      The Athletic report Mount is “leaning” towards an Old Trafford move, with talks between Chelsea and Man Utd set to commence in due course.
      Rival suitors Arsenal, Liverpool and Bayern Munich are also said to be aware of the England International’s preference.
      Mount has been stalling on a new contract with his deal at Stamford Bridge set to expire next season.
      Ahead of Chelsea’s Thursday trip to Old Trafford to face the Red Devils, Blues boss Frank Lampard remained coy when speaking on Mount’s future.

      He said: “I don’t know [his future].
      “That’s not my answer to make. That’s between Mason and the club.”
      Incoming Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino reportedly wants Mount as part of his project going forward.
      Chelsea hopes this will help to convince the Cobham Academy graduate that his future lies in West London.

      Despite United’s interest, the ongoing ownership saga will need to be resolved before a deal can be put tangibly put into place.
      Mount is also far from the top of United’s priority list, with a new striker and central defender the most pressing issues for Erik ten Hag’s squad.
      The creative midfielder has struggled with both fitness and form this campaign.
      Indeed, just three goals and two assists in the Premier League – while adding four assists in the Champions League – is far from Mount’s usual highs.
      His best goal-involvement return in a single season at Stamford Bridge came in the 2021/22 season when he struck 13 goals and added 16 assists.

      The 22 year old spent last season on loan at Doncaster Rovers before joining Salford City on a season loan last summer.
      The United loanee featured 32 times for Salford scoring three times and providing four assists as the Ammies qualified for the play-offs.
      But, Salford suffered penalty heartache as they lost to Stockport on penalties, ending their season and seemingly Galbraith’s time with the club.
      According to The Real EFL, Middlesbrough, managed by ex United midfielder Michael Carrick are now keen on the midfielder.

      Carrick’s men remain in the Championship next season after losing 1-0 to Coventry City in the play-off semi finals.
      Boro will be hoping that Carrick’s links to United could help them secure Galbraith’s signature as they aim to bolster their squad for another promotion push next season.

      Struggling Man Utd signing is on ‘borrowed time’ as Dwight Yorke claims his spell has been ‘a mystery’

      But Sancho has missed swathes of his two seasons with injuries.
      And he has just 11 goals in 76 games under three different managers.
      Reports now claim Erik ten Hag is running out of patience with the wide-man.
      United’s Dutch gaffer hopes to bring in at least one new forward this summer.

      And Sancho could be sacrificed as United also look to raise funds for a midfielder.
      One man who believes “mystery” Sancho faces an exit is former United striker and Treble icon Yorke.
      He reckons there’s every chance Sancho will be cast aside this summer for a replacement signing.
      And even if Sancho stays, he will have to quickly prove himself or else risk being dumped in the window after.

      “Huge investment, really did an amazing job when he was at Dortmund.
      “Somehow the transition from there to Manchester hasn’t really worked out in the way that we all thought it might for him.
      “Really struggled, whether it’s from a mental point of view, which seems to be well documented. He hasn’t really lived up to the price tag.
      “So yeah he’s on borrowed time, I suppose, if you have to be fair in many respects.
      “He hasn’t really produced the goods that we expect of him.” More

      Arsenal and Manchester United have been long-term admirers of Rice, with the Emirates side once the favourites to land him in a club-record transfer.
      However, we reported how Bayern boss Thomas Tuchel was also weighing up a move for the Hammers ace.
      And now Sky Sport journalist Florian Plettenberg has provided an update on Bayern’s pursuit of the star.
      He tweeted: “Internally it is said that the poker has begun now!

      “Tuchel and the bosses want him as reported and he’s one of the targets who’s top on the list. 
      “Been told that Bayern could pay the price package demanded!”
      Although he did add that their move is “not advanced yet” as it is still unclear what is Rice’s preferred move just yet.
      Now West Ham fans are certain that he will be heading to Bayern after the club shared a clip of Rice coming out for training this morning where he produced a German greeting.

      As the person behind the camera shouted hello, the midfielder replied: “Guten morgan.”
      “Rice to Bayern confirmed,” wrote one.
      While another said: “He’s getting the practice in.”
      Tuchel and sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic are working on a plan to overhaul the Bayern squad this summer.
      And they identified Rice as a suitable option in holding midfield.
      Tuchel came up against Rice during his time as Chelsea boss and believes he has the quality to slot into the Bavarians’ team chasing the Champions League trophy.
      West Ham are demanding at least £100million for their academy graduate, despite his current contract expiring in 2024.
      Bayern’s record transfer fee is the £68m they paid for Lucas Hernandez.

      And that could prove a boost for the Premier League sides still keen on landing Rice, especially if they can offer Champions League football.
      Hammers boss David Moyes admitted last week there is a “good chance” his influential skipper could leave the club at the end of this season – with James Ward-Prowse lined up as a possible replacement. More

      And the Mail claims United are looking to steal a march on rivals as they prepare to table an offer this summer.
      Club sources have confirmed talks over a deal for Mount are set to commence once the season ends.
      Erik ten Hag has made the England midfielder his No1 priority.
      And United are ready to offer £55m to see off competition from rivals.

      Mount has plenty of suitors at home and abroad, with Arsenal, Liverpool and Bayern Munich extremely interested.
      But United hope they can move into pole position by getting talks underway after Sunday’s final Premier League matches.
      Champions League winner Mount is out of contract in 2024.
      Chelsea have made numerous attempts to get him to sign a lucrative new extension.

      But the two parties have been unable to agree on a wage, with Mount reportedly looking for £250,000-a-week like pal Reece James.
      Chelsea are hoping to bank £85m for Mount, who has been at the club since 2005 after coming through their Cobham academy.
      He has 33 goals in 195 games for the Blues since his 2019 debut.
      And Mount established himself as a key player under multiple managers like Frank Lampard, Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter.
      Incoming Blues boss Mauricio Pochettino has told Todd Boehly he ideally wants Mount in his squad next season.
      But Chelsea are unwilling to keep hold of players who are out of contract the following summer.
      And if Mount is unable to strike terms late on, Boehly will look to cash in.
      He isn’t the only ace whose deal is up in 2024.

      Man Utd looking to swoop in to land 14-goal winger ahead of Arsenal, Newcastle and PSG as transfer race hots up

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED are reportedly looking to pinch Moussa Diaby from under the noses of their Premier League rivals. Moussa Diaby has been the object of much attention this season and appears to have a decision to make in the summer.
      Moussa Diaby has made nine appearances for the French national team
      The Bayer Leverkusen winger has managed 14 goals and 11 assists in all competitions for Xabi Alonso’s side this campaign and has attracted a lot of interest as a result.
      According to Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg, the Frenchman is now a target for Manchester United.
      However it is reported that the next step in any move for Diaby to join the Man Utd would depend on the ownership at the club.
      The Red Devils are in the midst of a bidding war between Sheikh Jassim and Jim Ratcliffe who both want to purchase the club off the Glazer family.

      Man Utd only just added talented wingers to their roster when they brought in Antony last summer for £85.5million and Jadon Sancho the season before for £73million.
      Regardless it would appear Erik ten Hag is keen to add attacking talent to his squad as they look all but guaranteed to finish in the Champions League places.
      Diaby has also been linked with a move to Arsenal, PSG and Newcastle United.
      With Newcastle now securing Champions League football they could be a more attractive outlet for the 23-year-old, however it has been said that their interest has not advanced in recent months.

      Leverkusen are rumoured to be demanding a of around £70m to pry Diaby out of their hands.

      Arsenal have been linked with Diaby for a long time, but with priorities seemingly lying in midfield this summer as well as Bukayo Saka signing a new long-term contract it may be a difficult deal for the Gunners to complete. More

      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

      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

      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.

      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 walks off after being substituted against Bournemouth on Saturday.Credit: Getty
      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
      David De Gea in action against Bournemouth.Credit: Getty
      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
      Telles in action for loan club SevillaCredit: Getty
      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
