    Man Utd LOSE 4-0 to Brighton reaction, Richarlison eyed, Man City ‘discuss’ Pogba, Ten Hag DESPERATE for Ronaldo to stay

    MANCHESTER UNITED lost 4-0 to Brighton on Saturday evening in what was the club’s most embarrassing defeat of the season. But United could be tempted to make a move for Everton talisman Richarlison in the summer, according to reports.
    The Brazilian has single-handedly lead the Toffees relegation fight and he could be available for around £50 million in the summer.
    Meanwhile, Erik Ten Hag is reportedly eager for Cristiano Ronaldo to continue at Old Trafford next season.
    And rumours suggest that United’s local rivals Manchester City are set to ‘discuss’ a potential move for World Cup winner Paul Pogba once his contract comes to an end.

    Ron’s regular chats with Fergie over Utd future
    Cristiano Ronaldo regularly shares a cuppa with Alex Ferguson to talk over his Manchester United future, it’s claimed today.
    The Mirror says the ‘private meetings’ at each other’s homes have been a feature of Ron’s second spell at Old Trafford.
    Legendary ex-United boss Ferguson not only signed the Portugal superstar back in 2003, he also aided the 37-year-old’s return last summer.
    It’s suggested Fergie believes Ronaldo should stay with the Red Defvils next season – under incoming manager Erik ten Hag.
    Fernandes’ honest assessment
    Bruno Fernandes has admitted that Manchester United players are not fit to wear the shirt.
    Red Devils fans turned on their own players as they were humiliated 4-0 by Brighton on the South Coast yesterday.
    Livid supporters, having made the long journey, chanted “you’re not fit to wear the shirt” as their side were battered by the superior Seagulls.
    When asked about the fans’ brutal assessment by Sky Sports after the game, Fernandes couldn’t disagree.
    He said: “I include myself in that.
    “What we did today, what I did today, was not enough to be in a Man United shirt and I accept it.”
    Old Trafford shortlist
    United have plenty of stars on their transfer wishlist including Declan Rice, Christopher Nkunku, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Frenkie de Jong.
    Ten Hag will likely want to raid Ajax too, with Sebastien Haller and £50million-rated Antony.
    Rangnick’s side were thumped 4-0 at Brighton yesterday to condemn United to their worst points tally in the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era.
    It was another horror performance from the Red Devils who are now clinging on to qualify for the Europa League.
    The German boss said: “It’s important that we apologise to our supporters who came all the way from Manchester to Brighton.
    “We were just not good enough from start to finish. The performance was not only poor, it was extremely poor.”
    Eight out of Ten Hag
    Ralf Rangnick revealed his successor Erik ten Hag will make up to eight transfers this summer after their south-coast “humiliation”, writes JOSHUA JONES.
    The outgoing Manchester United manager has just one game left as interim boss, taking on Crystal Palace away on the final day of the season.
    And then he will hand over the reins to Ten Hag, who has a mammoth task of rebuilding the underperforming squad of flops.
    As well as shipping out plenty of deadwood, the Dutchman will be busy sorting out plenty of new arrivals.

    Rangnick said: “In the end football is pretty easy, you just need to win games.
    “In order to do that it’s obvious with quite a few players whose contracts are expiring we need a number of new players.
    “There is already at least something like a number of players that are really top players for this club but as I said we need all the other areas.
    “I suppose there will be six or eight new players.
    “They should be top players to strengthen the quality of the squad.”
    Man Utd’s quest for European football
    West Ham still trail United by six points.
    The Hammers have two games in hand though, they still have three left to play in total.
    Ralf Rangnick’s side have just one.
    Will the Red Devils casually lean into Europe?

    ‘Tell me again how Harry Maguire is the problem’
    With 20 minutes left on the clock it was all about damage control for Ralf Rangnick in the 4-0 loss at the Amex.
    He decided to replace Juan Mata with Harry Maguire.

    Many fans saw the funny side to the substitution given the circumstances, with rapper Guvna B tweeting: “Maguire on for Mata when you’re 4 nil down against Brighton might be the funniest substitute of all time.”
    Another joked: “A bit late to worry about the goal difference!”
    Some United supporters also took the time to defend Maguire, who has regularly been blamed for the team’s defensive issues this season.
    One person took to Twitter to say: “Apologise right now to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Harry Maguire.”
    Another added: “Tell me again how Harry Maguire is the problem.”
    Player ratings – subs
    Fred (for Matic, 46) – 3/10
    Brazilian made zero impact in trying to grab hold of the midfield after half-time.
    Was twisted all ends up after a brilliant bit of skill by Gross as Brighton went into party mode.
    Edinson Cavani (for Elanga, 46) – 5/10
    Stung Sanchez’s palms with a good header just after the hour mark. Denied a tap in by the offside flag.
    Harry Maguire (for Mata, 70) – 5/10
    Forced a brilliant save by Sanchez, with his rebound prodded in by the offside Cavani.
    Subs not used: Henderson, Wan-Bissaka, Jones, Fernandez, Lingard, Garnacho
    Player ratings – attack
    ANTHONY ELANGA – 4/10
    Completely anonymous opening 45 minutes for the 20-year-old.
    Was dominated by Cucurella before being subbed for Edinson Cavani.
    BRUNO FERNANDES – 5/10
    Tested Sanchez with a sweet first-time strike from the edge of the box, although the score was already 4-0 by that point.
    The attacking midfielder wore a frustrated look for much of the match, an expression of his that United fans have become used to this season.
    CRISTIANO RONALDO – 4/10
    Wore a wry smile of disbelief as Brighton’s goals racked up in the second-half.
    The Portuguese was unable to have the sort of impact on the game that he has managed at times this season.
    Player ratings – midfield
    SCOTT MCTOMINAY – 4/10
    Academy product was totally overrun by Brighton’s midfielders.
    The Scotland international may well be fighting for his United future when Erik ten Hag arrives this summer.
    NEMANJA MATIC – 5/10
    Not a vintage performance from the Serb, but unlucky to be hooked at the break ahead of McTominay.
    Replaced by Fred.
    JUAN MATA – 5/10
    Tested Robert Sanchez with a well struck, if slightly tame volley. Spaniard’s cross then set up a Cavani header, which forced a more difficult save.
    Substituted with 20 minutes to go as Rangnick went into damage control mode by bringing on centre-back Harry Maguire.
    Player ratings – defence
    DIOGO DALOT – 3/10
    Caught hopelessly out of position for Brighton’s second goal. Blazed a shot from range wildly over the bar.
    Cleared Danny Welbeck’s chip off the line only for the ball to ricochet off Leandro Trossard and into the back of the net anyway.
    VICTOR LINDELOF – 3/10
    Played his part in a shambolic rearguard performance from United’s backline.
    The Swede and partner Raphael Varane were constantly moved out of position by Brighton’s passing and movement.
    RAPHAEL VARANE – 3/10
    Beaten by Gross for Brighton’s third. Totally lost Danny Welbeck in the build-up to the Seagulls’ fourth.
    Varane has enjoyed a brilliantly decorated career in the game, but you wouldn’t have known it watching this woeful outing.
    ALEX TELLES – 3/10
    Given a lesson in how to play as a competent, attacking left-back by Marc Cucurella.
    The Brazilian was utterly ineffective deputising for the injured Luke Shaw.
    Man Utd player ratings vs Brighton
    Manchester United were humiliated 4-0 by Brighton as their sorry season meanders towards an end.
    Supporters will be thrilled that they don’t have to endure watching their dreadful outfit in action next weekend, with their final match taking place in a fortnight’s time.
    On an embarrassing day for United, SunSport’s Etienne Fermie rates and slates each Red Devils player.
    DAVID DE GEA – 4/10
    Left helpless by Moises Caicedo and Marc Cucurella’s strikes. Subsequently beaten one on one by Pascal Gross.
    Was chipped by former team-mate Danny Welbeck prior to Brighton’s bundled fourth – didn’t make any saves of note.

    Cristiano Ronaldo latest
    Ex-Manchester United ace Dion Dublin doubts Cristiano Ronaldo will stay at Old Trafford.
    Ronaldo has been linked with a summer exit following a disappointing campaign in his comeback season.
    Dublin told Sky Sports: “I don’t know where Ronaldo goes from here. Does he go back to Italy or Spain? I don’t know where he goes.
    “I find it hard to see him staying at United unless something is done incredibly quickly.
    “Then again, I don’t know where he goes. I think United will be lost without him so I am hoping he is going to be [staying at] United without a doubt.
    “But I don’t know why he’d stay to be honest with you. Unless the new manager says right £300million, these players are coming in, please stay. Otherwise I think he’s gone.”

    The unbeaten Mancunian, 33, took to his Instagram story to berate his beloved side.
    Captioning the clip, he said: “Shocking this, we are having a shocking season. Bring on 2023.”
    Speaking in the video, he remarked: “I tell you what, never mind the Gypsy King retiring, what are you saying United?”

    Wag horror
    The girlfriend of Man United star Tahith Chong told how they were held at knifepoint by a masked gang in a 3am raid.
    Nightclub performer Rianna Taylor, 24, said she feared for her life when a balaclava-clad trio burst into the Dutch footballer’s home and threatened to “chop them up”.
    Midfielder Chong, 22, became the fifth United or Man City player since Christmas to be burgled by a gang targeting stars in the area.
    Rianna told how the raiders woke the pair by shining torches in their eyes before yanking the player out of bed by his ankle as they brandished knives and a baseball bat.
    Fury bashes beloved Red Devils

    Rangnick apologises to fans
    Ralf Rangnick apologised to Manchester United fans for one of the worst defeats of his 35-year managerial career and admitted the season has been a disaster.
    The Red Devils were smashed 4-0 by midtable Brighton thanks to goals from Moises Caicedo, Marc Cucurella, Pascal Gross and Leandro Trossard.
    Rangnick, 63, said: “It’s important that we apologise to our supporters who came all the way from Manchester to Brighton.
    “We were just not good enough from start to finish. The performance was not only poor, it was extremely poor.”
    Blunt Neville’s criticism
    Gary Neville was rendered speechless after yet another abject display from Manchester United.
    Often so critical of the Red Devils this season, the former pro turned pundit was actually lost for words following the 4-0 defeat to Brighton.
    Neville took to Twitter after the game, simply posting a full stop as he reacted to the thrashing at the hands of the Seagulls.
    And Manchester United fans seemed to have been left equally as speechless by the abject display.
    Neville’s ONE CHARACTER long tweet racked up over 20,000 less than half an hour after being published.
    Fernandes’ honest assessment
    Bruno Fernandes has admitted that Manchester United players are not fit to wear the shirt.

    “What we did today, what I did today, was not enough to be in a Man United shirt and I accept it.”
    Ronaldo spotted smiling in disbelief
    Man Utd fans spotted Cristiano Ronaldo laughing and shaking his head in disbelief during an embarrassing performance at Brighton.
    United were torn to shreds by the Seagulls, who won 4-0 at the Amex Stadium with goals by Moises Caicedo, Marc Cucurella, Pascal Gross and Leandro Trossard.
    Ronaldo was clearly frustrated throughout the match and it got so bad that supporters saw him laughing sarcastically with the state of the team, which has been enduring a disappointing season.
    One fan tweeted: “Don’t blame Ronaldo for laughing I’m laughing too. They arent fit to wear the shirt.”

    Lingard wanted
    Fulham West Ham and Newcastle are all keen to sign Jesse Lingard in the next transfer window, reports suggest.
    The Manchester United midfielder is set to leave Old Trafford at the end of the season when his contract expires.
    And according to sports journalist Rudy Galetti, he wants to stay in the Premier League.
    Galetti also reported that newly-promoted Fulham have been monitoring his situation.
    History made… for the wrong reasons
    Man Utd have lost 4-0 to Brighton, and now are guaranteed their worst Premier League-era points tally.
    It’s also worth noting they’ve shipped in 56 goals in this campaign – more than any other season before in the Prem.

    But despite discussing the idea with the current Ajax boss, he has opted to link up with Ruud van Nistelrooy at PSV instead.
    Speaking on ESPN Netherlands, he said: ““Erik ten Hag has asked me to be his assistant at Manchester United, I said no. Everyone makes his own choices in life.”
    He then went on to add: “I have a family, I have grandchildren. I want to see them every now and then.
    “At Manchester United you get on a train and you can’t get off it. I want to feel comfortable in something you step into. That is the case with PSV.

LOSE 4-0 to Brighton, Richarlison interest, Man City ‘discuss’ Pogba
    Rutten revealed on Dutch TV that he had spoken with Ten Hag about the roleCredit: ESPN Netherlands
    “It’s nice when you have grandchildren, who you see every now and then and who can play ball with.”
    Rutten has managed several high-profile teams including Schalke, PSV, Feyenoord and Anderlecht.

    The Ajax boss was always one of the favourites to take over at Old Trafford along with PSG boss Mauricio Pochettino.
    But now he has been appointed, there has been a lot of talk as to who will assist him in the coaching of the team.
    And former England manager Steve McLaren was one man touted for the role.
    Ten Hag was McLaren’s assistant during his time at FC Twente.
    He could now choose to revisit the idea after Rutten’s decision to choose PSV. More

    And then he will hand over the reins to Ten Hag, who has a mammoth task of rebuilding the underperforming squad of flops.
    As well as shipping out plenty of deadwood, the Dutchman will be busy sorting out plenty of new arrivals.
    Rangnick said: “In the end football is pretty easy, you just need to win games.
    “In order to do that it’s obvious with quite a few players whose contracts are expiring we need a number of new players.

    Ten Hag will likely want to raid Ajax too, with Sebastien Haller and £50million-rated Antony.
    Rangnick’s side were thumped 4-0 at Brighton yesterday to condemn United to their worst points tally in the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era.
    It was another horror performance from the Red Devils who are now clinging on to qualify for the Europa League.
    The German boss said: “It’s important that we apologise to our supporters who came all the way from Manchester to Brighton.
    “We were just not good enough from start to finish. The performance was not only poor, it was extremely poor.
    “It was a humiliating defeat today. Even more so for a team like Manchester United.

    But as revealed by SunSport, United face a battle to convince him to stay with the club as he considers a move away.
    The Red Devils want Ronaldo to continue wearing their famous No7 jersey in 2022-23 – both for his appeal on and off the pitch.
    But according to the Mirror, he has been sitting down with his old boss to get some wise advice.

LOSE 4-0 to Brighton, Richarlison interest, Man City ‘discuss’ Pogba
    It is said Fergie wants Ronaldo to stay at Old Trafford and continue his incredible legacy.
    Sir Alex managed the forward for six years at United between 2003 and 2009, winning eight major trophies together, and was influential in the blockbuster return.
    He has often been seen as a father figure to the five-time Ballon d’Or winner.
    And United fans will surely hope the iconic gaffer convinces Ronaldo to see out his current contract.

    The veteran has scored an impressive 24 goals in what has been a miserable campaign for United.
    Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was sacked in November while Ralf Rangnick is clinging on for a Europa League spot before Erik ten Hag comes in and implements his ideas on the squad.
    The Dutchman has yet to communicate what he wants to do about the Portuguese ace because he does not want to discuss any player plans with the club until he has concluded the Eredivisie title race with Ajax.
    Ronaldo was left laughing in bewilderment on Saturday as the humiliated Red Devils were ripped apart 4-0 by Brighton.
    That shocking result confirmed United would finish with their lowest points tally in the post-Fergie era, now unable to match David Moyes’ 64. More

    Best ever Man Utd foreign XI features Cristiano Ronaldo, Paul Pogba and Kanchelskis, but no Tevez or Fernandes

    MANCHESTER UNITED have boasted some of the finest foreign players to ever grace the Premier League.The likes of Eric Cantona, Jaap Stam and Cristiano Ronaldo have all cemented their legacy at Old Trafford.
    Only one player from the current Manchester United side has made the XI
    Now Ronaldo is BACK, and alongside his countryman Bruno Fernandes, they are undoubtedly the star men for the current crop of Red Devils.
    But just who are the club’s greatest non-British players?
    United End editor Tom McDermott has already given his say on the club’s best British XI in the Premier League, and now he’s chosen a star-studded line up made up of foreigners:
    Peter Schmeichel
    Could it have been anyone else? David De Gea and Edwin van der Sar are the obvious contenders, but Schmeichel is the outstanding choice.
    The £505,000 signing from Brondby was the finest keeper on the planet for several years, and probably left sooner than he should after Champions League glory in 1999.
    Patrice Evra
    Evra has five Premier League titles, three League Cups, five Community Shields and a Champions League medal in his locker from his time at the club.
    But, you’d never have thought that would be possible after his disastrous debut away to Manchester City in 2006.
    The Frenchman started the match, but was substituted at half-time after a horrendous opening 45. It did though prove to be a minor blip in an outstanding United career.
    Jaap Stam
    Ferguson’s best foreign defensive signing. The defender was sold to Lazio in 2001, which Sir Alex Ferguson later admitted was an error.
    Stam had everything required to be a great central defender and was pretty much unbeatable on his day.
    The image of Inter Milan’s Ivan Zamorano backing into him during the 1998/99 treble season still brings a smile to my face.

    Nemanja Vidic
    Had Stam’s strength and ability to read the game, but perhaps not the pace.
    That said, he went on to forge a formidable partnership with Rio Ferdinand at the heart of the defence, and during that period established himself as one of the best central defenders in the word.
    Antonio Valencia
    Signed from Wigan as a winger, but ended his United career as a right full-back. The move probably prolonged his time at the club and he adapted his game accordingly.
    Just to be clear, Valencia was no ‘Gary Neville’ but his strength and speed meant that he was quickly able to get himself out of tricky defensive situations.
    Andrei Kanchelskis
    One former United player who played with Kanchelskis said that the winger just appeared to get faster and faster when in possession of the ball.
    He’ll always be remembered for his hat-trick against Manchester City in 1994, but disruptive representatives meant that his stay at Old Trafford ended sharply and he was sold to the blue half of Liverpool.
    Paul Pogba
    I toyed with Ander Herrera, Juan Veron and even Anderson, but Pogba starts because of his role in helping United claim their first ever Europa League title in 2017.
    On his day, he’s world class, but the frustration is that we don’t see it often enough.
    It looks increasingly likely he will leave the club this summer.

    Cristiano Ronaldo
    Arguably United’s greatest foreign signing of the Premier League era. Ronaldo terrorised defences and secured his first Ballon d’Or while at the club in 2008.
    Ronaldo has had an impressive return to Old Trafford – scoring 24 goals in 37 appearances this season.
    He is a real icon of the game and United supporters will never forget the contribution he made for them, particularly in the final few seasons before heading to Real Madrid in 2009.
    Cristiano Ronaldo has been a star again at Old Trafford
    Eric Cantona
    The pied piper was the final piece of the jigsaw that helped Ferguson’s United secure their very first Premier League title.
    It was a surprise to secure his signature from Leeds United, but of equal surprise after such a turbulent career, was his ability to embrace the Old Trafford stage in such a way.
    Cantona was absolutely vital to Ferguson’s first period of domestic success. Who knows what might have happened if he hadn’t signed.
    Ruud van Nistelrooy
    Van Nistelrooy was the ultimate centre forward. You only need to look at his goalscoring record to see that.
    Paul Scholes recently mentioned that Van Nistelrooy would be annoyed after a game if he found out that Arsenal’s Thierry Henry had scored more goals than him that afternoon.
    That says all you need to know, because he was a goal machine who always wanted one more than what he got.
    Cristiano Ronaldo and Ruud van Nistelrooy spent three seasons together at Old TraffordCredit: Getty – Contributor
     Robin van Persie
    Van Persie just edged ahead of Carlos Tevez and Dimitar Berbatov because of his outstanding 2012/13 season where his goals shot United to a twentieth league title.
    United was the right move at the right time for Van Persie who helped provide departing manager Ferguson with his final trophy at the club.
    Van Persie talked about the ‘little boy inside of him’ screaming for a move to Old Trafford. The little boy managed to fulfil his dream, and in some style.

    Man Utd LOSE 4-0 to Brighton, Richarlison interest, Man City ‘discuss’ Pogba, Ten Hag DESPERATE for Ronaldo to stay

    MANCHESTER UNITED lost 4-0 to Brighton on Saturday evening in what was the club’s most embarrassing defeat of the season. But United could be tempted to make a move for Everton talisman Richarlison in the summer, according to reports.
    The Brazilian has single-handedly lead the Toffees relegation fight and he could be available for around £50 million in the summer.
    Meanwhile, Erik Ten Hag is reportedly eager for Cristiano Ronaldo to continue at Old Trafford next season.
    And rumours suggest that United’s local rivals Manchester City are set to ‘discuss’ a potential move for World Cup winner Paul Pogba once his contract comes to an end.

    Wag horror
    The girlfriend of Man United star Tahith Chong told how they were held at knifepoint by a masked gang in a 3am raid.
    Nightclub performer Rianna Taylor, 24, said she feared for her life when a balaclava-clad trio burst into the Dutch footballer’s home and threatened to “chop them up”.
    Midfielder Chong, 22, became the fifth United or Man City player since Christmas to be burgled by a gang targeting stars in the area.
    Rianna told how the raiders woke the pair by shining torches in their eyes before yanking the player out of bed by his ankle as they brandished knives and a baseball bat.
    Fury bashes beloved Red Devils
    Tyson Fury slammed Manchester United over their embarrassing performance against Brighton as he stated the squad should join him in retirement.
    The Red Devils were thrashed 4-0 by the Seagulls at the Amex Stadium on Saturday to officially end their faint top four hopes.
    The unbeaten Mancunian, 33, took to his Instagram story to berate his beloved side.
    Captioning the clip, he said: “Shocking this, we are having a shocking season. Bring on 2023.”
    Speaking in the video, he remarked: “I tell you what, never mind the Gypsy King retiring, what are you saying United?
    “Why don’t they f***ing retire? Get off!”
    Ronaldo could go
    Former Manchester United ace Dion Dublin doubts Cristiano Ronaldo will stay at Old Trafford.
    Ronaldo has been linked with a summer exit following a disappointing campaign in his comeback season.
    Dublin told Sky Sports: “I don’t know where Ronaldo goes from here. Does he go back to Italy or Spain? I don’t know where he goes.
    “I find it hard to see him staying at United unless something is done incredibly quickly.
    “Then again, I don’t know where he goes. I think United will be lost without him so I am hoping he is going to be [staying at] United without a doubt.
    “But I don’t know why he’d stay to be honest with you. Unless the new manager says right £300million, these players are coming in, please stay. Otherwise I think he’s gone.”

    Rangnick apologises to fans
    Ralf Rangnick apologised to Manchester United fans for one of the worst defeats of his 35-year managerial career and admitted the season has been a disaster.
    The Red Devils were smashed 4-0 by midtable Brighton thanks to goals from Moises Caicedo, Marc Cucurella, Pascal Gross and Leandro Trossard.
    Rangnick, 63, said: “It’s important that we apologise to our supporters who came all the way from Manchester to Brighton.
    “We were just not good enough from start to finish. The performance was not only poor, it was extremely poor.”
    Blunt Neville’s criticism
    Gary Neville was rendered speechless after yet another abject display from Manchester United.
    Often so critical of the Red Devils this season, the former pro turned pundit was actually lost for words following the 4-0 defeat to Brighton.
    Neville took to Twitter after the game, simply posting a full stop as he reacted to the thrashing at the hands of the Seagulls.
    And Manchester United fans seemed to have been left equally as speechless by the abject display.
    Neville’s ONE CHARACTER long tweet racked up over 20,000 less than half an hour after being published.
    Fernandes’ honest assessment
    Bruno Fernandes has admitted that Manchester United players are not fit to wear the shirt.
    Red Devils fans turned on their own players as they were humiliated 4-0 by Brighton on the South Coast.
    Livid supporters, having made the long journey, chanted “you’re not fit to wear the shirt” as their side were battered by the superior Seagulls.
    When asked about the fans’ brutal assessment by Sky Sports after the game, Fernandes couldn’t disagree.
    He said: “I include myself in that.
    “What we did today, what I did today, was not enough to be in a Man United shirt and I accept it.”
    Ronaldo spotted smiling in disbelief
    Man Utd fans spotted Cristiano Ronaldo laughing and shaking his head in disbelief during an embarrassing performance at Brighton.
    United were torn to shreds by the Seagulls, who won 4-0 at the Amex Stadium with goals by Moises Caicedo, Marc Cucurella, Pascal Gross and Leandro Trossard.
    Ronaldo was clearly frustrated throughout the match and it got so bad that supporters saw him laughing sarcastically with the state of the team, which has been enduring a disappointing season.
    One fan tweeted: “Don’t blame Ronaldo for laughing I’m laughing too. They arent fit to wear the shirt.”

    Lingard wanted
    Fulham West Ham and Newcastle are all keen to sign Jesse Lingard in the next transfer window, reports suggest.
    The Manchester United midfielder is set to leave Old Trafford at the end of the season when his contract expires.
    And according to sports journalist Rudy Galetti, he wants to stay in the Premier League.
    Galetti also reported that newly-promoted Fulham have been monitoring his situation.
    History made… for the wrong reasons
    Man Utd have lost 4-0 to Brighton, and now are guaranteed their worst Premier League-era points tally.
    It’s also worth noting they’ve shipped in 56 goals in this campaign – more than any other season before in the Prem.
    What was I saying about ten Hag’s task earlier?
    Damage limitation time
    Brighton now lead 4-0 – and it’s damage limitation time at the Amex Stadium.
    Pascal Gross and Leandro Trossard have ended this game as a contest.
    Now, it’s about saving face for United.
    Erik ten Hag has one hell of a job to get a tune out of this team next season.
    0-2
    Brighton have added a second at the Amex Stadium – and United now have mountain to climb.
    Marc Cucurella has added a second with a neat finish in the roof the net.
    United are getting the run around here.
    You can follow the action on our match blog.
    Peep peep
    It’s half-time at the Amex Stadium – and United trail.

    Ronaldo to break No7 curse
    Cristiano Ronaldo is poised to become the first Manchester United player to score 20 Premier League goals since the 2012-13 season.
    And in doing so the 37-year-old will once and for all break the No7 shirt curse at Old Trafford that has haunted a number of star footballers.
    Cristiano Ronaldo is closing in on 20 Premier League goals for Manchester United this
    Pogba to City could happen, says Berbatov
    Man Utd’s departing star Paul Pogba could be tempted to join rivals Manchester City.
    That is according to United legend Dimitar Berbatov, who believes Pogba may be keen to link up with City manager Pep Guardiola.
    Berbatov told Betfair: “I have read the latest rumours about Paul Pogba, his contract is expiring in the summer and he is free to contact and speak to whoever.
    “He should have done better at United, most of the time he had some injuries, his talent is immense but it didn’t quite work out.
    “He had more downs than up at United, which is a pity because he is a great, great talent.
    “A United player going to City has happened before, like my former teammate Carlos Tevez, and it will be no surprise if it happens again.”
    United’s eleven
    The United team is in and there’s no real surprises.
    Maguire is still on the bench, with Lindelof and Varane the preferred centre backs.
    Ronaldo is in, although rather hilariously they’ve spelled his name wrong on the team sheet on their Twitter.

    Ten Hag ready to raid Ajax
    Erik ten Hag has admitted that there is nothing stopping him from raiding Ajax for their finest talent when he joins Manchester United.
    The Dutchman has agreed a three-year deal to take charge at Old Trafford next season, quitting Dutch giants Ajax in the process.
    It’s been suggested that the Eredivisie leaders may have wanted to make an agreement with United dictating that ten Hag be banned from bringing his best players with him.
    But the 52-year-old himself has confirmed that this is not the case.
    Ten Hag said: “There’s no agreement in place that would exclude me from taking players to Manchester United.
    “Which Ajax players are interesting?
    “I have very good players here, but that’s a non-issue.”
    Bella Esmeralda Ronaldo is named
    Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez have named their new born daughter, writes GIACOMO PISA.
    In an adorable Instagram post, Georgina showed the latest addition to the Ronaldo family sleeping peacefully.

    The baby was born on April 18, and Georgina has now officially announced they have named the girl Bella Esmeralda.
    The couple were flooded with messages of congratulations as the post racked up a million likes on Instagram in just half an hour.
    It’s the first time Georgina has shown fans close up pictures of new born Bella.
    Brighton vs Man Utd team news
    Jadon Sancho remains out for United with tonsillitis, while Paul Pogba and Luke Shaw are also sidelined.
    While Harry Maguire has returned to training and is expected to feature.
    Enock Mwepo is a doubt for Brighton with a groin injury.
    Will Ronaldo stay?
    Manchester United have recovered from their defeat at Arsenal with a draw at Chelsea and then victory over Brentford last time out.
    It was after their final home game against the Bees that Cristiano Ronaldo – who has one year left on his United deal – seemed to say: “I’m not finished yet.”
    The Portuguese superstar appeared to mouth the words during a post-match lap of honour in regards to still being at the club next term.

    But now he has insisted that was NOT what he said amid speculation over his future at Old Trafford.
    In response to an Instagram post about his message into the camera, Ronaldo replied: “I didn’t say that.”
    The United legend has scored 24 goals in 37 appearances for the club so far this season.
    Ron the way
    Ronaldo and his Manchester United team-mates are aiming to finish the season strongly when they travel to Brighton this evening.
    The match kicks off at 5.30pm.

    Chelsea’s big money takeover
    Chelsea’s proposed £4.25billion takeover is set to more than DOUBLE the record for the most expensive in sporting history – and it dwarfs the fee paid for rivals Manchester United, writes DAVE FRASER.
    Todd Boehly’s consortium have signed a deal to purchase the club after Roman Abramovich decided to sell up.
    Chelsea confirmed £2.5bn will be deposited into a frozen UK bank account with the intention to donate it all to charitable causes.
    The remaining £1.75bn is for investment into the club including developments of Stamford Bridge and the women’s team.

    Boehly was pictured outside the ground on Friday night with fellow members of his group including ex-chancellor George Osborne.
    However, the mega-deal is not over the line just yet and needs to go through due processes with the Government and the Premier League but is expected to be completed by May 31.
    Eriksen transfer latest
    Brentford playmaker Christian Eriksen is reportedly considering extending his spell with the Premier League newbies.
    The 30-year-old has caught the eye in west London after penning a short-term contract back in January.
    That deal expires in the summer, with plenty of big names said to be lining up a free transfer swoop for the Danish international.
    Brentford though are desperate to tie Eriksen down to fresh terms.
    And in recent days the midfielder has been looking around the plush west London district of Chiswick, according to the Telegraph.
    The area is just a stone’s throw away from the Bees’ home ground, and is a blow to Tottenham and United’s hopes of securing a deal.
    Brighton vs Man Utd team news
    Jadon Sancho remains out for United with tonsillitis, while Paul Pogba and Luke Shaw are also sidelined.
    While Harry Maguire has returned to training and is expected to feature.
    Enock Mwepo is a doubt for Brighton with a groin injury.

    Fury slammed the Red Devils on social media as he watched his side capitulate at the Amex Stadium
    United’s defeat means it is the club’s worst ever season in the Premier League era.
    Even a win away at Crystal Palace in their final game of the campaign won’t eclipse the 64 points United mustered in the 2013-14 term.
    Fans at the game failed to hide their anger as they chanted: “You’re not fit to wear the shirt.”
    And Fury was also critical of United as he watched the clash at home.

    The five-time Ballon d’Or winner has been the Red Devils’ shining light with 24 goals and three assists in 38 matches across all competitions.
    Dublin finds it hard to see the forward staying after a disastrous season that saw the team miss out on all trophies and the top four.
    However, the ex-England international also doesn’t know where else the 37-year-old can go.
    Dublin told Sky Sports: “I don’t know where Ronaldo goes from here. Does he go back to Italy or Spain? I don’t know where he goes.

apologises to fans for Brighton shambles but vows it WILL improve
    “I find it hard to see him staying at United unless something is done incredibly quickly.
    “Then again, I don’t know where he goes. I think United will be lost without him so I am hoping he is going to be [staying at] United without a doubt.
    “But I don’t know why he’d stay to be honest with you. Unless the new manager says right £300million, these players are coming in, please stay. Otherwise I think he’s gone.”
    Dublin also noticed how fed up Ronaldo looked when he started to laugh and shake his head in disbelief during United’s 4-0 drubbing at Brighton.

    The Prem legend claims that moment “summed up today” for Ralf Rangnick’s flops.
    Dublin added: “One of the tell-tales signs for me was after one of the goals [when] Ronaldo was laughing.
    “And I’m thinking to myself, ‘Is he laughing at the players? Is he laughing at the situation?’
    “That, for me, was today. That just summed up today.”
    And Graeme Souness said: “You can see what he’s thinking, he’s thinking: ‘The last time I had Paul Scholes, I had Roy Keane, Rio Ferdinand… Now I’ve got this lot.'” More
