      De Gea and United have been unable to agree terms on a new deal, leaving his future at the club unclear.
      The Spaniard had reportedly signed a contract extension before the club backed out of the deal.
      United’s hesitancy is said to have been caused by Erik ten Hag being “unconvinced” that De Gea should be his number one.
      However, the Red Devils’ hesitancy means that they are now set to start pre-season with Tom Heaton between the sticks.

      De Gea himself has appeared to hit out at the reports, though, by cryptically tweeting a yawning emoji.
      His post has caused debate amongst unimpressed United fans, with one commenting: “We’re finished. God.”
      Another wrote: “Oh boy we’re in for a long two days.”
      A third also added: “Oh there’s about to be draaaama.”

      One more said: “Ahh, we’ve lost. We have LOST.”
      Meanwhile, another fumed: “The way the club has dealt with his contract is embarrassing! If you want to replace him then do it with a bit of respect and dignity.”
      De Gea has made 545 appearances for United since signing from Atletico Madrid in 2011.

      In the 12 years since, he has won eight major trophies, including a league title and the Europa League.
      United have so far been able to sign a replacement for De Gea, either, despite being linked with multiple targets.
      Talks are understood to be progressing to sign first-choice target Andre Onana, with Inter Milan’s transfer chief in England to finalise the deal. More

      Luke Shaw, Raphael Varane and even the currently injured Lisandro Martinez all featured as the kit was made available to purchase.
      However due to his suspension he was absent from any pictures of the new threads shared on social media.
      As a homegrown star, Greenwood would usually be expected to be front and centre of a Manchester United marketing campaign.
      United launched their new home kit for the upcoming season on the club website, with the traditional red shirt available for adults from £110.

      But supporters will not be able to purchase a shirt with Greenwood’s name on the back after it was omitted from the launch.
      All other names from the senior men’s and women’s sides are available, but Greenwood is not included in the list.
      Greenwood, who is expecting a child with his partner this summer, was arrested in January 2022 after a woman made allegations of physical and sexual abuse.
      Greenwood was due to stand trial this year, but all the charges were dropped in February.

      United’s owners are yet to make a decision on the £50million player’s future.
      Greenwood remains under contract at United until 2025 and there has been speculation over a return to the pitch, with his future understood not to be linked to a pending takeover.
      Last week, he was pictured training on a pitch for the first time since his arrest.
      The Sun reported this month that boss Erik ten Hag and most first-team players are willing to give him a second chance.
      A source said: “Like him or not, Mason wants to get back to playing football. It’s the thing he’s best at and the only way for him to successfully rebuild his life.
      “He is fed up with waiting around and he and his team now expect an answer one way or another from United.”

      Gabriela accused Antony of assaulting her four times in a complaint to police in São Paulo.
      In his statement, Antony explained he remained silent until after giving his statement to cops.
      The footballer added he is certain that his innocence will be proven and the damage made to his image “will remain in the past.”
      He wrote: “To friends, fans, and followers,
      Read more sport
      “For your sake, after giving my statement at the police station where the investigation involving my name is being conducted, I would like to speak publicly for the first time since I was falsely accused of assault.
      “I remained silent until this moment so that nothing could interfere with the investigative process, but during all these days my family and I suffered in silence.
      “Even though I was born and raised in a very underprivileged community, I had never been through a situation similar to this one, in which a false accusation of assault generated a prior and unfair public judgement by some people.
      “After the investigation is closed, my innocence will be proven, it being certain that justice will prevail and the damage initially caused to my image will remain in the past.

      “Thank you for the countless messages of support received during this very difficult time.”
      Officers in the Brazilian city opened a probe for domestic violence, threats and bodily injury, reports Brazil’s largest broadcaster Globo.
      Gabriela, 23, is said to have handed over pictures of alleged injuries at a police station in the São Paulo earlier this month.
      A total of four alleged attacks are described in a police report seen by respected sports news site ESPN.
      She says she dated Brazil World Cup ace Antony, also 23, on and off for two years and lived with him in Amsterdam while he played for Ajax.
      She claims the first assault came at a nightclub in São Paulo last July when she was around 17 weeks pregnant with his baby.
      Antony allegedly dragged her out by the arm and hair then pushed her into a car after she ended their romance.
      Gabriela told cops they got back together soon after and she moved with him to Manchester after his transfer to the Red Devils.
      A second alleged attack came at Gabriela’s flat in January.
      The “jealous” star is alleged to have left her needing surgery to fix displaced silicone boob implants.
      Two more alleged assaults followed in England – one witnessed by her friend and Antony’s mother.
      Gabriela also said Antony threatened her after she returned to Brazil last month.
      She has requested “urgent protective measures” against Antony, according to Brazilian media.
      A spokesman for Manchester United said the club does not have any comment.
      The Sun has also contacted Greater Manchester Police and Sao Paulo police for comment.
      The couple’s romance was first made public last year.
      In July, Gabriela shared on social media that she had suffered a miscarriage.
      The baby boy would have have been named Luca Mateo.

      “You could go to Man Utd and not win anything. You can go to Chelsea or anywhere else you want to go. At the moment, City are winning everything.

      And the Gunners’ third bid now looks to have finally seen off competition from the Premier League champions.
      But City are no strangers to forcing rival clubs into paying more for their targets.
      Manchester United and Chelsea have both been on the receiving end of a bidding war with those at the Etihad.
      Here are six examples of Man City ramping up the price of a player by getting involved in a bidding war.

      Fred – Transfer to Man Utd for £52m

      Brazilian international Fred was reportedly set to join Man City in 2018 when they agreed a £44.5m deal with Shakhtar Donetsk.
      In the end, he ended up moving to the red side of Manchester when United trumped their rivals with a £50m bid.
      And while the midfielder has racked up more than 200 appearances for the Red Devils, many supporters would argue he is yet to repay his substantial transfer fee.

      The Italian, 31, who has since left Chelsea for Arsenal, looked set to leave Napoli for Man City in 2018 as the Sky Blues closed in on a £46.5m deal.
      This forced Chelsea into eclipsing them with a late £50m offer as they hijacked City’s negotiations with the midfielder.
      But Guardiola waited patiently for 12 months, before snapping up Rodri the following summer – with the Spaniard going on to star for the English champions.

      Harry Maguire – Transfer to Man Utd for £80m

      Harry Maguire was a wanted man in the summer of 2019 as he prepared to leave Leicester.
      Man City were interested in acquiring the England international, but refused to exceed £65m.
      United then paid a considerable amount more than their city rivals – clinching a record £80m deal.
      And it’s safe to say it has not worked out for Maguire, who has struggled for form since joining four years ago.
      He looks set to depart Old Trafford this summer after spending much of last season on the bench.
      Cristiano Ronaldo – Transfer to Man Utd for £12.9m

      Cristiano Ronaldo returned for a second stint with Manchester United in 2021.
      But not before he was heavily linked with a STUNNING move to Man City.
      Guardiola’s side were reportedly offered the opportunity to sign the Portuguese legend, before United swooped in to offer Juventus £12.9m for the man who was entering the final year of his contract.
      He scored 27 goals in 54 appearances during his spell back in England, but ultimately ended up leaving in difficult circumstances as the club ripped up his deal following an astonishing interview with Piers Morgan.
      Alexis Sanchez – Swap deal to Man Utd for Henrikh Mkyhitaryan

      Alexis Sanchez joined Man Utd in 2018 after Arsenal agreed a swap deal for Henrikh Mykhitaryan to go the other way.
      But Man City’s interest in the Chilean forced United into offering the player an astonishing £500,000-a-week salary.
      This was nearly DOUBLE the £290,000-a-week City were prepared to pay Sanchez.
      But Guardiola’s men had the last laugh as he bagged just five goals in 45 games for United before leaving for Inter in 2020.
      Declan Rice – Transfer to Arsenal for £105m

      Rice looks set to become the latest player to sign for one of Man City’s Premier League rivals – after the Sky Blues had jacked up the price.

      City’s £90m bid was rejected by West Ham, shortly before Arsenal then stormed in with a £105m offer.
      It remains to be seen whether he will be a success at the Emirates, but there is no denying the Gunners have had to fork over a remarkable fee to secure his services ahead of City. More

      Ten Hag is keen to build on last season’s third place finish, having secured a return to the Champions League in his debut season.
      However, he has so far been able to do any transfer business ahead of the 2023/24 campaign.
      His budget for the summer, though, has now been revealed, with the Daily Star reporting the Dutch manager has been given £100million to spend.
      The report adds that Ten Hag will be able to boost his available funds with player sales, with the budget squeezed by Financial Fair Play regulations.

      United fans are unimpressed with the budget, with one tweeting: “It’s official, we are a joke now.”
      Another supporter added: “It’s sickening.”

      United have been strongly linked with a number of players despite failing to complete a signing.
      The club have seen multiple bids knocked back by Chelsea for Mason Mount and have paused their pursuit after their £55million offer was rejected.

      Chelsea to begin talks with Brighton over Moises Caicedo as they look to beat Man Utd to transfer

      by

      CHELSEA are expected to step up talks over a move for Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo over the next week.The Ecuador international is a key target for new boss Mauricio Pochettino, and the Seagulls have accepted that he could leave this summer.

      Brighton rejected a £70million bid from Arsenal for the 21-year-old in January before tying him down to a new long-term deal following the window.
      Caicedo’s longer deal, and impressive performances since his plea to leave in January, means Chelsea will have to offer a package close to £100million to agree a deal.
      Insiders at Stamford Bridge feel a deal is not close at this stage while Brighton are yet to receive a bid from any club.
      Early talks between the player’s camp and interested parties have begun and been encouraging, though there are no agreements over personal terms in place with any club.

      Manchester United are also keen on the Brighton star, with frustrations growing at Old Trafford over their pursuit of Chelsea’s Mason Mount.
      The Blues have turned down three different bids from Manchester for the England midfielder.
      Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi admitted at the end of his record-breaking season on the south coast that star players were likely to leave.
      He said: “I think it can be the last game of Alexis Mac Allister and Moises Caicedo.”

      De Zerbi has added veteran midfielder James Milner and former Borussia Dortmund man Mahmoud Dahoud on free transfers as they look to replace the big names departing. More

      David de Gea likely to leave on free transfer as Man Utd face starting pre-season with third choice Tom Heaton in goal

      David de Gea has refused to sign on reduced terms with his contract up this week.
      The Spanish keeper, 32, had previously been the highest paid player at £375,000 but the club wanted to reduce that to £200,000 on a new one-year deal with the option of a further 12 months.
      De Gea verbally agreed but nothing was signed on either side and the club went cold.
      Negotiations are said to be continuing but it is looking increasingly likely he will leave as a free agent after 12 years at Old Trafford.

      Ten Hag is clearly not convinced by De Gea even admitting after the 2-1 FA Cup final defeat to Manchester City earlier this month that his distribution from the back needed to be worked on.
      Meanwhile he is not against retaining Dean Henderson, 26, following his loan spell at Nottingham Forest.
      But without either, 37-year-old Tom Heaton is left as United’s senior goalkeeper.
      United have been enquiring about Inter Milan’s Andre Onana but would only offer £30million while the Serie A Champions League finalists want £50million for the Cameroon international.
