      Burnley line up £15m Man Utd-linked goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen for Premier League campaign in huge transfer coup

      by

      BURNLEY chief Vincent Kompany wants to snatch Dutch goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen from his old club Anderlecht.Verbruggen, 20, looks one of the best prospects in Europe and the Clarets boss is back on his trail after attempting to bring the stopper with him to Turf Moor last summer.

      Since then, the Bartman has enhanced his reputation by claiming the first-team spot at the Belgian side and also being called up by Holland for their Euro 2024 qualifiers against France and Gibraltar.
      Liverpool are also very keen on Verbruggen — as we first revealed in February — but that would be as a long-term replacement for current Kop No 1 Alisson, with no guarantee of game time.
      Kompany’s runaway Championship leaders could offer Premier League football and a step up the ladder immediately, which could be a huge temptation.
      Anderlecht want around £15million for Verbruggen, which could turn out to be a shrewd investment.

      Kompany’s former Manchester City team-mate Arijanet Muric has been the Clarets’ first choice stopper this term.
      He has made 36 Championship appearances, keeping 16 clean sheets.
      In addition to Burnley and Liverpool, Manchester United are reportedly interested in Verbruggen.
      Belgian outlet HLN claim the Red Devils are weighing up a bid for Anderlecht’s 6ft 4in gloveman Verbruggen.

      Since joining the Red Devils he has become a regular member of the side, appearing in nine games in all competitions, scoring one goal.
      Sabitzer has left the door open to a permanent move to Old Trafford already since his arrival in January.
      But fans are now fearing that a transfer could be scuppered by the former Chelsea manager.
      One tweeted: “Damn! Tuchel is likely to spoil this deal for us.”

      And a sixth declared: “Tuchel loves hardworking players. I sense he will offload Gravenberch and recall Sabitzer.”
      Sabitzer’s deal with United does not include an option to buy and therefore, it will be up to Bayern and Tuchel to decide if he will be sold.
      Under former manager Julian Nagelsmann, it had seemed that Sabitzer’s career at Bayern was over, but that could now change. More

      Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag gives go ahead for £88m Goncalo Ramos transfer… but move depends on who owner is

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED are prepared to launch an £88million bid for Goncalo Ramos, reports suggest. However, the move will depend on who takes over the club.

      The 21-year-old forward has been in electric form this season, scoring 24 goals and adding a further ten assists in all competitions.
      Ramos shot to fame outside of Portugal after replacing Cristiano Ronaldo in the Portugal team and scoring a hat-trick in the World Cup last 16 against Switzerland.
      Spanish outlet AS report Erik Ten Hag has given the green light for United to sign him, although current club Benfica will not sell for any less than £88m.
      Such a large fee will require big financial muscles, something United could boast depending on the outcome of their ongoing takeover battle.

      Qatar’s Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani and Ineos owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe are the two frontrunners in the process.
      But Sheikh Jassim’s group pack far more financial muscle than the Brit’s, already placing a world-record £5bn bid down to buy the club from current owners the Glazers.
      Ten Hag has already spoken about the need to bring in more firepower in the summer, with the likes of Harry Kane and Victor Osimhen also linked with a transfer.
      Regardless, he has called on five stars to score more goals to ease the burden on talisman Marcus Rashford, though omitted Weghorst from his list.

      He said: “I think we have players like Bruno [Fernandes], like Jadon Sancho, like Anthony Martial, like Scott McTominay, like Antony dos Santos, we have enough players with the capabilities to score goals, definitely.
      “What I said previously, I work in the back on next season [for transfers] but we’re working now on this season, so first of all make sure everyone is available and keep improving the way of play and that’s the best chance of scoring more goals.”
      Other than Rashford, Fernandes is the only player in the United team to hit double figures this season.
      United have been handed a boost by the return of Martial, with Ten Hag saying he can be in the squad to play in Sunday’s clash against Newcastle. More

      Man Utd in Harry Kane blow after Daniel Levy ‘made vow following transfer exit he still regrets’

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED face another obstacle to securing Harry Kane after Daniel Levy reportedly made a vow over his transfer policy. The future of the Tottenham striker is set to be one of the biggest stories of the summer as Spurs try to cling on to their greatest asset.

      But United, desperate for a forward, are expected to go all in for the 29-year-old goal machine.
      However the club could face an unexpected challenge to convince chairman Levy to sell up – and it all goes back to the actions of their rivals Manchester City.
      The Cityzens bought Kyle Walker from Spurs for £45m in 2017 with Levy, the Premier League’s longest-serving chairman, sanctioning the sale.
      But the Mail claim that Levy has “never forgiven himself” over the deal and has “vowed” to not make the same mistake again.
      READ MORE ON MAN UNITED
      The report said he does not even intend on selling to either Manchester club ever again.
      This could pose a serious issue for United given their hot pursuit of Kane.
      Manchester United chiefs already had fears of their transfer hunt being turned into a “nightmare”, according to reports earlier this month.
      Levy is renowned for being a tough negotiator and it is believed he will seek around £100million for Kane.

      This is despite the England captain’s contract having a little over a year left to run, meaning he could be secured for free next summer.
      Levy is also reported to employ a series of tactics when it comes to handling these high-profile transfers.
      The tactics include offering agents nothing but water and speaking in code to hide the names of transfer targets. More

      Erik ten Hag names 5 Man Utd players he wants to help ease scoring burden on Rashford… and goal-shy Weghorst ISN’T one

      by

      ERIK TEN HAG has called on five Manchester United players to grab more goals – but excluded striker Wout Weghorst. The Red Devils are targeting a place in the top four and more silverware to add to the Carabao Cup as the season draws to a close.

      But they are becoming noticeably reliant on Marcus Rashford for goals, to the concern of their manager.
      The England striker has hit the net 27 times in all competitions, putting him 17 goals clear of his next closest teammate.
      He also has 25 more goals than January loanee signing Weghorst, who has struggled in front of goal across his 18 Ma Utd appearances.
      But the star was absent as ten Hag reeled off the players he wanted to see worry opposition goalkeepers more during his pre-match press conference.

      The Dutchman said: “I think we have players like Bruno [Fernandes], like Jadon Sancho, like Anthony Martial, like Scott McTominay, like Antony dos Santos, we have enough players with the capabilities to score goals, definitely.

      United fans will be hoping top scorer Rashford is fit for this weekend’s crucial trip against top four rivals Newcastle.

      Ex-Man Utd star names TEN flops Erik ten Hag must sell in huge summer transfer clearout including £85m buy Antony

      MANCHESTER UNITED must sell TEN flops in a massive summer clearout, according to Paul Parker.And one of the main names on the chopping block is £85million new signing Antony.

      Erik ten Hag has helped revitalise the sleeping giant since taking over in the summer.
      He ended the six-year wait for a trophy by leading United to the Carabao Cup and still has ambitions of FA Cup and Europa League glory, as well as qualifying for the Champions League.
      But despite nine arrivals – signed or loaned – and nine first-team players sold or released, Parker insists there is still plenty of work to be done in the transfer market.
      Parker said: “I would say that ten players from the current squad need to leave Manchester United this season.
      READ MORE ON MAN UTD
      “Diogo Dalot, Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire, Scott McTominay, Donny van de Beek, Anthony Elanga, Wout Weghorst, Anthony Martial, Jadon Sancho and Antony all have to leave the club.
      “And then we can always talk about players like Phil Jones, Eric Bailly and so on who don’t have a future at the club but they are quite obvious.
      “Antony… I can see the reason why Erik ten Hag brought him in. He knew him very well and he knows that he works hard. He can trust him.
      “But I just don’t see him having the opportunity to make himself a regular player at United.

      “There are a lot of better players out there that are way cheaper than him.
      “And I don´t believe that he can pay back in performance what Manchester United paid for him.”
      “I really don’t see him occupying that right-hand side.
      “United need a player that can perform consistently and I don’t think they will ever get that from him.”
      Antony arrived with much fanfare after a summer-long tussle with Ajax, before splashing out a mammoth fee for the Brazilian.
      But despite glimpses of quality, he is yet to close anywhere close to justifying his price tag, contributing seven goals and one assist in 30 appearances.
      He has not been involved in a Premier League goal since October 9, when he scored for the third game running against Everton.
      Dalot appears to be back behind Aaron Wan-Bissaka in the pecking order while Lindelof and Maguire are often overlooked for Luke Shaw to play at centre-back.
      ‘LINDELOF MADE A SCAPEGOAT’
      Casemiro improved the midfield and Ten Hag may think he can improve on McTominay and Van de Beek.
      While in attack, Marcus Rashford is the star man with Elanga, Martial, Weghort, Sancho and Antony unable to contribute effectively.
      Parker, though, thinks Lindelof has been given a bit of a hard time.
      He added to Bettors: “A lot of the names that I mentioned are obvious because they are not playing and the want to play regularly.
      “But I want to elaborate why I think that Victor Lindelof should leave, because I actually like him as a player
      “Lindelof is a great player and he deserves to play every week but it’s not going to be at United as Erik ten Hag doesn’t seem to fancy him.

      “He has been made the scapegoat by a lot of fans and the media as well. But he has a lot of qualities and he could play for a lot of good clubs.”
      “He will always perform at least a seven out of ten.
      “He never lets the manager down and he is the man to bring if you want a defender who you know you can trust.”
      Parker’s comments echo those of Gary Neville, who claimed the Red Devils have signed just six world-class players since Sir Alex Ferguson left way back in 2013.
      But the club have already drawn up a shortlist with their summer transfer targets.
      Top of the pile is England captain Harry Kane, with the board giving the manager the green light to make a move.

      Mason Mount, Kaoru Mitoma, Moises Caicedo and Randal Kolo Muani are also possible options.
      But in order to bring the new stars in, United will need to ship out a fair chunk of the deadwood to create space in the squad.

      Man Utd have signed just six world-class stars since Fergie retired and THREE of them are Ten Hag transfers says Neville

      MANCHESTER UNITED have signed just a handful of world-class stars since Sir Alex Ferguson retired, according to Gary Neville.And most of them have come during Erik ten Hag’s reign.

      The Red Devils are yet to win a Premier League title since Fergie called time on his managerial career in 2013.
      In that time, United have splashed millions on countless players under bosses David Moyes, Louis van Gaal, Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
      But success has been few and far between, with United delivering just a handful of trophies in that time.
      And speaking after United’s 4-0 defeat to Brentford at the start of the season, Neville declared that just two signings made by United since Fergie’s exit could be deemed “world-class”.
      READ MORE ON MAN UTD
      Neville highlighted Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Bruno Fernandes as the only two men to make a proper impact at Old Trafford.
      But that list has since risen to SIX since Ten Hag took charge last summer.
      The Dutchman recovered from a tricky start to break United’s trophy hoodoo with victory in February’s Carabao Cup final against Newcastle.
      And the Manchester Evening News has updated Neville’s “world-class” list with four more players.

      The other three are all signings made by the Dutchman last summer and have made a huge impact.
      Casemiro, Lisandro Martinez and Christian Eriksen have all played huge parts in United’s rise up the table.
      The list could yet grow, with fellow Ten Hag signing Antony showing glimpses of his potential.
      Earlier aces like Luke Shaw and Diogo Dalot are also beginning to show their best after years of inconsistent form.
      And given his track record so far at United, it’s fair to say Ten Hag is capable of bringing more top players to the Theatre of Dreams this summer.

      The England international’s stunning form saw him handed a new extension by manager Erik ten Hag.
      And United will now try to tie down Marcus Rashford as well as David De Gea ahead of the summer window.
      Marcus Rashford injury update latest
      Erik ten Hag is confident Marcus Rashford will be fit this weekend.
      That’s after the Man Utd ace missed England’s recent internationals through injury.
      Speaking ahead of the game with Newcastle, Ten Hag said: “I’ve good hope. He had to do some treatment and individual training, but on Friday he joined in with the group.
      “We have one more day to go and there’s good hope he’s available. I think so.”

      Fastest players in Premier League
      Marcus Rashford has been Man Utd’s fastest player this season.
      But he has only just cracked the top 10 in the Premier League.
      Rashford’s recorded a top speed of 35.81km/h this term.
      But that’s some way off fastest man Brennan Johnson, who hit 36.7km/h for Nottingham Forest.

      Rooney talks up Ronaldo exit
      Wayne Rooney has continued his war of words with Cristiano Ronaldo by hailing Man United’s success without the veteran striker.
      Rooney said: “I suppose he got what he wanted.
      “For Manchester United, it was important to move on as quick as possible from that and really refocus on the group of players who were there and wanted to be there.
      “And I think that’s where [Erik] ten Hag has done a really good job in refocusing the players and getting them in a position where they are, obviously, comfortably in the top four, and also winning the [Carabao] Cup.”
      Shaw agrees new United deal
      Luke Shaw has agreed a new contract keeping him at Man Utd for the next four years.

      Man Utd will have to pay £70million if they want to sign Mason Mount from Chelsea.
      The midfielder looks increasingly likely to depart Stamford Bridge after failing to agree a new deal.
      And United are one of several teams being tipped to make an offer.
      But Chelsea will not sell for cheap and want a tasty fee for their former academy star.
      Onana lined up by United
      Man Utd are battling Chelsea to sign Inter Milan goalie Andre Onana.
      Gazzetta claims he is being lined up as a replacement for contract rebel David De Gea.
      Onana played under Erik ten Hag at Ajax and the pair remain close.
      But Chelsea are ready to offer up three players, with Inter keen on Romelu Lukaku, Trevoh Chalobah and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
      Muani a no-go for Devils
      Man Utd have been sent a hands-off warning over Eintracht Frankfurt star Randal Kolo Muani.
      Club chief Markus Krosche said: “We have no intention of selling Kolo Muani now.
      “The hype about him is understandable and normal.
      “Another season with us would be good for Randal, we want to continue and not necessarily sell him.”
      Ruud awakening for Van Nistelrooy
      Man Utd legend Ruud van Nistelrooy has revealed how his move to the club almost completely collapsed.
      He said: “I did the whole medical in Manchester and we were driving up to Old Trafford to do the press conference to sign, and the phone rang.
      “I was told by the orthopaedic surgeon from United who saw the MRI that my knee was not right, he said, ‘you have to turn around and go back to your hotel, you’re not going to pass a medical’.”
      READ THE REST HERE

      Good morning Man Utd fans
      Manchester United star Marcus Rashford has dismissed reports he is asking for up to £500,000-a-week in wages to extend his contract.
      Rashford tweeted: “Just before this one starts to do the rounds! It’s complete nonsense.
      “The club and myself have been respectful to one another, and that’s how it will remain.
      “My focus is purely on finishing as well as possible in the league and winning trophies.”
      Meanwhile, United record goalscorer Wayne Rooney has said “it’s a shame how it ended” for Cristiano Ronaldo at Old Trafford.
      DC United boss Rooney told CNN about Al-Nassr superstar Ronaldo: “I think what he’s done for Manchester United is great. He’s won Premier League titles, won the Champions League, scored many goals.
      “So I think certainly for the fans and certainly for the players, his former team-mates who played with him from my time especially, we’ll never forget what he did for Manchester United.
      “In my eyes, he’ll always be a club legend and it’s a shame the way it ended of course this time round. But I don’t think that takes anything away from his legacy at the club.”
      And Chelsea have revealed their transfer demands to sell United target Mason Mount.
      Mount has been linked with the Stamford Bridge exit door as he has yet to agree to a new contract, with his deal running out next year.
      The likes of Liverpool and Bayern Munich have joined the Red Devils in the bidding war for the playmaker.
      However, it now appears the Blues have shown their hand in terms of what they want if they are to let the England international go.
      According to The Athletic, the West Londoners have set a £70million price tag on the 24-year-old.
      Finally, United have received a major transfer boost as Real Madrid have set a limit on how much they will pay for Borussia Dortmund superstar Jude Bellingham.
      This is also good news for Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea, who are all linked with Bellingham.
      According to AS, Real will not fork out more than £88m for the midfielder as they don’t want to overpay.
      It’s thought the reigning Spanish champs hope to persuade the England international to snub a Premier League move and tempt him to the Santiago Bernabeu thanks to the club’s “legendary history”.
      But Real are refusing to enter a bidding war for the 19-year-old on both the transfer fee as well as his salary.
      Ferguson and Wenger friendship
      Manchester United legend Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsenal hero Arsene Wenger have revealed how they have put the past behind them and become good friends.
      Ferguson said: “They became a tough team to compete with and we both wanted to win, which motivated us further.
      “Through the years since retirement, we’d go for dinner together in a little restaurant he knows well in Switzerland.
      “He is a really interesting man and I enjoy his company, but it is still my job to pick the wine!”
      Harry Kane bid
      Manchester United have given manager Erik ten Hag the green light to offer £80million for Tottenham star Harry Kane.
      And United want to wrap up a deal to sign Kane before the end of the campaign.
      The 29-year-old is a long-term target for the Red Devils who desperately want a new centre-forward this summer after axing Cristiano Ronaldo.
      But it remains to be seen if Spurs are finally willing to sell the England international.
      Man Utd fan backlash
      Manchester United fans are furious with the ticket prices announced for the pre-season friendly against Wrexham.
      United will face the non-league side owned by Hollywood superstars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney in San Diego on July 26 as part of the Premier League giants’ pre-season tour of America.
      But fans will have to cough up some heavy bucks to watch what is likely to be the Red Devils’ academy and fringe players take on the League Two hopefuls at the Snapdragon Stadium.
      The “utterly insane” prices led to a furious reaction by fans with the cheapest ticket costing a whopping $224 (£182).

      Must Gav him
      Barcelona star Gavi has been stripped of his contract and squad number as the club are unable to register him as a first-team player with LaLiga.
      The midfielder will be able to play for the financially troubled club again this season but will have to be registered as an academy player with his previous contract after two appeals were turned down.
      The 18-year-old wonderkid will also have to wear the No30 instead of the No6 shirt he was given when he was registered as a first-team player.
      This has been confirmed on LaLiga’s website as the Spain international’s profile is displayed with his squad number.
      Man Utd debt
      Manchester United’s debt has risen by a staggering £60million while the Glazers push to sell the club.
      United released financial reports for the second quarter in the period that ended on the final day of last year.
      The findings show US debt has increased to an eye-watering total of £535.7m.
      According to the Mail, the Red Devils’ chiefs are not panicked by the figures and that the jump is accounted for by a shift in the exchange rate between the pound and the dollar.
      The figures also show that the club has overall made a £6.3m profit across the period despite a 10 per cent decrease in turnover.
      The lesser amount has been caused by the World Cup break where United were not in action and by the club having gained less money as they’re competing in the Europa League and not the Champions League.
      Bellingham transfer boost
      Manchester United have received a major transfer boost as Real Madrid have set a limit on how much they will pay for Borussia Dortmund superstar Jude Bellingham.
      This is also good news for Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea, who are all linked with a swoop for Bellingham.
      According to AS, Real will not fork out more than £88million for the midfielder as they don’t want to overpay.
      It’s thought the reigning Spanish champions hope to persuade the England international to snub a Premier League move and tempt him to the Santiago Bernabeu thanks to the club’s “legendary history”.
      But Real are refusing to enter a bidding war for the 19-year-old on both the transfer fee and his salary.
      Ferguson transfer blow
      Brighton are lining up a new deal for teenage star and Manchester United target Evan Ferguson, writes SunSport’s Jack Rosser.
      Despite only agreeing a professional contract in October, the Seagulls are now preparing fresh terms to ward off any interest for Ferguson.
      The striker’s form since making the step up to the first team has caught the eye of the Premier League’s big clubs.
      United, Liverpool and Chelsea all tried to nab the Republic of Ireland international ahead of Brighton when he made the move over from Bohemians two years ago.
      Tottenham have also been linked with a move for the 18-year-old, who scored on his first start for Stephen Kelly’s side against Latvia last week.

      Taking the Mik
      Manchester United legend Gary Neville has hit back at Arsenal supporters after they dug up a clip of him criticising manager Mikel Arteta.
      Neville refused to back down from his comments made a year ago, reminding fans that they themselves wanted Arteta dismissed.
      An Arsenal fan page first said: “One year ago today, Gary Neville said that if Mikel Arteta finished fourth with Arsenal, he’d have to leave as he wouldn’t be able to achieve anything more.”
      Neville responded: “One year ago you lot were asking for him to be sacked!!! Go and look at it!”
      Top of the Mount
      Chelsea have revealed their transfer demands to sell Manchester United target Mason Mount.
      Mount has been linked with the Stamford Bridge exit door as he has yet to agree to a new contract, with his current deal running out next year.
      The likes of Liverpool and Bayern Munich have joined United in the bidding war for the playmaker.
      However, it now appears the Blues have shown their hand in terms of what they want if they are to sell the England international.
      According to The Athletic, the West Londoners have set a £70million price tag on Mount.
      More from Rooney
      Wayne Rooney praised Manchester United for moving on quickly after offloading Cristiano Ronaldo.
      Rooney added: “I suppose he got what he wanted.
      “For Manchester United, it was important to move on as quick as possible from that and really refocus on the group of players who were there and wanted to be there.
      “And I think that’s where [Erik] ten Hag has done a really good job in refocusing the players and getting them in a position where they are, obviously, comfortably in the top four, and also winning the [Carabao] Cup.”
      Rooney moving Ron
      Manchester United record goalscorer Wayne Rooney has said “it’s a shame how it ended” for Cristiano Ronaldo at Old Trafford.
      DC United boss Rooney told CNN about Al-Nassr superstar Ronaldo: “I think what he’s done for Manchester United is great. He’s won Premier League titles, won the Champions League, scored many goals.
      “So I think certainly for the fans and certainly for the players, his former team-mates who played with him from my time especially, we’ll never forget what he did for Manchester United.
      “In my eyes, he’ll always be a club legend and it’s a shame the way it ended of course this time round. But I don’t think that takes anything away from his legacy at the club.”

      Man Utd transfer advice
      Manchester United have been urged to freshen up their attack by replacing Jadon Sancho with Brighton star Kaoru Mitoma.
      Former United star Paul Parker told MyBettingSites: “I would love to see him at Man United but then they have to offload some of their wingers and they could start with getting rid of Jadon Sancho. I would rather have Mitoma in the squad than him.
      “He has proven himself in the Premier League and I doubt that Sancho will ever do that.
      “I think he should go back to Germany and play in his comfort zone where he is best.”
      De Gea future
      Manchester United star David de Gea has turned down a new contract as the club attempts a pay cut on his current £375,000-a-week deal.
      According to The Athletic, United’s opening proposal has been rejected by De Gea.
      Manager Erik ten Hag is keen for the Spain international to remain his first-choice goalkeeper for many more years.
      And while the 32-year-old wants to stay at Old Trafford, he also feels his performances warrant him still being one of the best-paid players in the team.
      Rashford rubbishes claims
      Manchester United star Marcus Rashford has dismissed claims he is asking for up to £500,000-a-week in wages to extend his contract.
      Rashford tweeted: “Just before this one starts to do the rounds! It’s complete nonsense.
      “The club and myself have been respectful to one another, and that’s how it will remain.
      “My focus is purely on finishing as well as possible in the league and winning trophies.”
