      Chiesa, 25, could fit the bill and his contract is set to expire in 2025.

      His club are hoping to agree a one-year extension on similar money in upcoming weeks, before sitting down for more long-term talks.
      The Euro 2020 winner struggled to recapture his best form after returning from a serious knee injury last season.
      But he has looked more himself this term, scoring four goals and laying on an assist in his first six appearances.
      Meetings are set to take place between Juventus chiefs and Chiesa’s agent Fali Ramadani in the coming weeks.

      Sancho, meanwhile, doesn’t look likely to return to contention at Old Trafford any time soon.
      He has not featured since August, having been initially dropped for his side’s trip to Arsenal on September 3 for what Ten Hag claimed were poor performances in training.

      The 23-year-old subsequently refuted his manager’s claim, and said that he was being made a “scapegoat”.
      Sancho has since reportedly been banned from all first team facilities, including the canteen.
      Ten Hag, 53, will not entertain the idea of re-integrating the former Borussia Dortmund star until he apologises.
      Dortmund are among the teams interested in signing Sancho in January.
      While Serie A strugglers Roma are also believed to be keen.

      The winger landed at Manchester Airport on Monday night after flying in from Sao Paulo, Brazil, to face the music.
      Antony apparently contacted Greater Manchester Police and volunteered to meet them for questioning.
      He is set to deny the claims that he attacked his ex-girlfriend Gabriela, leaving her with a sliced finger and head wound.
      The Man United ace is said to be planning to hand his phone over to officers to aid their investigations, the Times reports.

      Antony was seen leaving his home in Hale Barns – which is Paul Pogba’s former mansion – just before 4pm this afternoon.
      His current partner Rosilene Silva was also pictured leaving the sprawling property shortly before he departed.
      A source said: “Antony is adamant he has done nothing wrong and wants to sit down with officers and let them ask him questions.
      “He has nothing to hide and will hand over anything they want to see including his mobile phone.

      “He wants to be exonerated as quickly as possible so he can get on with his football career again without any distractions.”
      He was also voluntarily interviewed by Brazilian cops in June and was free to leave for the UK after cooperating with Sao Paulo police.
      Gabriela, 22, has accused the £85million winger of assaulting her on numerous occasions throughout their relationship.
      She claimed that she was first attacked in June last year, while pregnant and on holiday in Brazil.
      The model and DJ alleged that Antony then headbutted and punched her, damaging a breast implant, at a hotel in Manchester on January 15.
      And she claimed he threw a glass at her in May, injuring her finger.
      Two other women have made similar claims against the footballer.
      Antony has been granted an indefinite leave of absence from United amid the serious allegations made against him.
      Gabriela led calls for the £150,000-a-week star to be dropped from the squad in an exclusive interview with The Sun on Sunday.
      Antony denies any wrongdoing and gave a tearful TV interview in which he said: “I know the truth and it will come out.

      Man Utd, Arsenal and Liverpool ‘to rival City in race for £50m-rated Brentford star after red-hot start to 2023-24’

      by

      MANCHESTER CITY are facing competition from three Premier League rivals for Brentford’s Aaron Hickey.Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United have joined the race and are ready to make bids for the £50million-rated Scottish defender.

      The 21-year-old full-back has been in remarkable form for both club and country – attracting interest from a the Premier League’s big-hitters in the process.
      SunSport exclusively revealed earlier this year that City were chasing Hickey, who was then rated at £30m.
      And Pep Guardiola remains keen on the Bees star, despite seeing his side win six out of six in a flawless start to the season.
      But it won’t be easy, with the Mirror reporting title rivals Arsenal and Liverpool, as well as neighbours United interested too.

      German giants Bayern Munich who already poached Harry Kane from the Prem this summer, are also keen.
      And Hickey’s performances have seen his price-tag continue to rise too, with Brentford set to demand at least £50m.
      Bees boss Thomas Frank will be gutted if he loses another key asset with Rico Henry sidelined due to a serious knee injury, and suspended talisman Ivan Toney set to depart in January.
      Frank spoke about Hickey’s versatility and importance in the Bees squad.

      He said: “With Aaron there is a lot of talk about whether he is a right back or a left-back, but I am in that privileged position that he can play on both sides and will most likely go on the left.
      “He is both-footed and has huge ability, we don’t have that many full-backs so he is very important.
      “He is a player we signed a year ago with big ambitions and his future and it is going in the right direction for him.”
      Gunners boss Mikel Arteta has made it clear how much he rates Hickey’s ability to play on either flank and is ready to fight for his signature.
      United meanwhile are desperate to add to their full-backs with Luke Shaw and Aaron Wan-Bissaka suffering injuries.
      Liverpool are keen to reboot what Jurgen Klopp is calling ‘Liverpool 2.0’ with youthful talent and Hickey fits the bill perfectly.
      The Brentford star started out as a left-back for Hearts before making his way to the Serie A side Bologna in 2020.
      Hickey then made his debut in 2022 for the Premier League and has since made a remarkable start under Frank. More

      England star Rashford, 25, and a gran driving another car were lucky to escape injury on Saturday night when he wrecked his £700,000 Rolls-Royce Wraith.

      And to top off the luxury feel, the interior boasts a galaxy ceiling with hundreds of twinkling stars and curtains for privacy.

      The England ace had just left United’s training ground in Carrington at around midnight on his way home from his side’s 1-0 Premier League win at Burnley.
      The collision sent his 2.5-ton vehicle — which has a top speed of 155mph — into the post.

      After his crash, Rashford posted a message to fans on social media.
      It read: “3 points on the road! I’m alright guys thanks for the messages.”
      United commented: “Marcus is fine. It was an accidental collision. Thankfully, both were uninjured.”
      Cops have since announced they will not be investigating any further, having breathalysed both drivers at the scene.
      On Monday Rash was snapped entering Carrington in another Roller he owns – his £560,000 Rolls-Royce Cullinan Blue Shadow.

      Man Utd, Arsenal and Chelsea queue up for Victor Osimhen transfer after shocking Napoli TikTok video caused furious row

      by

      PREMIER LEAGUE giants are on red alert after Victor Osimhen threatened to sue his club Napoli for mocking him.The Serie A champions posted two shocking TikTok videos, one ridiculing the Nigerian striker for missing a penalty and another branding him a “coconut” — widely viewed as a racial slur.

      Osimhen’s agent Roberto Calenda fumed: “We reserve the right to take legal action and any useful initiative to protect Victor.
      “What happened on Napoli’s official profile is not acceptable.
      “A video mocking Victor was first made public and then belatedly deleted.
      “A serious fact that causes very serious damage to the player and adds to the treatment the boy is suffering.”

      Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal are monitoring the situation.
      But European heavyweights Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are also interested should Napoli be forced to sell their £150million-rated superstar.
      Osimhen, 24, scored 26 league goals to help Napoli win their first league title since 1990 last season.
      But he missed a penalty in Sunday’s 0-0 draw at Bologna before berating manager Rudi Garcia for hauling him off four minutes before the end of the game.

      And a bizarre video emerged on Napoli’s official TikTok page in the aftermath, showing Osimhen appealing for the spot-kick with a sped-up dubbed voice saying “gimme penalty please” before smashing the ball wide.
      A second video, allegedly also from Napoli’s account, labelled Osimhen a “coconut”.
      Osimhen has removed all references to Napoli on his Instagram account, including deleting numerous pictures.
      He was also filmed snubbing his team-mates’ handshakes as he arrived at the training ground ahead of last night’s 4-1 win over Udinese.
      Despite Calenda’s legal threat, Osimhen started the Serie A battle.
      He was taken off penalty duty, with Piotr Zielinski scoring from the spot for the opener.
      But Osimhen notched the second goal, drawing cheers from the crowd. He was subbed in the 63rd minute.
      Napoli rejected a summer offer of about £120m for Osimhen from Saudi side Al-Hilal.

      Three different women have made accusations about the £85 million former Ajax ace – but he has strongly denied them all.
      Now, Antony will voluntarily take questions from Greater Manchester Police and has agreed to hand over his phone for examination.
      Officers in Brazil allowed him to return to England after he fully co-operated with their enquiries and stated they do not require any more information from him.
      On September 10, United announced that the player was being granted time away from the club on full pay to focus on clearing his name.
      READ MORE MAN UTD NEWS
      That process will now remain on-going so the 23-year-old will not be available to Erik ten Hag for the Red Devils’ forthcoming fixtures.
      A total of four alleged attacks are described in a police report seen by ESPN.
      Last night, Antony returned to Manchester from Brazil’s Sao Paulo airport as he prepares to face police over allegations that he attacked a former lover.
      A source said: “Antony is adamant he has done nothing wrong and wants to sit down with officers and let them ask him questions.

      “He has nothing to hide and will hand over anything they want to see including his mobile phone.
      “He wants to be exonerated as quickly as possible so he can get on with his football career again without any distractions.”
      He is accused by his ex Gabriela Cavallin of attacking her on January 15 in a Manchester hotel.
      She alleged that he headbutted and punched her, damaging a breast implant when she was carrying Antony’s child around 16 weeks into her pregnancy.
      Last week, Cavallin posted an emotional tribute to the baby she lost with the footballer.
      In an Instagram story, the 22-year-old DJ insisted she’s “stronger” after having a miscarriage just over a year ago.
      Gabriela’s heartbreaking tribute came shortly after her chauffeur spoke to Brazilian cops as part of the probe into the winger’s domestic abuse allegations.
      The driver claimed he received a phone call from the social media influencer who told him: “Antony is hitting me,” according to Extra.
      Earlier this month, Gabriela urged Old Trafford bosses to ban Antony from playing while investigations take place in Sao Paulo and Manchester.
      Cavallin says she dated the Brazil World Cup ace on and off for two years and lived with him in Amsterdam while he played for Ajax.
      Antony denies any wrongdoing and recently gave a tearful TV interview in which he said: “I know the truth and it will come out.

      How new Man Utd star Hannibal Mejbri moved to club at 16 after ‘trauma’ and would have been doctor if dad got his way

      by

      HANNIBAL MEJBRI is Manchester United’s new cult hero – after shrugging off “trauma” at his old club aged 16 and family pressure to become a doctor.The midfielder, 20, is now treating fans when he could easily have been treating patients in what he hopes is a breakthrough season.

      And despite being a playmaker, he has an astonishing stat to back up his terrier-like reputation with Old Trafford supporters.
      He averages 100 pressures per 90 minutes – 21.3 more than anyone else in the Premier League.
      But it could have been so different – both on and off the field.
      Hannibal’s father Lotfi Mejbri has explained how the French-born player’s spell at his previous team, Monaco, turned sour.

      Mejbri Senior told Le Parisien: “Something bad happened. For our family, it was very hard to live. It’s a real shock, a trauma. 
      “There were mistakes made and, from there, I consider the relationship of trust between the club and our family destroyed.”
      And it’s also the starlet’s dad who admits to playing the lead role in hoping his son had switched careers to train as a doctor or lawyer.
      He said: “Even if he does [make it as a footballer], I do not want him to have a chickpea for a brain in his head.”

      There’s no sign of that as Mejbri Jnr has built on the success of his loan spell with Championship side Birmingham last season.
      He’s only made five Premier League appearances so far.
      And although he’s certainly not got a chickpea for a brain, he might hope to emulate the success United enjoyed when they had a Little Pea for a striker.
      Mexico legend Javier Hernandez – nicknamed “Chicharito”, meaning Little Pea – won two Prem titles at Old Trafford from 2010-15.
