      Man Utd and West Ham on transfer red alert with Leon Goretzka ‘unhappy’ after Bayern Munich axe

      by

      BAYERN MUNICH have put a host of Premier League clubs on red alert by admitting that Leon Goretzka is “unhappy”.The 29-year-old German international midfielder has been brutally axed by new boss Vincent Kompany this term following the arrival of Joao Palhinha from Fulham.Leon Goretzka is unhappy at Bayern MunichCredit: GettyAnd his potential availability has put several clubs including Man Utd on alert over a transferCredit: GettyGoretzka has been at Bayern since 2018 and remains under contract until 2026 but he could be set to push for a move in January.He has played just one minute of competitive football under Kompany and failed to even make the bench for Saturday’s 6-1 victory over Holstein Kiel.Manchester United and West Ham have been long-term admirers of the experienced star.A host of other top-flight clubs would also be keen should Goretzka become available.READ MORE ON MAN UTDAnd the prospect of him departing Bayern appears to be very real as director of sport Max Eberl revealed how miserable the ex-Schalke man is.He said: “We communicated very clearly from the start.“Leon knew that we were relying on Pavlo [Aleksandar Pavlovic], and that we would bring in with Palhinha and that Josh [Kimmich] would play more in the centre again.”He added: “We’ve also said that when Leon is there and ready to face the situation, he’ll be treated completely normally.Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERS“Leon’s a great guy. I like him a lot, even though he’s obviously upset at the moment. I understand that too. But that’s part of life in football.”Bayern know that his value will drop significantly once he enters the final 12 months of his contract in June.Manchester United vs SouthamptonThat means that they could look to push him out of the door in January with a potential loan-to-buy agreement.Although his £273,000-a-week wages could be an issue.Man Utd ratings vs Southampton as Onana saves a penalty and Rashford finally scoresMARCUS RASHFORD scored his first Premier League goal in 189 days as Manchester United cruised to a 3-0 victory at Southampton.The Red Devils got back to winning ways after suffering defeats in their last two Prem games, with Matthijs de Ligt notching his first Man Utd goal.But United had Andre Onana to thank as the keeper kept out Cameron Archer’s penalty at 0-0.Here’s how SunSport’s Charlie Wyett rated United’s stars…Andre Onana – 7Saved the penalty by Cameron Archer, albeit a poor one from the Southampton forward.But that stop and the stopped rebound proved to be absolutely crucial.Noussair Mazraouri – 7Needed treatment after falling awkwardly in the first half but that did not stop him from delivering a solid performance.Also got forward to good effect before being one of three United defenders to be subbed off.Matthijs De Ligt – 8Shaky start defensively but was unmarked to score from Bruno Fernandes cross to calm United’s nerves with the opener.He was delighted to get his first United goal and dedicated his celebration to his wife’s birthday today.Lisandro Martinez – 7Not been in great form so anything was an improvement – although Saints’ attack was toothless.Diogo Dalot – 5Suffered an absolute shocker of a first half courtesy of Southampton’s tricky wingers.Conceded the penalty after bringing down Tyler Dibling but was also constantly exposed throughout the half.Kobbie Mainoo – 6United continue to lean far too heavily on such a young player. And this defensive role does not really suit him.Christian Eriksen – 7A surprise starter although United’s two goals came from his corners.The system, though, still does not play to his strengths as he is too deep.Bruno Fernandes – 7Cracking corner cross ball from Eriksen who plonked the ball on the head of De Ligt.Amad Diallo – 7Looked lively throughout – really encouraging. Teed up Rashford for the second goal.Joshua Zirkzee – 6Forced a couple of saves by Aaron Ramsdale but does not look like a 25 goal-a-season striker.Marcus Rashford – 7Hopefully the second goal will give him a real confidence boost. Also forced a couple of saves from Aaron Ramsdale.SUBSGarnacho (for Rashford 73 mins) 7Was brutally fouled by Stephens who saw red shortly after coming on. Notched United’s third goal of the game in the final minute.He struck high into Ramsdale’s high corner after a brilliant ball from Casemiro.Manuel Ugarte (for Eriksen 73 mins) 6Harry Maguire (for Mazraouri 74 mins) 6Jonny Evans (for Martinez 77 mins) 6 More

      Harry Kane refuses to lift trophy after finally winning silverware at Tottenham on return with Bayern Munich

      by

      BAYERN MUNICH superstar Harry Kane finally won some silverware but refused to lift the trophy against his former club at Tottenham.Kane, 31, hasn’t won any titles during his stunning 14-year career despite him becoming Spurs and England’s all-time top goalscorer.Bayern Munich star Harry Kane refused to lift a trophy against TottenhamKane hadn’t won a trophy throughout his stunning 14-year careerBut the star striker finally got a little taste of silverware on Saturday when he returned to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the first time after leaving the North Londoners last year.The England striker helped Bayern beat Ange Postecoglou’s side 3-2 in their last pre-season friendly when he came off the bench in the 80th minute to receive a warm ovation from the home fans that never got to say goodbye.The Bavarians won the unofficial Visit Malta Cup, which represented a piece of silverware for Kane, albeit far from a major honour.Nevertheless, the centre-forward proved his undying allegiance to Tottenham by refusing to lift the award after full-time.Read More on FootballThe camera caught Kane’s Bayern team-mates asking him if he wanted to get in on all the fun but Vincent Kompany’s captain seemingly said no as he repeatedly shook his head.That show of respect moved fans on social media and led to immense praise for the star forward.One fan tweeted: “Kane shows his class! Respect for the Tottenham legend refusing to lift the trophy against his former club.”Another posted: “Very classy.”Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSA third wrote: “Respect!.”This fan said: “I like this guy man.”Tottenham confirm £65m Dominic Solanke transfer with comic-style video as fans say ‘wow you absolutely cooked for once’And that one stated: “Great man.”Tottenham’s top 10 biggest signings: Hit or miss?1) Tanguy Ndombele – £52.7mNdombele joined from Lyon in 2019 with huge expectations after shattering Tottenham’s transfer record.But he would go on to play just 91 times for the club, scoring 10 goals and is now set to leave one year before the end of his contract.2) Richarlison – £49.3mRicharlison almost broke the £50m mark when he arrived from Everton in 2022 as Harry Kane’s back-up.And while his tally of 12 goals this season was a significant increase on the three from his opening Spurs campaign, he is being linked with a departure this summer.3) Brennan Johnson – £46.8mJohnson was signed by Ange Postecoglou last summer and has impressed in patches during his first season in North London.He scored five goals and 10 assists in 38 games and will look to build on that in the 2024/25 campaign.4) Cristian Romero – £44.2mRomero initially joined on loan from Atalanta in 2021, before his impressive displays saw him secure a permanent deal the following year.He is two games shy of 100 for Spurs and, while he can be reckless with his tackling at times, is beginning to form a promising partnership with Micky van de Ven.5) James Maddison – £39.4mMaddison was handed Kane’s No10 shirt after arriving at Spurs and hit the ground running with three goals and five assists in his opening 11 matches.But after getting injured against Chelsea in October, he failed to return with the same sharpness – managing just five goal contributions in 15 league matches as he missed out on England’s final 26-man squad for the Euros.6) Davinson Sanchez – £35.7mSanchez joined Spurs from Ajax in 2017 and played more than 200 games across a six-year spell.But he was always considered a somewhat erratic defender who did not play more than 20 games in a Premier League season from 2020 onwards.7) Pedro Porro – £34mPorro was another signing who originally arrived on loan in January 2023, before he signed permanently last summer.He has 54 appearances for Spurs under his belt, scoring seven goals and impressing under Postecoglou this season.8) Micky van de Ven – £34mRapid Dutch centre-back Van de Ven was named Spurs Player of the Season in his first campaign at the club.His pace, athleticism, and technical ability on the ball have made him arguably Postecoglou’s best signing to date.9) Moussa Sissoko – £29.8mSissoko came to North London for a substantial fee after being relegated with Newcastle and went on to enjoy five years at Tottenham, playing more than 200 games.Unfortunately for the French midfielder, he is best-known for giving away a controversial penalty for handball in the first minute of Spurs’ 2-0 Champions League final defeat to Liverpool in 2019.10) Giovani Lo Celso – £27.2mLo Celso joined on loan from Real Betis in 2019 – a deal that was made permanent the following season.He has 10 goals and eight assists in 108 games, with some Spurs fans still unsure about the Argentine.

      Man Utd AGREE De Ligt transfer with Bayern Munich AND have Noussair Mazraoui bid accepted – but it rests on star leaving

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED have agreed a deal to sign Matthijs de Ligt – and have moved a step closer to bringing in Noussair Mazraoui. United have looked to bolster their defence this summer after Raphael Varane’s exit and Harry Maguire’s future looking in doubt. Matthijs de Ligt is close to joining Man UtdCredit: GettyThey have also abid for Noussair MazraouiCredit: RexThey signed Leny Yoro for £52million from Lille but the 18-year-old faces three months out after picking up a pre-season foot injury. De Ligt has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester and now they have moved a step closer to striking a deal. Because the Red Devils have agreed an initial £38.5million with Bayern Munich for De Ligt – with a further £4.2m in add ons.De Ligt is now set for a medical before signing a five-year deal that includes the option to extend by an additional 12 months.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLThe centre-back won the Dutch title with Ajax before making a move to Juventus in 2019 where he also lifted the Serie A. After 117 appearances in Italy, De Ligt moved to Bayern in 2022 and also has a Bundesliga winners medal to his name. But the German giants are ready to offload De Ligt and full-back Mazraoui.Bayern also accepted a separate £16.8m proposal from United for Noussair Mazraoui in a piece of double business worth nearly £60m. Most read in FootballWhy De Ligt is the perfect Man Utd signing By Lee Scott One of Man Utd manager Erik ten Hag’s biggest headaches has been fixing their leaky defence.Despite still not being anywhere near his peak years De Ligt has built considerable experience so far in his career with Ajax, Juventus and Bayern Munich and he has 45 caps at senior level for the Dutch national team.While he is not necessarily a highly modern ball playing type of defensive player he is a player with the defensive strengths and instincts to help shore up a United defence that was, at best, leaky last season.He has a great ability to read the game which was one of the biggest issues that we saw from the United defensive unit last season.De Ligt is also a master in one-on-one situations, who shows strength and intensity in his duels.The Dutch star does a good job in keeping things simple and tends to make good decisions in possession.The pursuit of Matthijs de Ligt makes perfect sense for United and for Ten Hag as a young defender who is still to reach his peak.He has considerable experience at a high level and he understands the game model and system of play of the manager.Click here to read our full analysis on De Ligt joining Manchester United.CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERSA deal for the Moroccan – which will see them pay around £12.8m up front – has been in place for some weeks.But it depends on Aaron Wan-Bissaka agreeing an exit after United accepted West Ham’s £15m offer. Inside Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s plans to replace Old Trafford with a ‘Wembley of the North’Wan-Bissaka needs to finalise his termination at United but a medical with the Hammers is set for Sunday or Monday. The Londoner made 22 appearances last season for United but has fallen out of favour with boss Erik ten Hag.And as revealed by SunSport, he wants a multi-million pound pay-off from United to leave this summer. The 26-year-old has less than 12 months left on his contract at Old Trafford.And he could bank a huge signing-on fee by staying put and leaving on a free transfer next summer.Wan-Bissaka’s representatives are pushing for United to give the player a chunk of the £18m fee they will receive from West Ham in order to get the deal done this summer.The former Crystal Palace defender has been on the same £90,000-a-week contract at United since he joined the club five years ago.United’s double swoop of Bayern will take summer spending to around the £150million mark – with Joshua Zirkzee and Yoro already in place.READ MORE SUN STORIESAnd it suggests they have given up on their pursuit of Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite – who is valued at around £70m.De Ligt and Mazraoui were both named on Bayern’s bench for a pre-season friendly at Tottenham despite closing in on exits.

Read more about the Wags supporting Spain at Euro 2024 hereThe man who won an Olympic silver medal at the last Games has started just two matches but has three goals — including a fabulous winner in the semi-final against France — and two assists.Olmo started on the fringes of the squad but following injury to Barcelona’s Pedri in the quarter-final with the hosts, he was thrown on, scored and has not looked back.In a Spain side which is very different from the dominant tiki-taka team of 2008-12, Olmo is perhaps the one who stands out most.There are few occasions on which he opts for a short, cute pass — despite starting his career in Barca’s famed La Masia academy.Olmo takes everything on the half-turn and loves to drive with the ball at his feet but also has the finesse of all the finest Spanish players — as evidenced by his wonderful goal against Les Bleus.Olmo collected a tricky loose ball with one flick in the air, another to move past Aurelien Tchouameni and fired across goal to score via a Jules Kounde deflection.It is not just on the pitch that the tricky midfielder is brave, either.At just 16 years old, Olmo took the decision to do something very few young Spanish  players do and leave his home country.Opting to take an even more unique path, he joined Dinamo Zagreb in Croatia and  went on to win nine trophies, including five league titles.Throughout his time in Croatia, Olmo was progressing through the Spanish youth set-up, from the Under-16s up to the U-21s, with whom he won the European Championship under current La Roja boss Luis de la Fuente, scoring in both the semis and final.A move to RB Leipzig in Germany followed in 2020, with another switch expected after this tournament — when he could become Kane’s team-mate.England stars Bukayo Saka, Phil Foden, Luke Shaw and Declan Rice hope they have even bigger smiles after Sunday’s showpieceCredit: GettyYou can say it hasn’t been pretty, but England are in the final… and we’re peaking at just the right time, says Jack WilshereAFTER what has been a tough tournament of times, what an opportunity Gareth Southgate and his team will have to end in the best possible way, writes Jack Wilshere.We might like a team that played better football.
