      Brandon Williams is also still an option for Ten Hag in that area.
      According to AS, Al-Nassr have identified Telles as someone they would like to sign on a permanent deal.

      Borussia Dortmund have slapped a £130million asking price on the midfielder which has deterred Liverpool’s interest, but United are still in the running.
      And United could hold a secret weapon in the form of new director of football negotiations Chris Hargreaves, according to the Daily Mail.
      The former Adidas executive was appointed last month following the departure of Matt Judge last year.
      Hargreaves will be negotiating deals for the club and it’s been reported he has accepted terms with United and will start before the summer transfer window.

      He previously worked as a marketing director at Adidas and focused on players and scouting, and he looked after several major clients – including Bellingham.
      And United will hope that gives them the upper hand in the battle to sign the 19-year-old.
      It comes amid reports Real Madrid are set to send officials to Germany in an attempt to lure Bellingham to the club.
      They are understood to have a “direct” line of communication with the former Birmingham star.

      Manchester City are also keen on the wonderkid and began making efforts to sign him last October.
      The club invited Bellingham into the dressing room following a 0-0 draw with Dortmund and presented him with a shirt signed by Erling Haaland.
      Pep Guardiola has reportedly made signing Bellingham his priority and City are confident of winning a bidding war that could also see Chelsea battle for his signature. More

      Dean Henderson ‘faces four months out due to surgery throwing Man Utd future into doubt’

      by

      DEAN HENDERSON faces an uncertain future after being told he faces an additional three-months on the sidelines.The 26-year-old goalkeeper left Manchester United at the start of the season in order to join Nottingham Forest on a season-long loan.
      Dean Henderson is facing an uncertain future after a setback in his injury recoveryCredit: Getty
      The England international suffered a thigh injury back in January for the Premier League strugglers which would later rule him out of the rest of the campaign.
      Now The MEN is reporting that Henderson requires an operation on the thigh tear that is now expected to keep him out until August.
      Scans had initially revealed that he had suffered a grade two tear that would take between four and six weeks to heal.
      But he has already been out for three months and now his possible return date “may affect his chances of a departure in the summer”.
      READ MORE ON MAN UTD
      United are currently in a contract stand-off with No1 David De Gea over an extension.
      Henderson had previously hit out at how he was treated by ex-manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer upon joining Forest after losing his place to the Spaniard.
      Erik ten Hag spoke to the stopper in January over a potential return to Old Trafford from Forest after Martin Dubravka’s loan at United ended as he headed back to Newcastle.
      However, Henderson informed him that he had no desire to play back-up to De Gea after being restricted to just three appearances last term.

      The Red Devils then refused to give him permission to play for Forest against them in the Carabao Cup semi-finals – although he ended up being injured anyway.
      Henderson is under contract until 2025, with the option of an additional year, but United know that he is one of their current squad that has a large resale value.
      But with the prospect of missing the entire pre-season, that could put off any potential suitors keen on him.
      Henderson has been at the club since the age of 14 and made his senior debut in September 2020 and has played a total of 29 times for the first-team.
      Meanwhile, United are reportedly eyeing a move for Dinamo Zagreb goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic after the 28-year-old’s superb displays for Croatia at the World Cup.
      Elsewhere, the Red Devils have reportedly sent scouts to watch Portuguese stopper Diogo Costa.
      Brentford’s David Raya has also been touted with a switch after rejecting two contract offers from the Bees as the club line-up potential replacements for De Gea should no new deal be agreed. More

      Their 26-year-old talisman has endured a difficult campaign on the injury front, but he has still managed to fire in nine goals and provide seven assists.
      However, despite being the frontrunner to claim their player of the year prize, the Telegraph claims that his five-year spell at Leicester will come to an end this summer.
      The club desperately need to balance their books following a record £92.5m loss in their financial accounts and Maddison is their biggest saleable asset.
      Maddison is also about to enter the final 12 months of his contract, which means this is the last opportunity for Leicester to cash-in rather than risk losing him for nothing next year.

      And he has a host of teams chasing his services including Manchester United, Tottenham and Newcastle.
      The Magpies have been long-time admirers of Maddison and even lodged two bids worth £40million and £45m last summer.

      However, both offers were turned down and the player stayed put.
      Since then Maddison has gone on to enjoy a fine campaign with the struggling Foxes and earned a place in Gareth Southgate’s England World Cup squad.

      But so do United, and both are expected to table bids of between £45m and £60m for him.
      Managerless Tottenham also want the ace, and they are believed to be readying a move of their own to try and snatch him from their rivals.
      The former Coventry City and Norwich man was also recently likened to Man City’s £100m man Jack Grealish, who boss Dean Smith managed previously at Aston Villa.
      Smith said: “I think they are different types of players but they both know they’ve got ability and want to push themselves to become the best.
      “I think when you’ve got players that have that personality and character they push you as coaches and you want to go and help them become better players. James seems to have that as well.
      “He’s always looking to see what he can do better. He’s really engaging in the meetings we have and tactical meetings, and very vocal as well. I can see that similarity (with Grealish) of wanting to push himself.
      “I’m liking what I’m seeing in training so far and he’s not disappointed in the games either. All the players are really focused and James is certainly one of them.” More

      He also allegedly lost millions of pounds in failed property deals that shattered the former footballer’s wealth.
      His former team-mates are believed to have rallied around the ex-England defender, including Wayne Rooney and Michael Carrick.
      While free school meals hero Rashford has gone one further by letting him one of his lavish properties on a budget deal.
      Brown, 43, spent 19 years at Manchester United – coming through the academy to make 262 appearances, winning 11 major trophies.

      He also earned 23 senior caps for the Three Lions before finishing his club career with spells at Sunderland, Blackburn and then Kerala Blasters in India.
      But the Daily Mail claim he fell into a six-figure debt with HMRC and failed on car repayments.

      It is said the former £50,000-a-week ace only owed a few thousand pounds to the car finance firm.

      But it was a series of property deals that went wrong and scuppered the 1999 Treble winner, known as one of the nicest men in football.
      Brown lived a lavish lifestyle during his 20-year relationship with his wife and the mother of his three children Leanne from Real Housewives of Cheshire.
      However, a costly divorce has left him in the red.
      A source told the Mail: “It may seem like Wes was earning big money — to most people he was — but the trouble was he was also trying to keep up with the lifestyle of team-mates earning five or six times more than he was.
      “Most of his money disappeared in bad property deals. He overpaid on the farm that Leanne lives in. He spent something like £6million or £7m to buy that.
      “They have tried to sell it but haven’t managed to, even after lowering the price to £4.75m. Any money left is tied up in the farm. 
      “A previous property of theirs was once listed at £4.5m but took seven years to sell, finally going for £2.4million — almost half price.”
      The report adds that Leanne thought she was owed a whopping £500,000 from fellow former Housewives co-star Dawn Ward.
      However, Brown’s ex-wife is said to have written off that debt.

      Alan Shearer wants Harry Kane to seal Newcastle transfer and break his Prem goalscoring record ahead of Man Utd

      ALAN SHEARER put the cat among the pigeons – or Magpies – by wondering if Harry Kane will join Newcastle over Manchester United.Gary Lineker warned 260-goal Prem record scorer Shearer that Kane is “coming for you” – after the Tottenham striker hit his 208th on Sunday.

      And social media joined in the teasing as well as the transfer speculation.
      Spurs hope to keep Kane but United boss Erik ten Hag wants a new world-class No 9.
      The England skipper and Napoli’s Victor Osimhen are regarded as prime targets – at around £100million.
      And after Lineker posted his jibe at Shearer – complete with a winking emoji – the Toon icon responded: “But will he break it in a Newcastle shirt or a Man Utd shirt!!?”

      One fan urged Kane: “Go abroad and leave the legend as top scorer of all time!”
      But another Magpies supporter said: “I’d love him here. He’s a beast of a striker. He’d score a boat load here.”
      The Toon, however, are on a free-scoring high in third place, Callum Wilson netting twice in Sunday’s 3-1 comeback win over Southampton.
      One fan claimed: “Surely Newcastle wouldn’t want him. Have Wilson and (Alexander) Isak already.”

      Such views included: “Think Man Utd will do everything possible to get him for next season!”
      And a neutral posted: “Definitely a Man Utd shirt. U have Isak.”
      Kane suffered more frustration the field as Spurs slumped to a last-gasp 4-3 loss at Liverpool this weekend.
      Tottenham recovered from being 3-0 down inside 15 minutes, inspired by Kane’s 39th-minute volley.
      But after Richarlison levelled three minutes into stoppage time, Diogo Jota slotted a calm winner for the Reds.
      And although Kane is now level with Wayne Rooney as the Prem’s second-highest scorer ever, one fan hinted at why the 29-year-old might consider moving: “208 goals 0 trophies.” More
