Erik’s caged Devils
EXCLUSIVE: Erik ten Hag plans to cage in his players as part of his grand plan to rebuild Manchester United, writes PHIL THOMAS.
The new Old Trafford gaffer has already handed training ground staff details of what he wants when he starts work this summer.

And that includes prepping a five-a-side pitch for what Ten Hag has labelled “cage work,” when players are put through a confined space-session.
United’s smaller pitch at their Carrington base is already fenced in and there will be no excuses – or escape – for the likes of Marcus Rashford and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ten Hag is believed to also want some of the half-sized pitches redrawn to replicate the ones he used on a daily basis at Ajax.
A United insider said: “The new manager has already provided a number of technical requests and the staff are working hard to have it ready
“The astro five-a-side pitch is named the Adidas Predator Zone and the lads use it for fun and games – but Ten Hag has daily plans for it.
“He wants the players locked in and uncomfortable until they are totally at ease with it. The pitch is caged in and he wants it ready to go.
“The club is determined to give him everything he needs and it is currently all hands to the pump at Carrington.”
Butt and Scholes will Salf it out
EXCLUSIVE: Nicky Butt and Paul Scholes will take a more hands-on role in running the team and training at Salford City.
The ex-Manchester United pair are club owners – along with fellow Class of 92 stars Gary Neville, Phil Neville, Ryan Giggs and David Beckham – and will work closely with new boss Neil Wood.
Butt, 47, left his coaching job at United last year and Scholes, also 47, was manager at Oldham in 2019.  
Now they will move from the boardroom to help Wood, 39, on a regular basis.
As SunSport revealed earlier this week, Wood became the shock choice for the job at the Peninsula Stadium, before he was announced on Friday.
Wood, who replaced Gary Bowyer, is another former United academy graduate – although he never made a senior appearance for the Red Devils.
Aaron eyes new Utd contract
EXCLUSIVE: Aaron Wan-Bissaka wants a new deal at United — but has been told to wait on Erik ten Hag’s verdict on his future, writes ALAN NIXON.
The right-back is out of contract in two years.
United blocked recent inquiries for him, prompting AWB’s team to ask for a long-term deal instead.
Crystal Palace have been linked with re-signing their academy star, but Wan-Bissaka is on more than the Eagles usually pay.
Even a loan return to Selhurst Park would be difficult to sort due to his current wages.
Incoming boss Ten Hag will pass judgement on the current squad, with United expected to make a number of changes this summer.
Cottagers want Matic talks
EXCLUSIVE: Fulham want to talk veteran Nemanja Matic into staying in the Prem after he leaves Manchester United, writes ALAN NIXON.
The Championship winners are keen to bring the ex-Chelsea midfielder back to London.
Matic, 33, has played a key role at United lately and is still very capable at the top level.
But he is choosing to move on rather than be part of Erik ten Hag’s revolution.
Foreign interest in Matic is great but he could get a deal that works for him at Fulham and can slot back into life in London, after two great spells with the Blues.
Matic revealed he would leave United last month in a lengthy statement on social media.
Evra calls out absent Utd legends
Ex-United left-back Patrice Evra appeared to lash out at fellow club heroes who missed the 3-1 Legends’ charity match defeat to Liverpool at Old Trafford.
United greats such as Gary Neville, Jaap Stam and Dimitar Berbatov laced their boots one more time to take on former Reds rivals including Jamie Carragher, Dirk Kuyt and Jerzy Dudek.

Ex-France left-back Evra – who played with Three Lions icons including Wayne Rooney, Paul Scholes and Rio Ferdinand – was also unhappy with the lack of heroes who are based in England as he himself had to fly from Dubai.
The former left-back told MUTV: “I’m sorry for the fans. I know it’s a charity game, but there is a rivalry between the two clubs. There is no friendly match.
“Where are the English players? I live in Dubai. I came from there. When Man Utd call, you answer.
“I think more legends should be here today. When United calls you, you have to be there.”
Chelsea ‘obvious match for Pogba’
Paul Pogba has been rated Chelsea’s perfect signing.
The Manchester United midfielder, 29, is tipped for a summer free transfer to old club Juventus or PSG, with Real Madrid now outsiders.
But ex-Red Devils striker Louis Saha believes Pogba would form a natural partnership with a more defensive France team-mate at Stamford Bridge.
Fellow Frenchman Saha told Lord Ping: “Chelsea is the obvious match for Pogba because he loves to play with N’Golo Kante.
“We always try to compare what he does with France and United and the ability of Kante makes Pogba play to another dimension.
“Only Pogba can indicate where he wants to go, I’m just sad he hasn’t fulfilled his dream.”
Pogba has reportedly rejected joining United’s neighbours City.
Spurs ‘pave way for Utd on Johnstone’
Manchester United could be in pole position for West Brom keeper Sam Johnstone as Tottenham reportedly eye Fraser Forster instead.
Manchester United could be in pole position for West Brom keeper Sam Johnstone as Tottenham reportedly eye Fraser Forster instead.
Red Devils’ second-choice stopper Dean Henderson could be loaned out, with Bournemouth and Fulham keen.
And United have been linked with Johnstone long before Erik ten Hag was named as incoming manager.
Red Devils’ second-choice stopper Dean Henderson could be loaned out, with Bournemouth and Fulham keen.
Even Legends can’t salvage Utd pride
United’s Legends were humbled just as much as the mediocre current squad have been this season as Mark Gonzalez hit a stunner in a 3-1 Charity match win for Liverpool’s oldies.
The former Chile midfielder only spent one season at Anfield in 2006-07 – scoring two Premier League goals.

But he notched a superb 30-yard free-kick past United sub keeper Kevin Pilkington and a stoppage-time clincher.
A goalless first half was played in high spirits for good causes,including the Man Utd Foundation, with £1.3million raised as Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher captained the two teams and the likes of Patrice Evra, Jaap Stam and Andriy Voronin took part.
But Liverpool came flying out of the blocks in the second 45.
Replacement forward Luis Garcia’s cheeky stepover beat Raimond van der Gouw all ends up and Garcia rounded the keeper to roll in the opener.
Dimitar Berbatov won a penalty three minutes later to coolly slot in for 1-1.
But Dirk Kuyt hit the post for Liverpool before Gonzalez struck twice to give them victory.
Juve fans ecstatic at ‘Pogba agreeing return’
Paul Pogba sent Juventus fans into meltdown with his latest Instagram post – after reportedly agreeing to return to Turin.
He got Old Lady supporters excited by uploading a picture of him posing on a waterfront on his social media.
Pogba, wearing a yellow tracksuit with “Guinea” on the back and a red cap, faced away from the camera overlooking the greenery, water and hills beyond.

It is unclear exactly where the photo was taken – but fans flooded the replies with comments of “Pogback” as they prepare for his return to Juventus.
One said: “See you at the stadium Paul.”
Another wrote: “Welcome back.”
And a third added: “We are waiting for you at home.”
The Manchester United midfielder, 29, is out of contract at Old Trafford this summer.
And he looks set to leave as a free agent with no extension agreed.
A controversial move across town to Manchester City fell through and PSG were also keen.
Barca say it will be tough to sign Lewandowski
Barcelona are in talks to sign Robert Lewandowski but say it will be difficult to land the Bayern Munich legend.
Poland striker Lewandowski has hinted in recent weeks he fancies a new challenge.
And Barca were immediately rated favourites to sign the 33-year-old.
Manchester United and Chelsea have previously been linked tentatively with arguably Europe’s most proven out-and-out frontman of the past decade.

Cristiano Ronaldo has withdrawn from Manchester United’s squad for tomorrow’s Prem finale at Crystal Palace with a hip injury.

Manchester United and Arsenal are reportedly being joined by Chelsea and Newcastle in eyeing Lille striker Jonathan David.

Incoming Old Trafford chief Erik ten Hag has added the 22-year-old to his shortlist of potential new frontmen this summer.

One said: “See you at the stadium Paul.”
Another wrote: “Welcome back.”

Breaking – Ronaldo will miss final game of season
Cristiano Ronaldo will miss Manchester United’s final game of the season through injury.
The Portugal international has been United’s most prolific performer this season – despite recently turning 37.
But the club legend will miss the Red Devils’ final match of the season away at Crystal Palace.
That’s according to The Athletic, who claim a hip flexor problem has ruled the Portuguese out of Sunday’s match at Selhurst Park.

Pogba to Juve done, say reports

The 29-year-old is available on a free transfer with his contract at Old Trafford to expire at the end of the season.
La Gazetta dello Sport report that the last doubts are “resolved” and Paul Pogba is heading back to Juventus.
A three-year contract is “ready” for Pogba to sign but the midfielder has “decided”.
It is worth of around £120k-a-week, plus bonuses.

De Jong wants Champions League
Manchester United transfer target Frenkie de Jong wants Champions League football next season – throwing his move to Old Trafford in doubt even further.
A transfer could now be in doubt as the Barcelona star is desperate to play for a team in the Champions League, not just the Premier League.
Journalist Fabrizio Romano said: “I’m sure he wants to play Champions League football, so it’s not going to be easy.”
With Man Utd seemingly heading to the Europa League, if results go their way on Sunday, the player could go elsewhere.
Xavi praises De Jong
Barcelona boss Xavi has praised Frenkie de Jong ahead of a potential block to the Man Utd transfer.
New Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag is rumoured to be keen on bringing the midfielder to the club, having worked with him at Ajax.
But Xavi says: “For me, Frenkie is a great player, he’s a beast – I like him and I think he can be part of an important era of the club.
“We will see the economic situation of the club… but I like de Jong”.

Ring in the changes at United
Ralf Rangnick has told Manchester United to go for glory in the Europa League and guarantee themselves a place in the prestigious Champions League again.
Rangnick said: “It is a big difference if a club like United plays in the Europa League rather than the Europa Conference League.
“Frankfurt finished in the lower half of Bundesliga but won the Europa League and qualified for the Champions League – this should be an incentive.”
German Rangnick, who officially hands over the reins of power to Ten Hag on Monday, added: “I still strongly believe there is a core of players who are top, and good enough to play for the club.
“And hopefully most of them will still be here.
“If the board and Erik bring in players with the right mentality, I am positive that we will be able to put this club back not just on the right track but to the top.
“Maybe it will not happen in one transfer window but I am positive in the next two or three.”
Pogba at Juventus : part two
Paul Pogba has reportedly agreed to return to Juventus having taken a huge pay cut.
The French playmaker spent four years at the Italian club before a world-record £109m move to Old Trafford.
He made 178 appearances for the Turin team, scoring 34 goals and providing 40 assists.
Juventus won FOUR consecutive Serie A titles with Pogba at the club.

Manchester United to blow sixth?
Chris Sutton and Micah Richards spoke with the Daily Mail in preparation for tomorrow’s Premier League finale.
Both agreed that Ralf Rangnick’s team could slip up.
Sutton said: “Manchester United deserve the Europa Conference League after this sorry season”.
And former Man City defender Richards thinks “West Ham win at Brighton but I don’t think Manchester United beat Crystal Palace”.
If that happens, West Ham finish sixth for Europa League, and the Red Devils would be in the Europa Conference League next season.
Sutton added that “most people around the country would say West Ham deserve sixth more than United”.
Team news for tomorrow
Some stars are set to miss their Ten Hag audition through injury or illness.
Up and coming youngster Alejandro Garnacho won’t play a part this weekend.
Interim boss Ralf Rangnick confirmed: “Unfortunately Alejandro was ill in the last couple of days.
“Today his first back, he might be back but not sure if he is physically fit to play.”
Luke Shaw is also a doubt, with the left-back’s wife giving birth to their second child on Friday.
Jadon Sancho and Phil Jones will also miss out.

Dybala to snub Prem giants
Soon-to-be free agent Paulo Dybala has reportedly ruled out a move to England as he closes in on a transfer to Inter Milan, writes Joshua Mbu.
Dybala is set to depart Juventus after spending seven years of his club career there.
The Argentine is attracting interest from a host of Europe’s top clubs, with the likes of Inter Milan, Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and Roma all interested.

Chelsea and Utd in ‘Koulibaly boost’
Napoli’s determination to keep Chelsea and Manchester United target Kalidou Koulibaly has reportedly weakened.
The Senegal star, 30, is likely to be one of the summer’s most-sought after centre-backs.
Chelsea need reinforcements as Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen are set to leave for free, with Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso other possible departures in defence.
And incoming United boss Erik ten Hag will be handed a long-term problem to resolve – finding the right partnership at centre-back.
Ajax pair Jurrien Timber and Lisandro Martinez have both ben mentioned recently.
It all means Koulibaly, whose Napoli contract expires in 2023, is likely to be a major Prem target in the next close season.
Mellor exits Old Trafford
Manchester United Under-23s striker D’Mani Mellor is leaving the club this summer.
He said on Instagram: “The end of my first chapter in football. Making a debut for Man Utd is something that only a small number of people have the honour to say that they have achieved.

“I’ll always be connected with this amazing club.
“Now, a new chapter starts. I’m ready for that next step and I’m excited to show everyone what I can do.”

Bye now, Depay later
Speculation is growing that Arsenal could move in for Barcelona’s Memphis Depay.
It’s suggested the ex-Manchester United speedster striker could be available for ‘just £25million.
And now it’s claimed the Gunners will be encouraged to bid tor the Holland speedster, 28.

Henderson urged to join Toon
Dean Henderson has been urged to join Newcastle and prove he’s world class.
Former Manchester United defender Paul Parker believes Manchester United’s second-choice keeper is driven by ‘ego’.
Ex-England star Parker told indiabetting.co.in said of the Toon target: “Give him the opportunity.
“You can prove it at Newcastle with the pressure on him from their fans. If he’s got an opportunity to play regular football, he’s gonna want it.”
“He’s not gonna be sitting down, his ego is not allowing him.
“Dean Henderson going there will put himself at the forefront and people will really see how good he is.”
Mangala rated back-up option for De Jong
Stuttgart’s Orel Mangala is rated a £13million back-up target if United miss out on Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong.
Mangala’s agent Mehmet Eser, has reportedly confirmed the Red Devils’ interest in the Belgium star, 24,
United have long sought a world-class anchorman.
And Erik ten Hag’s hopes of reuniting with former Ajax hero De Jong have been dented by a Barca’s asking price of around £65m.

United and Arsenal in for David
Manchester United and Arsenal are being linked to West Ham and Aston Villa ‘target’ Jonathan David.
Lille’s Canada striker has attracted Prem interest for at least a year.
And it’s Erik ten Hag has added the 22-year-old to his shortlist of potential new frontmen this summer.

Brandon heading back from Norwich
Relegated Norwich are offloading eight out-of-contract players plus their four loanees – including Chelsea midfielder Billy Gilmour and Manchester United full-back Brandon Williams.
German midfield star Lukas Rapp helped the Canaries to promotion in 2020-21 but departs along with Josip Drmić, Josh Giurgi, Aston Oxborough, Nelson Khumbeni, Reece McAlear, Solomon Alidor-Hamilton and Olatunde Okeowo.
Scotland ace Gilmour, former England Under-21 defender Williams, Schalke’s Ozan Kabak and Mathias Normann from Russian side Rostov will return to their parent clubs after Saturday’s Prem finale at home to Spurs.
Utd linked to Raphinha swoop
Manchester United could move for Leeds winger Raphinha.
It’s understood third-bottom Leeds could lose FIVE stars if they go down.
Liverpool and especially West Ham have also been linked with seven cap Brazilian Raphinha.
And the 25-year-old is admired by incoming Old Trafford chief Erik ten Hag.
How Red Devils might line up at Palace
United’s under-achievers will be handed their first chance to impress incoming boss Erik ten Hag at Crystal Palace on Sunday.
The Dutchman will be at Selhurst Park for the final day of the Premier League season.

United are currently in pole position to secure the final Europa League place, leading West Ham by two points.

Ralf: ten Hag must fix Utd spirit
Ralf Rangnick will hand over Old Trafford control to incoming boss Erik ten Hag with the warning: Fix the club’s spirit.
United will finish only sixth or seventh in the Prem after another inconsistent season, blighted by defensive failings and question marks over their unity.
And damningly, interim chief Rangnick believes the biggest problem could be the morale of the whole squad.
Ten Hag is expected to undertake a huge shake-up on and perhaps off the field when he arrives from Ajax over the summer.
No more D’Mani Utd
Manchester United Under-23s striker D’Mani Mellor is leaving the club this summer.
He said on Instagram: “The end of my first chapter in football. Making a debut for Man Utd is something that only a small number of people have the honour to say that they have achieved.
“I’ve been extremely fortunate to represent this club for over 10 years. There are so many people that I have to thank for their support along the way. Many have become my closest friends throughout my time here.

Pogba made City U-turn
Paul Pogba agreed a controversial transfer to local rivals Manchester City but made a dramatic U-turn amid fears of fan backlash, according to reports.
Pogba had even agreed personal terms with City ahead of a potential move, according to The Times.
But the Frenchman is said to have then turned down a move across town from Old Trafford to the Etihad.
Pogba is claimed to have been concerned by the potential backlash he would inevitably have faced from the United faithful.
The Times go on to report Pogba reckoned life in Manchester would have become “unbearable” if he made the high-profile switch to United’s bitter rivals.
Ten Hag told not to be Rash
Erik Ten Hag is being urged to keep faith with out-of-form Marcus Rashford, writes Neil Custis.
The new Manchester United boss needs convincing that the misfiring 24-year-old forward should be part of his plans next season.
Ten Hag, who was pictured with agent Kees Vos leaving the club’s London HQ last night, has been discussing recruitment plans and wants a new striker to complement Cristiano Ronaldo.

But staff at the club are convinced that Rashford still has a bright future, despite his disappointing season.
Interim manager Ralf Rangnick has been at pains to emphasise how good Rashford is in training — but remains at a loss as to why he cannot transfer that form to match days.
This season has seen his worst scoring return since breaking into the first team back in 2015-16.
United staff hope Dutchman Ten Hag can get him firing again and want the ex-Ajax boss to give him a shot.
Jose’s United jibe
Jose Mourinho was axed by the Red Devils in December 2018 after overseeing what was at the time their worst start to a league season in 28 years.
Mourinho, 59, has failed to guide his new side into Italy’s top four, but will take part in the inaugural Europa Conference League final.
Ahead of Europe’s third-tier competition’s showpiece event against Feyenoord in Tirana, Mourinho has been discussing the fortunes of some of the continent’s older managers, including Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti.
He couldn’t resist taking a dig at United and Spurs, hinting that they are clubs that no longer expect their managers to win trophies.
Mourinho said: “I believe that the problem with Carlo Ancelotti was that when you coach Everton you are not about to win the Champions League.
“And with me, you know, people they saw me taking up jobs where they thought that I could win trophies but they were not jobs where we were expected to lift trophies.”
Charlie Savage signs extension with United
Robbie Savage is delighted that his son Charlie was given a new long-term deal with Man United.
Robbie said after his 19-year-son was handed the extension: “”So proud, thank you to everyone involved.
“Huge thank you to Chris and Jake at new era.”

Dybala rules out move to United
Soon-to-be free agent Paulo Dybala has reportedly ruled out a move to England as he closes in on a transfer to Inter Milan, writes Joshua Mbu.
Dybala is set to depart Juventus after spending seven years of his club career there.
The Argentine is attracting interest from a host of Europe’s top clubs, with the likes of Inter Milan, Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and Roma all interested.
Manchester United and Tottenham, who have both been long-term admirers of the forward are also keen on exploring a possible deal.

But according to AS, a move to the Premier League is off the cards with Dybala’s “own environment” ruling out the proposal.
This is despite Fabio Paratici, who orchestrated Dybala’s move to Juve, now working for the North London club.
It looks like Dybala’s preference is to stay in Italy.
Journalist Nicolo Schira is reporting that the 28-year-old is closing in on a move to Inter.
Man United scrap awards
Man United have reportedly CANCELLED their end of season awards ceremony after a request from the players.
The Red Devils will post their worst-ever Premier League points tally regardless of Sunday’s result at Crystal Palace.
And their shocking season meant United stars were too embarrassed for the awards night to go ahead, according to the Mirror.
Each year the club host a glitzy end-of-season do to recognise the best performers over the course of the season from both the first-team and the academy.
The black-tie event held at Old Trafford has occupied a regular spot on the calendar during the final two weeks of the season for the last 10 years.
But despite Covid-19 cancelling the last two editions, the players were not keen on the night going ahead this year.
Mbappe to announce his future in ‘The Decision II’
Kylian Mbappe will reportedly announce his eagerly-anticipated next move this weekend, writes Chisanga Malata.
The coveted Mbappe has remained tight-lipped on his next move but will reportedly break his silence on his future on Sunday.
That’s according to L’Equipe, who claim the World Cup winner will spill the beans at 10am BST.
Mbappe’s planned announcement has drawn comparisons to LeBron James’ announcing of his 2012 move to the Miami Heat.
The future NBA Hall of Famer kept basketball fans on tenterhooks with an hour-and-half-long show – which was fittingly named ‘The Decision’.
He eventually announced his departure from the Cleveland Cavaliers but returned to lift a championship with them in 2016.
Man United close in on Timber
Man United appear to be on the verge of closing in on the signing of Ajax defender Jurrien Timber.
Incoming Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag has been linked with bringing one of his current top stars with him to Old Trafford.
Now the Netherlands centre-half looks set to complete the move to the Premier League.
The 20-year-old star is represented by Forza Sports Group.
And the company has sparked speculation a transfer is imminent by seemingly dropping a big hint online.
They posted a clip on social media of an airport and captioned it with: “Deal closing time…”

Ten Hag in town
Erik ten Hag has been spotted leaving the Man United’s London office ahead of taking charge – appearing set to attend United’s final game of the season.
He arrived in London on a private jet on Wednesday with assistant Mitchell van der Gaag.
The duo had previously been working for the Red Devils remotely, so as not to distract from Ralf Rangnick’s preparations for United’s final game of the season against Crystal Palace.
But the soon-to-be manager did visit United’s southern office in the West End to meet up with his new bosses.
A photo showed Ten Hag, dressed in a light suit with a blue shirt, in the back seat of a motor departing the premises alongside his agent Kees Vos.

Scotland ace Gilmour, former England Under-21 defender Williams, Schalke’s Ozan Kabak and Mathias Normann from Russian side Rostov will return to their parent clubs after Saturday’s Prem finale at home to Spurs.
Utd linked to Raphinha swoop
Manchester United could move for Leeds winger Raphinha.
It’s understood third-bottom Leeds could lose FIVE stars if they go down.
Liverpool and especially West Ham have also been linked with seven cap Brazilian Raphinha.
And the 25-year-old is admired by incoming Old Trafford chief Erik ten Hag.
How Red Devils might line up at Palace
United’s under-achievers will be handed their first chance to impress incoming boss Erik ten Hag at Crystal Palace on Sunday.
The Dutchman will be at Selhurst Park for the final day of the Premier League season.

United are currently in pole position to secure the final Europa League place, leading West Ham by two points.
But should Palace hold United to a draw or beat them and West Ham win at Brighton, the Red Devils will contest the Europa Conference League next term.
However, some stars are set to miss their Ten Hag audition through injury or illness.
Up and coming youngster Alejandro Garnacho won’t play a part this weekend.
Interim boss Ralf Rangnick confirmed: “Unfortunately Alejandro was ill in the last couple of days.
“Today his first back, he might be back but not sure if he is physically fit to play.”
Luke Shaw is also a doubt, with the left-back’s wife giving birth to their second child on Friday.
Jadon Sancho and Phil Jones will also miss out.

Ralf: ten Hag must fix Utd spirit
Ralf Rangnick will hand over Old Trafford control to incoming boss Erik ten Hag with the warning: Fix the club’s spirit.
United will finish only sixth or seventh in the Prem after another inconsistent season, blighted by defensive failings and question marks over their unity.
And damningly, interim chief Rangnick believes the biggest problem could be the morale of the whole squad.
Ten Hag is expected to undertake a huge shake-up on and perhaps off the field when he arrives from Ajax over the summer.
No more D’Mani Utd
Manchester United Under-23s striker D’Mani Mellor is leaving the club this summer.
He said on Instagram: “The end of my first chapter in football. Making a debut for Man Utd is something that only a small number of people have the honour to say that they have achieved.
“I’ve been extremely fortunate to represent this club for over 10 years. There are so many people that I have to thank for their support along the way. Many have become my closest friends throughout my time here.
“I’ll always be connected with this amazing club.
“Now, a new chapter starts. I’m ready for that next step and I’m excited to show everyone what I can do.”
Pogba made City U-turn
Paul Pogba agreed a controversial transfer to local rivals Manchester City but made a dramatic U-turn amid fears of fan backlash, according to reports.
Pogba had even agreed personal terms with City ahead of a potential move, according to The Times.
But the Frenchman is said to have then turned down a move across town from Old Trafford to the Etihad.
Pogba is claimed to have been concerned by the potential backlash he would inevitably have faced from the United faithful.
The Times go on to report Pogba reckoned life in Manchester would have become “unbearable” if he made the high-profile switch to United’s bitter rivals.
Ten Hag told not to be Rash
Erik Ten Hag is being urged to keep faith with out-of-form Marcus Rashford, writes Neil Custis.
The new Manchester United boss needs convincing that the misfiring 24-year-old forward should be part of his plans next season.
Ten Hag, who was pictured with agent Kees Vos leaving the club’s London HQ last night, has been discussing recruitment plans and wants a new striker to complement Cristiano Ronaldo.

But staff at the club are convinced that Rashford still has a bright future, despite his disappointing season.
Interim manager Ralf Rangnick has been at pains to emphasise how good Rashford is in training — but remains at a loss as to why he cannot transfer that form to match days.
This season has seen his worst scoring return since breaking into the first team back in 2015-16.
United staff hope Dutchman Ten Hag can get him firing again and want the ex-Ajax boss to give him a shot.
Jose’s United jibe
Jose Mourinho was axed by the Red Devils in December 2018 after overseeing what was at the time their worst start to a league season in 28 years.
Mourinho, 59, has failed to guide his new side into Italy’s top four, but will take part in the inaugural Europa Conference League final.
Ahead of Europe’s third-tier competition’s showpiece event against Feyenoord in Tirana, Mourinho has been discussing the fortunes of some of the continent’s older managers, including Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti.
He couldn’t resist taking a dig at United and Spurs, hinting that they are clubs that no longer expect their managers to win trophies.
Mourinho said: “I believe that the problem with Carlo Ancelotti was that when you coach Everton you are not about to win the Champions League.
“And with me, you know, people they saw me taking up jobs where they thought that I could win trophies but they were not jobs where we were expected to lift trophies.”
Charlie Savage signs extension with United
Robbie Savage is delighted that his son Charlie was given a new long-term deal with Man United.
Robbie said after his 19-year-son was handed the extension: “”So proud, thank you to everyone involved.
“Huge thank you to Chris and Jake at new era.”

Dybala rules out move to United
Soon-to-be free agent Paulo Dybala has reportedly ruled out a move to England as he closes in on a transfer to Inter Milan, writes Joshua Mbu.
Dybala is set to depart Juventus after spending seven years of his club career there.
The Argentine is attracting interest from a host of Europe’s top clubs, with the likes of Inter Milan, Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and Roma all interested.
Manchester United and Tottenham, who have both been long-term admirers of the forward are also keen on exploring a possible deal.

But according to AS, a move to the Premier League is off the cards with Dybala’s “own environment” ruling out the proposal.
This is despite Fabio Paratici, who orchestrated Dybala’s move to Juve, now working for the North London club.
It looks like Dybala’s preference is to stay in Italy.
Journalist Nicolo Schira is reporting that the 28-year-old is closing in on a move to Inter.
Man United scrap awards
Man United have reportedly CANCELLED their end of season awards ceremony after a request from the players.
The Red Devils will post their worst-ever Premier League points tally regardless of Sunday’s result at Crystal Palace.
And their shocking season meant United stars were too embarrassed for the awards night to go ahead, according to the Mirror.
Each year the club host a glitzy end-of-season do to recognise the best performers over the course of the season from both the first-team and the academy.
The black-tie event held at Old Trafford has occupied a regular spot on the calendar during the final two weeks of the season for the last 10 years.
But despite Covid-19 cancelling the last two editions, the players were not keen on the night going ahead this year.
Mbappe to announce his future in ‘The Decision II’
Kylian Mbappe will reportedly announce his eagerly-anticipated next move this weekend, writes Chisanga Malata.
The coveted Mbappe has remained tight-lipped on his next move but will reportedly break his silence on his future on Sunday.
That’s according to L’Equipe, who claim the World Cup winner will spill the beans at 10am BST.
Mbappe’s planned announcement has drawn comparisons to LeBron James’ announcing of his 2012 move to the Miami Heat.
The future NBA Hall of Famer kept basketball fans on tenterhooks with an hour-and-half-long show – which was fittingly named ‘The Decision’.
He eventually announced his departure from the Cleveland Cavaliers but returned to lift a championship with them in 2016.
Man United close in on Timber
Man United appear to be on the verge of closing in on the signing of Ajax defender Jurrien Timber.
Incoming Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag has been linked with bringing one of his current top stars with him to Old Trafford.
Now the Netherlands centre-half looks set to complete the move to the Premier League.
The 20-year-old star is represented by Forza Sports Group.
And the company has sparked speculation a transfer is imminent by seemingly dropping a big hint online.
They posted a clip on social media of an airport and captioned it with: “Deal closing time…”

Ten Hag in town
Erik ten Hag has been spotted leaving the Man United’s London office ahead of taking charge – appearing set to attend United’s final game of the season.
He arrived in London on a private jet on Wednesday with assistant Mitchell van der Gaag.
The duo had previously been working for the Red Devils remotely, so as not to distract from Ralf Rangnick’s preparations for United’s final game of the season against Crystal Palace.
But the soon-to-be manager did visit United’s southern office in the West End to meet up with his new bosses.
A photo showed Ten Hag, dressed in a light suit with a blue shirt, in the back seat of a motor departing the premises alongside his agent Kees Vos.

Youngster leaves Man United

Good morning Man United fans
Erik Ten Hag has arrived in London on a private jet and could attend Manchester United’s final game of the season.
The Dutchman flew in on Wednesday afternoon alongside assistant Mitchell van der Gaag.
The duo had previously been working for the Red Devils remotely, so as not to distract from Ralf Rangnick’s preparations for United’s final game of the season against Crystal Palace.
According to the Mail, Ten Hag and Van der Gaag could be in attendance at Selhurst Park to watch their new side in action.
Elsewhere, Juventus have reportedly offered Paul Pogba £120,000-a-week wages to re-join them this summer.
Goal claims Juventus have a three-year contract on the table for Pogba, 29 – despite the Italians claiming they have a “gentleman’s agreement” to talk with United first.
Meanwhile, United goalkeeper Dean Henderson is “closing in on a move” to Newcastle United.
The Manchester Evening News claim that Henderson, 25, was in Newcastle for talks on Wednesday.
Discussions have been held over a loan deal but a permanent move has “not been ruled out”.
In other news, United defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka will be allowed to leave permanently or on loan, report Sky Sports.
Finally, Man United appear to be on the verge of closing in on the signing of Ajax defender Jurrien Timber.
The 20-year-old star is represented by Forza Sports Group.

They posted a clip on social media of an airport and captioned it with: “Deal closing time…”
Koulibaly speaks on Napoli future
Man United transfer target Kalidou Koulibaly has opened up on his Napoli future.
Koulibaly told Onze Mondial: “I would not cause an argument to leave the club. If I ever did leave Napoli, I would do it on my terms.
“There would be no argument and I would speak to the president. He tries to listen to the fans who don’t want me go and every time has asked for a fee that was too high.”
Newcastle and Man City have also been linked with the defender.
Nunez ‘snubs’ Man United
Darwin Nunez has reportedly rejected an approach from Manchester United to sign him from Benfica.
Arsenal and Newcastle have both been linked along with the Red Devils in making a move.
And French giants Paris Saint-Germain are also keen on Nunez.
Now RMC Sport have offered an update on his situation, claiming that United have informed the star’s camp that they would be willing to pay £67.8million for him.
However, it states that Nunez has refused United’s approach.
He wants to sign for a club that will be competing in the Champions League next season – with United only able to qualify for the Europa League at best.
Pogba made City U-turn
Paul Pogba agreed a controversial transfer to Manchester City but made a dramatic U-turn amid fears of fan backlash, according to reports.

Matic: We’re doing our best
Nemanja Matic has told Man United fans that the players are doing their best despite going through a rough patch.
Matic said whilst pleading for fans the carry on supporting the club: “I know that we have had a couple of difficult seasons but I just want the fans to know that, at the training ground, we’re doing our best, and United will come back, for sure.”
But the midfielder who is leaving United this summer insisted United will be back on top one day.
He added: “It’s going to take some time but United will be back. Keep supporting the team. Stay together.”
Beckham speaks on Real Madrid number
David Beckham has revealed he became Real Madrid No 23 shirt to honour Michael Jordan – as he knew he couldn’t have Raul’s No7 top.
The midfielder had to ditch the No7 he’d worn so iconically for the Red Devils and continued to don as England skipper in earning 115 caps.
But he was delighted to instead pay homage to his ‘inspiration Jordan.
He told a Complex store video: “The Number 7 was worn by Raul, the captain, the God of Real Madrid, so I was never going to get the No7.
“So they said, ‘OK, these numbers are available’. I said, ‘well, 23, it has to be 23’. 
“I’ve always been a fan of Jordan, but I think there are so many cultures that have been inspired by him, his game. 
“And as you see it now – the world is inspired by him.”
Elanga on United atmposhere

McClaren will be a good coach
Steve McClaren will be a good coach at Man United although he wasn’t a great manager, Paul Parker claims.
Parker told indiabetting.co.in: “Steve McClaren is a very good coach. As a manager, he wasn’t successful.
“There are people who can coach and people who can manage. And there are only a few managers that we can talk about doing both, and who have done that and have been deemed as great managers.
“Steve McClaren worked at United for a number of years so he’s got a basic idea of what may be needed.
“Manchester United have to move on as a club from top to bottom from what they are doing and it can’t be the same things that made them into the club they are, they have to move a little bit with the times.
“At the moment, Manchester United haven’t been adapting, they’ve been living in this world like the way it used to be.”
How Ten Hag should treat players
Erik ten Hag needs to treat all Man United players the same, Paul Parker claims.
He told indiabetting.co.in: “I think someone who comes in and just talks and doesn’t stutter and does not make eye contact. I would imagine, he knows all that stuff, it’s all the part of management. Hopefully, he is going to be a manager and not just a head coach.”
“Not someone who’s gonna walk in and start looking around and going “well, he’s earned that much money, he’s earned that much money,” and you think: Oh, I can’t have a go at him because he sells so many shirts and he’s got so many followers on Instagram.”
“Go in there, everyone is in exactly the same boat and you treat all of them the same, nothing different, and that’s the bit that I would be looking for.”
What Ten Hag needs to do
Erik ten Hag needs to stamp his authority at Man United immediately, according to Paul Parker.
Parker told indiabetting.co.in: “I think it’s the same thing for any job really, establishing authority. You know, you walk in your first day into any job, I mean, it’s gonna be difficult.
“The first thing; your first team talk, your first group talk, your squad talk, that’s your most important one. It is the one that makes you or breaks you. It Is the one where anybody who will have a bad attitude will be looking for an excuse to dig into him. He’s got to let everyone know, that he’s not gonna suffer any problems.
“It’s as simple as that. He’s come across there. His reputation is at stake as well. You know he’s a well-known man in his own country. He’s managed a very successful club, a big club, a renowned club and he surely hasn’t gone to Manchester United to ruin all that.”
“He’s in a position now, where it’s gonna make him or break him. That’s what Manchester United has done to the previous four or five managers, I’ve lost count now. So, he’s got to go in there and do something different to all of them.
“If he hasn’t been given the license to do it, just grab it. Just grab it now and just say I’m gonna take it and if you don’t like it get rid of me. He can’t have people messing him about. He can’t have people who are not going to give him a hundred per cent.”
Juventus plan Prem raid
Juventus chief Federico Cherubini has reportedly arrived in London as he looks to secure a deal for Chelsea’s Jorginho.
The Italian giants appear to have won the race to sign Manchester United’s Paul Pogba on a free transfer when the Frenchman’s contract expires next month.
And the 29-year-old could be lining-up alongside Jorginho when he returns to Turin next term.
Todd Boehly’s consortium hope to complete their takeover of Chelsea by the end of the month, which will finally allow them to get back in the game transfer wise.
However, a big-name departure could be the first topic of conversation, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.
 They state that Juventus have made Italy international midfielder Jorginho, 30, one of their top targets and have now begun their attempt to get him.
Charlie Savage signs long-term deal
Charlie Savage has signed a long-term contract with Man United.
Robbie Savage’s son said on Instagram after penning the deal: “Great way to end an amazing season. Delighted to sign a long-term contract with this special club.
“Thank you to my family for their support, without them this would never have been possible.
“Also, a big shoutout to the @neweraglobalsports team for help making this happen, especially to Jake, Chris and Rio.
“Time for a short break before going again and giving everything to keep pushing forward.”
Wan-Bissaka allowed to leave Man Utd, say reports
Aaron Wan-Bissaka will be allowed to leave permanently or on loan, report Sky Sports.
Wan-Bissaka, 24, has endured a difficult campaign at Old Trafford.
The full-back has started only 25 games with Diogo Dalot being preferred of late.
SunSport exclusively revealed last week that ex-United manager Jose Mourinho is keen on Wan-Bissaka for Roma.
Crystal Palace, who sold Wan-Bissaka to United for £50million in 2019, would be open to re-signing him.
The full-back is also drawing admiring glances from Spanish giants Atletico Madrid.
Dean Henderson in Newcastle to discuss move
Manchester United goalkeeper Dean Henderson is “closing in on a move” to Newcastle United.

Discussions have been held over a loan deal but a permanent move has “not been ruled out”.
Van der Gaag and McClaren to be part of coaching staff, say reports
Erik ten Hag is claimed to want Mitchell Van der Gaag as his assistant at Old Trafford.
Van Der Gaag is likely to be the man tasked with helping Ten Hag salvage the sinking ship at Manchester United as his No2.
And reports say that Steve McClaren will also be re-joining the club.
Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano tweeted: “Mitchell van der Gaag and Steve McClaren will be part of new Man Utd coaching staff, confirmed.
“Full agreement at final stages and set to be signed with both of them.
“#MUFC Official statement for McClaren to join United could be next week, as @MrStephenHowson reports.”
United’s transfer struggles
Former Man United star Teddy Sheringham reckons the Red Devils have fallen down the pecking order as a destination for big players.
Sheringham made the claims whilst discussing United’s interest in Harry Kane.
The former England striker told Genting Casino: “Manchester United are falling down the pecking order for big players, but having said that, they are still a massive club, they’re still a massive draw.
“If they do come calling, it’ll be hard to turn them down. Even if they’re not in any European competitions next season, it would still be a very tough thing to say no to Manchester United.”
United should sell Henderson, says Paul Parker
Ex-England international Paul Parker said that Dean Henderson will refuse to sit on the bench again all season.

In a chat with indiabetting.co.in, the former United defender was asked whether Man Utd should sell Dean Henderson to rivals Newcastle.
Parker said: “I personally do.
“Give him the opportunity and go and prove it. You can prove it at Newcastle with the pressure on him from their fans.
“If he’s got an opportunity to play regular football, he’s gonna want it.
“He’s not gonna be sitting down, his ego is not allowing him.”
Pogba to re-join Juve, say reports
Juventus have reportedly offered Paul Pogba £120,000-a-week wages to re-join them this summer, writes Anthony Chapman.
But the Manchester United exile could scupper a free transfer as he seeks a higher salary from his former side.
Goal claims Juventus have a three-year contract on the table for Pogba, 29 – despite the Italians claiming they have a “gentleman’s agreement” to talk with United first.

The midfielder spent four years in Turin between 2012 and 2016, winning four titles and two Italian Cups.
And fallen giants Juve, guaranteed to finish fourth on Saturday, want Pogba 2.0 to resurrect their Serie A ambitions next term.
However, issues remain over the Frenchman’s wage demands.
Ronaldo still has key role at Man Utd, says Winterburn
Cristiano Ronaldo will still offer huge value to Manchester United next season, claims Nigel Winterburn.
The Arsenal legend would be stunned to see Ronaldo leave the Red Devils after just one year back at Old Trafford, writes Etienne Fermie.
Ronaldo, 37, has been linked with a summer exit amid uncertainty over his role under incoming boss Erik ten Hag.

Winterburn, 58, told Paddy Power: “Manchester United won’t just bring Cristiano Ronaldo in for one season and ship him out so quickly, it just won’t happen.
“He still offers huge value to Manchester United, and we’ve seen that in his goalscoring record. His age is but a number.
“He has huge experience, and he could play an important role if United opt to go down the younger route in setting an example of how to train and play, as well as what it means to win and lose.
“He can help those younger players around the training ground and if he can accept that, he might be used in a slightly different way and have less game time.
“It doesn’t surprise me that he’s still there. If you have someone of his quality, you have to use them and use them in the right system.
“I believe there’s a role for him to play next season at United, he’s a superstar.”
