      Man Utd ‘face £37m loss as Inter Milan target shock cut-price transfer for Aaron Wan-Bissaka’

      MANCHESTER UNITED will suffer a £37MILLION loss if Aaron Wan-Bissaka leaves for Inter Milan this summer.Inter are reportedly eyeing a £13million price tag on the Old Trafford full-back.The sale of Aaron Wan-Bissaka to Inter will result in a mammoth financial loss for UnitedCredit: GettyWan-Bissaka, 26, will kick off United’s summer clear-out after making 13 Premier League starts this season.He has seen his campaign disrupted by injury, missing 12 games in total due to hamstring issues.Wan-Bissaka remains a fan-favourite, but he has reportedly been deemed surplus to requirements, despite the lack of fit defenders at United.His contract is set to expire in 2025 after the club activated the option to extend his contract in January.READ MORE FOOTBALL NEWSBut United – who bought Wan-Bissaka from Crystal Palace for £50m in 2019 – are set to lose a staggering £37m if his move to Italy goes ahead.According to Italian news outlet Calciomercato, Inter chiefs will pay no more than £13m to acquire his services.That is roughly half the fee they hope to receive if Inter sell Denzel Dumfries in the summer following stalled contract talks. The Serie A side did reportedly offer Dumfries to United in a swap deal in January, but this was rejected.Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERDumfries, 27, remains one of the best attacking right-backs in Europe following his five league assists and three goals this season.But the Nerazzurri are aware of the growing interest in their starman and they will not let Dumfries go for less than £43.5million.Dumfries’ current deal also runs out in 2025 and the defender has been on United’s radar for some time.Wan-Bissaka is one of 11 stars reportedly on the chopping block following Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s 27.7 per cent £1.03bn partial takeover.Casemiro becomes fan favourite at CHELSEA as video of Man Utd star being ‘thoroughly nice’ to Blues supporters emergesElsewhere, Chelsea are additionally interested in Dumfries coming to Stamford Bridge this summer.The ongoing injury crisis around Blues captain Reece James has forced Mauricio Pochettino to consider bringing in reinforcements.Meanwhile, despite making a total of 181 appearances for United, Wan-Bissaka has never made a senior England appearance. Harry Maguire – from Man Utd comedy figure to Ten Hag’s last hopeBy Neil Custis
      THIS time last year Harry Maguire accepted his future lay away from Manchester United — with boss Erik ten Hag happy for him to leave.Now, Ten Hag has identified the England centre-half as the man to rescue United’s sorry season.Maguire certainly wasn’t seen as so key last term when Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez, Victor Lindelof and even Luke Shaw — when United played a back-three — were ahead in the pecking order.The ignominy of having the captain’s armband taken off him in the summer and handed to Bruno Fernandes felt like the final straw.But before a proposed £30million move to West Ham could go through, a deeply hurt Maguire wanted a £15m payout from United and was not going to budge.Neither would United and it looked like he was heading for footballing oblivion.That was to underestimate the Sheffield-born player, who was determined to show his steel and prove his detractors wrong.Through the ups and downs, trials and tribulations of this season, he can come out with his head held high, having constantly stepped up to the plate as injuries have ravaged the back four.All of the four players mentioned ­previously are in the treatment room.Maguire, 31, has been there himself but tries to play through the knocks, pulls and strains.His experience will be even more important with 19-year-old Willy Kambwala alongside him at Bournemouth today — as he was in last Sunday’s 2-2 draw with Liverpool.And Maguire now has Ten Hag’s praise ringing in his ears.The United manager said: “We were always very happy with Harry Maguire but he wants to play.“He’s a great leader, he’s a very good defender, very comfortable on the ball and I count all of those abilities. We have had problems with our defensive line so he is even more important to lead that line, to make us play from the back.“We are very pleased he is there and we need him to get our results and achieve our targets.”

      Old Trafford icon Andy Cole names Man Utd’s MVP for the season calling ace ‘unbelievable’ but also ‘overworked’

      by

      ANDRE ONANA has been Manchester United’s Most Valuable Player this season, according to legendary club striker Andy Cole.Onana, alongside the rest of his Red Devils teammates, has faced heavy criticism for United’s underwhelming season.Andy Cole believes Andre Onana has been United’s MVP at crucial points this seasonCredit: The SunOnana’s performances have improved amid a shot facing crisis for UnitedCredit: GettyThe Cameroonian goalkeeper had a tough start to life at Old Trafford after making his £47million move from Inter Milan last summer.Onana made several high-profile blunders and his huge mistakes cost his side points in the Premier League, and led to them crashing out the Champions League.But Cole – who scored 121 goals for United – believes the 27-year-old is starting to show his worth and has become a crucial part of Erik ten Hag’s team. Cole told Betfred: “He’s definitely overworked at the moment and that’s why we’re talking about him.READ MORE FOOTBALL NEWS”He’s producing a hell of a lot of saves and many of them are ones that he shouldn’t even have to produce.”But because United continue to give the ball away in certain areas so easily, the goalkeeper has been their MVP on a lot of occasions. “He has unbelievable feet too.

Being a goalkeeper is a position with a lot of responsibility. You have to be ready to play with anyone and… I can’t complain.”United return to domestic action on Saturday when they travel to Bournemouth.The Cherries were shock 3-0 winners when the two teams met in the reverse fixture at Old Trafford. Tuchel showed why he could be the perfect man for Man Utd, says Andy DillonBy Andy Dillon

      Somehow mustering some gumption from the worst Bayern Munich team in more than a decade to stop a rampant Arsenal dead in their tracks is a spectacular job advert for a manager soon to be looking for work.

      After 11 years unopposed as German champions, Chelsea’s former manager has chucked it in at home in a remarkable act of ineptitude. But freak years can happen.
      Tuchel is an enigma. But that is part of the appeal as much as winning the Champions League with Chelsea just three months after taking the job.
      With no new signings, he took a team that had lost five of the previous ten games and turned them into European Champions.

      Raphael Varane ‘set for Man Utd transfer exit’ as Red Devils refuse to offer new contract on current salary

According to the Daily Mail’s Chris Wheeler, the Frenchman is now “likely” to leave the Red Devils.Man Utd are not prepared to offer Varane an extension on his current colossal wage package worth £340,000 a week.READ MORE IN MAN UTDJettisoning, the former Real Madrid stars wages – the second highest at the club behind the £350,000 a week (£18.2m a year) earned by Casemiro – will see the Red Devils save £17,680,000 a year.Varane fell out of favour under Erik ten Hag earlier this season before playing his way back into the team. However, his time at Man Utd has been dogged by injury.The World Cup winning defender has been open about his condition and the physical and mental fatigue he has felt due to the incredible match loads put onto players in the modern day.Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERSA recent interview with L’Equipe saw him reveal how he suffered “abnormal fatigue” following a match where he performed a number of headers.

      ERIK TEN HAG insists he is still the right man to take Manchester United forward.
      The Dutchman believes he can recapture their former glories, despite escaping for the second time in a row what could have been humiliation by Liverpool at the weekend.
      And teen Willy Kambwala revealed his “passion” is to become a rock at the heart of United’s defence after making just his second start of the season against their bitter rivals.
      United trailed 1-0 at half-time on Sunday but fought back to take a 2-1 lead before Mo Salah’s 84th-minute equaliser from the penalty spot.
      Ten Hag was pleased with the second-half performance, declaring it “another signal and message for the future,” before adding, “the team and squad have high potential.”
      Yet the Old Trafford chief sounds more and more like he has his finger stuck in a leaky dyke and does not think it is going to hold.
      Comeback or not, United still threw away a lead for the third time in eight days following their 4-3 defeat to Chelsea and 1-1 draw with Brentford — both deep into injury time.
