      But Mitoma could hardly find a way around Wan-Bissaka as Manchester United and Brighton went all the way to penalties in the FA Cup semi-finals.
      Solly March missed his sudden death spot-kick to send United through and Wan-Bissaka was lauded by fans for his performance.
      Mitoma admitted he was impressed as well.
      As quoted by One Football, the 25-year-old said: “I regret that I didn’t score a goal despite having a few chances to do so.

      “And it’s difficult to score penalties so I think I could have done something more before that.
      “I also need to improve. [Wan-Bissaka] is a strong opponent … this is what I thought while I was playing. But there were a lot of [times] where his legs stretched at the end or he got the ball back.
      “I think it was a complete defeat.”
      Wan-Bissaka was also praised by Leicester and England star James Maddison.

      The midfielder tweeted: “AWB is ridiculously good at 1 v 1 defending. Probably the best in the world bar none. So many wingers run out of ideas when playing directly against him.”
      Wan-Bissaka has only been drafted into team due to the Red Devils’ defensive injury crisis.

      Diogo Dalot has been Erik ten Hag’s preferred right-back when everyone is fit.
      Wan-Bissaka had initially struggled to get into United’s team in the first-half of the season but has had far more games this calendar year. More

      The club have already started to make moves to bring him in and are ready to give Kane £300,000-a-week.
      However, Dublin, who played 15 times for Man Utd, thinks that the club should instead go for Brentford captain Ivan Toney.
      Dublin told William Hill: “In my opinion, he is good enough to go and play for Manchester United, and I think he’d only get better if he went there.
      “Erik ten Hag likes a big striker and they need a proven goalscorer so maybe they should take a look at Ivan Toney.”

      The Spaniard came under fire following his errors in United’s Europa League exit at the hands of Sevilla.
      During the game, De Gea made two critical errors leading to goals.
      Throughout the season, the United star has been able to produce some brilliant saves as well as some costly errors.
      Now, according to Portuguese outlet A Bola, United are looking at Costa as a potential replacement.

      The Portuguese shot-stopper has been rated as one of the best young goalkeepers in Europe since breaking into the Porto team.
      The report has suggested that Costa has a £66million release clause.
      If it were to be activated would make him the second most expensive goalkeeper in history.
      The potential transfer would only have been beaten by the £71m Chelsea paid for Kepa Arrizabalaga.

      However, it would be a bigger investment than the £65m Liverpool paid Roma for Alisson Becker.
      Costa is not the only goalkeeper to be linked with a move to Old Trafford.
      Brentford’s David Raya has also been touted with a switch after he rejected two contract offers from the Bees.
      De Gea’s contract at United expires at the end of the season, but he is set to sign a new deal on lower waged. More

      Man Utd ready to offer Harry Kane and Marcus Rashford HUGE salaries to fire title bid… paid from David de Gea wage cut

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED want to make Marcus Rashford and Harry Kane a mouth-watering £600,000-a-week strike partnership to win back the title.That is the Old Trafford hierarchy’s aim as they bid to take advantage of Tottenham’s demise and land their No 1 target.

      Keeper David de Gea is United’s highest earner on £375,000 a week but the 32-year-old, out of contract this summer, will drop his wages after receiving a new £200,000 offer.
      Star striker Rashford, 25, has just over 12 months left on his deal and the Red Devils are fighting to tie him down to fresh terms, increasing his wages from £200,000 to £300,000 a week.
      Tottenham and England record scorer Kane earns £200,000 a week but United will increase his pay packet by £100,000.
      Three Lions captain Kane, who turns 30 in July, also has bonuses for goals scored and honours achieved — the same as Rashford.
      READ MORE MAN UTD NEWS
      As revealed last month by SunSport, United, who have not won the title since 2013, were confident of signing Kane this summer if Spurs finished outside the Champions League places.
      After their 6-1 capitulation to Newcastle at St James’ Park on Sunday, a top-four finish looks increasingly unlikely.
      Spurs are six points behind United ahead of Thursday’s home clash with Erik ten Hag’s FA Cup finalists.
      If the Red Devils win, then the £100million asking price for Kane will dramatically reduce as the striker enters the final 12 months of his contract and heading towards the latter end of his career.

      Neymar’s inconsistency has led to increased speculation over his future, with Chelsea continually linked with the forward.
      But now, according to Footmercato in France, United are ready to join the hunt for the former £198million star.
      They say Old Trafford bosses made enquiries about the attacker at the start of the season but decided against a concrete approach.
      However, it is claimed that, should Qatari investors be successful in their bid to take over at United this summer, then Neymar could be seen as a marquee signing to signal their intentions.

      Neymar’s contract runs out in 2025 and he does have the option to extend it to 2027.
      But it is claimed PSG want to part with the player sooner rather than later despite the player wanting to stay.
      Sheikh Jassim Bin Hamad Al Thani – a member of the Gulf state’s ruling royal family – is a front-runner in the race to take over at Old Trafford as the Glazers hold out for a £6billion fee.
      Al Thani’s bid is reportedly worth £5bn but he is promising to wipe the club’s debt and fund upgrades for both Old Trafford and Carrington.

      Man Utd ‘hold Alexis Mac Allister transfer talks’ but fans instantly spot massive red flag in move for Argentina star

      by

      But not all Red Devils fans are keen on the potential signingCredit: REX
      Mac Allister really put himself in the shop window and in Argentina’s successful World Cup campaign last December.
      And, according to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, the Red Devils have already made overtures to sign the 24-year-old.
      Some of the Old Trafford faithful, however, aren’t convinced by the potential acquisition of Mac Allister.
      One tweeted: “[Moises] Caceido is a better choice.”

      Another said: “No and no to that please.”
      And another said: “No, F**K No.”

      One remarked: “Caicedo or [Declan] Rice should be first priority.”
      Another chimed in: “[Lionel] Messi made him look good. He’s a fraud we’ve seen him yesterday.”

      Some supporters were fine with the idea of Mac Allister coming in – but scoffed at the idea of United actually getting a deal done.
      One fan joked: “So that’s us out of the picture then.”
      Another remarked: “There’s no way we’re signing him then. We don’t conclude deals early in the transfer window.”
      One chimed in: “United making early transfers, pahahah.”
      Mac Allister inked a bumper new five-year deal – with the option of another 12 months – at the Amex weeks before last winter’s World Cup.
      But the Seagulls are seemingly open to cashing in on their star midfielder – for the right price.
      Club CEO Paul Barber told talkSPORT: “With Alexis, we sat down before the World Cup with his father, Carlos, and his agent.
      “That was about making sure Alexis was as settled as possible before the World Cup goal.
      “And afterwards, we ensured he got back focused on the Premier League – to his credit he absolutely has done. Has performed very, very well.
      “What the summer brings? We don’t know. What we do know is our players will come under a lot of scrutiny and interest.

      “And we will manage that, as we always do, when and if it happens.”

      Harry Kane asking price revealed with Man Utd set to be told to pay £20m MORE than Real Madrid and Bayern

      by

      TOTTENHAM will make Manchester United pay a premium if they are to beat European suitors to Harry Kane this summer, according to reports.SunSport reported last month that the Red Devils are confident of landing Kane ahead of next season, should Spurs finish outside the top four.

      With the North Londoners’ Champions League hopes in tatters following their 6-1 mauling at Newcastle, a result that saw Cristian Stellini’s stay as acting head coach come to an abrupt end, United feel that they are well placed to pounce.
      The Red Devils would be willing to significantly boost Kane’s current £200,000 a week salary.
      And they believe that the 29-year-old would be interested in making the switch after contacting his camp via a third party.
      The England captain is viewed as unlikely to extend his contract with Tottenham this summer.
      READ MORE ON HARRY KANE
      As it stands, the Telegraph claim that Spurs would demand at least £100million from a fellow Premier League club for Kane this summer.
      A team from abroad, however, may only be charged around £80m.
      Kane is believed to want to stay in the Premier League, as he chases down Alan Shearer’s all-time leading goalscorer record.
      Shearer finished on 260, with Kane currently third in the all-time list on 207.

      He will likely move to second before the end of the season, with yesterday’s consolation strike against Newcastle moving him to within one of Wayne Rooney.
      Kane said in January that there had “not been much talking” with Spurs over a new contract but he was “sure there will be conversations over the coming months”.
      Despite Spurs’ woes, their No10 has still managed to bag 24 Prem goals so far this season.
      In February he became their all-time leading goalscorer, overtaking the legendary Jimmy Greaves.
      Spurs made the decision to axe acting head coach Stellini on Monday following meetings between Daniel Levy and key players.
      Kane’s friend and former team-mate Ryan Mason, 31, will be in charge until the end of the season.
      Tottenham have been linked with the likes of Julian Nagelsmann and Luis Enrique in their managerial hunt.
      While Arne Slot, Vincent Kompany and Ange Postecoglou have also been mentioned.
      Popular former boss Mauricio Pochettino, whose name has been sung by fans at recent matches, was reportedly never considered and is on the verge of joining Chelsea.

      Ferdinand remembered the experienced players facing off against the young aces the night before their big clash with Chelsea at the Luzhniki Stadium.
      The experienced players were looking for a big morale boost but it all went south as current Brighton star Welbeck netted a hat-trick and delivered a major blow to the stars’ ego.
      That led to a major argument which “could not have gone any worse” for Sir Alex Ferguson’s side.
      Ferdinand told his FIVE show: “The night before, we used to play older team versus younger team.

      However, United managed to overcome their training ground drama the next night.
