      Maguire announced earlier this month that he was no longer the Red Devils’ skipper.
      He has since been replaced by Bruno Fernandes, who will wear the armband this coming season.
      Ten Hag has claimed that losing the captaincy will benefit Maguire, but Yorke disagrees.
      He told OLBG: “When captaincy is taken off of you, it probably means your time is up at the club.

      “Harry Maguire is a high-profile player, to be stripped of the captaincy of your everyday team is a slap in the face.
      “It will diminish his ego and make him feel upset. I don’t see any comeback when that happens.
      “I’ve been in football long enough for that to mean that your time is up. Maguire doesn’t have the authority he once had, players see through that and will undermine him.
      “They won’t disrespect Maguire, don’t get me wrong, but players won’t see him in the same light when he was the main figure on and off the pitch.

      “It’s one of those things that don’t usually happen, but when you’re that high-profile of a player, it can happen.”
      Maguire has been linked with a move away from United this summer as he looks for regular football.
      The 30-year-old is keen to play more frequently in a bid to cement his place in England’s squad for next year’s Euros.

      West Ham have been linked with a move for Maguire and have reportedly held talks over a potential transfer. More

      by

      The Serie A outfit demand a whopping £86million to let the striker go but the Red Devils insist they won’t go over £60m.
      However, Atalanta appear to be preparing for life without the Denmark international as they are close to landing Almeria star El Bilal Toure.
      According to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, the two sides reached an agreement on Monday and Gian Piero Gasperini’s side wants to sign Toure by the end of the day.
      The Italians are set to splash a record €28m (£24m), plus €3m (£2.6m) in add-ons for the striker.

      The deal will also include a 15 per cent sell-on clause to Almeria with their top scorer from last season signing a long-term contract in Bergamo.
      This poses as a major transfer blow for Everton, who held advanced talks with the 21-year-old over the weekend.
      United will be hoping that helps their bid to land Holjlund, who is very keen to move to Old Trafford and has agreed personal terms with the club.
      This comes after manager Erik ten Hag revealed the Manchester giants are “making progress” amid their search for a new centre-forward.

      Ten Hag said: “We’re making progress but we know how it works and when we have him, we will tell you directly.
      “The only thing I can say is we’ll do everything in our power to get it done.
      “If it was up to me, yeah, as soon as possible, the earlier the better, because we have to integrate him in the team and the way we play.
      “In an ideal situation, he was already here. But you do not always get ideal situations as a manager and you have to deal with the situation.” More

      According to the Daily Mail, Fenerbahce expect Bayindir to leave this summer.
      The Turkish club have been in talks with Croatia No1 Dominik Livakovic, who plays for Dinamo Zagreb, as replacement.
      Bayindir, 25, would only cost around £5million and would have to accept his role as back-up to Onana.
      The 6ft 6in keeper made his full debut for Turkey in 2021 and currently has five full international caps.

      England international Dean Henderson is set to leave United and join Nottingham Forest.
      There are talks whether this is a permanent move or another loan spell with an obligation to buy this time.
      With Henderson likely to be heading out the door, that would leave 37-year old Tom Heaton as United’s No2.
      However Heaton has also been linked with a move to Luton Town with an opportunity to be their No1.

      Heaton played the full 90 minutes in Man Utd’s 2-0 pre-season victory against Arsenal – making multiple impressive saves.
      When asked about his future at United, Heaton said: “It’s unsure at the minute, I’ve got to wait until I speak to the manager and see where we’re at.
      “I love it here. I have been part of this football club for a long time, but I can’t lie, I also love playing.
      “We will have a sit down and chat and see where we go.” More

      Man Utd fans joke ‘bet Jonny Evans feels old’ as unknown squad sent to face Ryan Reynolds’ Wrexham

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED fans joked “bet Jonny Evans feels old” after the Northern Irishman was named in their youthful squad to face Wrexham tonight.Erik ten Hag’s side will take on the League Two new-boys in San Diego this evening without any of their senior first-team stars.

      The match will provide an opportunity for the Red Devils’ youngsters to shine, with Evans there as an experienced head to help them out.
      Evans signed a short-term contract at United last week after impressing while training with Ten Hag’s side to gain fitness.
      The arrangement is seen as mutually beneficial, with the 35-year-old regaining match sharpness while providing invaluable guidance for United’s starlets.
      Evans is by far the oldest member of the Red Devils’ 15-man squad for tonight’s match.
      READ MORE MAN UTD NEWS
      The former Leicester defender is the only player over the age of 20 to be involved.
      After learning of United’s youthful travelling party, one fan joked: “Bet Jonny Evans feels old.”
      While a second tweeted: “I take that Jonny Evans is the captain for tomorrow early hours in morning.”
      A third fan joked: “Jonny Evans will be the baby sitter.”

      Another added: “Jonny Evans must be feeling embarrassed somehow with our kids.”
      United’s initial 15-man squad features goalkeepers Elyh Harrison and Dermot Mee, as well as defenders Marc Jurado, Will Fish, Sonny Aljofree, Willy Kambwala, Logan Pye and Evans.
      Isak Hansen-Aaroen, Toby Collyer and Maxi Oyedele make up the midfield, with Shola Shoretire, Joe Hugill, Charlie McNeill and Mateo Mejia available in attack.
      While this 15-man squad has travelled to San Diego specifically for this match, a number of other young fringe players could temporarily leave United’s first team camp to take part in the Wrexham match.
      These could include Hannibal Mejbri, Alvaro Fernandez and Dan Gore.
      Evans featured as a half-time substitute in United’s 1-0 win over Lyon in Edinburgh last week.
      But he was not involved in their 2-0 triumph over Arsenal on Saturday, and won’t play against Real Madrid on Wednesday evening.
      Speaking about Evans, Ten Hag said: “I think he helped us, as you said, [with] younger players, but also for numbers here.
      “Not all the internationals were in and we had to manage the load from the players so that was really useful.
      “Jonny wants to stay fit, he still wants a career. Last week I think he played a very good game against Lyon and you could see how he was mentoring the younger players and I think he was pushing the younger players to a higher level and that can be really helpful.
      “So I’m happy we bring him in. He will be tomorrow in that game. So I’m happy he wants to do that and I think we help him as well.”

      Evans first joined Man United as a teenager in 2004, before debuting in their first team squad two years later.
      He went on to make 198 appearances for the Red Devils, winning a trio of Premier League titles and the Champions League before leaving for West Brom in 2015.

      Man Utd legend calls on Ten Hag to snub Hojlund transfer as he names ‘proper number nine’ club should sign instead

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED legend Teddy Sheringham has urged his former club to chase Napoli star Victor Osimhen instead of Atalanta ace Rasmus Hojlund.United manager Erik ten Hag is desperate to sign a centre-forward to spearhead his attack during the summer transfer window and Hojlund is understood to be the favourite choice.

      However, talks over the Denmark international’s release clause have hit a snag with Atalanta demanding a whopping £86million and the Red Devils not willing to go over £60m.
      The Serie A giants are sticking to their valuation of the striker, who has agreed personal terms with the Manchester giants.
      Sheringham insists United should turn their focus away from the 20-year-old, who has four years left on his Atalanta contract and registered only nine goals in 32 league matches last season.
      Instead, the former England international insists Ten Hag should go for Osimhen, who finished as top scorer in Italy with 26 goals in 32 games and led Napoli to their first Scudetto in 33 years.

      The 1999 Treble winner, though, admitted Tottenham superstar Harry Kane would be the “ideal solution”.
      But a move for Kane is unlikely as Spurs chairman Daniel Levy has slapped a £100million fee for the 29-year-old, who turns 30 on Friday, and is not keen to sell to a Premier League rival.
      Therefore, the star striker faces three choices as he could either run his contract down until June, sign an extension or accept to be sold with Bayern Munich very interested.
      Sheringham told SunSport via Lord Ping: “Manchester United have always brought in top, top quality strikers to help them challenge for the title.

      “I really think that Harry Kane would be the ideal solution for Manchester United, but they may have to wait another season to get him.
      “If Kane is the player that United really want, then I would wait for him to become available.
      “We’ve all read the stories that broke over the weekend about the club selling him this summer unless he signs a new deal, and we also know that Daniel Levy would prefer to sell him outside of the Premier League, but who knows what will happen with Harry Kane this summer.
      “If he stays at Tottenham you know that Kane will be professional, focussed and will give you a 100% in every single game. I don’t know what is happening with that situation.
      “It seems like for the last few summers, there has been doubts about his future at Tottenham.
      “It looks like United may have to look elsewhere for a forward this summer.
      “I’m not sure about Hojlund at Atalanta but I do really like Osimhen at Napoli – he looks like he knows where the goal is. He is a proper number nine that leads the line.”

      Harry Kane told signing new Tottenham deal this summer would be WORST thing he could do in shock advice from club legend

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED and Tottenham legend Teddy Sheringham has urged Harry Kane not to sign a new deal with Spurs.Kane has one more year left in his contract with the North Londoners and seems uninterested in penning fresh terms as he is instead keen on moving to Bayern Munich.

      Sheringham agrees with that decision as he insists an extension would be the “worst thing” the England captain could do this summer as that may prolong his trophyless streak.
      The former centre-forward claims the 29-year-old, who turns 30 on Friday, is in a “very similar” place he was in 1997 and hinted he should follow in his footsteps that led to United and a Treble triumph.
      However, the 57-year-old urged the Tottenham and England record goalscorer to avoid Bayern, who pose as his likeliest destination if he leaves Ange Postecoglou’s side.
      The ex-England international claims Kane would be a better fit at Real Madrid as the Bundesliga works best for rising English stars rather than those in their prime.

      Sheringham told Lord Ping: “I really don’t know what is going to happen with Harry Kane this summer.
      “I assumed that he would stay and see out his contract, but the reports coming out of the club over the weekend have indicated that if he won’t sign a new deal, he will be sold.
      “Let’s assume that he stays. There is a chance that Ange Postecoglou could come into the club and excel. If that were to happen and he could convince Kane that his future is at the club, then you wouldn’t be surprised if he signed a new deal at the end of the season.
      “I think the worst thing that Harry Kane could do would be to sign a new contract this summer. He could be in a situation where things don’t go to plan with Ange and then he’s in a cycle where he has to wait for a new manager to come in.
      Most read in Football
      “If he goes into the season without a new deal, he can watch how everything unfolds. Harry Kane will still be completely focussed on scoring goals for Tottenham and doing his best for the club.
      “The dream scenario would be for him to perform well next season and be convinced that his future remains at the club.
      “Harry is in a very similar situation to where I was with the club. He will want the best players playing alongside him and he will want to be playing against the best players in the Champions League, obviously that isn’t happening at Tottenham this season.
      “I really hope that he stays, but I don’t expect him to make the decision anytime soon.

      “I wouldn’t go to Bayern if I was Harry Kane. I don’t see the German league as that much of an attractive proposition for where Kane is at his age.
      “I can understand younger players going over there – we’ve seen players like [Jadon] Sancho and [Jude] Bellingham go there with a clear development plan, but Kane is in a different stage of his career.
      “What will Kane get out of joining Bayern? He’ll probably win a title – he’ll have Champions League football. I don’t think that is the move that I would be looking for in my prime.
      “I can see the appeal of Real Madrid. If he had the opportunity to go there, with the sexiness of playing for the biggest team in Spain, a team always amongst the Champions League favourites etc. That has much more appeal than Bayern.” More

      Man Utd in huge Harry Kane transfer boost as Spurs owner tells Levy he MUST sell star if massive new deal is rejected

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED have been told they would have to pay Harry Kane a whopping £30million a year to sign him.The £577,000-a-week salary would make Tottenham’s England captain by far the highest-paid player in the Premier League and smash the Red Devils’ wage structure.

      United’s current top earner is Marcus Rashford, who earns £325,000 a week after signing a new deal.
      Tottenham have offered Kane, 30, on Friday, a new £400,000-a-week contract, which the striker has not signed.
      German champs Bayern Munich are also in the race to land him but have had  two offers of £60m and £70m turned down.
      United began the summer with Kane their No 1 target.

      And they were recently boosted to hear Spurs owner Joe Lewis does not want to let their 280-goal all-time top scorer run his deal down and leave on a free in a year.
      But Old Trafford boss Erik ten Hag is keen to avoid one player earning considerably more than anyone else.
      As it is, United need to generate any transfer fee from sales, due to Financial Fair Play restrictions after buying Mason Mount and Andre Onana for a total initial outlay of £98.8m.
      Bayern are expected to make another Kane offer, while reports claim Saudis Al-Hilal are preparing a bid.

      Spurs team-mate Son Heung-min, 31, said: “Harry is always professional.

      “There’s so much news around but he’s captain and  working with the team. He doesn’t show any distraction.
      “But I don’t know anything. Probably Harry doesn’t know. We just have to wait.”
      Kane is also set to sign a new boot deal after his Nike contract was understood to have expired — he wore blacked-out boots as Spurs trained on Saturday in front of 6,000 fans in Bangkok.

      Man Utd star Amad Diallo spotted limping out of stadium on crutches in potential huge blow to transfer plans

      by

      However, the winger didn’t last long as he appeared to have twisted his ankle and was taken off by manager Erik ten Hag before limping to a medical room.
      After full-time, the Ivory Coast international was seen walking out on crutches with his ankle strapped.
      That could put the brakes on a potential summer move for the 21-year-old.
      But the winger would later release a positive update on Instagram about his condition.

      He wrote: “I feared the worst,ALHAMDOULILAH nothing serious 🙌🏾 back soon Inch’ALLAH.”
      Diallo has spent the majority of his two-year stint at Old Trafford out on loan.
      The Ivorian initially joined Rangers last year but struggled with the pace and physicality of the Scottish Premiership after just returning from injury.
      But the forward bounced back last season while playing at Sunderland as he amassed 14 goals and four assists in 42 appearances.

      Amad received an opportunity to impress Ten Hag after his impressive loan spell at the Stadium of Light and was thus called up for pre-season in the US.
      However, another loan move for the youngster wasn’t ruled out by United.

      And that is why Sunderland, Leeds and Southampton have been keeping tabs during the summer transfer window.
      However, Amad’s latest injury set-back has raised a few doubts over an imminent move.
      Nevertheless, United have yet to release an official medical update on the player. More
