  • Paul in good time

    Paul Pogba is considering his next transfer move as he enjoys a holiday in the United States, writes Kealan Hughes.

    Manchester United announced Pogba’s departure this week – ending a six-year spell at the club.

    Pogba, 29, ran down his contract at the club and is now available on a free transfer amid interest from Juventus, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.

    The midfielder is reportedly yet to make up his mind on who to join but will base his decision on football reasons, according to Sky Sports.

    Pogba is prepared to take his time as he is aware this could be the final big move of his career.

    The Frenchman is believed to have received a deal from former club Juventus, who have offered him £130,000 a week.

    It is possible Pogba will decide his future once he completes his holiday with pre-season around a month away.

  • Varane barrier gets worse

    Manchester United centre-back Raphael Varane’s injury hell continues and he will be sidelined during all of France’s Nations League matches this month.

    The French national team announced that Varane is feeling muscular pain in the left thigh and will miss all three of Les Bleus’ next games.

    The centre-back has been replaced by Liverpool ace Ibrahima Konate, who stood out for the Reds this season in the Premier League and the Champions League.

    France are scheduled to take on Croatia away on Monday before travelling to Austria to face Ralf Rangnick’s men on Friday.

    Didier Deschamps’ side will then lock horns with Croatia once more in the reverse fixture at Stade de France on June 13.

    Varane was one of United’s saving graces this past season, which saw the Manchester giants producing their worst ever Premier League campaign.

    The 29-year-old joined the Red Devils from Real Madrid last summer following a £42million deal. The France international amassed a total of 29 appearances across all competitions on his debut campaign at Old Trafford.

    However, the defender had to sit out of several matches due to a series of groin, hamstring and muscular injuries. The Frenchman also tested positive for coronavirus in March and missed the derby with rivals Manchester City at the Etihad.

  • Less of Maur could mean Mour of Jose

    PSG are lining up ex-chelsea and Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho to replace Mauricio Pochettino.

    The French champions are on the verge of parting company with Pochettino, who has walked a tight rope for the last two seasons.

    And SunSport understands the Parisians are contemplating replacing the Argentine with the resurgent Mourinho.

    The Portuguese breathed new life into his floundering managerial career with Serie big boys Roma last season.

    The Special One guided the Italians to Europa Conference League glory last month and a sixth-place league finish.

    And the 59-year-old’s stellar debut season at the Stadio Olimpico has promoted PSG chiefs to weigh up a summer swoop for his services.

  • Axe to fall on Red Devils’ duo

    Manchester United will sell Eric Bailly and Axel Tuanzebe this summer.

    United will move the defensive duo on as new manager Erik ten Hag aims to reshape his new side’s leaky defence.

    Bailly penned a new four-year deal in April 2021, but hardly featured last season.

    Tuanzebe is coming off disappointing loan spells at Aston Villa and Napoli.

    According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the decision has already been made for the pair to leave Old Trafford ahead of next season.

  • PSG want the special one

    Ex-Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is being lined up to replace Mauricio Pochettino at Paris Saint-Germain.

    The French champions are on the verge of parting company with Pochettino, who has been walking a tight rope for the last two seasons.

    And SunSport understands the Parisians are contemplating the Argentine with the resurgent Mourinho.

  • Ex-Red Devil Tevez retires

    Carlos Tevez has announced his retirement at the age of 38.

    The striker had an illustrious career spanning seven clubs and three continents but has decided now is the right time to hang up his boots.

    The Argentine has been without a club since leaving Boca Juniors at the end of last season, declaring he was mentally unfit to continue at the club.

    Tevez believed he was capable of playing for several more years but revealed he rejected the opportunity to sign for a new club, turning down offers from MLS.

    The former Manchester United star said he found it difficult to continue playing after the death of his adopted father Segundo Raimundo in February 2021 – whom he described as his biggest fan.

    He said in a statement: “I have retired, it is confirmed.

    “They offered me many things, including from the United States. But that’s it, I have given everything.

    “Playing the last year was very difficult but I was able to see my old man. I stopped playing because I lost my number one fan.”

  • Mata could join Prem rival

    Manchester United outcast Juan Mata is considering a move to another Premier League team, according to reports.

    The Spaniard, 34, is set to leave Old Trafford when his contract expires at the end of this month, writes Emillia Hawkins.

    Since joining the Red Devils in 2014 he made 285 appearances and scored 51 goals – but he has hardly featured in the squad this season.

    While his next club is currently unknown, The Times have reported that he could be willing to stay in England.

    And he is refusing to rule out a potential move to a Premier League rival.

  • Dybala transfer blow

    Manchester United have been dealt a blow in their pursuit of departing Juventus star Paulo Dybala.

    Inter Milan have reportedly been holding talks with Dybala and are optimistic that a deal can be struck.

    The 28-year-old is set to leave Juve this summer when his contract expires.

    And the forward is not short of suitors, with both United and Spurs said to be keen on his services.

    The North Londoners reportedly held discussions over a potential deal last month.

    But the Argentina international has also been in direct talks with Inter vice president Javier Zanetti, according to Fabrizio Romano

  • Cav some of that

    Serie A minnows Salernitana are reportedly interested in signing soon-to-be free agent Edinson Cavani.

    The 35-year-old is out on contract at the end of June, ending his two-year stay at Manchester United.

    Time isn’t on Cavani’s side but one last dance in the Italian top-flight could be on the cards.

    Serie A minnows Salernitana, whose captain is Bayern Munich legend Franck Ribery, would like to bring Cavani back to Italy.

    Cavani made his name in Italy, starring for Palermo and Napoli before moving on to Paris Saint-Germain.

    Salernitana president Danilo Iervolino told Corriere: “I’d love to sign Edinson Cavani as free agent.

    “Cavani would be an incredible gift for the city, as Salernitana are staying in Serie A.”

  • On the Serge

    Manchester United will pursue Lazio star Sergej Milinkovic-Savic as an alternative to Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong.

    De Jong, 25, said this week he still believes he is at his “dream” club and wants to stay.

    Journalist Pete O’Rourke told GiveMeSport: “I think he’s somebody who United will be pursuing to bring into that midfield, and he’s probably more attainable than a Frenkie de Jong right now.

    “So, I think United will be trying to do something on this and trying to bring him to Old Trafford despite after all these years of speculation of him possibly moving there.”

  • Man Utd Bail out

    Manchester United will sell Eric Bailly and Axel Tuanzebe this summer.

    United will move the defensive duo on as new manager Erik ten Hag aims to reshape his new side’s leaky defence.

  • Ronaldo snubbed Players’ Player of the Year award

    Cristiano Ronaldo was snubbed by his Manchester United team-mates as David de Gea won the Players’ Player of the Year award.

    The 37-year-old superstar Ronaldo had an admirable individual season, scoring 24 goals in all competitions.

    However goalkeeper De Gea, 31, took home the prize after playing every single minute of United’s league campaign.

    The Spaniard was named man of the match seven times during a disappointing overall campaign for the Red Devils.

    Ronaldo saved the bacon of his United team-mates several times, including a sensational hat-trick against Norwich to avoid an embarrassing result.

    He scored six vital goals in seven Champions League games, but it wasn’t enough to get through Atletico Madrid in the last-16.

    In the end, only Golden Boot award winners, Mo Salah and Son Heung-min, scored more than the Portuguese captain.

  • Darwin Nunez plea

    Benfica star Darwin Nunez has been told not to pursue a transfer to Manchester United and to instead join Liverpool by former Kop star Jose Enrique.

    Enrique took to Instagram to highlight an article which suggested Nunez was set to move to United, giving a passionate answer to the reports.

    He said: “I hope this is not true and he comes to us instead.

    “We should go for him, a top player who can become world class under Klopp if we sell Sadio Mane”

  • Wan to go

    Crystal Palace are looking to re-sign Manchester United ace Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

    That is according to London News Online, who report that Roma are also keen on Wan-Bissaka.

    The same report claims that the right-back could be deemed as surplus to requirements by new United manager Erik ten Hag.

    The England international was sold to the Red Devils in 2019 for a whopping £50million.

  • Ralf smashes it

    Ralf Rangnick got his Austria reign off to a dream start with a 3-0 win over Croatia on Friday – winning applause from Manchester United fans in the process.

    The former boss confirmed he will not have any role at Old Trafford next season at the end of last month, writes Keelan Hughes.

    He intended to move into an advisory role this summer when he joined United in November but he will now stick with Austria.

    And Rangnick is already producing in his new role – beating World Cup finalists Croatia 3-0 in the Nations League.

    Former West Ham ace Marko Arnautovic fired in to open to scoring and give his side a half-time lead before Michael Gregoritsch and Marcel Sabitzer added two in three minutes after the break.

    Austria now sit top of Nations League Group A1 and many United fans noted the victory was yet another damning indictment of the Red Devils squad.

  • Ronaldo makes major declaration

    Manchester United legend Cristiano Ronaldo has declared “things must change”, but believes the club can win trophies under new manager Erik ten Hag.

    Ronaldo’s future had been uncertain until Ten Hag confirmed he is part of his plans.

    In an interview with United’s official website, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner said: “I know he did a fantastic job for Ajax and that he’s an experienced coach but we need to give him time.

    “Things need to change the way he wants. I hope we have success, of course. Because if you have success all of Manchester is going to have success as well so I wish him the best.

    “We are happy and excited, not only as players but the supporters as well. I wish him the best and let’s believe that next year we are going to win trophies”

    Darren Bent believes stars from Chelsea and Liverpool would “love” to play alongside departing Manchester United ace Paul Pogba.

    Bent told talkSPORT: “I don’t know if Chelsea fans will want him to join but I wonder if some of the players would. Footballers will think differently to fans.

    “There will be a real admiration for Paul Pogba amongst other players in the Premier League, from the players who have played against him.

    “I think other players, players in the Chelsea squad, will think ‘I would love a player like that to come here’.

    “Fans will see it differently and say ‘he doesn’t work hard enough, it didn’t work at United, why would we want him?’”
