      Potter is still well regarded by the Italians for his work at Brighton despite a nightmare spell at Chelsea.
      Napoli won the title under current Italy boss Luciano Spalletti but have slumped since Rudi Garcia took charge.
      But Potter is also a possible candidate for United when Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s team takes charge if the Red Devils’ owners-in-waiting decide to get rid of Erik ten Hag.
      Ratcliffe’s sidekick, Sir Dave Brailsford — who is set to be the football face of the takeover — is a Potter fan and wanted him at French side Nice.

      The Ineos owner – Britain’s richest man – has agreed a £1.35billion deal for a 25 per cent share of the club.
      And, despite recent delays, the 70-year-old still hopes to formally arrive at Old Trafford in time for the January transfer window.
      Ratcliffe is the only contender to seriously invent in the Red Devils after Sheikh Jassim withdrew his takeover bid.
      But if Potter, 48, did come in it would be seen as a big gamble.

      I owe everything to Sir Bobby Charlton… without him I might not have played for Man Utd, I’m even named after him

      by

      DAVID BECKHAM admitted he would never have played for Manchester United had it not been for Sir Bobby Charlton. The United legend has sadly passed away aged 86 following a battle with dementia as the tributes have poured in.

      Charlton – a 1966 England World Cup winner – is close to Beckham’s heart having been his dad Ted’s favourite player.
      Becks is even named after the Man Utd legend – his middle name is Robert – as his dad confirmed on his Netflix documentary.
      And the former Three Lions skipper could not speak more highly of his footballing hero.
      He told the BBC: “Sir Bobby’s has always been about being successful in his career, but he’s even more about helping other people and helping others.
      READ MORE ON SIR BOBBY
      “And that’s what’s special about him as a person. He’s respected on the field and he’s respected even more so off the field.
       “To look back all those years ago and to say Sir Bobby was one of the main reasons why I was able to join Manchester United.
      “Because after being at his soccer school, he passed the world on to the club that maybe you should look out for me.
      “I owe everything to Sir Bobby because if not, maybe I wouldn’t have had the chance of living my dream of playing for the club that I supported for so many years and the club that my dad supported, so me and my dad have a lot to thank Sir Bobby for.”

      Beckham and Charlton were both league and European champions during their time at United.
      And the club were quick to pay respect to the iconic player.
      A statement read: “Sir Bobby was a hero to millions, not just in Manchester, or the United Kingdom, but wherever football is played around the world.”
      Sir Bobby is widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time.
      He played in the Three Lions’ World Cup triumph in 1966 and went on to win Ballon d’Or later that year.
      He also scored 249 goals in 758 games for Manchester United – helping them to their first ever European Cup win in 1968.
      Despite playing as a midfielder, Sir Bobby netted a further 49 times in 106 games for England.
      He spent almost all of his playing career at Man Utd and was renowned for his passes and long-range shots.

      United are open to offers for Sancho when the transfer window re-opens, with a potential loan move on the cards.
      According to Sky Sports, clubs from the Turkish Super Lig have now entered the mix to land Sancho’s services.
      The interest from Turkey joins existing links to clubs in Germany and Italy.
      A handful of teams have now held internal discussions over a potential short-term loan deal until the end of the season.

      However, former club Borussia Dortmund have distanced themselves from links to Sancho, the report adds.
      Their interest is understood to be dependant on the wage structure of a potential loan.

      And they looked set to finally do so having put the footballing giants up for sale.
      United fans looked on course to celebrate new owners after Sheikh Jassim closed in on a multibillion deal.
      But that was until he withdrew his £5BILLION offer – leaving Sir Jim Ratcliffe in the clear to take over.
      Britain’s richest man has since agreed a £1.35billion deal for a 25 per cent takeover of the Red Devils.

      It will mean the Glazers will still remain at the club – something City fans are clearly happy with.

      A number of the six strong Glazer family members on the United board were happy to sell to Sheikh Jassim entirely.
      But Joel Glazer, in control of the process, was in favour of keeping majority shares in the club, unless Jassim upped his bid again.

      Fans give mixed reviews on Ferdinand commentary
      Rio Ferdinand’s commentary on the Merseyside Derby generated a mixed response from football fans this afternoon.
      The Manchester United legend was on punditry duty for TNT Sports ahead of the game, but he moved up to the commentary box after kick-off.
      Ferdinand, 44, joined Ally McCoist in providing analysis throughout the match.
      But he jokingly issued a quick apology to viewers after reacting to a shot from Dominik Szoboszlai.
      As the midfielder unleashed a powerful strike from around 30 yards out, Ferdinand shouted: “Wow!”
      Which prompted commentator Darren Fletcher to say: “I think Rio thought he was in!”
      Szoboszlai’s shot narrowly flew over the crossbar, but Ferdinand was convinced that Jordan Pickford wouldn’t have been able to save it if it was on target.
      Ferdinand then added: “If that was on target I don’t think Pickford’s got enough to get it.
      “Sorry guys, I can’t control myself up here!”

      The 44-year-old was on punditry duty alongside Jules Breach, Phil Jagielka and Peter Crouch for TNT Sports.
      However, just before going on air he was given a “lukewarm” welcome from fans.
      Breach said: “You got a warm reception as you stepped up here Rio, didn’t you.”
      To which Ferdinand responded: “Lukewarm. It’s better than when I played here I’ve got to say that!”
      Breach then recalled the moment he greeted a group of fans waiting outside Anfield, adding: “He said ‘hello’ and I think one person just went, ‘hiya!'”
      Ferdinand, joking around, then said: “Alright Jules!”

      I’m a former Man Utd star who wowed Louis van Gaal as a youngster – now I’m struggling for game time in Poland

      by

      JUST because you’ve left a Champions League winning manager impressed, doesn’t mean you’re guaranteed to be a success. Louis van Gaal was wowed by Cameron Borthwick-Jackson during his time at Manchester United, but the Englishman’s career has failed to kick on since.

      Borthwick-Jackson came through the academy ranks at Man Utd and made 14 appearances under Van Gaal during the 2015/16 season.
      The Dutch gaffer was forced to throw the then 18-year-old into the mix after an injury crisis, but was left pleasantly surprised by his ability to slot straight into the first team.
      Speaking in 2015, Van Gaal said: “I have seen him once or twice and I have been impressed by him.
      “I knew that Marouane Fellaini was injured, so I talked with Warren Joyce [Man Utd U21 coach] and asked what he had for me.

      “I’m always talking with him or Paul McGuinness [Man Utd U18 coach], and he said at the moment the left full-back is in good shape. 
      “I needed a left full-back because Marcos Rojo had played a few games in a row, so I have to take into account that it might be too much.
      “I put Cameron in the line-up without any fear, and I have to say he did very well.”
      But despite the experienced manager’s glowing review of the full-back things didn’t progress as expected and Borthwick-Jackson’s career with the Red Devils never progressed.

      But things aren’t quite going to plan for Borthwick-Jackson in the Polish league so far this term.

      However, he made an awkward blunder on his first day back.

      Man Utd set Greenwood price
      Man United hope to rake in £22million for Mason Greenwood.
      The Express claims the striker will never play for the Red Devils again after a loan move to Getafe.

      Evans above for Jonny
      Jonny Evans could be in line for another Man Utd appearance this weekend.
      The veteran defender has passed a fitness test after appearing to take a knock while playing for Northern Ireland.
      Evans already seems to be ahead of Harry Maguire in Erik ten Hag’s pecking order.
      And he could get the nod when United visit Sheffield United on Saturday.
      Sancho still an exile
      Jadon Sancho looks like he’s out of the Man Utd frame for good.
      That’s after being ditched from their squad photo for the current season.
      Sancho continues to train by himself after a spat with Erik ten Hag.
      And it seems he will leave United in January, with a loan move the most likely option.

      Origins of Sancho row revealed
      Jadon Sancho’s feud with Erik ten Hag began when the Manchester United boss reportedly decided three academy products had outshone the England winger in training.
      Sancho was promptly dropped against Arsenal – with the resulting infamous row leaving him training and eating alone at the club.
      The Times say Ten Hag was far more impressed by starlets Dan Gore, 19, 21-year-old Facundo Pellistri and Hannibal Mejbri, 20, than with Sancho as United practiced ahead of a trip to the Emirates on September 3.
      Cue the 23-year-old being totally axed from the squad – leading to dramatic claims, counter-claims and costly repercussions for Sancho.
      Supercomputer predicts awful United finish
      Man Utd are being tipped for their worst finish in Premier League history.
      A boffin supercomputer has calculated that the Red Devils will finish 10th this season.
      Incredibly, Spurs are tipped to win the title ahead of Arsenal, Man City and Liverpool.
      But United’s season still won’t be as bad as Chelsea’s, who are predicted to come a place behind in 11th.

      No way back for Sergio
      Sergio Reguilon appears to have cut ties with parent club Spurs.
      That’s by claiming every footballer wants to play for Man United.
      Reguilon joined the Red Devils on loan and has impressed in several appearances.
      He said: “This question is too easy. Tell me one player that doesn’t want to play for Manchester United. It was an easy decision for me.”

      Ratcliffe waits for takeover approval
      Man Utd fans may have to wait until next month at LEAST before finding out if Sir Jim Ratcliffe will be taking a stake in the club.
      The 70-year-old’s bid was initially expected to be given the green light in a Red Devils board meeting this week.
      But while a scheduled board meeting did take place as planned on Thursday, and the potential share sale is almost certain to be discussed, there will be no decision from the Glazers and other directors.
      Although a late change of heart is possible, it is understood that the final details on any agreement are still being thrashed out by lawyers and are unlikely to be completed in time.
      Martial law for striker
      Anthony Martial has been warned to shape up or ship out.
      Reports claim the Frenchman has been told he must show signs of improvement to earn a new Man Utd contract.
      Martial’s current deal expires at the end of the season and the Red Devils are prepared to lose him on a free.
      But if he gets back to goalscoring ways after some injury-blighted seasons, Martial could yet end up penning a United extension.

      Back in business
      Man Utd have been handed a big injury boost ahead of their trip to Sheffield United.
      Sergio Reguilon was pictured training on Thursday, having missed the last four games.
      And Sofyan Amrabat also took part after sitting out Morocco’s recent matches.
      However, Casemiro is not expected to be fit after staying in Brazil to nurse a knock from the international break.

      It took a relaxed look at football and targeted younger audiences.
      The Match of the Day spin-off was packed with exclusive interviews while also delving into music, fashion and culture.

      Three reasons Man Utd are struggling
      Man Utd sit 10th in the Premier League after a disappointing start to the season.
      There was a real sense of optimism around the club as the season began, with United back in the Champions League and the squad receiving significant investment.
      However, poor league form and back-to-back defeats to Bayern Munich and Galatasaray in Europe have left some questioning manager Erik ten Hag.
