      Kudus, 22, has enjoyed a stellar season in the Dutch capital – scoring 18 times in all competitions.
      The versatile forward came close to joining Everton last summer.
      But he now has the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal and Newcastle on his tail.
      Kudus, also being watched by Tottenham, has already revealed his desire to move to the Premier League.

      And a transfer now looks imminent after Kudus’ agent confirmed he has turned down a new contract offer from Ajax.
      Jennifer Mendelewitsch claims interest in her client is extremely high after he also starred for Ghana at the World Cup.
      And Kudus wants to strike while the iron’s hot as Prem giants circle for his signature.
      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.”
      One man who feels Kudus can be a smash hit in England is Dutch legend Marco van Basten – who is adamant the forward is better than £83million Man Utd winger Antony.
      Van Basten told Ziggo Sport: “I find Mohammed Kudus a much better football player than Antony.
      “Antony has his skills but he is confused with the things he is trying to do.
      “Kudus has much better technique and knows what he is doing. Antony may be faster but Kudus is smarter and more technical.
      “He is much more of a footballer, you can place him anywhere on the pitch, an all-rounder for the team.
      “In fact, I like him much better than Antony. He’s more fun to watch play.” More

      Nine players who could leave Man Utd in summer transfer clearout including Martial, Maguire and forgotten £35m man

      by

      MANCHESTER United are ready for a huge summer clearout with as many as nine players set to leave the club.Erik Ten Hag will look to continue to implement his philosophy and a number of players are deemed surplus to requirements.

      The United manager is one point away from securing Champions League football, has already won the Carabao cup, and will hope to stop Manchester City from emulating United’s 1999 Treble by winning June’s FA Cup final against their local rivals.
      But with a number of players hanging around from previous regimes, here are the nine players Ten Hag could axe from his squad this summer.
      Donny Van De Beek

      Big things were expected when United laid out £35 million for Van De Beek back in the summer of 2020.
      READ MORE ON MAN UTD
      The Dutchman played a pivotal role in Ajax’s run to the 2019-20 Champions League semi-final, scoring the only goal in Ajax’s first leg 1-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur.
      He was seen as one of the gems of the team alongside the likes of Matthijs De Ligt, Frenkie De Jong and Hakim Ziyech.
      But the Dutchman has never really found a place for himself in the United side, racking up just two goals and two assists in his 60 appearances for the club.

      The midfielder was bombed out on loan to Frank Lampard’s Everton last season where he underwhelmed as the Toffees narrowly avoided the drop.
      Most read in Football
      The injured midfielder looks set to return before the end of the season and his former Ajax gaffer Ten Hag may yet give Donny another chance.
      However United will look to recoup some of their £35 million outlay if the right offer arrives.
      Harry Maguire

      Maguire, 30, has endured a season to forget for United after losing his place in the side despite being club captain.
      The signing of Lisandro Martinez ushered in Ten Hag’s decision to drop Maguire as a first-choice centre back and he is yet to win his place back in the side despite the diminutive Argentinian’s injury.
      Ten Hag has instead opted to play Victor Lindelof or Luke Shaw as a makeshift centre half to avoid playing the England international.
      Maguire even found himself being used as an object of ridicule in Ghanaian parliament last December when an MP described his political rival as an “Economic Maguire” to reflect his opponent’s reckless spending policy.
      Maguire cost United a whopping £80million when he signed from Leicester back in 2019 and while United would not recoup anything close to that, a fresh start for Maguire could be best for all parties.
      Anthony Martial

      Martial arrived at United with the pressure of being British football’s most expensive teenager in 2015.
      The £39m transfer even included a clause that would see United pay more if he went on to win the Ballon d’Or, showing just how high hopes were for the Frenchman when he signed.
      An impressive start to life at United saw him score on his debut after coming on as a substitute against bitter rivals Liverpool.
      He’d go on to rack up 14 goals in his debut season and establish himself as one of United’s most important players.
      But injuries have been the story of much of Martial’s United career, meaning he has often found himself on the sidelines instead of nailing down a starting berth.
      It appears Ten Hag has lost patience with the forward through a combination of his inability to stay fit and his attitude on the pitch when he does make it into United’s team.
      He has one year remaining on his contract and United may look to offload him in order to make room for Tottenham’s Harry Kane this summer.
      David De Gea

      Signed by Sir Alex Ferguson back in 2013, De Gea is United’s current highest earner on a whopping £375,000 per week.
      The goalkeeper’s bumper contract runs out in June and reports suggest he would have to take a significant pay cut if he was to extend his stay at Old Trafford.
      But Ten Hag’s philosophy of playing the ball out from the back combined with De Gea’s increasing tendency for high-profile errors means his position as first-choice United keeper is under threat.
      United are looking at Porto shot-stopper Diogo Costa and Brentford’s David Raya as potential replacements for the Spain international.
      The combination of De Gea’s need to take a pay cut as well as doubts over his No1 status may mean the keeper will leave for free this summer.
      Scott McTominay

      The United academy product has made 22 appearances in all competitions this season, proving to be a reliable player for Ten Hag when called upon.
      But United fans will feel the Scot could be upgraded upon, having seen the transformative effect a world-class defensive midfielder in the shape of Casemiro has had on their team.
      United have kept tabs on West Ham’s Declan Rice amid claims he may have played his last game at the London Stadium.
      With West Ham slapping a £100 million price tag on Rice, United might cash in on reported interest from Newcastle in McTominay to fund a move for Rice.
      Alex Telles

      United loaned Telles to Sevilla at the start of this season, having run out of patience with the left back’s form.
      The Brazil international has made 50 appearances in a United shirt since signing for £15.4 million from Porto in 2020.
      Despite scoring eight goals during his time at United, it’s the defensive side of his game that has seen him deemed surplus to requirements.
      Eric Bailly

      Bailly established himself as a favourite of Jose Mourinho’s after signing for £30 million in 2016.
      The Ivorian international was named in the Europa League squad of the season as Mourinho’s men won the 2017 trophy, although, he was suspended for the final.
      Persistent injuries have meant that he has since struggled to hold down a first-XI place in recent seasons and he has spent this year on loan at Marseille.
      His contract expires next summer and United will be keen to get a fee for him if possible.
      Wout Weghorst

      The man on loan from Burnley arrived at Old Trafford this January to bolster United’s attacking options.
      The Dutch forward caught the eye of United bosses after impressing on loan at Besiktas, scoring nine goals in 18 games during his time in Turkey.
      But he’s failed to replicate that at United, scoring once in 24 games.
      Given his scoring record, it’s highly unlikely United will make the move permanent.
      Marcel Sabitzer

      The Austria international was seen as one of Europe’s hottest talents when he moved to Bayern Munich back in 2021.
      But he struggled to establish himself in the Bayern side ahead of the likes of Joshua Kimmich.
      The midfielder was brought in on an opportunistic loan in January in order to deputise for an injured Christian Eriksen.

      Despite making 18 appearances this season, Sabitzer has often found these opportunities coming from the bench.
      With Eriksen fit again and United’s rumoured interest in the likes of Declan Rice, United may not make the move permanent. More

      Man Utd star is ‘trying to persuade Neymar to join’ after club hold talks with PSG over Brazil superstar

      Now L’Equipe claim talks have taken place between the Old Trafford club and Paris Saint-Germain over the possible blockbuster transfer.
      It is suggested the French giants are open to selling the world’s most expensive footballer – which could leave Kylian Mbappe as the undisputed main man at the club with Lionel Messi also set to depart the Parc des Princes.
      And the report adds that one key United man is doing his bit to lure Neymar to Manchester.
      Casemiro plays with the £198million superstar for the Brazil national team – along with current United men Antony and Fred.
      READ MORE ON MAN UTD
      And as his incredible debut season draws to a close, he is hoping to have another big impact by convincing Neymar to make the switch so they can play alongside each other at club level, too.
      Neymar, 31, is undoubtedly one of the most talented footballers of his generation and would bring plenty of flair and trophy-winning experience to Erik ten Hag’s squad.
      One Red Devils fan labelled their instrumental midfielder “Agent Casemiro” for his tactics.
      However, reports suggest as many as four Premier League clubs are chasing after Neymar’s signature – including Champions League-bound Newcastle.

      The injury-hit PSG forward has managed 13 goals and 11 assists in just 20 Ligue 1 games this season.
      However, he turns 32 next season and currently earns a staggering £600,000-plus per week under his current contract that runs until 2025.
      And other supporters want Casemiro to tap up fellow Brazilian sensation Vinicius Junior instead of Neymar.
      The Real Madrid winger is in red-hot form but could be looking to leave Spain after the latest horrific onslaught of disgusting racist abuse.

      The Austrian midfielder has made a good impact since his January loan move from Bayern Munich.
      Sabitzer, 29, has three goals in 18 appearances under Erik ten Hag.
      But injury means his season is already over – and potentially his Red Devils career.
      United are keen on making several big signings this summer.

      And money is tight amid an ongoing takeover saga.
      However, should Ten Hag wish to keep Sabitzer past his loan, Sky Sports says it will cost him £22m.

      And the Germans are more than open to doing business as they prepare a mini-rebuild.

      One said: “Good player but always injured, then useless. Bayern knows this and wants to sell.”
      Another declared: “No thanks, he’s done a job but has hardly justified a permanent move.”
      One noted: “Bayern bought him for £12m, barely played him and now want nearly double. Joke.”
      Another added: “Good stop-gap while Eriksen was injured but can’t see the need for him.” More

      Man Utd to dump Anthony Martial as Ten Hag and board lose all patience after star’s latest sulk

      It was another underwhelming performance from the forward, who has just eight goals in 27 appearances this season. Old Trafford’s hierarchy now want him out — and boss Erik ten Hag agrees.
      Martial’s tap-in for the opener in the 2-0 win against Wolves ten days ago was his only goal in the last ten games.
      It is his body language and lack of movement which has frustrated fans.
      There were also raised eyebrows amongst staff recently when the 27-year-old chose to wear gloves while playing at Old Trafford on an otherwise mild day.
      READ MORE MAN UTD NEWS
      Martial was just 19 when he joined the club from Monaco for £36million in 2015, then a record fee for a teenager.
      With add ons the fee had potential to rise to £58million.
      He had a good first season netting 17 times and in 2019-20 he scored a career best 23.
      But since then he has only hit 16 goals across the last three seasons and is constantly in and out the treatment room.

      Last season he was farmed out on loan to Sevilla who were happy to send him back after scoring just once in 12 appearances.
      Ten Hag has constantly defended him even claiming the team is better when he plays.
      On Saturday the Dutchman did not publicly rebuke Martial for going down the tunnel after blanking the boss saying that he later returned to the bench.
      But it was not a good look.
      With one year left on the player’s contract and United in desperate need for someone to help out Marcus Rashford on the goals front they will listen to any offers.
      United’s main summer transfer target remains Tottenham’s all-time top goalscorer Harry Kane who they are still confident of landing in a £100million deal. More
