      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.

      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

      And Portuguese superstar Ramos, who was the first player to score a hat-trick at last year’s World Cup, has emerged as a top target.
      According to Portuguese outlet Record, Man Utd want to sign the 21-year-old.
      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.
      Read More on Man Utd
      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.
      Man Utd have already been informed that they will have to pay over £100m for top target Harry Kane.

      And Napoli’s Victor Osimhen, who is also on Erik ten Hag’s transfer wishlist, will cost more than both players.

      Man Utd ‘reject Mason Greenwood transfer offers from Turkey’ with striker desperate to play for club again

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED have reportedly rejected several offers from Turkish clubs for Mason Greenwood.The 21-year-old forward had an astronomical rise through the United ranks from the academy to the first team.

      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.
      And Greenwood is willing to “run through a brick wall to be back playing for Man United”, sources claim.
      Greenwood hasn’t played professionally since January 2022 when the Red Devils beat West Ham at Old Trafford.

      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.
      Read More on The Sun
      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.

      SEPTEMBER 2020: Wins his first senior England cap as a sub in a 1-0 away win over Iceland, left. Two days later he is withdrawn from the squad for breaching Covid guidelines by leaving the part of the hotel the squad was in.

      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.

      Argentina capped the night off with a victory over Panama in their friendly thanks to Thiago Almada and Messi before a special ceremony was then held where each player received a replica World Cup trophy to lift as their WAGS joined them out on the pitch.
      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.
      But as the clip went viral, cheeky Harrogate Town ace Jack Muldoon had fans in stitches as he shared a GIF of Prison Break character T-Bag.

      Two Man Utd and England stars hold talks to switch international allegiance after being left in the cold

      by

      TWO Manchester United stars have reportedly held talks about switching their allegiance from England in a bid to get international football. The Three Lions have begun attempts to qualify for Euro 2024, with victory over Italy giving Gareth Southgate’s side the best possible start.

      But competition to get into the squad let alone the starting line-up remains incredibly fierce with well-known Premier League names left out.
      And Red Devils stars Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Axel Tuanzebe have reportedly been approached about jumping ship.
      Congolese publication Leopard Leader Football report that Wan-Bissaka’s family have spoken “at length” to DR Congo manager Sebastien Desabre about the full-back making the switch.
      The 25-year-old has made one appearance for DR Congo’s U20s in an 8-0 friendly loss to England’s underage group in 2015.

      He would then switch to the Three Lions after being called up to the U20 and then U21 squad, making 5 appearances in all.
      Meanwhile Tuanzebe, who is also of Congolese descent, was reportedly contacted by Congo officials as well and had “positive” talks.
      Like Wan-Bissaka, Tuanzebe has never player a senior international for either country and is still free to pick.
      The 25-year-old, currently on loan at Stoke City, has also made a handful of appearances at youth level for England.

      Competition for places has rarely been tougher in the English set-up with Wan-Bissaka particularly in a fight at right-back.
      Kyle Walker, Reece James, Kieran Trippier and Trent Alexander-Arnold all appear to be ahead of the Man United man, with the latter also left out of the most recent squad.
      There has also been speculation over Wan-Bissaka’s future at club level with reports earlier this year linking the star with a return to Crystal Palace.
      The defender initially appeared to not be on Erik ten Hag’s radar but he has been seeing much more football since the turn of the year.

      Mitrovic ‘cost himself big money move to MAN UTD as club shelve plans to sign him’ after Old Trafford red card shame

      by

      ALEKSANDAR MITROVIC has reportedly cost himself a big-money move to Manchester United.That’s after being charged by the FA for shoving a referee while playing the Red Devils.
      Man Utd have ended interest in Aleksandar Mitrovic after his red card at Old TraffordCredit: Getty
      Mitrovic, 28, lost his head in Fulham’s 3-1 FA Cup defeat to United at Old Trafford earlier this month.
      The Serbian reacted furiously when teammate Willian was sent off for a penalty handball.
      Mitrovic was shown a straight red card for shoving Chris Kavanagh before aggressively shouting in his face.
      And the striker now faces a 10-match ban after being pulled up by FA chiefs.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      However, Mitrovic’s implosion could cost him a whole lot more.
      The Daily Star claims he was being lined up by Man United for a big-money move this summer.
      Erik ten Hag had been left impressed by Mitrovic’s impressive haul of 11 strikes – not to mention last season’s record-breaking 43 goals in the Championship.
      And Mitro was seen as an alternative to loanee Wout Weghorst, who could return to Burnley this summer.

      But Ten Hag and fellow United transfer gurus have now struck Mitrovic off their list after his total lack of discipline on the field.
      It’s reckoned Chelsea, Tottenham and Barcelona were also keeping tabs on the hitman.
      And they too may now look elsewhere as Mitrovic prepares to serve a lengthy ban.
      The 80-cap Serbia international has been at Fulham since 2018 following an initial loan move from Newcastle.
      Mitrovic has 94 goals in 169 games for the Cottagers and has twice been crowned Club Player of the Year. More

      Seven Man Utd stars who have just 12 games to save their club careers including McTominay and Maguire

      However, the Dutchman’s Old Trafford rebuild will continue in the summer and some players will have to make way for incoming stars.
      The 53-year-old gaffer will have to raise funds to make signings, especially if the Red Devils miss out on Champions League qualification.
      That is why some players, who have failed to impress Ten Hag, will be sold in the summer transfer window – unless they manage to change his mind in the next 12 Premier League games.
      SunSport take a look at the SEVEN players who could be on their way…
      Read More on Man Utd
      ANTHONY MARTIAL
      FRENCH striker enjoyed a little revival under Ten Hag, but nothing close to Marcus Rashford’s success.
      A raft of injuries have halted Martial’s resurgence and Ten Hag appears to be prioritising a striker to replace Cristiano Ronaldo in the summer.
      The France international’s contract also runs out in 2024, and United may want to cash in on him at the end of the season.

      Newcastle manager Eddie Howe is a big admirer of McTominay, who would command a lucrative fee and appears keen to move to Tyneside in the summer as he would get more opportunities.
      WOUT WEGHORST
      THE Dutch striker joined United on loan from Burnley in January to fill in for Ronaldo but has so far failed to even come close to eclipsing the club legend.
      Weghorst is not the man to spearhead United’s attack and should be on his way back to Vincent Kompany’s Clarets once his deal runs out in June.

      AARON WAN-BISSAKA
      TEN HAG doesn’t consider Wan-Bissaka as his starting right-back and prefers Diogo Dalot.
      Wan-Bissaka’s contract runs out next year and United might opt to cash in amid intense interest from his former club Crystal Palace.

      DAVID DE GEA
      THE Spanish keeper still inspires tremendous confidence between Manchester United’s sticks.
      But De Gea’s lucrative contract runs out in June and United will only extend his 12-year stay at Old Trafford if he agrees to a lower salary amid an upcoming wage restructure.
      That is a deal the Spain international is keen to take, but the Red Devils are keeping tabs on other goalkeepers as well.

      HARRY MAGUIRE
      STILL Manchester United’s club captain but Maguire has fallen down the pecking order behind Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez.
      And Ten Hag has often preferred to start left-back Luke Shaw at centre-back even when Maguire was fit.
      The England international is running out of time and appears set for the exit door amid interest from Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan.
