      With both clubs vying for a top four spot, the Portuguese midfielder will be key to the Red Devils; chances of victory at The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
      Fernandes hobbled out of Wembley with an ankle injury after being subbed in extra-time during their semi-final win against Brighton on Sunday.
      The alarm was then raised when his wife posted a picture of the Portuguese ace with his foot bandaged up and a protective boot and crutches next to him.
      But United boss Ten Hag calmed fears of a major problem and said it was just precautionary as he revealed that he could make it for tonight’s encounter.

      And now it seems that the 28-year-old is ready for action after he was seen leaving for the airport alongside his team-mates this morning after the manager opted to fly on the day of the game instead of their usual overnight stay.
      Decked out in a club tracksuit and hoodie, the ex-Sporting Lisbon ace appeared to have ditched the strapping as he boarded the coach to the airport.
      United bounced back from a 3-0 thumping in Seville to exit the Europa League with that penalty shoot-out victory over Brighton to reach the FA Cup Final.
      And Ten Hag has warned that they have to prepare for the same with Spurs ‘mad’ after their 6-1 humbling to Newcastle at St James’ Park.

      He said: “It’s obvious they had a really bad defeat, of course, they are mad, that can be fuel for bounce backing. It’s about us, an opponent can never be more hungry than us.
      “That is how we have to prepare the game and make sure we go front foot, be dominant and dictate the game.”

      But during the game, Grealish appeared to grab Thomas Partey’s collar as he got his hands close to the midfielder’s neck.
      This comes after United star Casemiro was sent off for grabbing Crystal Palace ace Will Hughes’ throat in February.
      The Brazil international was also handed a three-match ban, whereas the City star got away with only a yellow card.
      United fans were fuming after that call and took to Twitter claiming there are double standards.

      Another posted: “Probably added to death row too.”
      A third said: “Me and my son were discussing this. There is no consistency. If Casemiro’s was a Red then so was this.”
      This fan commented: “For sure….it’s poor! Grealish needs to be banned just like Casemiro.”

      “That has to change next season, then I really want to play weekly again. I haven’t spoken to the club management yet, so just wait and see what happens.
      “But it is clear that this role does not match my expectations.”

      BILD reported that the central midfielder was unable to hide his smile when asked about the rumour of him joining Liverpool.
      Jurgen Klopp is desperate to revamp his ageing midfield with some new talent.
      Liverpool have turned their attention on the midfielder, after dropping out of the transfer race for Borussia Dortmund star Jude Bellingham.
      However, a move to Manchester United could also be a real possibility.
      Gravenberch played under United boss Erik Ten Hag at Ajax, and was linked with a move to Old Trafford last year.
      The starlet was a product of the Ajax youth academy, and played over 30 matches in both title-winning campaigns under Ten Hag.
      The situation has also piqued the interest of Arsenal.
      Mikel Arteta’s side have been linked to a host of central midfielders.
      The club were close to signing Moises Caicedo from Brighton in January, and West Ham’s captain Declan Rice has been targeted.

      However, Arsenal are well-stocked in midfield, having handed Mohamed Elneny a new deal and added Jorginho to their ranks in January.
      Thomas Partey, Granit Xhaka and Martin Odegaard are regular starters, prompting questions about whether Gravenberch might end up facing similar issues in North London. More

      by

      But now Ratcliffe is ready to make an offer likely to infuriate United fans who are desperate to get rid of their owners of 18 years.
      And that could see some fans shifting their support to Qatari banker Sheikh Jasin bin Hamad al-Thani, who still plans to make a bid for a £5.5bn-plus deal when he makes his third offer on Friday.
      Sir Jim’s potential gambit would see him still take a controlling stake of more than 50 per cent of the club but allow co-chairmen Joel and Avram Glazer to retain their combined 20 per cent stake.
      Such a deal would be likely to cause consternation from the majority of United supporters, who have made their anger and frustration towards the Glazers abundantly clear.

      But it may prove to be the preferred option for the duo, whose desire to remain at the club appears to have grown in recent months.
      Sheikh Jassim still intends to bid for full control of the club, while four hedge funds, including Elliott Management and the Carlyle group, will make offer of cash injections to fund future development.
      However the new Ratcliffe move could prove a game-changer, even if the prospect of a continued Glazer involvement does bring a backlash from supporters.
      Earlier this month, Gary Neville raged at reports that American financial group Carlyle could be set to make a major investment in Man Utd.

      The US based private equity firm is reportedly pitching to take a minority stake in the club.
      United legend Neville, who has been vocal about the Glazers, was not happy with the news and vented his frustration on Twitter alongside a picture of the firm’s mission statement.
      He said: “No thank you! This doesn’t work for United! The Glazer PR machine keeps leaking this type of minority partnership out there bi-weekly whilst stressing it’s a confidential process. Full Sale Only.” More

      But Monaco do have him tied down to a deal until 2027 – so they hold the cards when it comes to negotiating a transfer fee.

      by

      ALEJANDRO GARNACHO has reportedly handed Erik ten Hag a major blow concerning Manchester United’s bid for a cup double.The Argentina winger, 18, became an integral part of the Red Devils first-team this term before picking up an injury in the 0-0 draw with Southampton on March 12.

      He has made 29 appearances and scored four goals so far this term and is now nearing a return to full fitness ahead of the run-in.
      Garnacho’s comeback would provide a huge boost to Ten Hag’s United depleted squad as they look to tie up a top four finish and then lift the FA Cup to go along with their Carabao Cup triumph.
      However, the teen could miss that Wembley showdown with Man City on June 3 at his OWN REQUEST.
      According to Argentinian outlet Doble Amarilla, the starlet has asked Ten Hag to grant him leave in order to represent his country at the Under-20 World Cup.

      The tournament starts in May in his home country and runs until June 11.
      Garnacho has already been selected in the preliminary squad named by boss Javier Mascherano, who played for both Liverpool and Barcelona.
      And that would rule him out of playing in the FA Cup derby clash.
      The publication claims that Garnacho, who has never been capped at senior level despite several call-ups, has told Ten Hag: “I need to write my story with the Argentine shirt.

      The Merseysiders have turned their attention on the midfielder after dropping out of the transfer bid for Borussia Dortmund superstar Jude Bellingham.
      Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is prioritising a signing to boost his midfield amid a turbulent campaign.

      However, Phillips underwent a shoulder operation in September which ruled him out until mid-season, when the 2022 World Cup kicked off.
      The talented No6 still earned an international call-up by Three Lions manager Gareth Southgate and played twice in Qatar.
      But Phillips still ended up being frozen out from City following a break in New York with friends.

      Phillips has only managed to start in two games across all competitions but has never featured in Guardiola’s starting line-up in the Premier League this season.
      The ex-Leeds star has only registered a mere 16 appearances with City so far this term. More
