      With so much to do to sort out the shambles at Old Trafford, the 52-year-old wants to get going as quickly as possible.
      He said: “Tomorrow there will be a party with the staff, but I am not going to Curacao.
      “I think that’s understandable. There is a lot of work to do there. That is the case with every club.

      It was Wolves’ last home game of the Premier League season.
      And with nothing left to play for, supporters decided to sing the praises of star man Neves, 25 – who is tipped for a big-money exit.
      SunSport revealed last month that Erik ten Hag has made the Portuguese playmaker one of his top targets at United.
      Arsenal and Barcelona are also thought to be interested.

      And Wolves fans vowed to cause a scene if Chinese owners Fosun decide to sell Neves after five years of loyal service.
      Home supporters were heard singing after 30 minutes: “Don’t sell Neves, Ruben Neves, I just don’t think you understand.
      “If you sell Neves, Ruben Neves, you’ll have riots on your hands.”
      Whether the threats affect any potential transfer for Neves remains to be seen.

      Wolves have previously shown they are open to departures of key men, with the likes of Diogo Jota, Matt Doherty, Rui Patricio and Adama Traore all shown the door in recent years.
      The Midlands side value Neves at £40million, who is out of contract in 2024.
      And the player himself has expressed a strong desire to play in the Champions League.
      United will finish outside the top four this season, but Ten Hag is sure to be targeting a return to Europe’s elite competition in 2023.
      Neves has been at Wolves since 2017 after a £16m switch from Porto.
      And he became a cult hero after immediately inspiring the club back to England’s top flight.
      NEVER SAY NEVES
      Even so, Wolves boss Bruno Lage remains hopeful he can convince Neves to stay for at least one more year.
      Lage said: “We need to wait for an offer, we don’t have anything.
      “We need to wait for an offer and understand what (will) really happen. What is good for the club, good for the player.
      “For me, it is clear, if I want to work with Ruben, yes. If you ask the player if he wants to work for me, for sure he will say yes.

      “We can prepare the best strategy, for what we want, that is the best players on the pitch.

      Man Utd winger Jadon Sancho is hopeful for a fresh under a new boss.
      Next season Erik ten Hag comes in at Old Trafford, and Sancho is hoping to pick up his form after a difficult first season at the club.
      “To start again fresh, with a new manager coming in, we’re looking forward to seeing what his ideas and plans for the team are. You only have to think positively,” he said.
      “My career is only getting started and, hopefully, it will take off soon. This has been a difficult season, especially being a Manchester United player, with what the club has achieved over the years.
      “United is known for winning trophies and being up there with the best. This season has been a difficult one for all of us, but I think we still have to show belief again.”
      Eriksen wants Champions League football
      Christian Eriksen has revealed that he would like to play in the Champions League again amid transfer interest from Man United and Tottenham.
      Speaking to Viaplay, Eriksen said: “I do not think that there are some football players who can just pick and choose between clubs, because there are many criteria that come into play. There are also many clubs that need to see one’s path before that happens.
      “I have different offers and options, which we are considering, and then we make a decision.
      “I would love to play Champions League football again. I know how much fun it is, but it isn’t essential for me.”
      Cristiano Ronaldo’s golf session
      Cristiano Ronaldo has taken a break from football to play golf.
      Man United play their next game against Crystal Palace next week.
      And the United forward has started preparation for the game by indulging in a spot of golf in Chesire.

      Vidic names toughest opponents
      Man United legend Nemanja Vidic has named the four toughest opponents he faced in the Premier League.
      Peter Crouch was the first Liverpool striker Vidic bemoaned facing.
      Vidic also mentioned Chelsea great Didier Drogba and his lethal combination of strength and intelligence.
      Vidic’s watchlist finished with Manchester City legend Sergio Aguero and former Reds star Luis Suarez.
      Vidic made the admissions to The Athletic.

      Ten Hag wants Kante
      Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has been linked with a sensational swoop for N’Golo Kante this summer in a bid to bolster his midfield options next season.
      According to The Mirror, chiefs at Manchester United, including Ten Hag, believe a swoop for Kante is a realistic proposition.
      The news comes after SunSport exclusively revealed that the Blues were fearing Kante would be one of a number of players on their way out of the club.
      Juventus’ Poga contract offer revealed
      Juventus have reportedly prepared an offer to try and recruit Paul Pogba.
      Juve won’t be able to match the wages Pogba currently receives at Man United.
      The Serie A giants hope Juventus have prepared a contract worth £6.3m-a-season will be enough to convince Pogba to make the switch, according to Football Italia.
      And the offer will also include various add-ons that could see the midfielder’s wages rise to double figures, the report adds.
      Dwight Yorke gets manager role
      Dwight Yorke has been named manager of A-League side Macarthur FC.
      It is the Manchester United legend’s first managerial job after signing a two-year deal with the Australian side.
      The 50-year-old said: “I am extremely excited in what is my first-ever senior full-time Head Coaching role, to take the reins at Macarthur FC.
      “Having played in the inaugural A-League men’s season, I have continually followed the competition, and am aware of both the footballing and fan demands in Australia.
      “I look forward to adding a positive contribution and improve the game at all levels, however of course my primary focus will be with the Bulls, to deliver them success and a style of football that defined me as a player.”
      Keane’s disdain for Fabregas
      Roy Keane once threatened to ‘smash Cesc Fabregas in’ when the midfielder clattered into him.
      Fabregas risked Keane’s wrath after tackling the Irishman really hard when Arsenal played Man United in the FA Cup final.
      Keane let Gerard Pique know just how close Fabregas was to a beating a few years later.
      Fabregas recalled to The Times: “I tackled Roy Keane really hard and I felt really good about it because he was always giving me a tough time.
      “A few years later, Gerard Pique [his friend from Barcelona’s La Masia academy] said to me that at half-time Keane said, ‘That Spanish friend of yours, I will smash him, he killed me.’”
      Juventus close in on Pogba
      Paul Pogba is set to hold talks with Juventus this week over a summer move.
      However, Juve aren’t willing to pay Pogba the rumoured £9.3m he receives annually at Man United.
      But the Serie A giants hope to haggle him down when his representatives meet with the club in the coming days, according to Goal, via the Daily Mail.
      Arsenal agree Hickey transfer deal
      Arsenal have reportedly agreed a £21 million transfer fee with Bologna to sign Aaron Hickey.
      Hickey operates mainly for Bologna at left full-back and has attracted interest from the likes of Newcastle, Manchester United and Napoli in the past.
      And now it seems that it is the Gunners that have won the race for the Scotland international’s signature.
      That’s according to CalcioNapoli24.it, who state that a transfer fee of £21m has been agreed between the two clubs.
      They claim that Bologna’s sporting director Riccardo Bigon allegedly flew to London recently for talks with the Gunners.
      And those discussions led to an agreement being made for the player.
      Man United’s part-exchange plan
      Man United are reportedly hoping to use Anthony Martial in a part-exchange deal with Napoli’s Victor Osimhen.
      Napoli have already rejected an offer from the Red Devils for Osimhen.
      But United want to entice Napoli to the negotiation table by adding Martial into the mix as a makeweight, according to CaughtOffside.
      But United also have to fend off interest from Arsenal who are tracking the striker too.
      Former United star’s challenges
      Luke Chadwick has opened up on the challenges he faced while at Man United.
      Chadwick said: “Injuries throughout my younger years took a little bit of pace away and without that, I wasn’t at the level to go on to be a great United player.
      “Playing for Cambridge against United was mad really – it was a great way to end my career.
      “It was amazing going back there. I remember walking off the pitch at Old Trafford to a standing ovation and it meant so much. I didn’t even know that the fans would remember who I was. It was an amazing end to my career.”
      Sancho’s optimistic about Ten Hag
      Jadon Sancho is looking forward to Erik ten Hag’s imminent arrival at Man United.
      He told Premier League Productions, via United’s website: “To start again fresh, with a new manager coming in, we’re looking forward to seeing what his ideas and plans for the team are.
      “You only have to think positively. My career is only getting started and, hopefully, it will take off soon. This has been a difficult season, especially being a Manchester United player, with what the club has achieved over the years.
      “United is known for winning trophies and being up there with the best. This season has been a difficult one for all of us, but I think we still have to show belief again.”
      Ten Hag’s huge mistake
      Erik ten Hag has already made a huge mistake before taking the Man United job by letting Edinson Cavani leave.
      That’s according to West Ham legend Frank McAvennie.
      He told Football Insider: “Well it looks like Cavani is going which is a ludicrous decision.
      “He is an unbelievable striker and he is streets ahead of some of the other attackers there, let me tell you.
      “When he plays, he scores, It’s as simple as that. But for whatever reason, he hasn’t played this season.
      “I know Ten Hag hasn’t even come through the door yet but this looks like mistake number one to me.”
      Ten Hag’s youth plan
      Erik ten Hag reckons he can develop four of Man United’s youngsters when he takes over at the club.
      United’s squad is set for a massive overhaul when Ten Hag takes over this summer.
      But the Dutchman is reportedly intent on keeping hold of Jadon Sancho, Anthony Elanga, Marcus Rashford and Scott McTominay.
      That’s according to The Mirror who imply Ten Hag plans to rebuild his squad around the young quartet.
      De Jong fancies City over Utd
      EXCLUSIVE: Frenkie de Jong is willing to kiss goodbye to nearly £6million in unpaid wages to clinch a move to Manchester City, writes PHIL THOMAS.
      As SunSport revealed, Erik ten Hag wants the Barcelona star at rivals United but City chief Pep Guardiola is also a big fan – missing out three years ago when Barca’s £400,000-a-week after tax was too good for the Dutch star to turn down.

      And while the Etihad money men are not keen on paying out the £65million it cost to take him to the Nou Camp from Ajax in 2019, De Jong’s stance on money he is owed may prove decisive.
      Barca are still fighting their way out of a financial crisis, which saw players defer 40 per cent of wages for a year.
      And midfielder De Jong is still owed a bumper figure, which he could waive to make a move happen. Guardiola is in the market for a midfielder to replace the departing Fernandinho.
      But Barca may request Bernardo Silva or Raheem Sterling as part of any deal. Boss Xavi revealed this week that De Jong remains a key part of his plans.
      But he conceded that the club could still sell the 25-year-old this summer. He said: “For me, he is a very important player.
      Shaw waiting on bumper new £180k-a-week deal 
      EXCLUSIVE: Luke Shaw will be kept waiting on a fresh £180,000-a-week Old Trafford contract until his new manager has given the thumbs up, writes JOSHUA MBU.
      Shaw, 26, has just one more season left on his current deal and so far Manchester United bosses have been in no rush to come up with an extension.

      Instead United insiders insist the club will trigger their 12-month option to keep the left back until 2024.
      And that will give ten Hag the time to make an informed decision on whether the defender can be a part of his longer term plans.
      Shaw has had a stop-start Old Trafford career ever since his £32million signing from Southampton in 2014.
      Sparkling spells have been offset by serious injuries and a battle to win over former boss Jose Mourinho.
      And although he was back to his best last season, Ten Hag wants to assess him properly before committing to a long-term decision.
      United hold a similar view on Brazil midfielder Fred, 29, although they would be more willing to listen to offers this summer at the right price.
      Lew ‘agrees 3-year Barca deal’
      Robert Lewandowski has reportedly agreed a three-year contract with Barcelona.
      The Pole has been linked with a move to the Nou Camp after snubbing a new deal at Bayern Munich.
      He still has a year to run on his existing agreement with the Bundesliga side but they have now confirmed that the forward wants to leave them.
      The Times state that Lewandowski is set to join Barcelona.
      And they report that he has verbally agreed to sign a three-year contract with them.
      Now all that remains is for them to thrash out a transfer fee for him.
      Confirming that Lewandowski, who has scored 49 goals for the club this term, wants to go, Bayern’s sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic told Sky Germany: “I spoke with Lewa.
      “In that discussion he informed me that he does not want to accept our offer to extend the contract and that he would like to leave the club.
      “He said he wants to do something else. But our position has not changed.
      “The fact is he has a contract to June 30, 2023.”
      Signing Frenkie could be a De-saster
      Man United have been urged not to sign Barcelona star Frenkie De Jong.
      The midfielder isn’t the right fit for Man United’s set-up, according to Steve Nicol.
      He said: “If there’s one thing he doesn’t like it’s when there are people scurrying around him, closing him down, and I’m not so sure he’s the greatest at doing it the other way around.
      “So if he goes to Man United, how’s he going to get the ball? Because they don’t have anybody to get him the ball.”
      ‘Utd in Kalidou talks’
      Manchester United have taken a huge step closer to recruiting Kalidou Koulibaly, reports tonight claim.
      Napoli’s Senegal star is expected to be one of this summer’s most wanted centre-back.
      And the latest suggestion is that the Red Devils have made contact with his Serie A club.
      Yet it’s also thought United preferred Raphael Varane at the start of the season, leading to his arrival.

      Muller was close to Utd move
      Bayern Munich star Thomas Muller has revealed he was close to joining Man United when Louis Van Gaal was boss.
      Muller told Merkur: “Bayern clearly rejected the whole thing – despite this insane offer from United.
      “[But it was a] huge vote of confidence from Bayern.”
      Dwight set to boss A-League club
      United icon Dwight Yorke could begin his managerial career with A-League side Macarthur FC.
      The former Manchester United striker, 50, enjoyed a one-year spell in Australia when he signed for Sydney FC in 2005.
      He is now set to return, but this time his role will be off the pitch.
      According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Yorke is in advanced talks with Macarthur, and a two-year deal is on the cards.
      The Man Utd icon gained his coaching badges with the Red Devils who have helped kickstart his new career by recommending him to the Bulls.
      Yorke will have a preview into life as a manager when he takes charge of the A-League Allstars for their upcoming game against Barcelona.
      When speaking to ESPN ahead of the event, he said: “I’m announcing to the world – with the [APL] and Danny [Townsend, the APL’s managing director] giving me that opportunity – that I’m finally qualified and ready for a leading role.
      “I think that will make some headlines. And then if there is an opportunity that does present itself then I have to look at it.”
      Rangnick idea to ‘elect a Utd skipper’ blasted
      United legend Andy Cole has blasted Ralf Rangnick’s idea that the captain should be “elected” by the players amid Harry Maguire’s poor form this season.
      The Red Devils have endured a turbulent campaign.

      From the sacking of legend Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, extending their trophy drought to over five years and missing out on a top-four finish. And things could yet get worse as United could find themselves playing Europa Conference League football next term.
      David Moyes’ West Ham could do the unlikely and beat Premier League table toppers Manchester City on Sunday to draw level on points with United and edge them out to sixth-place on goal difference.
      But one of the main talking points this season has been club captain Maguire’s leadership and form. The England international has become a lightning rod for criticism and has faced calls for him to be stripped of the captaincy and dropped from the starting eleven.
      And interim manager Rangnick expressed last month that he “strongly” believes the captain should be elected by the team and not installed by the manager.
      Leaked photos of ‘Ronaldo in United 2022-23 kit’
      Leaked photos allegedly show Cristiano Ronaldo posing in Manchester United’s new kit for next season – boosting hopes he’s staying.
      United cannot wait for the current campaign to end as they struggle to finish in the top six and reports of two players being pulled apart for fighting this week in training.

      The club are about to enter a new era with Erik ten Hag due to take charge after agreeing a deal to join them from Ajax.
      And now the shirts that the Dutchman’s stars will be wearing under him have been revealed by the United Stand.
      Snaps have gone viral showing the new red Adidas jersey, which appears to have taken inspiration from their 1998/99 treble winning season.
      Sporting a white collar, it includes the famous Adidas three stripes down the arms with the manufacturing company’s logo on the right breast, and United’s badge on the opposite side.
      Lew ‘agrees 3-year Barca deal’
      Robert Lewandowski has reportedly agreed a three-year contract with Barcelona.
      The Pole has been linked with a move to the Nou Camp after snubbing a new deal at Bayern Munich.
      He still has a year to run on his existing agreement with the Bundesliga side but they have now confirmed that the forward wants to leave them.
      The Times state that Lewandowski is set to join Barcelona.
      And they report that he has verbally agreed to sign a three-year contract with them.
      Now all that remains is for them to thrash out a transfer fee for him.

      How Man Utd could line up with N’Golo Kante and Paulo Dybala as Ten Hag plots summer overhaul with major transfers

      by

      ERIK TEN HAG is planning a summer rebuild at Manchester United which could include the arrivals of Paulo Dybala and N’Golo Kante.Dybala, 28, is out of contract at Juventus in the summer and looks set to leave with Inter Milan keen on his signing.

      United could also take advantage of Kante’s contract situation – he has a year remaining on his deal and Chelsea could look to cash in rather than risk losing him for nothing, as has happened with Antonio Rudiger.
      The Red Devils are believed to be scouring the free agent market in the hope of picking up a bargain.
      Christian Eriksen and Franck Kessie have been linked as options to bolster the midfield while right-back Noussair Mazraoui could be plucked from Ajax.

wants Kante transfer, Cristiano Ronaldo pictured in 2022/23 kit leak
      The Dutchman is also said to be keen on reuniting with Mattijs de Ligt, who could take Harry Maguire’s place in the starting line-up if he arrives.
      But signing another former Ajax star, Frenkie de Jong, could prove more tricky with Manchester City entering the race to sign the Barcelona star.
      That means United could focus their attention on Kante or long-term targets Ruben Neves and Kalvin Phillips to upgrade their midfield.
      Dybala could also be heading to Old Trafford after the Argentine’s agent landed in London to hold talks with Premier League clubs.

      Nemanja Vidic reveals best four Premier League strikers he faced at Man Utd, including Peter Crouch at Liverpool

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED legend Nemanja Vidic has named the four toughest opponents he faced in the Premier League.The Serbian powerhouse, 40, spent eight years at Old Trafford after arriving from Spartak Moscow in 2006.
      Vidic has called Crouch one of his toughest-ever opponents
      And despite being overrun several times by Fernando Torres, Peter Crouch was the first Liverpool striker Vidic bemoaned facing.
      He told The Athletic: “My first experience was Peter Crouch.
      “I’d never seen a two-metres tall player before. He played for Liverpool and we played them in a cup game at Anfield.
      “I was thinking ‘Wow, what can I do today with this guy?’
      “Then I saw Bellamy next to him, not a great player on the ball but very, very fast. He would run into space, Crouch would jump into the air. I’d never seen football played like this.
      “I’d never had a No9 and a sharp, fast, player next to him. I knew how to deal with them individually but not both of them at the same time.
      “I played alongside Wes Brown, it was a tough game, a long game. We lost 1-0.”
      Vidic also mentioned Chelsea great Didier Drogba and his lethal combination of strength and intelligence.

      He added: “He was a very clever player who would get into the brain of the defenders. He was strong, but he was always thinking ahead.
      “He would think, ‘If the defender pushes me now I will go down’ or ‘Next time I will go strong’
      “He scored so many important goals, he was very consistent. I played against him when we were both at the peak of our careers.”
      Vidic’s watchlist finished with Manchester City legend Sergio Aguero and former Reds star Luis Suarez.
      He explained: “I’m convinced that Aguero was born as a defender. He knows where the ball will come and where he can attack.
      “I played against him when they beat us 4-1 in the Moyes season.

      But in more positive news, photo’s of Cristiano Ronaldo in the Manchester United kit for the 2022/23 have been leaked.
      Which would imply that the Portuguese icon is set to stay at Old Trafford for another season.
      And the Red Devils have reportedly set their sights on Reims starlet Hugo Ekitike.

      De Jong fancies City over Utd
      EXCLUSIVE: Frenkie de Jong is willing to kiss goodbye to nearly £6million in unpaid wages to clinch a move to Manchester City, writes PHIL THOMAS.
      As SunSport revealed, Erik ten Hag wants the Barcelona star at rivals United but City chief Pep Guardiola is also a big fan – missing out three years ago when Barca’s £400,000-a-week after tax was too good for the Dutch star to turn down.

      And while the Etihad money men are not keen on paying out the £65million it cost to take him to the Nou Camp from Ajax in 2019, De Jong’s stance on money he is owed may prove decisive.
      Barca are still fighting their way out of a financial crisis, which saw players defer 40 per cent of wages for a year.
      And midfielder De Jong is still owed a bumper figure, which he could waive to make a move happen. Guardiola is in the market for a midfielder to replace the departing Fernandinho.
      But Barca may request Bernardo Silva or Raheem Sterling as part of any deal. Boss Xavi revealed this week that De Jong remains a key part of his plans.
      But he conceded that the club could still sell the 25-year-old this summer. He said: “For me, he is a very important player.
      Shaw waiting on bumper new £180k-a-week deal 
      EXCLUSIVE: Luke Shaw will be kept waiting on a fresh £180,000-a-week Old Trafford contract until his new manager has given the thumbs up, writes JOSHUA MBU.
      Shaw, 26, has just one more season left on his current deal and so far Manchester United bosses have been in no rush to come up with an extension.

      Instead United insiders insist the club will trigger their 12-month option to keep the left back until 2024.
      And that will give ten Hag the time to make an informed decision on whether the defender can be a part of his longer term plans.
      Shaw has had a stop-start Old Trafford career ever since his £32million signing from Southampton in 2014.
      Sparkling spells have been offset by serious injuries and a battle to win over former boss Jose Mourinho.
      And although he was back to his best last season, Ten Hag wants to assess him properly before committing to a long-term decision.
      United hold a similar view on Brazil midfielder Fred, 29, although they would be more willing to listen to offers this summer at the right price.
      Lew ‘agrees 3-year Barca deal’
      Robert Lewandowski has reportedly agreed a three-year contract with Barcelona.
      The Pole has been linked with a move to the Nou Camp after snubbing a new deal at Bayern Munich.
      He still has a year to run on his existing agreement with the Bundesliga side but they have now confirmed that the forward wants to leave them.
      The Times state that Lewandowski is set to join Barcelona.
      And they report that he has verbally agreed to sign a three-year contract with them.
      Now all that remains is for them to thrash out a transfer fee for him.
      Confirming that Lewandowski, who has scored 49 goals for the club this term, wants to go, Bayern’s sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic told Sky Germany: “I spoke with Lewa.
      “In that discussion he informed me that he does not want to accept our offer to extend the contract and that he would like to leave the club.
      “He said he wants to do something else. But our position has not changed.
      “The fact is he has a contract to June 30, 2023.”
      Signing Frenkie could be a De-saster
      Man United have been urged not to sign Barcelona star Frenkie De Jong.
      The midfielder isn’t the right fit for Man United’s set-up, according to Steve Nicol.
      He said: “If there’s one thing he doesn’t like it’s when there are people scurrying around him, closing him down, and I’m not so sure he’s the greatest at doing it the other way around.
      “So if he goes to Man United, how’s he going to get the ball? Because they don’t have anybody to get him the ball.”
      ‘Utd in Kalidou talks’
      Manchester United have taken a huge step closer to recruiting Kalidou Koulibaly, reports tonight claim.
      Napoli’s Senegal star is expected to be one of this summer’s most wanted centre-back.
      And the latest suggestion is that the Red Devils have made contact with his Serie A club.
      Yet it’s also thought United preferred Raphael Varane at the start of the season, leading to his arrival.

      Muller was close to Utd move
      Bayern Munich star Thomas Muller has revealed he was close to joining Man United when Louis Van Gaal was boss.
      Muller told Merkur: “Bayern clearly rejected the whole thing – despite this insane offer from United.
      “[But it was a] huge vote of confidence from Bayern.”
      Dwight set to boss A-League club
      United icon Dwight Yorke could begin his managerial career with A-League side Macarthur FC.
      The former Manchester United striker, 50, enjoyed a one-year spell in Australia when he signed for Sydney FC in 2005.
      He is now set to return, but this time his role will be off the pitch.
      According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Yorke is in advanced talks with Macarthur, and a two-year deal is on the cards.
      The Man Utd icon gained his coaching badges with the Red Devils who have helped kickstart his new career by recommending him to the Bulls.
      Yorke will have a preview into life as a manager when he takes charge of the A-League Allstars for their upcoming game against Barcelona.
      When speaking to ESPN ahead of the event, he said: “I’m announcing to the world – with the [APL] and Danny [Townsend, the APL’s managing director] giving me that opportunity – that I’m finally qualified and ready for a leading role.
      “I think that will make some headlines. And then if there is an opportunity that does present itself then I have to look at it.”
      Rangnick idea to ‘elect a Utd skipper’ blasted
      United legend Andy Cole has blasted Ralf Rangnick’s idea that the captain should be “elected” by the players amid Harry Maguire’s poor form this season.
      The Red Devils have endured a turbulent campaign.

      From the sacking of legend Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, extending their trophy drought to over five years and missing out on a top-four finish. And things could yet get worse as United could find themselves playing Europa Conference League football next term.
      David Moyes’ West Ham could do the unlikely and beat Premier League table toppers Manchester City on Sunday to draw level on points with United and edge them out to sixth-place on goal difference.
      But one of the main talking points this season has been club captain Maguire’s leadership and form. The England international has become a lightning rod for criticism and has faced calls for him to be stripped of the captaincy and dropped from the starting eleven.
      And interim manager Rangnick expressed last month that he “strongly” believes the captain should be elected by the team and not installed by the manager.
      Leaked photos of ‘Ronaldo in United 2022-23 kit’
      Leaked photos allegedly show Cristiano Ronaldo posing in Manchester United’s new kit for next season – boosting hopes he’s staying.
      United cannot wait for the current campaign to end as they struggle to finish in the top six and reports of two players being pulled apart for fighting this week in training.

      The club are about to enter a new era with Erik ten Hag due to take charge after agreeing a deal to join them from Ajax.
      And now the shirts that the Dutchman’s stars will be wearing under him have been revealed by the United Stand.
      Snaps have gone viral showing the new red Adidas jersey, which appears to have taken inspiration from their 1998/99 treble winning season.
      Sporting a white collar, it includes the famous Adidas three stripes down the arms with the manufacturing company’s logo on the right breast, and United’s badge on the opposite side.
      Lew ‘agrees 3-year Barca deal’
      Robert Lewandowski has reportedly agreed a three-year contract with Barcelona.
      The Pole has been linked with a move to the Nou Camp after snubbing a new deal at Bayern Munich.
      He still has a year to run on his existing agreement with the Bundesliga side but they have now confirmed that the forward wants to leave them.
      The Times state that Lewandowski is set to join Barcelona.
      And they report that he has verbally agreed to sign a three-year contract with them.
      Now all that remains is for them to thrash out a transfer fee for him.
      Confirming that Lewandowski, who has scored 49 goals for the club this term, wants to go, Bayern’s sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic told Sky Germany: “I spoke with Lewa.
      “In that discussion he informed me that he does not want to accept our offer to extend the contract and that he would like to leave the club.
      “He said he wants to do something else. But our position has not changed.
      “The fact is he has a contract to June 30, 2023.”
      Toon head Utd and Chelsea in Ekitike race
      Newcastle are closing in on Chelsea and Manchester United target Hugo Ekitike.
      90min say the Toon believe they can soon complete a deal for the Reims striker, 19.
      It’s claimed Newcastle wee hovering for Ekitike in January and that negotiations have continued.
      The teenager is enjoying a breakthrough season, with Reims 12th in Ligue 1.
      Red Devils look stern in training
      United’s under-fire players are putting in the extra hours in the training pitch today due to their extra-long break.
      Ralf Rangnick’s men are without a game until ending the season at Crystal Palace on Sunday, March 22.

      And judging on the snaps below, the Red Devils didn’t seem too happy.
      Portugal superstars Cristiano Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes, in particular, looked deep in thought.
      Maybe they are thinking about the fact Erik Ten Hag is tipped to be at Selhurst Park to watch them for the first time as incoming permanent boss.

      Prem giants battle Barca for Lewandowski
      Robert Lewandowski wants to leave Bayern Munich this summer, the Bundesliga giants have confirmed.
      The Pole has been linked with a move to Barcelona, having snubbed a new deal at Bayern.
      Lewandowski’s deal has one year left to run.

      Bayern sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic told Sky Germany: “I spoke with Lewa.
      “In that discussion he informed me that he does not want to accept our offer to extend the contract and that he would like to leave the club.
      “He said he wants to do something else. But our position has not changed.
      “The fact is he has a contract to June 30, 2023.”
      According to The Times, Barca have agreed a three-year deal with Lewandowski and believe they can sign him for a fee between £25million and £35m.
      Fren’s an enemy of Utd style
      Man United have been urged not to sign Barcelona star Frenkie De Jong.
      The midfielder isn’t the right fit for Man United’s set-up, according to Steve Nicol.
      He said: “If there’s one thing he doesn’t like it’s when there are people scurrying around him, closing him down, and I’m not so sure he’s the greatest at doing it the other way around.
      “So if he goes to Man United, how’s he going to get the ball? Because they don’t have anybody to get him the ball.”
      Kane tipped for United transfer
      Harry Kane has been tipped to join Man United if Antonio Conte leaves Tottenham.
      That’s the view of Italian super agent Roberto De Fanti.
      He told CaughtOffside: “If Conte does walk away from Tottenham Hotspur, I think Kane will go too.
      “And if that does happen, the only club the Englishman would want to go to now is Manchester United.”
      Man United’s most-important duo
      Man United skipper Harry Maguire has often come under fire this season, but his stats since the summer prove he is actually one of the club’s two MOST-IMPORTANT players.
      Fred too has been subject to criticism at times, despite enjoying something of a revival before his recent injury setback.
      But the pair actually boast the highest Premier League win percentage out of anyone who has played 10 or more games for United this season.
      Brazilian midfielder Fred has helped United pick up three points in 14 of his 27 Prem clashes, a win percentage of 51.9 percent.
      Maguire’s win percentage meanwhile is the second best at the club.
      The newly-married England defender has won 15 of his 29 Prem games, a win percentage of 51.7 percent.
      Roo must be joking
      Man United and England legend Wayne Rooney looked unrecognisable as his court sketch left fans in stitches.
      The Derby County boss, 36, was at London’s High Court for his wife Coleen’s legal battle with Rebekah Vardy.
      After the opening day of court, a sketch of ex-Everton, United and Three Lions star Rooney sat alongside Coleen in the courtroom emerged online.
      And it had fans in stitches as they quickly began taking the mick on Twitter.

      Ten Hag set for visit
      Erik ten Hag could be in attendance for Man United’s last game of the season.
      Ten Hag will take the reins at Old Trafford this summer.
      But The Athletic have reported that the Dutchman may be in the stands to get a preview of his new club in action.
      However, the report states that Ten Hag’s presence is yet to be confirmend.
      Why Man United aren’t playing
      The FA Cup final has impacted Man United’s Premier League schedule.
      Man Utd were supposed to play Chelsea at home this weekend, but the Blues made it to the FA Cup final against Liverpool.
      Therefore, the match was rescheduled.
      Ferdinand’s De Jong hopes
      Rio Ferdinand insists Frenkie De Jong will be a great signing for Man United.
      He said: “He doesn’t get too many goals or assists but he gives you many more elements of the game that, I think United need as a team; especially in that position.
      “United are definitely losing Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard, Nemanja Matic, and Juan Mata, they are all leaving in that position, so it does need reinforcement.
      “And I think he would be a fantastic signing, if this deal goes ahead.”
      United face De Jong fight
      Man United face a fight prising Frenkie De Jong away from Barcelona.
      That’s because Barca boss Xavi has revealed that De Jong is still very much part of his plans going forward – despite United’s interest.
      Xavi declared: “I have said many times that Frenkie is very important. He’s a key player.
      “Then there is also the financial situation of the club and it has to be decided. I’m not talking about Frenkie, in general.”
      Gary Neville’s Prem predictions resurface
      Gary Neville has been left red-faced after his pre-season Premier League predictions resurfaced on social media.
      The Manchester United legend reckoned the Red Devils were going to finish THIRD in the table.
      But in actual fact United have already guaranteed a worst-ever Premier League points total, and the best Ralf Rangnick’s flops can end up is sixth.
      But despite Neville getting that particular prediction horribly wrong, it’s arguably not even his worst guess on the list.
      Neville did have Manchester City down to be champions and Chelsea and Liverpool to finish in the top four, but that’s about as far as he got in terms of success.
      Stay away from De Jong
      Man United have been urged not to sign Barcelona star Frenkie De Jong.
      The midfielder isn’t the right fit for Man United’s set-up, according to Steve Nicol.
      He said: “If there’s one thing he doesn’t like it’s when there are people scurrying around him, closing him down, and I’m not so sure he’s the greatest at doing it the other way around.
      “So if he goes to Man United, how’s he going to get the ball? Because they don’t have anybody to get him the ball.”
      Mulling over Man United move
      Bayern Munich star Thomas Muller has revealed he was close to joining Man United when Louis Van Gaal was boss.
      Muller told Merkur: “Bayern clearly rejected the whole thing – despite this insane offer from United.
      “[But it was a] huge vote of confidence from Bayern.”
      Man United stars coach choice fury
      Man United stars are reportedly not happy with the coaching levels at the club.
      The United squad don’t think American coaches Rangnick’s coaches Chris Armas and Ewan Sharp are up to the standard set Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s personnel unit, according to The Athletic.
      Armas and Sharp’s predecessors Michael Carrick and Kieran McKenna were more suited to the task, the report states.

      And although he was back to his best last season, Ten Hag wants to assess him properly before committing to a long-term decision.
      United hold a similar view on Brazil midfielder Fred, 29, although they would be more willing to listen to offers this summer at the right price.
      Ten Hag is set to bring former Sir Alex Ferguson No 2 Steve McClaren back to Old Trafford.
      As SunSport reported earlier this week, ex-England boss McClaren joined incoming the Red Devils boss and his assistant Mitchell van der Gaag who is following him to Old Trafford.

      They met in Amsterdam with United’s Director of Football John Murtough less than 24 hours after Ten Hag had clinched the Dutch title with Ajax.
      McClaren, 61, was Sir Alex Ferguson’s assistant from 1999 to 2001 before going on to manage Middlesbrough.
      His presence at such a meeting is the clearest indication yet that he is going to be involved in the new management set-up at the club.
      The group got together to identify which players they wanted to bring in this summer. More

      Frenkie de Jong ready to leave £6MILLION on the table in unpaid wages to seal move to Man City over rivals Man Utd

      by

      FRENKIE DE JONG is willing to kiss goodbye to nearly £6million in unpaid wages to clinch a move to Manchester City.As SunSport revealed, Erik ten Hag wants the Barcelona star at rivals United but City chief Pep Guardiola is also a big fan – missing out three years ago when Barca’s £400,000-a-week after tax was too good for the Dutch star to turn down.

      And while the Etihad money men are not keen on paying out the £65million it cost to take him to the Nou Camp from Ajax in 2019, De Jong’s stance on money he is owed may prove decisive.
      Barca are still fighting their way out of a financial crisis, which saw players defer 40 per cent of wages for a year.
      And midfielder De Jong is still owed a bumper figure, which he could waive to make a move happen.
      Guardiola is in the market for a midfielder to replace the departing Fernandinho.

      But Barca may request Bernardo Silva or Raheem Sterling as part of any deal.

      But he conceded that the club could still sell the 25-year-old this summer.
      He said: “For me, he is a very important player.
