      Premier League outfit Tottenham are keen on the Europa Conference League final match winner, but would like an initial loan move.
      However, Roma would like £35million or a loan with an obligation to buy.
      Now, according to AreaNapoli.it, Zaniolo has been offered to another one of England’s “Big Six” in Man Utd.
      United are keen on bolstering Erik ten Hag’s squad in January but want to keep spending low.

      Wout Weghorst joined on loan from Burnley – providing a short-term solution following Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure.
      Paris Saint-Germain have also had the player proposed to them.
      However, Zaniolo’s agent has been spotted in London, which could hint that the midfielder is leaning towards a move to England.
      Zaniolo has had a rather poor campaign under Jose Mourinho in the Italian capital.

      He has only managed to score two goals in 17 games, with just the one coming in the Serie A.
      Despite this, Mourinho believes the player is likely to stay put.
      He said on Zaniolo’s situation: “Nicolo Zaniolo has asked to leave the club — but it’s not sure that it’s gonna happen.
      “Current proposals are not enough. We only need a good proposal to let Zaniolo leave, and we’ve not received it.
      “My feeling is that in the end, he will stay.”

      ‘The perfect solution’ – Man Utd legend Teddy Sheringham urges club to go all out for Harry Kane transfer from Tottenham

      by

      TEDDY SHERINGHAM reckons Harry Kane would be the “perfect solution” for Manchester United.Kane has emerged as a summer target for the Red Devils, who signed Wout Weghorst on loan this month as a stop-gap after Cristiano Ronaldo’s acrimonious exit.

      England captain Kane is into the last 18 months of his Tottenham contract.
      Though the 29-year-old is open to starting talks over a new deal with the North Londoners next month.
      Sheringham left Spurs for United in 1997 aged 31 and went on to win a stack of trophies, including the Premier League three times on the bounce and the historic treble in ’99.
      The former England striker, 56, told talkSPORT: “Harry Kane would be an unbelievable acquisition for Manchester United. I think he would be the perfect solution.

      “He’s got to make that decision. I made a big decision when I decided to leave Tottenham because I didn’t like the ambition at the time. Harry has to assess that situation himself.”
      Kane has always had a dream of winning trophies with Tottenham but is yet to achieve it, despite scoring 265 goals for the club.
      That figure is two shy of breaking Jimmy Greaves’ record and if Kane does sign a new deal with Spurs, he will surely go on to smash it by some distance.
      Kane is understood not to be in any rush to pen fresh terms.

      But the fact that he is open to recommencing negotiations, having not had talks since August 2021 and given the uncertainty of boss Antonio Conte’s future, will come as a huge boost to the Spurs.
      Yet Sheringham now feels United under Erik ten Hag are in a better position to win silverware than Tottenham.
      It is some turnaround given Spurs finished fourth last season, 13 points ahead of United, who are now in that position this season, six ahead of Conte’s side.
      Sheringham observed: “I thought a year ago they were on an even keel.

      “I would say out of the two at the moment, Manchester United look like they are more likely to win a trophy than Tottenham are.”
      Spurs have been on a poor run in their last ten games, losing against Manchester United, Newcastle, Liverpool, Aston Villa, Arsenal and Manchester City.
      Sheringham, who played 277 times for Spurs in two spells at the club, added: “I know that Harry Kane was very happy this time last year with Conte, was delighted that he had come in and had brought that winning mentality to the football club.
      “But things change very quickly in football and it doesn’t seem like it’s working out with Conte at Tottenham.

      “[Kane] decided all the way along to stick with Tottenham and stay there and hope things will change around and there would be a winning mentality to match his ambition while he’s at the club.
      “If he doesn’t think that’s going to happen, then it’s a short football career and maybe he might have to move.” More

      And he was hauled off around the 70-minute mark for the second time in five days.
      Antony contributed just one attempt on goal and one key pass as he struggled to make a difference going forward.

      In fact, he had only one more touch than goalkeeper David de Gea.
      Now Ferdinand has accused the winger of looking a completely different player from his time at Ajax.

      He told FIVE: “He just doesn’t beat anyone and I’m sitting there thinking, ‘Was that always the way?’
      “I’ve seen clips of him when he was at Ajax and he was somebody who used to beat people.
      “I saw Thomas Partey, who I wouldn’t put down as a sprinter, absolutely burst past him, and I’m thinking, ‘Woah, he hasn’t got much power in them legs!’
      “He’s a tricky winger, but with tricky wingers you want them to still be able to beat the defender.”

      Antony enjoyed a memorable start to his United career by scoring on his debut against Arsenal.
      He would go on to find the net in his next two Premier League outings against rivals Manchester City and Everton.
      But the 22-year-old hasn’t found the net in the league since the win at Goodison Park and hasn’t made the impact that some would have hoped.
      Antony did net in the recent cup games with Everton and Charlton though.
      But he was slammed and hauled off at half-time earlier in the season for showboating against Sheriff and has regularly been criticised for his form.
      Gary Neville has also admitted that he wants to see more from the Brazil international.
      He told the Gary Neville Podcast, Neville said: “I wish they had better quality in the final third.
      “Obviously Sancho’s not out there and you would expect that Manchester United would have better options from the bench, but they haven’t at this moment in time.
      “I want to see a little bit more from Antony, to be honest with you.

      “A £90million signing. I think that to have to take him off is a disappointment.
      “You’d like to think that Rashford and Antony could have counter-attacked for United.” More

      United looked to have done enough to earn a point after goals from Marcus Rashford and Lisandro Martinez saw the game level heading into added-time.
      But Nketiah continued his fine goalscoring run by turning home Martin Odegaard’s shot.
      The goal ended United’s 10-match unbeaten run in all competitions and further damaged their already faint title hopes.

      Sky Sports mocked over shocking Wout Weghorst body double as Man Utd ace Photoshopped for team line-up graphic

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED and their fans were reportedly left in stitches at an error from Sky Sports concerning their new signing Wout Weghorst.The Dutch striker joined the Red Devils on loan from Burnley earlier this month.
      Sky Sports amusingly used this shocking Photoshop for Wout WeghorstCredit: Sky Sports
      Eagle-eyed fans were quick to spot it before the last two matches the striker playedCredit: Getty
      The 30-year-old made his debut during last Wednesday’s 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace.
      And he led the line for them on Sunday as they suffered a crushing 3-2 defeat to rivals Arsenal at the Emirates.
      However, the Daily Mail has claimed United were left in “bemusement” by Sky Sports, who showed both matches live, and their botched effort.
      Prior to the Palace clash, the TV company doctored up a photo of Weghorst in the club’s colours to show on their starting line-up graphic.

      That is despite United reportedly providing them with everything they needed to show a genuine one.
      But instead of using a real one, Sky instead used photo-editing software and super-imposed the striker’s head onto someone else’s body.
      And many eagle-eyed fans believe that the mystery body, visibly a lot smaller than the 6ft 5in forward, was in fact former United ace Juan Mata, who is now at Galatasaray in Turkey.
      They were also seen wearing Nike boots – with Weghorst sponsored by adidas.

      Sky responded to the Mail’s report by saying they needed to capture the imagery themselves.
      And they added there was not enough time for them to do so before the Palace game.
      However, the same image was also used before the clash with Arsenal.
      They also allegedly refused to inform United of the body “double” used as fans quickly spotted their error.
      One tweeted: “That Wout Weghorst graphic on Sky Sports is the most obvious photoshop ever!”
      Another wrote: “They’ve done Weghorst dirty with that photoshop job there Sky.”
      As a fellow fan asked: “Why did sky Photoshop an old picture of Weghorst on a 5’8 body?” More
