      Gary Neville fears Glazers will STAY at Man Utd as he reveals theory behind mystery third party in bidding process

      by

      GARY NEVILLE fears that the Glazer family will stay at Man United and use Elliot Management to “stay in control”.The former defender believes that the US hedge fund’s progression to the next round in the bidding process is a ploy by the current owners.

      Neville reckons that the Glazers will either use Elliot to remain in charge of the Red Devils or force the other bidders to up their offers for the club.
      Elliot are willing to provide funding up to £2billion to be used on redeveloping Old Trafford.
      It was reported by Sky Sports that representatives from the hedge fund were at Old Trafford to watch United beat Real Betis in the Europa League.
      The other two major bidders for the club are British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Qatari Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani.

      The potential new owners will have to look over presentations from United officials which will analyze the club’s operations, transfer strategy, and scouting network.
      However, Elliot’s stay in the process is causing concern over the willingness to part with the club from the Glazers.
      Neville shared his theory as to what is happening on social media.
      In a quote tweet to Sky Sports reporter Kaveh Solhekol, Neville wrote: “Nope!

      “This looks like it’s a Joel and Avi Glazer play to either ‘stay in control’ or ‘force the other bidders up.’
      “Go on their website. They aren’t an owner of Manchester United!”
      Sheikh Jassim is offering a full buyout of the club while Ratcliffe is only offering to take over a majority of the shares.
      Neither offer has matched the Glazers £6bn asking price.
      Speaking on his Sky Sports podcast, Neville added: “I think what scares Man Utd fans most is the feeling this Man Utd ownership are running this process to drive a massive price up.
      “To try to somehow establish a level which means two of them can stay in and the rest of the family that want out can be bought out by an American fund who wouldn’t mind owning a minority or significant share but not the entirety of the share.
      “That’s the biggest concern. The whole emphasis at this moment in time from Man Utd fans is this has to be the end of the Glazer ownership.
      “They’ve run out of money, they’ve not invested in the stadium… the fans want a new stadium, whether that’s Old Trafford refurbished or a new one rebuilt, we need new facilities.
      “Man Utd’s stadium is behind a lot of the big [clubs] in Europe.

      “I still think there is a focus that this isn’t one big charade that the Glazers are running to try to establish a value which would be for their brothers and sisters to exit and the couple that wants to stay in to stay.
      “There’s a priority at this moment in time for them to go.” More

      They were reportedly set to bid for Dumfries last summer when they faced competition from Chelsea.
      And now they have been linked with a move for the defender when the transfer window re-opens by Gazzetta dello Sport.
      The report claims a swap deal could even take place with Inter apparently interested in Diogo Dalot.
      Dalot is an important player for Erik ten Hag and he has made 31 appearances this season.

      SunSport understands United have opened talks with the Portuguese over a new long-term deal.
      United are also wary of interest from Real Madrid and Barcelona, who are admirers of Dalot and are ready to pounce should an agreement on a new deal fall flat.
      The club is not believed to be prioritsing a right-back this summer but will make an exception for Dumfries.
      And they even held discussions with Inter in January over a potential £35million transfer.

      Man United, Chelsea and Tottenham are all considering moves for the 27-year-old.

      However, Frank is still insistent that any interested clubs will have to pay top price for him.
      When asked if Raya will stay at the club, Frank said: “I think we need to get into the Champions League and then he would consider it.

      “I love David as a keeper. I really believe he is one of the best in the Premier League.
      If someone wants to come and buy him, he is very expensive. He will be, for me, at least £40m-plus. No doubt about that.

      Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag springs to defence of misfiring striker Weghorst ahead of Southampton clash

      by

      WOUT WEGHORST gets dismissed as a carthorse in some quarters — but Erik ten Hag still believes he has a thoroughbred.The 6ft 6in loan ace was deemed not to have the quality to play for Manchester United by Paul Scholes after the 7-0 defeat at Liverpool.

      Fans piled in after the striker was snapped touching the ‘This is Anfield’ sign in the tunnel.
      He looked set for more woe on Thursday, missing chance after chance against Real Betis — but finally netted United’s fourth in a 4-1 Europa League last-16 first-leg win.
      It was just a second goal in 15 starts as he tries to fill the gap left by Cristiano Ronaldo.
      But United manager Ten Hag said: “He has intelligence.  He is often in the right position then he fails — but he still keeps going.
      READ MORE ON MAN UNITED
      “So he showed great personality and character, not only in this game.
      “He could have got his goal early on but he keeps focused, keeps working, keeps putting himself in the right positions and finally he got his reward.”
      Ten Hag yesterday won the Premier League’s Manager of the Month award, with Marcus Rashford earning a third player gong this season —  as well as United’s Player of the Month for a second time running.
      But all the accolades were for performances before the March 5 Liverpool thrashing.

      Thursday’s Betis victory saw the same Anfield line-up sent out to put things right.
      Captain Bruno Fernandes responded with a man-of-the-match display, including a goal.
      Ten Hag said: “He showed big personality by giving this performance, leading the team, it was brilliant.
      “He scores with his right, with his left, with his head, he is creating with final passes.”
      Fernandes, skipper in Harry Maguire’s absence, will lead the team out tomorrow as they host struggling Southampton — who Ten Hag sees as a threat.
      He said: “At the bottom it’s close, they will do everything they can to collect points.” More

      How Man Utd could look like England next season as Harry Kane leads flurry of potential Three Lions signings

      by

      Man Utd’s line up could look a lot more like England next season
      Harry Kane is a top target, with United confident of a deal.
      And there is little doubt that should Kane join, he will be accompanied in a front three by Marcus Rashford.
      The local hero has yet to pen a new deal but with him already enjoying a record goal tally under Ten Hag, why would he want to be anywhere else?
      On the right, Jadon Sancho will continue to face competition from Alejandro Garnacho and Antony.

      However, the ex-Man City youngster is expected to hold down regular place at Old Trafford for many years to come.
      Sancho’s old Dortmund team-mate Jude Bellingham is the most sought after player in Europe going into this summer’s transfer window.
      Real Madrid and Liverpool are the favourites to land the midfielder but he has been a United target since his Birmingham days.
      Should Liverpool fail to make the top four and Bellingham not fancy a move to Spain, the Red Devils will instantly move to pole position for his signature.

      And partnering Bellingham could be Declan Rice, who has also been a long term United target.
      The signing for Rice would also set up an intriguing battle for a place with enforcer Casemiro, who has more than lived up to his £70m price tag to become one of the team’s most impressive performers.
      However, the Red Devils will face stiff competition from London sides Arsenal and Chelsea for Rice’s signature.
      But they could get one over Chelsea by purchasing Mason Mount in a cut price deal, with his contract to expire in 2024.
      The attacking midfielder has yet to agree a new deal with the Blues and both his performances and relationship with the West London club’s hierarchy appear to be deteriorating.
      It is thought that the West Londoners would be prepared to sell for a fee of around £50m.
      Signing Mason Mount would also ramp up the pressure on Bruno Fernandes.
      The vice-captain infuriated United fans with his display at Anfield, as he was even accused of asking to be substituted.
      Aaron Wan-Bissaka has yet to impress Gareth Southgate sufficiently on the ball to earn an England cap.
      However, things are different at Old Trafford where his attitude has impressed the manager and he has muscled his way into first team contention.
      Captain Harry Maguire is also in and out of the team, and a potential candidate to leave United in the summer.
      However, he claims Erik ten Hag has told him he is a top centre-back and he may yet decide to stay and fight for his place.
      Luke Shaw has shown himself to be capable of filling it at left-centre-back when called upon, and is set to continue starting there or at left-back for the foreseeable future.
      Man Utd have used among the lowest number of English players in the Premier League this season, but that could be about to change
      Should Shaw make a more permanent switch to centre-back, United would need to decide whether or not to sign competition for Tyrell Malacia at left-back.
      Chelsea’s Ben Chilwell is far from a top Man Utd target, but he is a lifelong fan of the club.
      In goal, David de Gea is closing in on a new deal but is looking less and less a long-term option.
      That is reflected in Man Utd preparing to offer the Spaniard a reduced and incentive-based contract.
      The Sun has revealed that the 32-year-old will only be able to pick up the maximum £250,000-salary he is being offered if he plays in over 50 per cent of matches.
      England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford is in no hurry to leave Everton as he has just agreed a new £150,000-a-week deal.
      However, the Toffees are 18th in the table having played a game more than the competition.
      Read More on The Sun
      With Pickford’s impending new contract containing no relegation clause, it is difficult to see the Three Lions stopper playing in the Championship.
      And though Chelsea are said to be the club most keen on Pickford, with their need for a new goalkeeper greater than Man Utd’s, the Red Devils will have to purchase a new man between the sticks in the relatively near future.
