CASH FOR CITY
Manchester City will reportedly receive a 15 per cent sell-on fee if Jadon Sancho is sold this summer.
If true, United could be signing a huge cheque to their local rivals should they complete a deal for the Borussia Dortmund star.
ICYMI – RED ROM
Manchester United are preparing a £39million bid for Atalanta defender Cristian Romero, according to reports.
The Italian side are reportedly planning to make his loan from Juventus permanent for £21.5m before cashing in on his services.
According to Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport, Atalanta will take up an option in the 23-year-old’s loan deal to sign him permanently.
The fee is believed to be £21.5m – but some rumours suggest it could be as low as £13.75m.
Reports claim the Serie A side will then look to sell Romero for €45m – around £39m – and make a huge profit.
And the Red Devils are said to be leading the race for the Argentina international’s signature.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOU MACARI
It’s Lou Macari’s 72nd birthday today!
The midfielder played more than 400 games for United during an 11-year stint, helping them win promotion to the top flight in 1975 and pick up the FA Cup two years later.
BISSAKA CRACKER
Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s stunner against Newcastle earlier this season is United’s goal of the day.
Decent hit, to be fair…
NO JOSHING AROUND
Manchester United are reportedly chasing England Under 16 captain Josh Feeney over a potential summer move.
The Mail claim the centre-back is set to leave Fleetwood at the end of the month and the Red Devils have made an enquiry to the League One side.
The report adds that Aston Villa are viewed as front-runners to sign highly-rated Feeney.
The 16-year-old scored for England as captain during their 6-0 win over Northern Ireland on Thursday.
And he linked up with two United players during that game – goalkeeper Tom Wooster and potential defensive partner Louis Jackson.
Fleetwood are said to have been fielding bids for Feeney, with the youngster likely to cost a significant six-figure sum.
He has the freedom to choose his next club from July 1 but his transfer fee will be decided by a tribunal if an agreement cannot be reached.
KEEP CALM & HARRY ON
England stumbled to victory in their last game before the Euros – but thankfully the best is still to come from Gareth Southgate’s side.
Southgate criticised the team’s limp display against Romania but with six days until their big kick-off the Three Lions look set to step up a level.
Jordan Henderson got better as the game went on in his first game for three months while Harry Maguire is back running to boost the defensive options before the Croatia clash.
HAA-RD BALL
Chelsea have held talks with Manchester United transfer target Erling Haaland about a potential move this summer, according to reports.
The Borussia Dortmund striker is perhaps the hottest property on the market currently, with Real Madrid, Barcelona and both Manchester clubs also interested.
But it is the Blues who could hold the upper hand, with Roman Abramovich ready to fund a £154.5million pound move – which is Dortmund’s asking price.
According to journalist Kristof Terreur, Haaland’s future is unpredictable, though he did reveal the talks between Chelsea and the 20-year-old.
He told The Football Terrace: “I know that there have been talks with Haaland’s people before, but Haaland is a difficult one to predict, too.
“Definitely, since Dortmund qualified for the Champions League, you feel that now they have an extra reason to keep him.
“But Haaland is the one that everybody wants to get and I would wait for him.”
THE RASHFORD REVOLUTION
JESUS IN, CRIST OUT
Juventus are reportedly preparing a move for Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus this summer.
But the Serie A side will only make an approach for the Brazilian if Cristiano Ronaldo leaves.
Ronaldo, 36, has been the subject of significant transfer speculation, with Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United linked.
And according to Gazzetta dello Sport, via Football Italia, Juventus have already started looking for his replacement, with Jesus topping their wishlist.
PSG striker Mauro Icardi and Fiorentina striker Dusan Vlahovic are also believed to be on the shortlist, with Massimiliano Allegri keen to improve his forward options.
Also, new sporting director Federico Cherubini is said to be plotting a renewal of Alvaro Morata’s loan deal.
The report states that Jesus could be sacrificed by City as they raise funds to sign Harry Kane.
TRIPP UP
Kieran Trippier has told England team-mates he is keen to secure a move to Manchester United.
The Red Devils are considering a summer swoop for the Atletico Madrid ace as they try to build a squad capable of challenging for the Premier League title next season.
Boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes the 30-year-old is the ideal player to strengthen his defensive options and also provide competition for Aaron Wan-Bissaka at right-back.
And though he has been a big hit in Spain, it appears the ex-Tottenham man is excited about the prospect of a switch to Old Trafford in his native North-West if the opportunity arises.
GREAL DEAL
SunSport’s Duncan Wright has delivered his England player ratings…
SAM JOHNSTONE – 7 Wayward early kick, but couple of smart low saves on debut. Then saved well with his feet – before stunning stop to deny equaliser.
BEN GODFREY – 6 Capable display at the back, pushed forward to link up in attack. Steady full debut overall.
BEN WHITE – 7 Calm in possession, looked more assured than defensive partner Mings. Impressive full debut.
TYRONE MINGS – 5 Lapse in concentration in first 30 seconds highlighted fears about ability at highest level. Didn’t improve much afterwards.
LUKE SHAW – 6 Switched off twice to allow Romania in, pushed forward at every possibility. Steady without impressing.
KALVIN PHILLIPS – 6 Pressured well out of possession, quiet on the ball. Went about job without fuss and will be reliable if needed.
JAMES WARD-PROWSE – 8 Busy on and off the ball, excellent in possession and made late claim to manager for selection. Set piece delivery an added bonus.
JADON SANCHO – 7 Looked dangerous from the off, unlucky with shot against bar. Came short too often as England struggled to create.
JACK GREALISH – 8 Ignored the rough challenges to grow in influence, won the penalty and looked biggest threat for England.
MARCUS RASHFORD – 6 Not helped by making runs but not being spotted. Shot wide after one trademark burst, but held nerve to score from spot.
DOMINIC CALVERT-LEWIN – 6 Unlucky with fine header against bar, but should have scored from close range in second half. Quiet display.
RASH DECISION
ENGLAND will ‘win more’ with Jack Grealish in the starting XI.
That is the opinion of Manchester United star Marcus Rashford.
The forward, 23, told ITV: “Jack is a great player. He will grow and grow in an England shirt.
“We know what he can do. It is about us all working so that he can realise that potential in an England shirt.
“We will win more games with him in the team.”
NO EXCUSES
Paul Pogba is wary of going home from Euro 2020 empty handed and has issued a stern warning to his team-mates as a result.
He told Eurosport: “We have a PlayStation team but it will remain a PlayStation team if we don’t win a trophy.
“Being world champions and having a team like that, we will be expected to do even more.
“We must remain humble. I want to give this message: it’s not a foregone conclusion. We hear a lot of talk but we keep our feet on the ground.”
KIER WE GO
Arsenal could try and hijack Kieran Trippier’s move to Manchester United this summer, according to reports.
But the former Spurs ace would rather sign for the Red Devils.
SunSport exclusively revealed last week that Trippier, 30, has told his England team-mates that he’d like to return to the Premier League with Man United.
But Atletico may try and flog him elsewhere, against his wishes.
According to Marca, Diego Simeone’s side could try and use Trippier in a deal with Arsenal, in which Hector Bellerin would move the other way.
MCTOMINAY NAMES FAVOURITE STADIUM
Midfielder Scott McTominay has named his favourite stadium to visit with Manchester United.
Speaking to the club website, he said: “I don’t like PSG because it’s got the track round it. I’m not a fan of the tracks round it, like Roma.
“I like everything to be where there’s people [close]. I’d probably go… I don’t really know to be fair.
“Tottenham’s new stadium is a belter and we won there.”
BRILLIANT BEN
Chelsea ace Ben Chilwell should start ahead of Manchester United star Luke Shaw for England at the Euros.
That’s the verdict of legendary Arsenal left-back Nigel Winterburn.
He told SunSport via FreeSuperTips: “I wouldn’t mind if either of them played, but if I’m to pick one I’d go Chilwell just based on the feel-good factor.
“He’s been in great form and Chelsea had an unbelievable finish to the season, so I’d go that way.
“The question is whether Southgate goes with four or five at the back and if he prefers one or the other based on the system.
“[Bukayo] Saka is another player who could equally play in that position, so England have some good options there.”
DOR CLOSED
Manchester United, City and Chelsea have reportedly been dealt a major blow in their pursuits of Borussia Dortmund star Erling Haaland.
All three Premier League giants, as well as Real Madrid and Barcelona, have been heavily linked with the Norwegian ace.
But Dortmund are determined to keep the 20-year-old for another year.
According to AS, the German giants have slapped a £172million (€200m) price tag on their talismanic forward.
Should Haaland stay for the upcoming season, a release clause a little under £70m will activate next summer.
MAKING HIS MARC
Marcus Rashford was beaming with pride after leading England to victory as captain against Romania on Sunday.
The Manchester United forward scored the only goal of the game from the penalty spot to hand the Three Lions a 1-0 victory in their final match before Euro 2020.
Speaking after the game, he told ITV:
“It’s definitely a great moment for me.
“It’s something you dream of when you’re a kid and today I managed to accomplish that dream.”
RED ROM
Manchester United are preparing a £39million bid for Atalanta defender Cristian Romero, according to reports.
The Italian side are reportedly planning to make his loan from Juventus permanent for £21.5m before cashing in on his services.
According to Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport, Atalanta will take up an option in the 23-year-old’s loan deal to sign him permanently.
The fee is believed to be £21.5m – but some rumours suggest it could be as low as £13.75m.
Reports claim the Serie A side will then look to sell Romero for €45m – around £39m – and make a huge profit.
And the Red Devils are said to be leading the race for the Argentina international’s signature.
TRIPP UP
Kieran Trippier has told England team-mates he is keen to secure a move to Manchester United.
The Red Devils are considering a summer swoop for the Atletico Madrid ace as they try to build a squad capable of challenging for the Premier League title next season.
Boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes the 30-year-old is the ideal player to strengthen his defensive options and also provide competition for Aaron Wan-Bissaka at right-back.
And though he has been a big hit in Spain, it appears the ex-Tottenham man is excited about the prospect of a switch to Old Trafford in his native North-West if the opportunity arises.
SAN-GO
Manchester United are reportedly set to finally land Jadon Sancho – for nearly £30million less than he’d have cost last summer.
The Red Devils have long wanted to sign the England star, having been wowed by his performances in the Bundesliga.
But Dortmund dug their heels in last year, demanding £108m.
United refused to match their asking price and Sancho stayed in Germany.
This time around, however, the Red Devils look set to finally secure their target.
According to The Mirror, Dortmund will accept £81.5m for the 21-year-old.
Manchester City are set to receive £12.25m from the deal, having included a 15 per cent sell on clause when Sancho moved to Dortmund as a 17-year-old.
KEEP CALM & HARRY ON
England stumbled to victory in their last game before the Euros – but thankfully the best is still to come from Gareth Southgate’s side.
Southgate criticised the team’s limp display against Romania but with six days until their big kick-off the Three Lions look set to step up a level.

GOOD MORNING UNITED FANS
Kieran Trippier has told England team-mates he is keen to secure a move to Manchester United, SunSport’s Duncan Wright has exclusively revealed.
The Red Devils are considering a summer swoop for the Atletico Madrid ace as they try to build a squad capable of challenging for the Premier League title next season.
The ex-Tottenham man is excited about the prospect of a switch to Old Trafford in his native North-West if the opportunity arises.
Another rumour links United with a move for Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans.
Liverpool have been credited with an interest in the Belgian international but now United have been mentioned as a potential destination for the player.
According to Belgian journalist Sven Claes, United want to sign the player and one of the elite Spanish teams are also said to be keen on the player.
Claes also tips Tielemans’ value to be at around £55million.
And on the Jadon Sancho latest, United are reportedly set to finally land the winger – for nearly £30m less than he’d have cost last summer.
The Red Devils have long wanted to sign the England star, having been wowed by his performances in the Bundesliga.
But Dortmund dug their heels in last year, demanding £108m. According to The Mirror, Dortmund will accept £81.5m for the 21-year-old.
LAZ CALL
Manchester United midfielder Andreas Pereira has confirmed that he wants to stay at Lazio following his season-long loan spell.
Since arriving in Italy last summer, the 25-year-old has gone on to feature in 33 matches, in all competitions, directly contributing to five goals, along the way.
However, with his loan contract set to end at the end of the month, Pereira is now preparing to return to his parent club back in Manchester.
Addressing his long-term future, while speaking recently to Tuttomercatoweb, the South American said: “Premier League, Serie A, and La Liga? They are super leagues.
“The English one is very physical, and as you can see, I don’t have the ideal physique. Joking aside, I loved playing in England; Spanish football is more my style of play.
“Future? I would like to stay and play for Lazio again, but this depends on the discussion with United and what they will want to do with me.
“I have a contract with the club; it’s like a second home for me. I have been there since I was 16; I always talk to the people who work for the club.”
KIE TARGET
Kieran Trippier has told England team-mates he is keen to secure a move to Manchester United, SunSport’s Duncan Wright has exclusively revealed.
The Red Devils are considering a summer swoop for the Atletico Madrid ace as they try to build a squad capable of challenging for the Premier League title next season.
The ex-Tottenham man is excited about the prospect of a switch to Old Trafford in his native North-West if the opportunity arises.
The former Burnley defender remains central to Atleti’s plans having been instrumental in helping Diego Simeone’s side to the LaLiga title.
But United believe they can persuade the Spaniards to strike a deal if they come up with a bid in the region of £15million-£20m.
