      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.”
      Brighton’s Mitoma ‘should replace Sancho’
      Man United have been urged to freshen up their attack.
      That’s by replacing Jadon Sancho with Brighton star Kaoru Mitoma.
      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.”

      Exclusive by SunSport’s Jack Rosser
      Brighton are plotting to hand a new deal to teen sensation Evan Ferguson.
      The Ireland international is wanted by Man United, Chelsea and Liverpool after a stunning breakthrough season.
      And there is also strong interest from Spurs.
      But despite only giving him a new deal in autumn, Brighton are ready to improve Ferguson’s terms on another fresh contract immediately.
      Bellingham boost for Red Devils
      Man Utd have received a boost in their pursuit of Jude Bellingham.
      That’s because Real Madrid are only willing to spend £88million on the England star.
      United are one of several clubs hoping to sign Bellingham, who is set to leave Borussia Dortmund.
      Real are favourites to sign him, but they are only able to spent up to £88m… significantly less than what Dortmund are looking for.
      Potential United XI next season
      Man Utd are set to dip into the transfer market this summer.
      And they could line up in a totally different way next season.
      United could boast a new goalie and striker in their XI, as well as a playmaker and right-back.
      Is this how United will look under Erik ten Hag for the 2023/24 campaign?

      United in hunt for Mount
      Man United are firmly in the race to sign Chelsea contract rebel Mason Mount.
      BonusCodeBets has the Red Devils down as second-favourite for the England midfielder behind rivals Liverpool.
      Man City are third in the race for Mount, who looks likely to depart Stamford Bridge for around £50million in the summer.
      He has also been strongly linked with a Thomas Tuchel reunion at Bayern Munich.
      De Gea future remains uncertain
      Manchester United star David de Gea has rejected 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 dismissed by De Gea.
      Manager Erik ten Hag is keen for the Spain international to remain his first-choice goalkeeper for many years to come.
      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 squad.
      United target gets Barcelona message
      Manchester United have been put on red alert after Barcelona star Ansu Fati was urged to quit the Nou Camp by his dad.
      Bori Fati said: “It bothers me how they are treating Ansu. I am very disappointed, Ansu deserved much more.
      “As a father, I see Ansu [playing] for a short time and it p****s me off but I think as a father, not as a coach.
      “I have told Ansu that it is better for him to have a change of scenery.[But] Ansu does not agree with me. He wants to stay and succeed at Barcelona.”
      Erik ‘jealous’ of flying Gunners
      Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has been accused of jealousy after bemoaning Arsenal’s luck with injuries.
      Sutton told BettingSites: “That could well be a bit of sour grapes maybe from Ten Hag.
      “I don’t think that you can say Arsenal have been lucky with injuries. The players have obviously been doing the right things and working hard.
      “Ten Hag has done well but he’s probably jealous to be looking and seeing Arsenal just miles ahead of them at the minute.”

      Good morning Man Utd fans
      Manchester United legend Sir Alex Ferguson has become the first ever manager, along with Arsenal great Arsene Wenger, to be inducted into the Premier League Hall of Fame.
      Fergie said: “It’s an honour when you receive recognition like this. However, it’s not just about me as a person.
      “It’s about the job at Manchester United and the bond we had over many years, so I’m also proud for the club, the staff and my players.
      “My job was to send the fans home happy. United’s history and my own expectations were the things that drove me, and I then had to try and develop all my players with the same expectations and make sure we could go out and achieve them.”
      Meanwhile, United star David de Gea has rejected a new contract as the club attempts a pay cut on his current £375,000-a-week deal.
      According to The Athletic, the Red Devils’ opening proposal has been dismissed by De Gea.
      Manager Erik ten Hag is keen for the Spain international to remain his first-choice goalkeeper for many more years.
      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 squad.
      And United have been put on red alert after Barcelona star Ansu Fati was urged to quit the Nou Camp by his dad.
      Bori Fati said: “It bothers me how they are treating Ansu. I am very disappointed, Ansu deserved much more.
      “As a father, I see Ansu [playing] for a short time and it p****s me off but I think as a father, not as a coach.
      “I have told Ansu that it is better for him to have a change of scenery.[But] Ansu does not agree with me. He wants to stay and succeed at Barcelona.”
      Finally, United have given Ten Hag the green light to bid £80million for Tottenham superstar Harry Kane.
      And the Red Devils want to wrap up a deal to sign Kane before the end of the season.
      The 29-year-old is a long-term target for the Manchester giants, who desperately want a new striker this summer after axing Cristiano Ronaldo.
      But it remains to be seen if Spurs are finally willing to sell the England captain after all those years
      Chris of life
      Manchester United star Christian Eriksen is ahead of schedule and could be back in action in just 10 days.
      Eriksen, 31, was expected to be out until May with an ankle injury he suffered.
      But the playmaker has returned to training and there is optimism around the club that he could be available soon.
      Eriksen said: “It is going well. I have just started being outside with football boots on.
      “And then we take it from there, that is the next step. I have been in the gym for some weeks now and now it is time to do the next rehab session outside.”

      Jim in a jam
      Manchester United could miss out on Champions League qualification even if Jim Ratcliffe takes over and they finish in the top four.
      The issue stems from Ratcliffe, who is Britain’s richest man, owning Nice.
      Under UEFA rules, that would mean if the Red Devils and the Ligue 1 club both finish in Champions League qualification spots, only the side finishing higher could be allowed to enter the competition.
      So if Nice come third in France and United finished fourth in the Premier League, then Ratcliffe’s Frenchmen would make it.
      Just a Min
      Manchester United have been handed a blow in their pursuit of Napoli star Kim Min-jae as Liverpool have entered the bidding war.
      Paris Saint-Germain and Tottenham have also been linked, but United are believed to be the favourites to sign Kim.
      However, the Red Devils could be blown out of the water as Rai claim the Reds are intending to offer £60million for the centre-back.
      The Merseysiders could be in the market for a new defender this summer to bolster manager Jurgen Klopp’s options.
      Brentford’s Raya replacement
      Manchester United have been handed a boost in their attempts to sign Brentford star David Raya.
      Raya, 27, has become one of the most sought-after goalkeepers in the Premier League after his impressive displays.
      The Spain international is keen on a challenge after turning down two contract offers to stay with the Bees.
      Raya’s current deal expires at the end of next season, and the club are now lining up a move for his potential replacement.
      And Brentford have identified Freiburg star Mark Flekken.
      Marcel Sabitzer blow
      Manchester United could miss out on the permanent signing of Marcel Sabitzer, who moved to Old Trafford on loan in January.
      Sabitzer could be kept at Bayern Munich with new manager Thomas Tuchel set to make the decision on his future.
      According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the midfielder is keen on continuing his career with Erik ten Hag as his manager.
      However, the Austria international’s deal with United does not include an option to buy and therefore it will be up to the Bavarians and Tuchel to decide if he will be sold.
      Under former manager Julian Nagelsmann, it had seemed that the 29-year-old’s career at the Allianz Arena was over, but that could now change.
      Romano suggests that the final decision will be made “around May/June” time.

      Ferguson and Wenger friendship
      Manchester United legend Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsenal great 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!”
      Gift of the Gab
      Manchester United have been dealt a transfer blow as Celta Vigo star Gabri Veiga is “dreaming about joining Arsenal”.
      According to Faro de Vigo, Napoli are “willing to activate” Veiga’s £35.2million release clause in the summer transfer window.
      But it seems that the playmaker has no desire to move to Naples – with the publication instead saying that he wants to “fulfil the dream of signing for Arsenal”.
      The Gunners are allegedly the 20-year-old’s “favourite” team and both he and his representatives like the club’s commitment towards youth and the sporting project being led by Mikel Arteta.
      Ten Hag ‘jealousy’
      Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has been accused of jealousy after bemoaning Arsenal’s luck with injuries.
      Sutton told BettingSites: “That could well be a bit of sour grapes maybe from Ten Hag.
      “I don’t think that you can say Arsenal have been lucky with injuries. The players have obviously been doing the right things and working hard.
      “They’ll be doing stuff pre-training to make sure they’re conditioned and ready to play. And then warming down correctly after games.
      “That’s not to say Manchester United players aren’t doing the same things but in some seasons you get more injuries than other seasons.
      “But you know, as a consequence of Arsenal having that continuity while they’re doing so well. Ten Hag has done well but he’s probably jealous to be looking and seeing Arsenal just miles ahead of them at the minute.”
      Rice is right
      Arsenal are becoming more confident they will win the transfer race to land West Ham star and Manchester United target Declan Rice this summer.
      Rice is also attracting interest from Chelsea ahead of the summer transfer window.
      According to the Evening Standard the Gunner are confident of winning the battle for the midfielder.
      That works as a major transfer blow for United, who are looking for midfield reinforcement.

      Harry Kane bid
      Manchester United have given manager Erik ten Hag the green light to bid £80million for Tottenham superstar Harry Kane.
      And United want to wrap up a deal to sign Kane before the end of the season.
      The 29-year-old is a long-term target for the Red Devils who desperately want a new striker this summer after axing Cristiano Ronaldo.
      But it remains to be seen if Spurs are finally willing to sell the England captain.
      Fati transfer boost
      Manchester United have been put on red alert after Barcelona star Ansu Fati was urged to quit the Nou Camp by his dad.
      Bori Fati said: “It bothers me how they are treating Ansu. I am very disappointed, Ansu deserved much more.
      “As a father, I see Ansu [playing] for a short time and it p****s me off but I think as a father, not as a coach.

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED transfer target Kim Min-jae has issued a grovelling apology after saying he “didn’t want to focus on his national team” following a loss with South Korea.The defender, 26, made the controversial remark following his side’s 2-1 loss to Uruguay, which came just days after a draw with Colombia.

      Kim has been outstanding for runaway Serie A leaders Napoli this term as they close in on a first title since the Diego Maradona-inspired 1990 team.
      That has helped transform him into a national hero back in his homeland, but his legion of fans vented their anger towards him as he seemed to have little interest in discussing South Korea’s fortunes after their recent setback.
      According to Corriere dello Sport, he said: “I am mentally tired and I only want to focus on my club at the moment, not on the national team, I have nothing more to say now.”
      However, after the comments went down like a lead balloon, Kim has since apologised on social media as he blamed injury and fatigue for his response.

      He said: “I apologise to them and the players who were surprised by my words.
      “I had a minor injury and I have recovered. I’ve played many games and I never spared myself.
      “I collapsed mentally and had an outburst. I apologise again and ask the fans always to support us.”
      United and Liverpool are two of the clubs eyeing a move for the centre-half, who has played 35 matches for Napoli since his £15.9m move from Fenerbahce last summer.

      However, he recently hit back at reports that he could leave at the end of the season.
      Kim, who has a £44m release clause in his contract, said: “As you know, those rumours are not true at all. I want to focus on my team. I have many tournaments to play.
      “It’s been four years I have had these rumours. It’s uncomfortable. I wish you don’t spread those stories.
      “I cannot be bothered by transfer rumours because they aren’t true. Now I’m focusing on the team, rather than that kind of nonsense.” More

      Man Utd facing Evan Ferguson transfer blow as Brighton line up new mega contract for 18-year-old wonderkid

      BRIGHTON are lining up a new deal for teenage star Evan Ferguson.The striker, 18, has enjoyed a sensational breakthrough season.

      Despite only agreeing a professional contract in October, the Seagulls are now preparing fresh terms to ward off any interest.
      Ferguson’s form since making the step up to the first team has caught the eye of the Premier League’s big clubs.
      Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea all tried to nab Ferguson ahead of Brighton when he made the move over from Bohemians in Ireland two years ago.
      And their interest has not gone away thanks to his seven goals and three assists in 16 senior appearances this season.
      READ MORE ON FOOTBALL
      Tottenham have also been linked with a move for the Republic of Ireland international, who scored on his first start for Stephen Kelly’s side against Latvia last week.
      Despite the interest, Ferguson is keen to continue his growth at The Amex following a flying start under Italian boss Roberto De Zerbi, who has been full of praise for the young striker.

      Earlier this month, De Zerbi said: “He is unique for us in terms of quality, in terms of characteristic.
      “He knows very well the way to score. I think he can and he has to improve, in the quality of play, in ball possession, to keep the ball better.

      “But he is 18 and he will improve for sure, because I know the guy, I know his passion, his attitude. I have no doubt.”
      Ferguson would be the latest in a host of Brighton stars to commit to new deals this season.
      Moises Caicedo, Solly March, Alexis Mac Allister and Adam Lallana have all agreed contract extensions since De Zerbi’s arrival last year.
      And Japan international Kaoru Mitoma could soon be due one as well. More

      Man Utd told to ditch flop winger Jadon Sancho and seal Kaoru Mitoma transfer as Brighton star is ‘rare’ winger

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED should get rid of Jadon Sancho and replace him with Brighton winger Kaoru Mitoma, according to Red Devils legend Paul Parker.Sancho, 23, has started just two Premier League games since October as the England star continues to struggle to settle at Old Trafford.

      He has registered just 10 goals and four assists in 63 appearances since arriving from Borussia Dortmund for £73million in 2021.
      By contrast, Mitoma, 25, has been a standout player in the Premier League this season.
      Joining Brighton for £2.7m in 2021 before being loaned out to Union Saint-Gilloise until last summer, the Japanese international has hit the ground running since breaking into the Seagulls’ side.
      His five goals and one assist show just a fraction of the impact he has had on Roberto De Zerbi’s side and the south-coast outfit could command a big fee.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      But Parker, who won two Premier League titles with Man Utd, believes he would be worth it as he can be a defender’s nightmare.
      Speaking to MyBettingSites, he said: “Mitoma gave Trent-Alexander Arnold a very bad time but to be fair, a lot of people have done that.
      “I really like him. He is very direct and he wants to go on the outside of his opponent, which is a rarity in today’s football. No defender wants that and he is very good at that.”
      Parker, who received 19 England caps, is aware bringing in transfer target Mitoma would likely see one of United’s forwards exit the club.

      Erik ten Hag is blessed with an array of options either side of the frontman including Marcus Rashford, Antony, Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho, Anthony Martial, Anthony Elanga, Bruno Fernandes and Facundo Pellistri.
      But Parker insists he would have no problem with his old club axing Sancho.

      He added: “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.
      “But if he comes to the club Man United needs to figure out what to do with Rashford, who is best at the left wing. But that’s a luxury problem to have two good wingers.” More

      In the build-up to the next transfer window, the Red Devils have been heavily tipped to make a move for England top scorer Harry Kane.
      The Spurs star, 29, is believed to be at the top of the club’s wishlist as they look to sign a top-class No.9.
      Kane’s deal at Tottenham expires at the end of next season and United are hopeful that they can pick him up for £80million.

      Kane would fit into the club’s style and would be in familiar surroundings with England internationals Marcus Rashford, Luke Shaw, Jadon Sancho and Harry Maguire already at there.
      Another striker option for Ten Hag is Napoli’s leading goalscorer Victor Osimhen.
      The striker, 24, has excelled in Serie A this season and has consistently been linked with a move to Old Trafford.
      The club could also have to sign a replacement for goalkeeper David de Gea.

      While Man United have also been rumoured to have an interest in Porto goalkeeper Diogo Costa, 23, who is one of the highest-rated goalkeepers in Europe this season.
      Ten Hag is also reportedly on the lookout for a new midfielder that would be able to replace Marcel Sabitzer and Barcelona’s Gavi could be a decent option.

      Man United have also been consistently linked with West Ham captain Decland Rice.
      The England international looks set to leave the Hammers this season, although the Red Devils will have to challenge Arsenal and Chelsea for his signature.
      Ten Hag is also desperate to sign a new right-back to upgrade on his options of Diogo Dalot and Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
      Inter Milan’s Denzel Dumfries and Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong have both been reportedly looked at by the club. More

      Spanish newspaper AS claim Real Madrid have set a limit on how much they will pay for BellinghamCredit: AS
      Spanish newspaper AS claim Real Madrid will not fork out more than £88million for Bellingham.
      The La Liga giants are adamant that they will not overpay for the 19-year-old.
      It’s thought Real hope to persuade Bellingham to snub a Premier League move and tempt him to the Bernabeu thanks to the club’s “legendary history”.
      But Real are refusing to enter a bidding war for Bellingham – on both the transfer fee and his salary.

      The club know any potential fee is in the same sort of ballpark as what they would have to pay for a striker.
      Karim Benzema is 35-years-old and Real know buying a new goalscorer in the near future will not be cheap, meaning they do not want to overpay for Bellingham.
      Liverpool and City are reported to be the two front runners for his signature.
      Borussia Dortmund are also hopeful of keeping Bellingham for another season, and reportedly plan on offering him a contract extension with a mammoth pay rise and release clause for 2024.

      Real Madrid president Florentino Perez and Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke are said to be good friends.

      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.

      And one angry supporter added: “Wrexham vs #ManchesterUnited tickets prices are wild. Ticketmaster be bugging.”
      And in a nod to the cost of living crisis, another irate fan posted: “$300/ticket for nose bleeds after fees!!! What a joke, family of four can’t enjoy anything anymore.”

      The two actors were so intimidated they actually ended the call thinking Ferguson was playing mind games without realising they were on mute the whole time.
      It was, of course, pure theatre for the talented actors.
      Wrexham will be hoping to be back in the EFL by the time they face the Manchester giants as they are currently jostling with Notts County in the National League.
      United, though, are currently not focused on that friendly as they will be challenging for the FA Cup as well as Europa League, while looking to seal at least third place in the Premier League. More

      According to Fabrizio Romano, the Austrian is keen on continuing his career with Erik ten Hag as his manager.

      Under former manager Julian Nagelsmann, it had seemed that Sabitzer’s career at Bayern was over, but that could now change.
      The report suggests that the final decision will be made “around May/June” time.
