      Kylian Mbappe tells Man Utd they’re getting ‘very complete’ striker if they SNUB Harry Kane for World Cup star

      by

      KYLIAN MBAPPE has told admirers of one of his French teammates that they would be getting a “very complete” striker if they were to sign him. Speculation is mounting over the £105m-rated Randal Kolo Muani who is enjoying a brilliant season in Germany.

      His goalscoring ability has not gone unnoticed either with the 24-year-old on the radar of Manchester United alongside Harry Kane and Victor Osimhen as they prepare to land a top quality striker in the summer.
      And new France captain Mbappe, arguably the best player in the world, was happy to offer his take on the Eintracht Frankfurt forward.
      Speaking after their 4-0 win over Holland at the weekend, the PSG star said: “He is a striker who offers different game options to our team. He is very complete and has an impressive volume of play. 
      “We are happy with the game he played on Friday.”

      Kolo Muani did not hit the net in the victory but impressed with another dynamic, all-action display.
      The striker has only made seven appearances for France and has just one goal to his name, but it was in the World Cup semi-final to help seal the win against Morocco back in December.
      Kolo Muani can expect more football at international level in the coming years with Karim Benzema retiring from France duty in the days following Les Bleus’ World Cup Final defeat.
      Meanwhile, the country’s all-time top scorer Olivier Giroud is 36 and likely won’t be leading the line in the 2026 World Cup.

      The future is also exciting at club level for Kolo Muani.
      Man United have been repeatedly linked to the striker in their bid to find a long-term replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo.
      And the interest could be mutual with the Frenchman dropping a huge hint earlier this month that he is open to a move away from Frankfurt.
      He said of his future: “We talk about it a lot already, but I try to be focused on my club.
      “We continue our performances and we will see this summer. Afterwards, I always dreamed of playing in big clubs.”
      Kolo Muani has 11 goals and 10 assists in the Bundesliga this season. More

      Man Utd ‘already negotiating Ruben Neves transfer as Barcelona pull plug on deal to sign in-demand Wolves midfielder’

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED are “already negotiating” a transfer for Ruben Neves as Barcelona pull out of the race for the Wolves star, according to reports. The midfielder has long been linked with the Premier League’s biggest clubs after consistently impressing at Molineux.

      Neves arrived in the midlands from Porto in 2017 and is close approaching his 250th appearance for the club.
      But with the 26-year-old out of contact at the end of next season, Wolves now face a dilemma of whether to cash in on the star in the summer or potentially let him go for free a year later.
      Fichajes claim Man United are already making quick progress to land their long term target.
      The Red Devils are reported to be in talks already for Neves with the summer transfer window fast approaching.

      In a further boost for the club, the Spanish outlet claim that Barcelona are no longer interested in the Portuguese international.
      Xavi is reported to think the star does not fit the Catalan giant’s “profile” despite reports often linking him with a Nou Camp switch.
      The Spanish side are believed to be looking for a player to sit in front of the defence, possibly as a replacement for club legend Sergio Busquets who could leave at the end of the season.
      But Neves has often played in a slightly more advance role for Wolves, which has often seen him score amazing goals on his voyages forward.

      United manager Erik ten Hag has already done plenty of business to revamp his midfield.
      Scott McTominay and Fred have gone from regular starters under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to bench players this season as high quality recruitments took their place.
      Five times Champions League winner Casemiro was brought in last summer alongside former Tottenham star Christian Eriksen.
      An injury to the Dane in January saw United enter the market again to bring in Marcel Sabitzer on loan from Bayern Munich. More

      There is now serious speculation over his future this summer amid reports that agent Jorge Mendes has offered Fati to “half of Europe”.
      The winger’s father, Bori Fati, is reported to have had a meeting with Barcelona representatives where they discussed the ace’s future.
      The meeting reportedly lasted an hour with director of football Mateu Alemany and sporting advisor Jordi Cruyff believed to be present.

      This is despite the attacker appearing in all but two of Barcelona’s league games this season.
      He has three goals and three assists from his 24 matches this season as he enjoys his first campaign without serious injury concerns in years.
      Fati’s contract runs until 2027 which would ease any immediate pressure on Barca to sell up.

      The Spanish international could further strengthen the Red Devils’ options on the flanks for next season and could compete with the likes of Marcus Rashford, Antony, Jadon Sancho and Alejandro Garnacho for a starting berth.
      But other Premier League clubs are believed to be interested as well with reports claiming Arsenal and Liverpool are keeping an eye on Fati.
      The situation is further complicated by Barcelona’s financial issues which could leave the Catalan club needing to sell some big names in the next transfer window. More

      Man Utd and Arsenal in Dusan Vlahovic transfer boost as Juventus ‘prepare for life without’ Serbia striker

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED and Arsenal have reportedly received a huge boost in their pursuit to sign Juventus star Dusan Vlahovic.SunSport revealed last month that Erik ten Hag has made Tottenham star Harry Kane his No1 transfer target this summer.

      Kane, 29, has less than 18 months remaining on his deal and United are hoping to take advantage of the England captain’s contract situation.
      But as we stated previously, they are still anticipating a “nightmare” pursuit as Spurs chief Daniel Levy is renowned as a tough negotiator.
      That has led to Ten Hag identifying striking alternatives, and Vlahovic is among his top picks.
      Now he has received a boost as La Gazzetta dello Sport claims that Juventus are “preparing for life without” the forward.
      READ MORE ON MAN UTD
      And it also states that they have identified potential replacements for him.
      Juve are believed to be plotting moves for either West Ham’s Gianluca Scamacca, who has struggled in the Premier league, and Galatasaray’s Nicolo Zaniolo.
      Vlahovic, 23, joined Juventus from Fiorentina back in January 2022 after snubbing the chance to move to the Premier League with Arsenal.
      Mikel Arteta’s side were desperate to bring the Serbian international to the Emirates – but he rejected them in favour of Turin – but they are still keen.

      Vlahovic has scored eleven goals this term but has struggled for goals over recent weeks for his club.
      He has just one in his last eight appearances.
      And, after Juve’s early Champions League exit left them needing to raise funds, he could find himself as one of their stars to be sacrificed once the transfer window re-opens this summer. More

      Ramos has scored 24 goals in 36 appearances for Benfica so far this season.
      However, he is understood to be disappointed that club chiefs have not yet rewarded him for his efforts with a new and improved contract.

      Last summer, Benfica president Rui Costa reportedly promised the striker a salary increase which is yet to materialise.
      Ramos still has over three years remaining on his deal, which expires in June 2026, but he is growing increasingly frustrated with his current situation.
      If he does decide to leave Lisbon in the summer, any potential suitors would have to trigger his huge £105.6million release clause.

      However, Greenwood’s career hit the skids in January 2022 when he was arrested after a woman made allegations against him.
      He was charged with attempted rape, assault and controlling and coercive behaviour.
      He appeared before magistrates and was told he would face trial later this year.
      But in February the Crown Prosecution Service dropped charges after several alleged witnesses refused to co-operate.
      READ MORE ON MAN UTD
      United, who had suspended him on full pay, announced they would hold an internal investigation into the circumstances around his arrest.
      The Sun revealed he has spoken to manager Erik ten Hag and met with club officials — but his future at the club remains unclear.
      Now The Athletic are claiming that several teams from Turkey have contacted the Red Devils regarding a transfer move for the one-capped England international.
      But the club has turned down all approaches.
      Most read in Football
      It is also reported in this update that the still suspended forward would “run through a brick wall to be back playing for United now”. 
      Greenwood’s last appearance for the club was on January 22, 2022, when they beat West Ham 1-0 at Old Trafford.
      United released a short statement when the CPS dropped charges against the £70,000-a-week player, who is under contract until 2025, that read: “Manchester United notes the decision of the Crown Prosecution Service that all charges against Mason Greenwood have been dropped.
      “The club will now conduct its own process before determining next steps. We will not make any further comment until that process is complete.”
      Meanwhile, SunSport recently revealed plans for Greenwood to marry his pregnant partner in the summer. More

      The Premier League club has rejected offers made for the 21-year-old by Turkish teams, The Athletic reports.
      It signals the club could be paving the way for his return.

      He was arrested later that month and charged in October with attempted rape, assault occasioning actual bodily harm and engaging in coercive and controlling behaviour.
      Those charges were dropped last month, with the Crown Prosecution Service blaming the withdrawal of key witnesses and discovery of new material.
      New developments meant there was “no longer a realistic prospect of conviction”, it added.
      Greenwood released a statement after the decision, which read: “I am relieved that this matter is now over and I would like to thank my family, loved ones and friends for their support. There will be no further comment.”
      Most read in Football
      But Greenwood still faces an internal club investigation over whether to keep him with Man Utd or part ways.
      The star has a £70,000-a-week contract with the club until 2025 but he won’t return to the game until the probe ends.
      The squad is allegedly “split” over the player’s return, according to The Times.
      It is believed the United manager, Erik ten Hag, has spoken to Greenwood to check up on his wellbeing.
      A club spokesman said: “Manchester United notes the decision of the Crown Prosecution Service that all charges against Mason Greenwood have been dropped.
      “The club will now conduct its own process before determining next steps. We will not make any further comment until that process is complete.”
      The United academy graduate, who has scored 35 goals in 129 appearances for the club, is currently training away from Carrington.
      It comes after Greenwood recently learned his partner is pregnant with his first child.
      The couple is “looking forward” to the summer arrival.
      It is understood Greewood could face a TV interview as part of a “phased approach” to his comeback.
      And he has held face-to-face meetings with Man Utd bosses since the charges against him were dropped.
      Meanwhile, a top sports lawyer said Greenwood may have lost “millions” after being dropped by major sponsors Nike.
      A PR expert added that any club taking him on, should United let him go, would take on a huge financial risk.

      Despite this, a Champions League team have made “enquiries” over a possible transfer, while Greenwood himself was reported to be eyeing a move abroad to restart his career if he’s dropped by his current club.

      Thursday was the first time that the South American nation had actually taken to the pitch since their World Cup win and the scenes were incredible at the Estadio Monumental in Buenos Aires.
      As the Argentine national anthem rang out from the 80,000-plus crowd, fireworks soon began to light up the sky.
      The whole place was then rocking as Lionel Messi and Cristian Romero stood there trying to take it all in.
      But it all proved a little too much for Aston Villa stopper Emi Martinez as he broke down in tears.

      United defender Martinez, 25, was determined to look his very best for the occasion and ensured that he had a snazzy new hair do.
      He shared footage of himself sitting in the barber’s chair revealing his new short back and sides, with wavy blonde streaks added to the top of his barnet.
