran attacker had told United he would like to leave if the right offer came in.

United are adamant the 37-year-old will not be sold and are understood to have accepted the striker’s explanation that family issues meant he was unable to report for training.

The move for No 1 target Frenkie de Jong continues to drag on, with United reported to have agreed a €65m deal plus add-ons for the Barcelona midfielder, who has yet to agree personal terms.

Manchester United ratings for 2021/22 season

MANCHESTER UNITED SEASON RATINGS: David de Gea - 8. A candidate for the club’s player of the year, the Spaniard is United’s undisputed number one and the dips in form which allowed Dean Henderson to challenge him have gone. Spoke out far more this season, as he should have done given his status as a senior member. He’s now 11th in United’s all-time appearance chart with 487. He’d prefer a team trophy to any such plaudits, but his side conceded far too many goals, but that was down to the players in front of him rather than the Madrileno who played far more minutes than any of his teammates.

Dean Henderson - 5. A threat to De Gea’s position during lockdown, Henderson did at least push the Spaniard into getting his act together again. Contracting Covid before the season commenced set him back and he could never get a chance and started only three games all season. As he showed in the previous season, he’s a very good goalkeeper who deserves to be playing regularly. He’s also likely to attract a bigger fee than any other United player this summer. EPA

Aaron Wan-Bissaka - 3. A complete regression for the right-back who has got worse in each of his three seasons at Old Trafford . Played every single minute of the first 13 league games of the season, when the low point was leaving his man to try and retrieve the ball before Liverpool’s opener. Tackles well but doesn’t offer enough going forward, his crossing is poor and and so is positioning at the other end. His last three appearances saw United lose all three, scoring no goals and conceding nine. We understand he wants to stay at Old Trafford and is contracted until 2024, but his new boss’ view of him will be the most important one. EPA

Phil Jones - 4. Thankfully, he’s back after a horrendous run of injuries. Thankfully, showed he’s still capable of playing Premier League football. The support he received playing against Wolves at Old Trafford contrasted sharply with the previous abuse he suffered. Jones is not United’s future and would be better off playing regularly elsewhere. AP

Harry Maguire - 4. His worst season as a United player and in professional football. United’s captain had been a key squad member until an injury in May 2020. Like many who played in Euro 2020, he struggled at the start of the season and was rushed back for Leicester away, but unlike others he kept his place. Unfairly became a figure of mockery when even his good performances were overlooked. Defends well and in the eight games he missed United only won once, but with his confidence hit he made too many errors and looked less secure the further forward he went. He’s determined to stay captain and get back to where he was. Plenty of United fans will back him to do so, as will his new manager. PA

Raphael Varane - 5. Such high hopes when he signed from Real Madrid, but such an underwhelming season followed for him. Varane is a world-class defender and he showed that against Atletico. With a proper pre-season behind him, something he didn’t have last term, he hopes to prove it to United fans. And even when he missed far too many games, he still won a higher percentage of duels than any defender apart from Virgil van Dijk. Awful in the 0-4 defeat at Brighton as the home side cut through United time and again. EPA

Victor Lindelof - 4. Should be in the prime of his career, but he is another with a poor season to his name. His performance at right back away to Atletico was painful to watch. Did well in the opening two games when Varane’s signing was considered imminent, then lost his place to the Frenchman but won it back since Varane was too often injured. Catching Covid didn’t help, nor three managers and the ever-shifting defensive selections. Known as the Ice Man at Benfica, he melted in key moments this season, though it wasn’t just his fault because there was too much space around him to be exploited. He’s well rated at Carrington, let’s see what his new boss thinks of him. AFP

Luke Shaw - 4. Another defender who regressed – they all did. Shaw, 26, had his Euro 2020 hangover but started in 11 of the 12 opening league games. Tangling with Maguire before Liverpool went 2-0 up after 13 minutes was a low point. His side was 4-0 down at half time for the first time in 31 years. United’s defence conceded 57 goals – four more than relegated Burnley. AP

Alex Telles - 5. The Brazilian, 29, got the opportunities after Solskjaer departed and didn’t start in a game United lost until Man City away in March, but in the biggest game at home to Atletico, he turned into his man and lost possession before the ball came in for Atletico’s opener from his side, as it had for their disallowed goal. Suspect when defending, capable of the best crosses at the club and a decent assists too but doesn’t look like a top class full-back. Getty

Steadied himself defensively but still too erratic for his position and didn’t find consistency. It wasn’t easy in a failing, flailing, team. EPA

Jadon Sancho - 5. Overall, a disappointing first season after his vast transfer from Dortmund.

Five goals was a poor return, too. AFP

Took United’s 100th corner of the season in January – they’d resulted in zero goals. He signed a huge new contract, not that he’s not been playing well enough to convince fans he deserved it.

Paul Pogba - 4. Another disappointment and one 95 per cent of fans in one poll would be happy to see go.

He started only 16 league games. Brilliant for France, he scored a pitiful one goal. At 29, he should be at his peak.

How Islam's view of posthumous transplant surgery changed

Transplants from the deceased have been carried out in hospitals across the globe for decades, but in some countries in the Middle East, including the UAE, the practise was banned until relatively recently.

Opinion has been divided as to whether organ donations from a deceased person is permissible in Islam.

The body is viewed as sacred, during and after death, thus prohibiting cremation and tattoos.

One school of thought viewed the removal of organs after death as equally impermissible.

That view has largely changed, and among scholars and indeed many in society, to be seen as permissible to save another life.
