      The 23-year-old has just over a year left on his contract with his current deal set to expire in the summer of 2024 after the club triggered a year extension recently.
      The right back has been in excellent form this season and has established himself in the Portugal setup, starting three out of their five games at the World Cup.
      United legend Cristiano Ronaldo was very impressed with the right back’s professionalism.
      He said: “He’s one of the most professional youngsters I’ve ever met.”

      Spanish outlet AS have reported that the Red Devils have been trying for months to get Dalot tied down to a new deal and don’t want to head into the summer with the player having 12 months left on his contract.
      This has alerted Real Madrid who are in the market for a right back as they look for a long term successor to Dani Carvajal.
      The report added that the Spanish champions could look to seek a reduced fee or sign the Portuguese on a free transfer like they did with David Alaba and Antonio Rudiger.
      Dalot has made 60 appearances for Manchester United and has yet to find the back of the net.

      He spent the 2020/2021 season on loan at AC Milan where he scored once in 21 appearances. More

      Sir Alex Ferguson hit me on the head with a cricket bat when I told him I was moving house, says ex-Man Utd ace

      by

      SIR ALEX FERGUSON once hit one of his former Manchester United defenders with a CRICKET BAT.The legendary Scotsman, 81, retired in 2013 after 26 years in charge at Old Trafford.

      During that period he guided the club to 13 Premier League titles, five FA Cups, and two Champions League triumphs.
      Fergie managed a host of star names in that period as well as many talented players he helped nurture through from the academy.
      One of those was former England international defender Wes Brown, who spent 19 years with United from child to man.
      The now 43-year-old, who went on to play for Sunderland, Blackburn and Kerala Blasters, looked up to the fiery Ferguson as a mentor.

      However, he has now revealed one terrifying incident that occurred after he informed his old boss that he was looking to move house.
      When asked on the Football Social Daily podcast if Ferguson really did hit him with a cricket bat, Brown replied: “Correct.”
      “Yeah he used to have this little cricket bat, I don’t know if it was signed by an Australian or New Zealand player.
      “He told me I had to move and I told him where I was going to move to. Then he hit me with a cricket bat.”

      However, Brown was quick to play down the ferocity, saying: “It’s a little one, just a little whack over the head. Saying that, he still whacks me now when I see him.”
      Brown added: “He told me I had to move from Longsight.
      “And then I told him I was looking for places in the city centre, which provoked the whack.”
      Brown also revealed how a fight on a bus led to his biggest telling off from Fergie and a pay rise.
      He said: “I turned pro at 17 and started playing at 18, and in that time I still hadn’t signed another contract, so I was probably on about £250 a week. And then I had a fight on a bus going home because I got the bus everywhere, the 192 into Piccadilly.
      “Something happened on the bus and my manager (Ferguson) found out and he said to me ‘what the f*** are you doing on the bus?’
      Wes Brown revealed all about what it was like playing for FergieCredit: PA
      “I said, ‘I’ve always got the bus, boss’ and he’s shouting at me for getting a bus and telling me to get a taxi.”
      He added: “I explained to him that I couldn’t afford a taxi because that would be £14 a day, £7 from my house to Salford.
      “Still living with my mum and I need to give her some money and buying snide Ralph Laurens to go out.
      “He stopped shouting at me after that. And he was like ‘yeah, well we’ll sort that out’. And that’s pretty much how that went. So the actual incident got forgotten about so I was happy about that.”

      Brown had a glittering career at Old Trafford winning an array of titles including five Premier Leagues and three FA Cups.
      He is also part of a small group of United players who have won the Champions League twice having lifted the famous trophy in 1999 and 2008. More

      How Man Utd’s Old Trafford could be redeveloped after £5bn Qatari takeover and look like spaceship of the future

      The Glazers are hoping for a full sale of United for around £6billion.
      But Uefa were today urged to block any offer from the Middle Eastern country due to concerns over Qatar’s ties to Paris Saint-Germain.
      However, it’s reckoned European football’s governing body will not KO a bid from Qatar.
      And a previous report had claimed that Old Trafford could be DEMOLISHED and rebuilt if the Qatar group completes their United takeover.
      READ MORE ON MAN UTD
      United have already appointed a team of leading consultants to create a “masterplan” for the redevelopment of the Theatre of Dreams.
      They are believed to have consulted with the architects of Tottenham’s state-of-the-art 63,000-seater stadium.
      Now YouTuber Bondibot has created three potential designs – but supporters are not that impressed.
      The first shows Old Trafford with an expanded capacity to 74,310 and the Sir Bobby Charlton Stand getting a complete redesign.

      The next one featured a 360-degree facade like the Allianz Arena in Germany with a new roof and expanded Sir Alex Ferguson stand.
      And, should the Qataris buy the club, another was drafted up to show a new training ground sitting where Old Trafford currently is with a new mega stadium nearby.
      But the fan reaction to the images on Twitter were not great, with one describing it as “a metal bedpan?”
      Others believed it looked like a “spaceship from the future” while fellow Twitter users described it as a “giant toilet seat”. More

      Man Utd told to fork out £18m transfer fee for Marcel Sabitzer if they want to land Bayern Munich star in summer

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED have been told by Bayern Munich how much it would cost to sign Marcel Sabitzer on a permanent basis according to reports.

      The Austrian midfielder was thrown into action quicker than he may have envisaged after Casemiro picked up a three-match ban for his red card against Crystal Palace.
      He made his debut from the bench in that same game and was handed his first start against Leeds and impressed in Erik Ten Hag’s midfield.
      German outlet Sport Bild have reported that the German champions are asking for a fee of £18million for the Austrian international but would be open to negotiating in the summer.
      The German outfit will be keen to make a profit on a player who has featured for them 54 times.

      The report added that Bayern feel £18million is a fair price for a player they paid £14million for in 2021 from Bundesliga rivals RB Leipizig.
      Sabitzer himself has admitted that he would be open to making his stay in Manchester permanent.
      He said: ” It’s a loan at the moment, that’s all I can say. I like it here. I’m feeling very good here.
      “I like the team, I like the club, the atmosphere in Old Trafford. We will see what happens in the summer.”

      Thousands of United fans made the trip to Spain to see them take on one of the Catalan giants.
      However, one got a little bit too cocky after the result as they made their way over to the flexi glass that separated the away end from the home spectators.
      The man began slapping the glass as Barca fans exited just inches away from him, and then he began singing: “You’ve seen United, now f*** off home.”
      Several ignored him, although one did punch the other side of the glass, but the United follower remained undeterred.

      And soon enough one Barcelona supporter decided that they had had enough of it as he quickly darted over to the glass and snatched the hat off the head of the annoying visitor.
      Other Barca spectators began laughing, but United fans soon joined in and jeered before the hapless individual grabbed his own shirt and pulled it over his head.
      But the humiliated man remained undeterred.
      He soon restarted his chants – but unfortunately for him others were on hand to capture the whole moment on camera phone.
