      Man Utd offered Yannick Carrasco as Ten Hag admits he could be forced into late transfer business by Eriksen injury

      by

      ERIK TEN HAG could be set for a late deadline day dip into the transfer market with Christian Eriksen out injured until at least the end of April.The Danish midfielder limped out of Saturday evening’s 3-0 FA Cup win over Reading with an ankle injury after a clumsy challenge by Andy Carroll.

      Now Manchester United have confirmed it is a long term problem which could even keep him out of action into the final month of the season.
      And the club have reportedly been offered Atletico Madrid and Belgium star Yannick Carrasco.
      Ten Hag said of Eriksen: “Of course, he’s disappointed, we are disappointed, but it happens in top football.
      “On deadline day it’s difficult you can’t have a policy based on such bad injuries.”

      Ten Hag admits while he has Fred in reserve he is not a like for like replacement for the creative talents of Eriksen.
      He said: “I think you can never fill that gap because every player has his own characteristics, identity, another player will always fill in in a different way but it doesn’t mean you have to be less successful.
      “It’s quite clear Christian Eriksen brings top quality to our squad and he has some specifics that are hard to replace, such as his impacts in the final third with his final ball.”
      With Scott McTominay also out injured it does leave United short in midfield with only Casemiro and Fred as recognised players in that role as two in front of the back four.

      Ten Hag remains confident of what Fred can bring.
      He said: “Fred’s playing together with Casemiro in the Brazil squad, that’s not the worse squad in there world.
      “They have so many choices they can make but they play together and that tells you something about the quality Fred has and what he can contribute to the team.
      “You saw against Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City.

      “When he came on in the last game he scores a goal, he has a lot of qualities and they’re a good combination, Casemiro and Fred.”
      Meanwhile, the Telegraph report that United have been offered the chance to nab Carrasco.
      The 29-year-old’s representatives are believed to have been in contract with Old Trafford chiefs over a late move.
      While he is a different player to Eriksen, injury to the Dane has left Man United exploring different options to boost the squad. More

      Manchester United reject Arsenal’s reported world-record transfer bid for Alessia Russo

      by

      ARSENAL have reportedly had an audacious January transfer bid for Red Devils forward Alessia Russo knocked back. The Manchester United ace, 23, is thought be the target of a world record bid exceeding the fee Barcelona paid to Man City for Keira Walsh, according to The Athletic.

      It is reported the Gunners’ bid, which has been turned down, exceeded the world-record fee Barcelona paid for Keira WalshCredit: Getty
      Russo’s current contract with the WSL leaders is set to come to an end this summer. 
      Her team have lost just one of the 11 top-flight games they have played so far this season.
      Reports claim Man United’s contract talks with the player have yet to lead to a new one for Russo with the club.  
      It is thought Arsenal, who are currently third in the league, are keen to try and seal a deal for Russo before the 5pm cut-off point for WSL transfers on Tuesday.

      However Sky Sports reports the Red Devils have rebuffed the offer made by their title rivals.
      It is also thought the forward has been attracting interest from clubs in the United States. 
      Russo, who helped England to win last summer’s Women’s Euros, has emerged as one of Europe’s most talented forwards following her performances for club and country. 
      The Kent-born WSL star netted four goals for the Lionesses before their defeat of Germany in the Euros final at Wembley last July. 
      Most read in Football
      And this season the forward, who began her senior playing career at Chelsea in 2016, has scored five goals in nine top-flight appearances 
      This includes a stoppage time winner during her team’s 3-2 defeat of the Gunners at the Emirates.
      The victory saw Marc Skinner’s side becoming the first team to beat their rivals at the stadium in the league. 
      Arsenal’s move for Russo comes in a month which has seen them strengthen their attacking ranks following Beth Mead’s and Vivianne Miedema’s ACL injuries towards the end of last year. 
      The North London giants, who play West Ham in the WSL on Sunday, signed Netherlands midfielder Victoria Pelova from Ajax and Denmark starlet Kathrine Kuhl. 
      The duo were both on target in their team’s 9-0 demolition of Leeds Ladies in the FA Cup.
      The team will face last year’s contest winners Chelsea in a fifth round duel on Saturday 25 February. 
      Jonas Eidevall’s side, who are yet to win a trophy under their boss, are chasing their first WSL title win since the 2018-19 season.  
      On Saturday the Gunners were reported to have rejected a Blues bid for the services of their winger Katie McCabe.

      The club are thought to have tabled a substantial offer for the Republic of Ireland international, 27, according to Sky Sports News and Telegraph Sport. 
      The player, who has made 10 appearances for Arsenal this season, is reported to have 18 months left on her current contract with the club.

      Here is how Inter could line-up with Harry Maguire in the team
      United’s captain reportedly wants to remain at the club and make a decision on his long-term future in the summer.
      But if does leave, he could link-up with plenty of Red Devils alumni at the San Siro.
      As Inter look set to allow Milan Skriniar to join Paris-Saint Germain, another centre-back they are keen on is Chris Smalling.
      The 33-year-old is already at home in Italy with Roma, but his deal in the capital runs out at the end of this season and has handed in a transfer request in the capital.

      The ex-England star – who made 323 appearances for Man Utd – could soon join Maguire at Inter.
      His team-mate Victor Lindelof has also been monitored by the club but their advances for him have been rejected.
      Inter manager Simone Inzaghi likes to use a 3-5-2 with wing-backs and ex-United ace Matteo Darmian features regularly.
      The defender has played 21 times for Inter this season.

      He played 63 times for the club, scoring 13 goals between 2016 and 2018.
      Topping off the team is Romelu Lukaku, who is at Inter on loan from Chelsea.
      The Belgian played at Old Trafford for two seasons under Jose Mourinho.
      The rest of the team could be filled with the likes of Lautaro Martinez, Denzel Dumfries and Nicolo Barella.
      The Nerazzurri currently sit second in the league, 13 points behind leaders Napoli.
      And the club will face Porto in the last 16 of the Champions League.

      The Serie A side have made an inquiry about the 29-year-old’s availability and it is believed a loan deal has been proposed.
      However, the player would like to wait until the summer to decide on his long-term future.

      The Daily Mail claim that Maguire is prepared to be patient for his chances in case injuries and suspensions become problems for manager Erik ten Hag.
      Maguire recently stressed he did not want to become a bit-part player at Man Utd.

      Speaking after his start in the FA Cup win over Reading, he said: “I’m 29 and haven’t really been in this position in my career before.
      “I don’t want to get used to it but it is part and parcel of football. I’m pushing, training well, and when chances come, I need to take it.
      “It was two-and-a-half weeks since my last start but I’ve felt I have looked after myself.
      “I’ve been working hard in training. The lads who have been playing have been doing well. I have to be ready when my chance comes.

      “We’re all going to be needed for the second half of the season.”
      Maguire has been in the starting XI for just 20 per cent of Premier League matches this season.
      Overall, he has played 16 times under Ten Hag with Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane the first choice centre-back pairing.
      Inter are in the market for a new central defender as Milan Skriniar is reportedly close to joining Paris Saint-Germain.
      Simone Inzaghi’s team have also gone in for Maguire’s team-mate Victor Lindelof this January as a potential replacement.
      The approach was rejected by Man Utd, who are looking to keep hold of their key players with a busy fixture schedule ahead.
      The Red Devils are still going strong in all competitions this term and face many midweek games with the Europa League restarting soon, with a tough trip to Barcelona coming up.
