      And the Manchester Evening News report high on the wishlist for the upcoming transfer window are Harry Kane and Victor Osimhen.
      The Red Devils will prioritise a striker following the departures of Edinson Cavani and Cristiano Ronaldo, while Wout Weghorst is only on loan.
      Kane, 29, is a long-term target and has proved himself as one of the Premier League’s greatest ever No9s, notching up 201 goals.
      Napoli’s 24-year-old Osimhen, meanwhile, has been tearing it up for the Serie A leaders.

      Portugal and Benfica forward Goncalo Ramos, 21, is another potential target.
      Elsewhere, Ten Hag wants to bring in Mohammad Kudus, 22, from former club Ajax.
      And in midfield, Jude Bellingham, 19, is a key target while they could even reignite their pursuit of 25-year-old Frenkie de Jong.
      Plus a centre-back might be needed should captain Harry Maguire be sold.

      However, in order to fund the major splurge and make space in the squad, United know they need to get rid of a few players.
      Alex Telles and Anthony Martial look on course to follow Maguire through the Old Trafford exit door.
      United could be under new ownership by the time the transfer market reopens following bids by Sheikh Jassim Bin Hamad Al Thani and Sir Jim Ratcliffe to buy the Red Devils.
      And the club could also be the holders of FOUR major trophies.
      United beat Newcastle to win the Carabao Cup on Sunday and are still in the FA Cup and Europa League plus retain an outside chance of pipping Arsenal and Manchester City in the Premier League title race.

      Man Utd share prices COLLAPSE because ‘there is a feeling the Glazers will NOT sell and club’s only worth £1.3billion’

      by

      A “FEELING that the Glazer family will NOT sell Manchester United” has reportedly led to the club’s share price plummeting by almost ten per cent.The Red Devils are only worth around £1.3BILLION according to new analysis – significantly less than the Glazers’ rumoured asking price.

      The Glazer family have been exploring a sale since the end of last year, but are yet to receive the £6bn they want.
      Qatar’s Sheikh Jassim wants to buy the club either in its entirety now, or not at all.
      He, as well as boyhood Man United fan Sir Jim Ratcliffe, are both set to have initial bids rejected by the Glazers.
      Bidders are currently waiting to hear back from The Raine Group, the bank overseeing the possible sale.
      READ MORE ON MAN UTD
      The market value of United, who won the Carabao Cup at Wembley on Sunday in front of Avram Glazer, was thought to be at around £3.75bn. Sheikh Jassim and Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s bids were believed to be in this region.
      However fresh reports in the Financial Times have had a big impact on their shareholders and the price of stock.

      Sky Sports journalist Kaveh Solhekol said: “The share price has fallen by almost 10 per cent and I think the reasons behind that are down to two reports in the Financial Times this weekend.
      “The first one said that Manchester United are not worth the £5bn that the Glazers are looking for if they were to sell Manchester United as, according to the FT, United are worth £1.3bn. Much less than anyone had thought before.

      “There was also another report on Saturday which said that the bidders for Manchester United had so far not offered enough money to tempt the Glazers to sell.
      “If the Glazers were to sell then the two bidders that we know about, Sheikh Jassim from Qatar and Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his INEOS company, would have to increase their bids.
      “This has all led to a sense that the Glazers will not sell Manchester United.”
      Solhekol reiterated: “What’s happened is that the traders, the people who own shares, the value of them shares has gone down today because there is a feeling that the Glazers might not sell.
      “And if they are not going to sell, Man United is not worth £6bn, £7bn and it could be worth closer to what the Financial Times is saying, which is £1.3bn.
      “That is why the share price has gone down today.
      “Forget what has happened on the football pitch, if you’re an investor all that matters is are the Glazers going to sell the club and how much is the club worth, and at the moment, there seems to be a feeling that the Glazers are not going to sell the club.”
      He added: “The Glazers have never come out and said ‘we want to sell Manchester United’. They’ve been very clever about it.

      “In November they said that they were exploring alternative strategies, potentially that could lead to a sale.
      “But you could make the argument that United are playing so well at the moment, winning trophies again, is it really a good time sell? Maybe the clever thing to do is hold on to the club but just sell a small stake and use the money in redeveloping the stadium and training ground.”

      Erik ten Hag’s men beat Newcastle 2-0 at Wembley with goals coming from main men Casemiro and Marcus Rashford.
      Sancho, 22, was a late substitute for Man Utd, replacing Antony in the 83rd minute.
      And the England international will be hoping that the League Cup is one of many to come at Old Trafford.
      Sancho has just returned to action after taking a break from football to work on his physical and mental fitness.

      His comeback has drawn some of football’s biggest stars to his Instagram comments section to congratulate him on winning the domestic cup.
      PSG star Mbappe said: “Good to see you with a smile.”
      Mbappe’s presence in the comments section has Man Utd fans excited.
      Fans were convinced Mbappe would be joining the Old Trafford club earlier this month.

      Mbappe wrote in French the words for “all that remains to be done” as he looked ahead to the second leg of the last-16 tie.
      However, the translation in English bizarrely added the claim that: “Manchester United’s team is now on PSG.”
      And under Sancho’s post, one fan responded to Mbappe, saying: “Come over to United, we will have smiles all round.”
      Mbappe’s best pal and PSG team-mate, Achraf Hakimi, could also be found in the comments section.
      Hakimi played alongside Sancho in Germany at Borussia Dortmund.
      Sancho will be hoping to get some starts under his belt between now and the end of the season.
      Man Utd are still contesting another three competitions: the FA Cup, Europa League and Premier League.
      Up next is West Ham in the FA Cup on Wednesday at Old Trafford. More

      Erik ten Hag hailed as ‘genius’ after Man Utd fans spot tactics sheets on dressing room wall after Carabao Cup final win

      Summer signing Casemiro opened the scoring in the first half, and a deflected Marcus Rashford shot sent Man Utd in at half-time with a two-goal lead.
      Man Utd’s defensive work proved just as important to winning the Carabao Cup – Ten Hag’s first trophy at the club.
      They came up against a Newcastle side who’s success has been heavily built on their size and physicality.
      Dan Burn, Sven Botman and Fabian Schar all possess an attacking threat from set-pieces.

      Across all competitions, Newcastle have scored 12 goals from set-pieces – the eighth highest out of all Premier League teams.
      So Ten Hag came up with a plan – and then plastered it on the changing room wall to ensure his team knew how to stop Newcastle’s set-piece threat.
      It worked, with United successfully dealing with six Newcastle corners and multiple dangerous free-kicks, with set-piece wizard Kieran Trippier standing over the ball.

      Having spotted the tactics sheets on the wall, one fan said of Ten Hag on Twitter: “Newcastle have been one of the most dangerous teams from attacking set-pieces this season.

      “Ten Hag’s preparation for those situations paid off.”
      Another tweeted: “I was nervous for those set pieces and though a couple were a bit hairy I felt we dealt with them well.”
      A third added: “Tactical genius.”
      Ten Hag was delighted to win his first piece of silverware at Old Trafford.
      The Dutchman said: “It is about glory and honour and if you want to prove something and win something you have to do it because no one is bringing something to you in top football.
      “You have to win the first [trophy] and that is what we did today.
      “You can take inspiration from this, but also more confidence.
      “We are still at the start [of the process] to restore Man United to where they belong.
      “We showed the right spirit – we fought and gave everything, as a team.

      Success in the Carabao Cup could provide a platform for a very productive season for United, who are also competing for the title, FA Cup and Europa League.
      But next season they could have another target in mind – the Champions League.
      And to achieve that aim Ten Hag could be given the funds to bring in a top quality striker.
      Wout Weghorst was signed as a temporary solution in January but the Red Devils have since been linked with Harry Kane and Victor Osimhen.
      READ MORE ON MAN UTD
      Both would command significant transfer fees with Napoli striker Osimhen believed to have a £107million release clause.
      But the two strikers would guarantee goals – Kane has 20 in all competitions this season while Osimhen has 21.
      United are also planning to bolster their midfield and could finally land Declan Rice this summer.
      West Ham are still demanding a significant fee for the England star, believed to be around £100m, while Arsenal are also threatening to pip United to the midfielder.

      Dutch pair Denzel Dumfries and Jeremie Frimpong have been linked in the past and United could try again for the pair this summer. More

      ‘Winning mentality’ – Fans love it as Casemiro and Bruno argue AFTER Man Utd win Carabao Cup before McTominay intervenes

      It is the latest sign that the Dutch boss is dragging the club back onto the road to success.
      And fans were pleased to see this “winning mentality” has appeared to translate to the players based on what they saw at full-time.
      Only minutes after the whistle was blown to confirm United’s win, Casemiro and Fernandes could be seen having a robust exchange.
      The former Real Madrid man, who won five Champions League medals while in Spain, pulled his teammates’ shirt to get his attention before gesturing towards the pitch.

      Fernandes appears to be defending himself during the brief chat before a grinning Scott McTominay comes across and defuses the situation.
      The Scotsman ruffles Fernandes’ hair before Antony joins and hugs the Portuguese international.
      It is not clear what what was up for debate but it may have potentially been Fernandes’ missed chance in stoppage time.
      The 28-year-old chose to try and score an incredible solo goal rather than play in McTominay or Jadon Sancho, who were in better shooting positions.
