      Meanwhile, a third supporter also added: “No way they are offering martial to stay.”

      The Frenchman has scored just once in 12 Premier League appearances as he battles for a starting spot with Rasmus Hojlund.

      Guerra has been a standout performer for Valencia so far this season after breaking into the team in the second half of last term.
      His performances have now caught the eye of Erik ten Hag ahead of the January transfer window.
      According to reports in Spain, it will take a fee of at least £34million to sign Guerra from Valencia.
      Italian giants Juventus have already had a £22million bid rejected by Valencia.

      With Valencia in no rush to sell, though, it is understood they could demand clubs pay his £86million release clause if Guerra’s stock continues to rise.
      The midfielder has won six caps for Spain at under-21 level since making his debut in September.
      Meanwhile, he has scored three goals and added an assist in 16 La Liga appearances this season.

      Ahead of Saturday’s game with Bournemouth at Old Trafford, Ten Hag reiterated the ball is in Sancho’s court if the matter is to be resolved.
      He explained: “So it is about a culture and every player has to match certain ­standards and it was about that.
      “What will happen there? He knows what he has to do if he wants to return. It is up to him.”
      Sancho has been forced to train at the academy section of the club’s training ground, with his food brought ­separately from the first-team canteen.

      However, SunSport can reveal he has missed a number of those training sessions.
      Sancho is understood to still be on full pay and the club have not fined him for missing training as he has always had a reason.
      The forward has not gone AWOL because he always provided an explanation for why he would not be ­turning up, sometimes ­citing illness.
      He effectively branded Ten Hag a liar on social media after the Dutchman dropped the £73million signing from his squad for the Gunners defeat.

      Having been accused of showing a poor attitude in training, Sancho posted: “I will not allow people saying things that is completely untrue, I have conducted myself in training very well this week.
      “I believe there are other reasons for this matter that I won’t go into and I have been a scapegoat for a long time which isn’t fair!”
      Sancho deleted the post but Ten Hag demanded an apology, which has not been forthcoming.

      Decision on Mason Greenwood’s return to Man Utd ‘will be made in just months’ as club bosses consider stunning U-turn

      by

      MANCHESTER United could decide “in just months” on whether or not to bring back Mason Greenwood, as bosses consider a dramatic u-turn.The 22-year-old striker has impressed on the pitch since joining Getafe FC on a season-long loan, having found the net four times in 11 games, including a stunning goal against Almeria in November.

      Greenwood joined the Spanish club who play in La Liga after bosses decided he could not continue his career at Old Trafford following an investigation into his behaviour off the pitch.
      However, Greenwood is technically a Red Devils player as he is only on loan to the club.
      It comes as Sir Jim Ratcliffe is poised to complete a purchase of 25 per cent of the Old Trafford side in a deal worth £1.3billion.
      The move will then see then British billionaire take control of the club’s footballing operations, including transfers.
      Read More on Mason Greenwood
      Sir Jim is likely to make big changes with a new board and CEO which could see the club take a new approach to its transfer dealings.
      Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano believes that with changes at the top of the club, this means Greenwood’s situation and future are back on the table.
      While Romano said in his exclusive Daily Briefing for CaughtOffside no decision had been made one could be made in just a few months.
      He wrote: “So the idea is to take some time and just let Greenwood play football. Then, based on his performances for Getafe, Man United will discuss their position and that of the player.
      Most read in Football
      “This will likely take place in March, April or May.
      “There will be many different factors to consider, and obviously the new Man United board will have a new CEO and new people in charge of the transfer market, meaning that they will all decide on transfer business together.”
      Greenwood was arrested in January 2022 following charges of attempted rape, assault and coercive control.
      He denied all the charges and they were later dropped by the CPS.
      Greenwood last played for United in their 1-0 win over West Ham on January 22, 2022.
      In an attempt to rebuild his career away from the glare of the Premier League, he switched to the Spanish side on transfer deadline day.
      He is still under contract with the club until 2025.
      It comes as The Sun reported Valencia and Real Sociedad are understood to both be “monitoring” the England striker and could be poised to make a move in the summer.
      Our source said: “Mason has done brilliantly since he moved to Spain and is really catching the eye after a strong start to his time at Getafe.
      “There are a number of clubs looking at him in Spain with scouts from Valencia and Sociedad seemingly at the front of the queue.
      “It is highly unlikely Mason will return to Manchester United.
      “That ship has sailed, and he looks set to enjoy the next phase of his career in Spain where he has really settled and found his feet both personally and professionally.
      “He owes a huge debt to Getafe for the help and support they have given him, and it’s possible he could make his move there permanent at the end of the season.
      Read more on The Sun
      “But if he carries on playing like he is, other bids and offers are likely to come in, leaving Mason, and the club, with a decision to make.
      “After a very difficult year or so Mason feels like his career is on the up.”

      Man Utd ‘line up ambitious transfer for Barcelona defender as they look to replace frozen out Raphael Varane’

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED have lined up an ambitious transfer swoop for Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo.The Red Devils are on the hunt to replace Raphael Varane, who has fallen down the pecking order at Old Trafford and is set to be sold at the end of the term.

      Varane, 29, has been frozen out by Erik ten Hag despite being one of United’s highest earners on a wage of around £340,000 per week.
      The Frenchman has played just 18 minutes in the Red Devils’ last eight league games.
      And he was left out of Man Utd’s winning squad against Chelsea on Wednesday night.
      Despite Araujo rejecting an offer to move to Old Trafford in 2022 to sign a new contract at Camp Nou, United are still interested in the defender, according to Spanish outlet Sport.
      READ MORE MAN UTD NEWS
      Barca got a bargain when they snapped up the 24-year-old from Boston Rivers in 2018 for a modest fee of £1.4million.
      The Blaugrana’s third captain Araujo has since made 126 appearances at the club and helped his side win a La Liga title and Copa del Rey.
      But for United to sign the centre-back they will have to pay a huge price as his new contract has a staggering £856million buyout clause that runs until 2026.
      And the Uruguayan has vowed to stay at the club and “mark an era as one of the greatest defenders in history”.

      He even told his agents last season “not to listen to anyone’s” offer so he could accept Barca’s contract.
      The centre-back has played only more than one game than Varane but has been on the pitch for nearly double the amount of time.
      Defensively Araujo has outshined Varane picking up and winning more tackles for his side.
      Singing from Real Madrid in 2021 the Frenchman was expected to be a key star at United in their quest to win the league title again.
      And last term he formed a decent partnership with Lisandro Martinez.
      Last month, Ten Hag denied that he and Varane had fallen out after selecting him from the start in just four league games this term. More

      However, fans have been far from impressed with him in recent weeks.
      Club legend Paul Scholes criticised the England international following his poor performance against Newcastle last week.
      Speaking on Premier League Productions, he said: “Marcus last year was brilliant and he’s got ability, there is no doubt about that.
      “But when you decide to walk back like he was, and he comes off and behaves like that, I do not think it’s good for the team.
      “And he’s one of the most experienced players now. He’s a player that players look up to. Mainoo looks up to him. Garnacho looks up to him.” More

      Veron joined the Red Devils in 2001 with high expectations following five stunning years in Serie A and the Argentine national team.
      The Argentine played for the likes of Sampdoria, Parma and Lazio beforehand.
      However, the midfielder couldn’t replicate the same performances at Old Trafford where he amassed a total of 11 goals and 15 assists in 82 appearances across all competitions.
      The ex-Argentina international left the Manchester giants for Premier League rivals Chelsea in 2003.

      However, Veron also struggled at Stamford Bridge where he registered a mere 14 appearances with one goal to his name.
      The versatile midfielder also underwent two loan stints at Inter Milan and Estudiantes during his four-year stint with the Blues.
      That led to a permanent move to Estudiantes where he stayed until 2012.
      Veron moved to Brandsen 11 years ago for a few months before undergoing two more stints at Estudiantes until his retirement in 2017.

      And one of the players he has in his squad is his own son Deian, who has been playing at the Estadio Jorge Luis Hirschi since his was a child.
