      Man Utd youngster Dylan Levitt signed by Charlton on season long loan transfer after impressing on Wales debut

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED youngster Dylan Levitt has signed for Charlton on a season long loan.
      United legend Ryan Giggs gave Levitt his full Wales debut last week and the midfielder’s impressive performance has caught the eye of the Addicks.

      Man Utd midfielder Dylan Levitt has signed for Charlton on loan
      The teenager played the full 90 minutes in his country’s 1-0 win in Finland.
      And Ole Gunnar Solskjaer also has faith in the holding midfielder having given him his first team bow against Astana in the Europa League last year.
      Charlton boss Lee Bowyer wanted to add energy to his midfield and has managed to secure a deal.
      The Addicks had promising West Ham star Josh Cullen on loan last season in midfield but the 24-year-old has returned to the London Stadium.

      Levitt’s impressive passing ability from a deep lying midfield role is said to have alerted Giggs to his potential some time ago.
      And Giggs was so impressed, he handed him his first senior call up in May 2019 for Wales’ Euro 2020 qualifiers against Croatia and Hungary.
      Levitt’s mentality is said to be one his biggest strengths and his international gaffer wants him in his squad for many years to come.
      He previously told United’s website: “When Dylan was in the [Euro] squad, we had must-win games so I couldn’t really throw him in and put him in that pressure cooker.

      “But, in training, he’s one of the best.

      “He’s my kind of player – a good character, quiet but tough, and he’s one that I’ll be taking a big look at over the next year or so.
      “I want him to develop and if he does and, if he plays more games, then he’ll definitely be in the reckoning.
      “He’s a really intelligent player with a good range of passing and he stands out in training in every session.”

      ‘Desperate’ Man Utd slammed over Jadon Sancho transfer by Gary Neville after stalling over £109m deal

      by

      “DESPERATE” Manchester United should have acted quicker to land £109million star Jadon Sancho, according to Gary Neville.
      The Red Devils have been heavily linked with the England ace for months.

      The Red Devils icon said his old club can come off as ‘desperate’ in negotiations and should now switch their focus
      But the deal stalled after Dortmund’s August 10 deadline to complete the move passed.
      The Bundesliga side wanted the transfer wrapped up quickly to avoid disruption to their pre-season preparations and Neville thinks United could have done more to bag the 20-year-old.
      He told the Mail: “Like everyone else they had three months off because of coronavirus, so I don’t think it should be the case they didn’t have the resource or time to get things done.
      “Chelsea got their business done, [Manchester] City have got three or four pieces done. I don’t think timing’s the issue.

      “It’s just a thing with United that every time they go for a player in the last four, five, six years it feels they are a little bit desperate.
      “They think they can hang on but they always pay it [the asking price] in the end.
      “That’s sometimes where I think you can take control, give a hard deadline and say ‘we’re moving away from this deal’.”
      After the deadline passed, Dortmund director Michael Zorc told United to forget about a deal this summer.

      And Neville thinks his old club should now focus on another star.
      He added: “The fact that it’s dragged on. Just say to Dortmund ‘leave him there’ and go get another player.
      “There are plenty of players around, there can’t be just one player you’re chasing.
      “It is frustrating but I do think United have been better in these last couple of seasons, more careful and not making mistakes either.

      “If you can’t get a deal done [for Sancho] you have to move on. You certainly have to give hard deadlines on players.”
      Neville’s fellow Sky pundit Jamie Carragher recently claimed United could lose out on the Sancho signing to their bitter rivals Liverpool.
      And Sancho himself also revealed he has a sleep problem and said he needs to be more professional.

      England release damning statement and FA probe over Mason Greenwood and Phil Foden breaking Covid rule to sneak girls in

      by

      THE FA have issued a damning statement and will launch a “full investigation” after Phil Foden and Mason Greenwood broke England’s coronavirus protocol.
      The pair have been dumped from the Three Lions squad after inviting two girls to the team hotel in Iceland, violating Covid rules.

      Footage has since emerged of two giggling Icelandic girls asking the stars how they would sneak them into the hotel.
      And FA chiefs have slammed the pair and confirmed they will launch a probe into the incident.
      In a statement, an FA spokesperson said: “Whilst in Iceland, both Phil Foden and Mason Greenwood spent time outside of our private team area, which was a breach of our COVID-19 rules.

      “While they did not leave the team hotel, it was an unacceptable breach of our protocol. They have both apologised for their serious lack of judgement.
      “The FA will be launching a full investigation into the circumstances leading up to this breach.
      “We have spoken to the Football Association of Iceland to offer our apologies for this incident and to ensure them that we are taking the appropriate steps.
      “We have also assured the Danish Football Union that all other players and staff members have been isolated within our group throughout this period.

      “Our immediate priority now is preparing the team for the match against Denmark tomorrow.”

      The duo both made their international debuts in Saturday’s 1-0 win over Iceland but have now been kicked out of the squad after breaching the coronavirus guidelines yesterday.
      Boss Gareth Southgate confirmed the ‘naive’ duo would be sent home.
      The pair have not yet left the country as they each face a £1,360 fine from Icelandic police for a legal breach of Covid restrictions.

      Heartbroken Donny van de Beek dedicates Man Utd move to ‘dying’ first coach Harm Grevink who is battling cancer

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED midfielder Donny van de Beek has revealed he longed to move to a bigger club to fulfil the dream of his dying former coach.
      The 23-year-old completed his £39million switch to Old Trafford from Ajax on Wednesday in what was the Red Devils’ first signing of the summer.

      Van de Beek’s former coach Harm Grevink first spotted the player when he was at Veensche Boys
      And the Dutch international has opened up on why he was desperate to leave the Eredivisie outfit.
      Van de Beek has admitted that it has always been former coach Harm Grevink’s wish for him to join one of Europe’s elite teams.
      Grevink brought Van de Beek to Ajax after spotting him at Veensche Boys, with the player going on to feature in 175 games for the club.
      And Van de Beek has been overcome with emotion after fulfilling the 73-year-old’s dream, with his mentor not having long left to live having been diagnosed with cancer.

      The 2018-19 Eredivisie winner has also stated the coronavirus crisis scuppered his potential move to Real Madrid, leaving him more determined to join United.
      DONNY’S DREAM
      He said: “Harm was the man who spotted my talent as a kid. He told me I had the talent to become a professional player and he took me to Ajax.
      “Whenever I was away from the club, we were training skills and all sorts. He was like a private coach.
      “Sadly now he is dying – but he had one dream for me. He wanted to live to see my transfer to a big club, the next big stage in my career.

      “We thought it was going to be Real Madrid. That did not work out, for ­various ­different reasons.

      “Now I have joined an absolutely fantastic club in the biggest competition in the world.
      “The fact that Harm knows that I am now a Manchester United player, among all those other great players at Old Trafford, fills me with joy. Because Harm is a wonderful man.”
      Despite United fans praising the signing of Van de Beek, pundit Paul Merson believes the purchase is nothing more than a ‘panic buy’.

      Man Utd transfer pursuit of Sancho in desperate need of ‘drastic breakthrough’ as crunch talks fail to pick up pace

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED reportedly must make a ‘drastic breakthrough’ in negotiations if they wish to prise Jadon Sancho away from Borussia Dortmund.
      With just a month left to go in the transfer window, the Red Devils are in danger of failing to land their No1 summer target.

      BVB are seeking a fee in the region of £108million for the England international.
      But United are looking to ‘sort out the salary and fees of intermediaries’ before making an official offer.
      Dortmund are in no rush to sell Sancho – who has three years left to run on his contract in Germany – with the club confident he will stay.
      And according to the Daily Mail, United are in a race against time to sign Sancho having made little progress in their quest to sign him.

      They claim that there has hardly been any progress in talks surrounding the agents fee, as well as what Sancho’s salary would be at Old Trafford.
      DOR CLOSING
      And the news outlet also states that the club appear unlikely to sign RB Leipzig centre-back Dayot Upamecano this summer.
      Meanwhile the club are yet to make a bid for Real Madrid left-back Sergio Reguilon, despite Spanish media reporting they offered Los Blancos £27m.
      United have made just one signing this window, with Dutch midfielder Donny van de Beek joining from Ajax for £39m on Wednesday.

      But Sancho is the player Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been desperate to bring to the club.
      The 20-year-old has opened up on speculation regarding his future, where he stated he isn’t paying attention to rumours.

      Asked whether he wishes the rumours would go away, he said: “No, the media’s the media.
      “They’re always going to try and create a story, but this is how you manage it.
      “For me, I just focus on my football. I just want to do what’s best for my team and win titles at the end of the day.”

      Man Utd transfer target Jadon Sancho reveals ‘sleep problem’ and admits he needs to be more professional

      by

      JADON SANCHO says he needs to be more professional after revealing his “sleep problem” sometimes makes him late for training.
      The 20-year-old was fined £86,000 by Borussia Dortmund in October for arriving to the club late after returning from England duty.

      And he was also benched for the Barcelona clash in November after he missed a team meeting due to being asleep.
      Sancho even incurred the wrath of the Bundesliga in June when he was slapped with an £8,900 fine after breaking lockdown rules to get a haircut.
      The incident led Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc to admit the club are losing patience with the ex-Manchester City youth star.
      And Sancho has stated he is aware he needs to work on his professionalism in an interview with SoccerBible.

      He said: “In Germany there’s a few things that I still need to work on.
      SAN STORM
      “Sometimes I’m late to training and it’s things like this that I need to work on, because I have a sleep problem.
      “Little things like that, where I need to be a little more professional and put things right.
      “But I’m working on it and the club’s helping me and the team is helping me. Slowly but surely, as I get older, I feel like I’m learning new things.

      “People do say that I’m very mature for my age. I guess leaving home and learning things for myself has helped with that.”
      Sancho even commented on speculation regarding his future as Manchester United line up making an offer for the exciting forward.

      David Moyes pulled plug on Man Utd’s transfer for Thiago as he didn’t know enough about him… then signed Fellaini

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED were close to signing Bayern Munich star Thiago in 2013 but David Moyes vetoed it, according to reports.
      Instead the Scot signed Everton midfielder Marouane Fellaini on deadline day.

      The Scot instead signed Marouane Fellaini from Everton
      Thiago ended up signing for Bayern where he has since won seven Bundesliga titles and a Champions League.
      Whereas Fellaini only managed an FA Cup, a League Cup and a Europa League title with United.
      Sir Alex Ferguson had set up a £17million deal to sign Thiago, 29, from Barcelona before his retirement, according to ESPN.
      But once he had left Old Trafford the decision fell to his replacement – and now West Ham manager – Moyes.

      Thiago was said to be keen on a Nou Camp exit in order to play first-team football.
      But Moyes reportedly shut the move down because he did not know enough about the Spanish international.
      The Scot had been told by United chiefs they were planning a mega move that summer – with Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo being mentioned.
      And as a result he held off on giving the Thiago deal the green light.

      Four Premier League teams crack the top ten highest wage bills in Europe

      United reportedly attempted to sign Thiago’s Barca team-mate Cesc Fabregas instead but that move also fell through.
      So having missed out on several targets, Moyes was forced to raid his old club and sign Fellaini on the last day of the summer transfer window.
      Thiago could be making a belated move to the Premier League this summer with United interested again.
      But the Spaniard is said to be leaning more towards Liverpool.

      Mason Greenwood handed Martial’s old Man Utd No11 shirt after stunning rise.. with No7 still free for Jadon Sancho

      by

      MASON GREENWOOD has been rewarded for his outstanding breakthrough season with Manchester United’s famous No11 shirt.
      And the Red Devils have left another of their other special numbers free for the arrival of Jadon Sancho.

      The No7 shirt has been left free with fans believing it is being held for Jadon SanchoCredit: Getty Images
      Forward Greenwood, 18, wore the No26 jersey while scoring 17 goals for ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side last term.
      That form led to a first England call-up by Gareth Southgate for the upcoming Nations League clashes.
      And now he looks set to play another huge role at United after he was handed Ryan Giggs’ old number.
      Former winger Giggs played nearly a thousand games for United between 1991 and 2014.

      Since his retirement Adnan Januzaj was given it for two years until Anthony Martial got it when his No9 was handed to Zlatan Ibrahimovic in 2016 by Jose Mourinho.
      But the Frenchman reclaimed that number last summer after Romelu Lukaku departed for inter Milan, which left the No11 jersey vacant.
      That means the formidable front three of Martial, Marcus Rashford and Greenwood will done the traditional attacking numbers of 9, 10 and 11 respectively.
      However, it is the absence of another famed shirt number in the latest squad list that has got fans talking.

      The historic No7, worn in recent times by both David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo, has still not been allocated.
      Big-money signings Angel Di Maria, Memphis Depay and Alexis Sanchez were each given the shirt upon their arrivals at Old Trafford but all flopped.

      Now the Stretford End are hoping that the lack of a No7 is a sign that United are closing in on Borussia Dortmund’s England winger Sancho.
      The 20-year-old has been linked with a move to the club all summer, although his price tag is currently holding up the transfer.
      However, that has not stopped supporters from believing it is only a matter of time before United make a breakthrough so he can claim the number seven.

      It’s all set up for sancho to take that iconic 7 united shirt
