    ON THE PAUL
    Arsenal legend Emmanuel Petit has slammed Paul Pogba following France’s Euro 2020 exit as he claimed he ‘lost the plot’ against Switzerland.
    The World Cup champions crashed out at the last-16 stage after losing on penalties against Vladimir Petkovic’s men having squandered a two-goal lead.
    Pogba thought he had banged in the winner for Les Bleus after his curling strike from distance nestled into the top right corner to put his side 3-1 up.
    But a lapse in concentration moments later allowed Haris Seferovic to pull one back, before Mario Gavranovic fired in a dramatic stoppage time equaliser.
    Petit has hit out at his compatriots for their early exit, as he told Paddy Power: “There was one incident – Pogba lost the ball for the second Swiss goal – and France collapsed.
    “We lost everything. Concentration, team spirit, desire – and the tie. Worst of all, we started fighting on the pitch between ourselves. There was a big clash between Rabiot and Pogba, who lost the plot, after the second Swiss goal and from then on we had no control, no confidence.”

    NAL AND VOID
    Juventus insist Cristiano Ronaldo has not asked to leave this summer, dealing a blow to Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain.
    Ronaldo, 36, has been strongly linked with a Turin exit three years after joining from Real Madrid.
    Former club Man Utd have been linked and French outfit PSG are also thought to be interested as they look to reclaim their Ligue 1 crown from Lille.
    And it’s believed Ronaldo is available for just £25m should there be any serious bids. However, Juventus chief Federico Cherubini claims he is ‘happy’ with Ronnie’s presence at the club.
    Cherubini said: “We’ve currently received no signal from Ronaldo to leave the club this summer.
    “Same from our side. We’re happy to have Cristiano back with us once the new season will start.”

    PEP’S JADON JACKPOT
    Manchester City will scoop £10million from Jadon Sancho’s £73m move to neighbours United.
    Etihad chiefs inserted a 15 per cent sell-on clause when Borussia Dortmund signed him in 2017.
    And although City were hoping the Bundesliga giants would hold on for nearer their original £120m asking price, Sancho’s valuation has steadily dipped over the past 12 months.
    Dortmund and the Red Devils each confirmed on Thursday that United’s third offer for the 21-year-old England winger had been accepted.

    JAY’S PAY DAY
    JadonSancho is to become Manchester United’s second-highest earner.
    The England winger, 21, has agreed a mega transfer from Borussia Dortmund.
    The two clubs are have agreed the £73million transfer fee but, as revealed by SunSport, personal terms are already sorted.
    Sancho will pen a five-year deal at Old Trafford worth £91million – or £350,000 per week.
    That will see his wages more than trebled from the £100,000-per-week deal he is on at Dortmund.
    And it will also see him among the very best-paid players in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s squad.

    CALL FOR CAL
    Manchester United want to sign Dominic Calvert-Lewin this summer.
    The Red Devils are on the hunt for a new striker as a long-term No9 replacement for Romelu Lukaku.
    And they have identified the Everton front man as the ideal candidate.
    Calvert-Lewin, 24, enjoyed the best season of his career in 2020-21 with 21 goals in 39 appearances to be the Toffees’ crowned player of the year.
    That goal return tied him level with his England team-mate Marcus Rashford and four more than Edinson Cavani.
    Mason Greenwood grabbed 12 while Anthony Martial managed seven in a difficult campaign but Bruno Fernandes top scored with 28.

    BREAKING: MAN UTD ANNOUNCE SANCHO
    Man Utd have announced that they have agreed a deal with Borussia Dortmund for England international Jadon Sancho.

    RIO ON SANCHO
    Rio Ferdinand highlighted the strengths Sancho brings to Man Utd.
    Speaking on his official YouTube channel Ferdinand said: “On the right hand side, and the left hand side, we haven’t got a winger who goes on the outside.
    “Goes on the outside and crosses the ball. That’s what you need.
    “He can play right-wing, left-wing, he can go both ways, he plays with both feet. But on that right wing, as well as Mason [Greenwood] has done, and I’m a massive Mason Greenwood fan, out there having a winger.
    “This is Man United, always associated with wingers. Always have done over the years.
    “Any of our most successful times there’s been wide players who can go on the outside and cross the ball.
    “[Mason] wants goals, which is a good element, a good aspect, but Jadon gives you both options and for a full-back – terrible news.
    “The element of going on the outside, beating the full-back and crossing it and then the Mason Greenwood’s, the Cavani’s, the Rashford’s coming in from the other side, we should be getting more goals from those scenarios this season.
    “He will add to the attacking variety we have in a red shirt.”
    JAD ENOUGH
    Erling Haaland’s dad has posted a tongue-in-cheek X-rated tweet after finding out about Jadon Sancho’s £73million move to Manchester United, writes ETIENNE FERMIE.
    Alf-Inge, 48, watched his son Erling link up brilliantly with Sancho over the last 18 months.
    But the duo will be broken up, at least for now, with Sancho set to light it up Old Trafford.
    Replying to Fabrizio Romano’s confirmation of the deal being done, Alf-Inge replied: “F***. 🐝 But all the best @Sanchooo10.
    “You will be missed.”

    OUT THE DOOR
    There isn’t expected to be any big outgoings this summer.

    SHAW’S FUTURE ASSURED
    Man Utd left-back Luke Shaw will be given a new contract, after his performances last season.
    Shaw has also played a key role in England’s successful Euros campaign, setting up Raheem Sterling’s opener against Germany on Tuesday.
    Fabrizio Romano replied to Jan Aage Fjortoft saying: “New contract will be offered… and he deserved it!”

    RICE TURNS DOWN CONTRACT EXTENSION 
    Declan Rice has turned down two contract offers made by West Ham. 
    According to the Telegraph, Rice is expected to wait for the Premier League’s big boys to make a move.
    Chelsea And Man Utd have been interested in Rice for some time, but no formal moves have been made. 
    The Hammers are demanding as manager Moyes says, “Bank of England” money, to part ways with the England star.

    FRENCH CONNECTION
    Man Utd are closing in on a deal to sign Real Madrid centre-back Raphael Varane.
    According to ESPN, a deal is close to being finalised between the two clubs.
    United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is keen to bring in a solid centre-back partner for club captain Harry Maguire.
    And the 28-year-old, four-time Champions League winner, appears to be the man Solskjaer wants.
    Varane is entering the last year of his contract at Real, and the Spanish giants risk losing him for free next summer if he doesn’t sign a new deal.
    The Frenchman could be sold this summer, to avoid making a loss.
    DONE DEAL
    Man Utd have agreed a deal to sign hot prospect Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund.
    Reputable Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano confirmed that a deal worth 90m Euros has been agreed, with add-ons.
    Personal terms have been agreed and he will be under contract until June 2026

    The French giants have already wasted little time in improving their squad this summer with some bargain additions.
    Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma is set to improve their goalkeeping situation by signing on a free transfer from AC Milan. 
    The 22-year-old has already played 251 times for the Italian side and earned 30 caps for his country. 
    He will be joined by Inter Milan right-back Achraf Hakimi who reportedly turned down Chelsea to join PSG.
    Mauricio Pochettino’s side forked out a whopping £59.8million for his signature after missing out on the title last season.
    Marquinhos and Presnel Kimpembe are likely to remain the rocks at the back with Layvin Kurzawa filling the left-back spot. 
    PSG could also welcome a new-look midfield of Paul Pogba and Georginio Wijnaldum. 
    Dutch international Wijnaldum has already signed on a free transfer from Liverpool while PSG are eager to press ahead with plans to sign Pogba. 
    According to Foot Mercato, PSG have opened talks with the player’s agent over his potential salary and will need to convince Manchester United to cash in.

    MORNING MAN UTD FANS
    Manchester United are finally close to completing the signing of Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho.
    It is understood that the Red Devils have agreed a £73m fee with the Bundesliga side plus add-ons.
    The England international is believed to have agreed on a contract until 2026 at Old Trafford.
    But in a blow for United, Chelsea have joined them in the race to sign Real Madrid centre-back Raphael Varane.
    According to Eurosport, the Blues could attempt to hijack a deal for France international Varane.
    In other news, United are claimed to be interested in signing Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka.
    According to German outlet Bild, United see Goretzka as an ideal replacement for Paul Poba should the Frenchman decide to leave Old Trafford.
    Pogba can negotiate a free transfer with other clubs in January 2022.
    And finally, Axel Tuanzebe could be en-route to Aston Villa for a third time this summer.
    The defender has already had two loan spells at Villa and they’re reportedly keen to make it a treble, according to Football Insider.
    They claim a Villa source told them that Dean Smith’s side have concrete interest in the 23-year-old, and will make a formal approach for him if given the green light.

    Petit claims Man Utd ace Paul Pogba ‘lost the plot’ in Euro 2020 loss to Switzerland and slams France’s squabbling stars

    ARSENAL legend Emmanuel Petit has slammed Paul Pogba following France’s Euro 2020 exit as he claimed he ‘lost the plot’ against Switzerland.The World Cup champions crashed out at the last-16 stage after losing on penalties against Vladimir Petkovic’s men having squandered a two-goal lead.

    Pogba thought he had banged in the winner for Les Bleus after his curling strike from distance nestled into the top right corner to put his side 3-1 up.
    But a lapse in concentration moments later allowed Haris Seferovic to pull one back, before Mario Gavranovic fired in a dramatic stoppage time equaliser.
    The Manchester United midfielder’s mistake saw Adrien Rabiot confront him on the pitch, resulting in the latter’s mum arguing with Pogba’s family in the stands.
    Petit has hit out at his compatriots for their early exit, as he told Paddy Power: “There was one incident – Pogba lost the ball for the second Swiss goal – and France collapsed.
    “We lost everything. Concentration, team spirit, desire – and the tie. Worst of all, we started fighting on the pitch between ourselves.
     “There was a big clash between Rabiot and Pogba, who lost the plot, after the second Swiss goal and from then on we had no control, no confidence.
    “We looked average – it’s hard to explain. [Kylian] Mbappe was asking for more responsibilities before the tournament, and there were stories about not passing the ball to [Olivier] Giroud.
    “There was even fighting in the stands between Rabiot, Mbappe and Pogba’s families after the second goal – Rabiot’s mother said Mbappe’s big head is spoiling the team.

    “Then Mbappe penalty is saved in the shootout. We looked so far away from the World Cup-winning team.
    “It reminds me of our team in 2002, when we went out in the group stage of the World Cup. It’s a real shame because it doesn’t need to be like this.”
    There may have been arguments on the pitch between the squad, but there was already unrest in the France team before the tournament even started.
    Kylian Mbappe and Olivier Giroud quarrelled with each other following the friendly against Bulgaria after the Chelsea ace stated the Paris Saint-Germain man refused to pass to him.
    And L’Equipe then declared that there was a bitter atmosphere in the squad prior to their opening game against Germany.

    Jadon Sancho will earn £350k a week at Man Utd, THREE times his salary at Borussia Dortmund

    The two clubs are have agreed the £73million transfer fee but, as revealed by SunSport, personal terms are already sorted.
    Sancho will pen a five-year deal at Old Trafford worth £91million – or £350,000 per week.
    That will see his wages more than trebled from the £100,000-per-week deal he is on at Dortmund.
    And it will also see him among the very best-paid players in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s squad.
    David De Gea remains the No1 – definitely on the wage bill and potentially between the sticks.
    The Spaniard gets a whopping £375,000 per week at Old Trafford.
    But Sancho looks set to jump ahead of the rest of the squad.
    That means Paul Pogba would drop to third on the list with the Frenchman earning £290,000 per week.

    Anthony Martial (£250k), Edinson Cavani (£210k) and Marcus Rashford (£200k) are the others who break the £200,000 barrier.
    Captain Harry Maguire pockets £190,000 per week while two-time United player-of-the-year Bruno Fernandes gets £180,000.
    Sancho is likely to be in direct competition with fellow England international Mason Greenwood on the right wing.
    But there is no comparison between the pair’s potential pay cheques, with the Red Devils academy graduate set to earn just a tenth of Sancho’s salary on £35,000 per week.
    Sancho is currently on international duty with England.
    But he is enduring a tough time at Euro 2020, playing just six minutes of football as a late substitute against Czech Republic.
    The winger, though, insists he is fully focused on the Three Lions despite the ongoing speculation surrounding his future and reportedly telling team-mates he will be making the switch to Old Trafford.
    He said: “I’m cool about it. There’s always going to be speculation, especially when you do well. It’s just how you handle that on the pitch.
    “You’ve got to keep doing what you’re doing, if you keep on doing that then I’m sure that won’t be a problem.
    “The main thing is my football and that’s what I’m focusing on at the moment.”

    Jadon Sancho to take Man Utd’s ‘cursed’ No7 shirt off Cavani after flops like Alexis Sanchez and Memphis Depay wore it

    JADON SANCHO will take the ‘cursed’ No7 shirt at Manchester United. Edinson Cavani currently has the number at Old Trafford and has put an end to the luckless run of owners.

    The Uruguayan, 34, arrived on a free transfer last summer and scored 17 goals in 39 appearances across all competitions.
    That is one more than predecessors Angel Di Maria, Memphis Depay AND Alexis Sanchez managed combined wearing the No7.
    The trio all struggled with the Red Devils as some suggested the number was a bad omen – despite the success United legends George Best, Bryan Robson, Eric Cantona, David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo enjoyed with it.
    Di Maria had the No7 for his one season in England, 2014-15, and scored four goals in 32 appearances before Depay took over in 2015 for two years, 53 matches and seven goals.
    Sanchez inherited it in January 2018 but fared no better with five strikes across his 45 games.
    Now, though, the Metro say Sancho will take the jersey from Cavani – despite the striker sticking around for another season.
    And United fans will be hoping he is in heaven wearing the No7, just as he has been at Borussia Dortmund.
    It comes as Borussia Dortmund confirmed the deal for Sancho to join Manchester United is done.

    Rio Ferdinand urges Jadon Sancho not to be ‘sidetracked’ at Man Utd and ‘be yourself and entertain’ after £73m transfer

    Rio Ferdinan has offered some words of wisdom to the wingerCredit: Getty
    He has already agreed personal terms on a five-year deal and will have his medical once he has finished duty with England at Euro 2020.
    Sancho has only made one substitute appearance at the tournament so far this summer.
    But he showed his capabilities last term in the Bundesliga as he scored 16 goals and produced 20 assists.
    United legend Ferdinand is now expecting the ace to carry on that blistering form at the Theatre of Dreams.
    And the ex-England centre-back urged Sancho not to let anything distract him from his goal and to ‘entertain’ at United.
    Ferdinand told his FIVE YouTube channel: “I don’t need to tell him this because he loves his football, but work hard and make sure everything you do is about being a success at Manchester United and being the best you can be.
    “Don’t let anything sidetrack you. Be yourself, entertain and the end product is what you’re about. Bring that to the table.
    “The energy and the focus should be solely on football. Just immerse yourself in everything about the club, man.”

    Ferdinand continued: “Sancho’s arrived, Sancho’s here! I feel beautiful man.
    “This boy, just look at his stats, they don’t lie. In terms of goal involvements he was the second most over three seasons – that’s a fact.
    “He’s got to convert that to the Premier League which is difficult, we’ve seen that, but listen, I believe in Jadon Sancho man.
    “Since he was a kid, he’s had hot press, hot expectations, he had the bravery to leave Man City and go abroad. Personality, character.”
    Ferdinand added: “On the right-hand side and the left-hand side, we haven’t got a winger who goes on the outside and can cross the ball. That’s what you need.
    “He can play on the right or the left, he plays with both feet. On that right-wing, as well as Mason [Greenwood] has done and I’m a massive fan of his, this is Manchester United, who are always associated with wingers.
    “At any of our most successful times, there’s been wide players who can cross the ball. For a full-back, it’s terrible news!”

    Earlier this week, reports in Germany revealed Dortmund had accepted United’s THIRD bid of the summer.
    The former Manchester City academy ace has reportedly already told Three Lions team-mates he is making the switch to join Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side.
    United’s path to Sancho was made easier after Dortmund were given the green light to sign Holland whiz Donyell Malen as his replacement.
    For now, Sancho is still currently on Euro 2020 duty with England and will hope to play a part in the quarter-final clash against Ukraine on Saturday night.
    The winger is enduring a tough time at the tournament, playing just six minutes as a late substitute against the Czech Republic.
    Sancho, though, on the bench for the last-16 win over Germany, recently insisted he is fully focused on the Three Lions.
    The England ace will become Man Utd’s third-most-expensive signing in club history behind Paul Pogba (£89m) and Harry Maguire (£80m).

    Harry Maguire paid tribute to Jordan Pickford for dealing with being the most scrutinised keeper in world football to be a shining star for England.

    Man of the match Maguire said: “We have a magnificent keeper behind us, who every time he has put on the shirt for England has been magnificent.
    “Probably the goalkeeping No 1 spot for England is the most scrutinised position in world football.”
    Maguire added: “We have excellent players but it’s not just us defenders or the keeper, it’s a unit, a base, it comes from Gareth and the way he sets us up.
    “Of course, the forward lads in terms of the way they press.”
    RAM RAID

    His mum Veronique, who is also his agent, has come under fire for arguing with the families of Paul Pogba and Kylian Mbappe in the stands after the final whistle.
    Although the Juventus star has featured 62 times in Serie A since his move from Paris Saint-Germain in July 2019, reports claim the club are willing to let him leave for just £17million.
    United, along with Chelsea and Barcelona, are believed to be interested in signing the player.

    “I believe I have the biggest opportunity to develop further here.
    “For me, that means playing consistently at a high level with more room for improvement.”
    GO GET GORETZKA
    Man Utd are interesting in signing Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka.
    According to German outlet Bild, United see Goretzka as a ideal replacement for Paul Poba should the Frenchman decide to leave Old Trafford.

    JA-DON AND DUSTED 
    Manchester United are reportedly close to finally agreeing a £77.5million deal for top target Jadon Sancho, writes JOE BROPHY.
    German outlet Sport1 claim the Red Devils have had their third official bid for the England star accepted by Borussia Dortmund.
    The report adds that Die Schwarzgelben’s CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke has had good talks with United’s executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward over the past few days.
    All that is left for the two sides to agree is any potential add-ons and instalments of the fee but that is not thought to be an issue.
    As revealed by SunSport, Sancho is closing in on a five-year deal worth £350,000 per week at Old Trafford.
    That will see his wages more than trebled from the £100,000-a-week deal he is on at the Westfalenstadion.

    THAT’S YOUR LOTT

    Bruno Fernandes was meant to be the man to inspire Portugal to a second straight European Championship victory.

    ‘BITTER’
    Man Utd legend Rio Ferdinand has labelled former United manager Jose Mourinho “bitter” over his Luke Shaw comments.
    Shaw struggled under Mourinho and the pair have made public comments about it recently.
    But Ferdinand has come to Shaw’s defence.
    Speaking on his FIVE YouTube channel: “I don’t get it man. Jose Mourinho, look at who he is.
    “The guy, the main man, I love Mourinho. He’s a manager I would have loved to play for. But leave the kid alone. 
    “You messed up his career. He would argue Luke Shaw messed up his career.
    “He has to take some responsibility (Luke Shaw) for this period as well, where he didn’t do well under Mourinho.
    “But as a manager you have to take a bit of responsibility too in getting the best out of players, that’s your job, that’s your remit to get the best out the players at your disposal but he didn’t with Luke Shaw.
    “But leave the kid alone, you’re talking about him taking corners. Please, there’s more to talk about than Luke Shaw taking corners.
    “It feels a bit personal to me and it just goes back to me as a pundit now. One of the main things I said when I started this any type of appraisal, or breaking down a situation or a club, it can’t be personal.
    “I think Jose, you can tell there’s a bit of bitterness about it. Luke doing well doesn’t reflect well on Jose Mourinho.
    “That’s the problem and where the bitterness probably stems from.”

    Man Utd are celebrating a decade of David de Gea, and have posted a throwback to his outstanding performance against Spurs in 2019.

    JACK ATTACK
    Aston Villa are hopeful that Jack Grealish will sign a new deal, ending Man City and Man Utd’s interest in the England international.
    According to the Telegraph, the Villans are optimistic about their chances of tying Grealish down to a new deal.
    The England international is attracting a lot of attention from a host of top clubs.
    And just days ago it was reported that Man City were close to agreeing a deal for the winger worth £100m.
    But now there’s optimism that Grealish will stay put and be apart of Villa’s long-term future.
    HARD TO MANAGE
    Sven-Goran Eriksson revealed he rejected offers from Chelsea and Manchester United while he was England manager, writes MARC MAYO.
    The Swede was in charge of the Three Lions between 2001 and 2006 and went to three major tournaments.
    And he revealed that he was in talks with the two Premier League giants over club managerial roles.
    Speaking to Ladbrokes, Sven said: “During my time as England manager, I had contact with Manchester United and then Chelsea.
    “But it’s almost impossible to leave your contract early as the England national manager to then go on and take over an English club. If you leave England, people will not look very good at you.

    Despite the 34-year-old signing an extension at United, after having a successful season in front of goal – the Uruguayan is being linked with a return to Italy.
    Rumours are circling that Edin Dzeko is close to leaving Roma, and former United boss Jose Mourinho wants Cavani as his replacement.
    Damiano Coccia ‘Er Faina’ told the Calciomercato Show on CMIT TV (via Sport Witness): “If Dzeko goes away, Cavani arrives.
    “The problem isn’t Dzeko, who wants to leave, but that there’s no team that wants to take the Bosnian. There was a Juventus poll but they are unwilling to give them what they ask for.”
    Although it seems unlikely to happen, if it did, Man Utd would be owed compensation.
    He added: “Tiago Pinto is strongly probing Cavani, in principle there’s a basic agreement between the club and the player. 
    “The problem is that Cavani isn’t expiring and it will be necessary to give United compensation.”

    ‘I’M SURE HE KNOWS THE PLAYERS’
    Marcus Rashford has backed England team-mate Jadon Sancho to make an impact against Germany.
    The Man Utd-linked winger Sancho currently plays in the Bundesliga for Borussia Dourtmund.
    And today he’ll be facing some familiar faces when England take on Germany at Wembley.
    Rashford said: “In a way, yes, because he’s played a lot of football against them, more than the rest of us.
    “I’m sure he knows the players, their characteristics, strengths and weaknesses and he’s definitely someone that can exploit them.
    “If one thing doesn’t quite work we have a big opportunity to change things and adapt in the game.
    “Adaptability is one of the biggest skills in football and there’s a lot of times in a game where you have to change or tweak something slightly to hurt your opponents.
    “The fact that he’s played against them a lot, he’s hurt them a lot as well, it will be a big factor for us.”

    POG TOP
    Now that France are out of Euro 2020, Man Utd COULD focus on tying Paul Pogba down to a new deal.
    The deal could see him leapfrog David de Gea at the top of Man Utd’s highest earners list.

    KEANE-POGBA PARTNERSHIP
    Roy Keane’s old rival Patrick Vieira believes that Keane would have been the perfect midfield partner to unlock Paul Pogba.
    The ITV pundit, speaking after France’s shock Euro 2020 exit to Switzerland, said: “Yes I completely agree when you look at his potential, what he can do on the field, you expect more from him. 
    “I think if he played next to Roy he would be a different player.
    “He needs somebody behind his back, to put him under pressure every day, to be really demanding on him.”
    ‘HE CAN BE FRUSTRATING’
    Man Utd legend Roy Keane has said that midfielder Paul Pogba “can be frustrating”.
    France spectacularly crashed out of Euro 2020 on penalties to Switzerland.
    And Pogba scored a worldie, but struggled in parts of the game – leading to criticism from both Gary Neville and Keane.
    Keane, in particular, said: “He can be frustrating.
    “This is all a part of Paul’s character, which people love to see, but then I’d be looking at the goal they conceded in injury time, where he was sloppy in midfield. That’s the bit I’d be really critical about.
    “It seems harsh because he’s done some brilliant stuff going forward tonight. There’s no doubting Paul’s quality, just the other side, maybe his maturity.
    “We’ve mentioned all night, and United have had the same problem, can he play in a two in midfield? He probably can’t, doesn’t have the discipline.
    “He was at his best in Juventus when he probably got a bit more freedom and was surrounded by more men, more characters, probably better quality players.
    “But even today, he still leaves you frustrated. For all his brilliant quality coming forward, I still think he lacks that discipline defensively.
    “That’s the key, the top players manage to do it week in week out and Paul, to me, still doesn’t quite do it.”
