      Man Utd flop Van de Beek’s Eintracht Frankfurt loan nightmare hits brand new low after shock omission

      by

      DONNY VAN DE BEEK has been left out of Eintracht Frankfurt’s Europa Conference League squad as his loan spell takes a major blow.The Manchester United midfielder, 26, joined the Bundesliga side last month as he looks to resurrect his career.

      Van de Beek has struggled since arriving at Frankfurt
      But he will not feature for Frankfurt in Europe as they have omitted him from their list of players registered for the Conference League.
      It comes just one week after he was hauled off at half-time in a 1-0 win over Mainz.
      He was then an unused substitute in their 2-0 defeat to Koln on Saturday.
      Van de Beek is yet to register a goal or assist in three appearances for Frankfurt.
      He has also created just one chance for his team-mates since arriving in Germany.
      He still has 18 months remaining on his contract at Old Trafford but had featured for just 21 minutes this term, with his last outing coming as sub against Crystal Palace on September 30.
      He completed a loan to Frankfurt within the first 12 hours of the January transfer window and the Bundesliga side also have an option to make the deal permanent at the end of the season.
      It is believed that fee would be around £9.5m – with add-ons potentially seeing it rise to £12m.

      However, the prospect of the German club taking up that option looks increasingly unlikely as Van de Beek struggles in his new surroundings.
      He has been substituted in every one of his Frankfurt games to date.
      His poor form means he could yet return to Man Utd – where he has started just 23 games since arriving for £40m in 2020. More

      Kane’s strike set a new club record for most league goals in a debut season.
      He also equalled the Bundesliga record for most goals after 20 matches of a season.
      The England captain has matched Gerd Muller and Robert Lewandowski’s tallies from the 1969/70 and 2020/21 seasons, respectively.
      Kane, who has 27 goals across all competitions, could still set the Bundesliga record for most goals in a debut campaign.

      He is now six goals short of Uwe Seeler’s record 30 goals for Hamburg in 1963/64.
      His latest goal helped Bayern come from behind to keep up the pace in the Bundesliga title race.
      The German champions had trailed before Aleksandar Pavlovic’s equaliser, with Kane heading the hosts in front in the 70th minute.
      Kane capitalised on Gladbach’s failure to deal with a cross to head the ball into an empty net.

      He took part in a fan Q+A session where he was asked to name his favourite animal.
      Kane responded: “The lion is my favourite animal.”
      However, he was seemingly unaware that the lion is the animal on the badge of Bayern’s local rivals TSV 1860 Munich.
      A moderator then stepped in to explain the rivalry before Kane changed his mind and said: “Ah, okay. Just a dog.”

      Man Utd, Arsenal & Chelsea transfer target ‘available for £43m from summer as Bundesliga star’s release clause leaked’

      by

      SEVERAL of the Premier League’s top clubs have been put on high alert after Benjamin Sesko’s alleged release clause was revealed.The 20-year-old arrived at RB Leipzig last summer from their Austrian sister club RB Salzburg.
      Sesko is one of Europe’s most highly rated young forwardsCredit: Getty
      His rapid progression from the Austrian league to the Bundesliga has naturally drawn comparisons with Erling Haaland, given they both made their names at Salzburg before big Bundesliga moves.
      Sesko started the season rapidly with a goal on both his Bundesliga and Champions League debuts for Leipzig.
      His debut goal in the Champions League made him the club’s youngest player to score in Europe, at just 20 years and 111 days old.
      The goals have become less consistent of late, which is natural for a youngster acclimatising to one of Europe’s top leagues.
      READ MORE ON FOOTBALL
      Sky Sports Germany report that the forward will be available for a bargain £43million this summer due to the way his transfer to Leipzig was constructed.
      As part of Leipzig signing Sesko for £20.4m in the summer with £5m in add-ons, the cheap release clause was added this summer as a ‘compromise’ in the deal.
      Chelsea have previously been linked to a summer deal for Sesko, with the Blues seeing the Slovenian as a cheaper option to their long-term target, Victor Osimhen.
      As a stop-gap until then the club appear to be chasing Aston Villa’s Jhon Duran, who has rarely featured for Unai Emery’s side this season.

      Arsenal in the past have also seen Sesko as a viable alternative to Ivan Toney, and will wait until the summer to sign a forward anyway.
      United were heavily linked with Sesko in the summer when they opted to sign Rasmus Hojlund instead.
      However, it is well known that the Red Devils remain in the market for a no9 as competition for the Hojlund. More

      He guided the club to the Bundesliga title last season after taking charge in March but Bayern currently trail leaders Bayer Leverkusen by two points.
      Tuchel has been criticised by some of Bayern’s former legendary players over his transfer signings and only has just over a year remaining of his contract.
      Now he has sparked speculation about his future by revealing that he would love to manage in Spain.
      And those remarks come on the same weekend that Barcelona manager Xavi announced that he is stepping down this summer after Saturday’s 5-3 defeat to Villarreal left them 10 points adrift of LaLiga leaders Real Madrid.

      Tuchel, who won the Champions League during his time in charge of Chelsea, said: “Moving abroad would appeal to me again.
      “Spain has an extraordinary league. From my perspective, and based on my experience working with Spaniards, they are characterised by a tremendous amount of self-confidence.
      “When you speak with Spanish players, I quickly get the sense that you are engaging with the person.”
      His remarks did not seem to go down well with Bayern supporters as they soon vented their fury over the comments on social media.

      While a fifth said: “No respect for the club paying his wages.”
      Meanwhile, Tuchel could emerge as a target for another club.
