      Inside Wayne Rooney’s boxing switch that is FIVE YEARS in making with both Jake Paul and KSI in Man Utd icon’s sights

      by

      WAYNE ROONEY’S plan to make a boxing switch might come as a shock to many – but it may just have been in the works for years. The Manchester United legend is an avid fan of the noble art and even trained as a schoolboy at an amateur club in Liverpool.

      But he chose football over boxing and went onto become one of England’s most talented players.
      Rooney retired from playing in 2021 and has moved into coaching – but it appears as though he has a masterplan to make a move into boxing.
      According to the Mirror, the Three Lions icon has held preliminary talks with Misfits Boxing.
      Misfits – founded by YouTuber-turned boxer KSI – homes to celebrity-style crossover bouts aired on streaming service DAZN.

      It has seen stars of the social media, MMA and boxing world all compete in big-money events.
      And KSI once revealed Rooney actually reached out to him personally to try and discuss a fight between them.
      He said last January: “It’s funny – I hope he doesn’t get annoyed that I said this – but Wayne Rooney hit me up being like, ‘Oh, we should fight.’
      “And I said no. I just don’t want to do that. If Wayne Rooney is down, of course I think it would be good to have him in this space.”

      Eddie Hearn – who promotes Anthony Joshua – has also discussed Rooney’s plan to get into boxing before.

      Hearn said as far back as 2019: “He loves it. He’s been boxing in amateur clubs.
      Sir Alex Ferguson lost it with Wayne Rooney ’20 times a season’ for breaking legendary Man Utd boss’ tactical rule
      “Wayne would love to do a charity fight. All these guys, they love boxing.”
      And Hearn has even had messages from Rooney and talked up the former Birmingham boss returning to Old Trafford to fight Jake Paul.
      He told Rio Ferdinand last year: “I’ve actually spoke to Wayne a few times about the Jake Paul fight.
      “Normally, if he has a couple of glasses of red he’ll fire in a message to me at night going, ‘Listen, I wanna fight that geezer.’
      “Wayne can fight, he had a couple of amateur fights – but him against Jake Paul at Old Trafford, that’s actually a makeable fight.”
      Rooney, infamously knocked out in his kitchen by friend Phil Bardsley, has been out of work since being sacked by Birmingham in January. More

      Barcelona ‘name their price’ for Man Utd transfer target Frenkie de Jong with Premier League rivals set for battle

      by

      BARCELONA have named their asking price for star midfielder Frenkie de Jong, it’s been claimed.The Netherlands international was wanted by several clubs before his 2019 move to the Nou Camp from Ajax.
      Barcelona have reportedly named their asking price for Frenkie de JongCredit: REX
      The Spanish giants are said to be willing to sell the 26-year-old for a whopping £85millionCredit: Rex
      Despite Barca’s inconsistency in recent years, De Jong has continued to impress – so much so Manchester United tried to acquire his services last summer.
      The Catalans were reluctant to sell the 26-year-old, although they’re now reportedly willing to part company with him.
      That’s according to Mundo Deportivo, who claim the La Liga giants have slapped a staggering £85MILLION asking price on the midfielder.
      The interest of United boss Erik ten Hag could very well be piqued by apparent Barca’s willingness to sell De Jong.

      But the £85m asking could prove to be too much for the Prem big boys.
      Ten Hag managed De Jong during his time in charge of Ajax, in which they won a domestic double and reached the 2019 Champions League semi-final.
      Chelsea are rumoured to be keen on signing the midfielder, although Financial Fair Play could scupper their interest in acquiring his services.
      De Jong – who has scored 16 goals and provided 21 assists during his time at Barca – has seldom spoken about his future at the Nou Camp.

      He added: “I am in the club where I always wanted to be, where I dreamed.”
      De Jong and his Barcelona team-mates will be back in action on Saturday evening, travelling to Galicia to take on Celta Vigo. More

      And according to Italian outlet Calciomercato, they are “preparing an assault” to sign him.
      Bremer signed a four-and-a-half year contract extension with Juventus in December.
      However, the Serie A giants are prepared to let him leave for the right price.
      Juventus allegedly want around £60million for the Brazil international – and they have made that clear to Man Utd.

      Ten Hag sees Bremer as the “most suitable” candidate for his side, Italian sources claim.
      Man Utd could accelerate talks at the end of the Premier League season.
      Bremer joined Juventus in a £45m transfer from Torino in July 2022 and has since made 68 appearances.
      He made his senior debut for Brazil two months later in a match against Ghana.

      Man Utd ‘consider offering Victor Lindelof in swap deal for World Cup winner’ in summer transfer

      The Italian news outlet reported that United’s interest in Pavard, 27, remained ‘strong’.
      The Frenchman, who won the 2018 World Cup, joined Inter Milan for an alleged £27.5million last summer.
      Ten Hag was interested in Pavard but his pursuit stalled when Harry Maguire failed to reach an agreement with West Ham.
      But it appears Ten Hag is back on the defender’s heels and is looking to rope in Lindelof as a bargaining chip for the one that got away.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      The Swede’s contract was extended for another year in January, but he has recently been starting on the bench after sitting out a large part of December with a groin injury.
      Lindelof hasn’t exactly shone in his last few performances and was recently rated a four out of ten by The Sun, who called him a ‘fish out of water.’
      Elsewhere, the Spanish press have linked United with fellow Inter Milan player Lautaro Martinez.
      Fichajes reported that the striker, who has scored 19 Serie A goals this season, has caught the eye of Ten Hag.

      And Bayer Leverkusen wing back Jeremie Frimpong is also an option having been impressive for his team, who recently extended their unbeaten run to 31 matches.
      Frimpong, 23, is in high demand across Europe after his dazzling displays under Xabi Alonso.

      The Dutch international, who plays as an offensive wing-back, has scored eight goals and registered 10 assists across all competitions.
      Teammate Edmond Tapsoba is also being considered by the Old Trafford ranks as they seek to add to their defence.
      Currently they’ve got Diogo Dalot manning the back along with Aaron Wan-Bissaka, but the latter’s season has been peppered with injury which is likely to prompt another defensive signing. More

      Ex-Man Utd star reveals why club should NOT sign Frenkie de Jong with transfer damaging prospect’s career

      United tried in vain to sign him all summer in 2022, with the midfielder ultimately snubbing them even after a fee was agreed with Barcelona.
      However, he is now finally open to a transfer, and several clubs are reportedly prepared to battle it out for his signature.
      Man Utd are expected to re-enter the race to sign De Jong, but Silvestre has warned that signing him could hinder Kobbie Mainoo’s development.
      The ex-United star told Bettingexpert.com: “If a player like Frenkie de Jong is available, he should be considered. But again you look at Kobbie and we talked about Scott, and we have Casemiro here.

      “Will De Jong be an upgrade? Of course. Ahead of Kobbie but if you want to continue developing Mainoo and give him the time, I don’t think De Jong should come in.”
      He added: “If you qualify for the Champions League, then signing De Jong makes sense. You have to consider him for sure.

      “He’s a top player but putting him in a midfield where the manager likes to play with two defensive midfielders, if you play with three, it could be a different proposition.
      “So the answer is yes, do consider him.”

      Pedro Neto set for Wolves transfer exit with Man Utd and Arsenal among host of Premier League suitors

      by

      WOLVES will finance Gary O’Neil’s summer transfer moves by selling one of their A-list stars.And it seems certain Portuguese wing-king Pedro Neto will be the next cab off the Molineux rank, with Saturday’s opponents Tottenham one of the clubs keen to do business.
      Pedro Neto could be set to leave Wolves in the summer transfer windowCredit: Rex
      O’Neil needs a summer transfer kitty to fund a new striker, centre-half and a new winger to replace Neto, in order to meet strict Profit and Sustainability Rules.
      At the moment Wolves are just about breaking even on PSR, therefore they must sell off one of their assets and 23-year-old Neto is the likeliest to leave.
      The truth is, if it hadn’t been for injuries, Neto would already have been snapped up by one of the Premier League’s top-six clubs a long time ago.
      Arsenal are long-term admirers of the little Portuguese winger, while Liverpool were ready to test the waters with a bid in 2021.
      Read More on Football
      However, Neto suffered a crippling broken knee cap against Fulham in April that season which ruled him out for almost a year, killing any potential deals.
      There was a further setback for the forward at the start of the 2022-23 season when he suffered another crippling injury at West Ham in October which kept him out until the following March.
      Happily for Wolves he has now returned to his best form and is injury free again.
      If Mohamed Salah decides to follow Jurgen Klopp out of Anfield this summer, Neto would be an obvious candidate to replace him.
      Most read in Football
      Manchester United have also reportedly held talks about the ex-Braga star.
      Meanwhile, Ange Postecoglu is expected to compete with Arsenal to try and lure Neto to North London.
      Wolves star Pedro Neto shows his skills on the training pitch
      Italian giants Juventus lead the continental interest in him, while Bayern Munich are well aware of the English market too.
      Whoever does win the race to sign the Portuguese international will have to smash Wolves’ transfer record in order to do so.

      Manchester City paid the Molineux club a record £53million in September to land Matheus Nunes.
      But the bidding will need to start at £60m and could even top £70m if Neto has a strong end to the season and sparks a bidding war between clubs.
      Wolves boss O’Neil will be a reluctant seller.
      He recently revealed how he intends to wring every minute he possibly can out of a fully-fit Neto this season.
      Neto just too important for Wolves
      “I remember talking to him during a break in play at Manchester United and he was starting to look a little bit tired with 15 minutes to go,” O’Neil recently revealed.
      “I said: ‘You can look as tired as you want – you’re not coming off. You’re too good to come off! Get a couple of deep breaths in because it’s not happening’.
      “He came off an awful lot towards the end of games and I felt someone as quick as he is – and explosive as he is – it’s worth keeping him on.
      “When the opposition begins to get tired, it will open up for him and he will get some big opportunities. That’s why he never comes off.
      “The fitness staff said to me a few times during games: ‘Pedro’s numbers are quite high’.
      “I replied: ‘Yeah, that’s fine, we’ll rest him tomorrow’. He’s important to what we do.”
      Wolves open for deal
      But Wolves are realistic and owners Fosun want the club to be self-sustainable.
      They intend to follow Leicester City’s blueprint of selling off a major player every season to finance further moves in the transfer market.
      Importantly, Wolves recognise Neto deserves a chance to play at the very top level for a regular Champions League club.
      They realise they landed a top quality star when they plucked him from Braga for £16m in 2019.
      Lazio, where he played on loan before moving to Molineux, never got the best out of their young starlet who only made five first-team appearances in two years in Rome.
      Earlier in his career Neto turned down a move to Barcelona in favour of playing regular first-team football at Braga, so he has been known to all the biggest clubs since he was a teenager.
      But at 23 he now represents a buyer’s dream.
      His stats of two goals and eight assists in 15 games for Wolves this season are impressive enough.
      READ MORE SUN STORIES
      But they would surely soar with one of the giants of the Premier League.
      As O’Neil said: “He is ready to show the world just how good he is and exactly what he has in his locker.”

      Ralf Rangnick lined up by European giants in first club job since Man Utd spell

      by

      RALF RANGNICK has been lined up to make a stunning return to club management at Barcelona. Following legend Xavi’s shocking announcement that he will be leaving the club at the end of the season, all eyes have turned to potential replacements.
      Ralph Rangnick is a shock contender for the Barcelona jobCredit: Getty
      The likes of Jurgen Klopp, Mikel Arteta and even Lionel Messi have all been tipped.
      And now, straight out of left field, former Manchester United flop Rangnick has joined the list.
      The Austrian national team boss is 33/1 with the bookies for the job – leaving him outside the top 20 in the betting.
      Yet it has been reported that Barcelona President Joan Laporta ‘really likes’ him as an option to replace Xavi.
      READ MORE ON MAN UTD
      Rangnick is currently managing the Austrian national team but previously had a successful spell at RB Leipzig, where his genius recruitment strategy turned heads.
      He cleverly brought the likes of Emil Forsberg, Naby Keita and Timo Werner under the Red Bull roof.
      And he was credited with the meteoric rise of Leipzig from the lower leagues of German football to the Champions League from 2015 to 2021.
      It is fair to say things didn’t go so well at United, who finished the season in dreary sixth with 58 points, their lowest total to date.

      But Laporta has a soft spot for German technicians and it won’t be the first time the club has gone down that route.
      Barca have had two German coaches in their history, Hans Weisweiler in the 75-76 season and legend Udo Lattek coached them between 1981 and 1983.
      Ten Hag reacts to Man Utd’s 2-1 win at Aston Villa
      Both had issues with star players – famously Weisweiler clashed with Johan Cruyff while Lattek had a run-in with Diego Maradona.
      Other candidates on Barca’s ‘shortlist’ include Arsenal’s Arteta, Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique, Brigton boss Roberto De Zerbi and Xabi Alonso amongst others.
      But it’s Barca legend Raphael Marquez, currently manager of Barca’s B team, who has shot to the top of the betting. More
