      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.

      “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.

      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

      Chelsea ‘in talks with Ajax over transfer for former Man Utd target with personal terms nearly agreed’

      CHELSEA have contacted Ajax over a move for Mohammed Kudus.Kudus stood out for the Eredivisie giants last season, despite their poor campaign that saw them finishing third, and attracted interest from Europe’s top bidders.

      Manchester United were interested in landing the attacking midfielder this summer but ended their pursuit after signing Mason Mount from the Blues.
      And according to The Athletic’s David Ornstein, the West Londoners have now swooped in to land the Ghana international.
      Chelsea and Ajax have held talks but no offer has been tabled from the Premier League giants.
      However, Mauricio Pochettino’s side has also contacted the 22-year-old.

      And personal terms are close to being agreed with Kudus, who appears keen to move in the summer.
      The Ghanaian’s agent Jennifer Mendelewitsch put potential suitors on red alert in May by admitting that her client would like a new challenge.
      Mendelewitsch told De Telegraaf: “I think it is best for both Ajax and Mohammed that he makes a transfer now.
      “Now is the right time. He has ignored a proposal to extend his contract until the summer of 2026.

      “What I can say is that after the World Cup and this season there is a lot of interest in Kudus.”
      Kudus has two more years left in his contract and Ajax have previously demanded £40million to let him go.
      He joined Ajax from Nordsjaelland in 2020 and quickly rose to prominence in Amsterdam.
      The versatile forward has since scored 23 goals and provided 11 assists in 84 appearances for the Dutch giants.
      And that also led to two Eredivisie titles as well as the Dutch Cup in 2021. More

      Vieira has endured a tough start to his career in an Arsenal shirt after arriving for £34million from Porto last season.
      The attacking midfielder has struggled to hold down a starting berth in the side, making 22 appearances and registering one goal and two assists for the Gunners.
      The Portuguese youngster will face increased competition for places this season with the arrival of Kai Havertz for £65million pushing him further down the pecking order.
      Arsenal will continue their pre-season tour of America in a friendly against Barcelona in LA on Thursday. More

      Ten Hag cast Telles out of his squad after taking over last year, with the left-back joining Sevilla on loan for the season.
      The 30-year-old made 38 appearances for the Spanish club and helped them win the Europa League.
      But he is now set for a very different challenge after finalising a transfer to Al-Nassr.
      It is believed Telles will earn £7million a year at the Saudi outfit, with Al Nassr paying United £4m for his services.
      READ MORE ON MAN UTD
      Ten Hag has been trying to offload fringe players in an attempt to build transfer funds, and Telles was an obvious option given his last appearance came in the last game of the 2021-22 season.
      He could be joined at Al-Nassr by another forgotten man at United, Eric Bailly, who is in England training on his own.
      Bailly came to United from Villarreal for £30million but never really established himself in the side after a promising first season due to injuries.
      The defender is not expected to command a fee.

      He has not played for United since December 2021 and spent last season on loan in Marseille.
      The Red Devils could also raise funds by selling both Dean Henderson and Anthony Elanga to Nottingham Forest.
      Goalkeeper Henderson would cost £30million with winger Elanga costing £15million. More

      Bizarrely, there was also a post-game penalty shoot-out despite United’s victory at the MetLife Stadium.
      United also triumphed in that, with a 5-3 shootout victory.
      Despite the fixture officially being a friendly – there was plenty of needle on and off the field.
      United defender Lisandro Martinez caused a ruckus after wiping out Bukayo Saka with a reckless first half tackle.

      The foul enraged Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard – with the two going at it as Saka was left on a heap on the floor.
      Martinez received a yellow for his troubles, but it seems the bad temper on the pitch affected those in the crowd.
      A video emerged shortly after the game of two fans fighting in the stands – although it is unclear which teams both men supported.
      The video, which was shot from another stand showed a man in blue throwing a punch at a man wearing an Arsenal shirt.

      The two were then separated by bystanders, with the man in blue being dragged away from the scene.
      The 2-0 loss to Manchester United was Arsenal’s first defeat of pre-season after a 1-1 draw with Nurnberg and a 5-0 victory over an MLS All Star team managed by Wayne Rooney.
      United meanwhile continued their winning ways having beaten Leeds and Lyon in previous outings.
      United will play Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney owned Wrexham on Wednesday with United confirming they will play a “youth focused” team against the League Two side. More
