      And now Man Utd are considering a move for the defensive midfielder to bolster the team’s spine.
      However, they have next to no chance of signing him, according to TEAMTALK.
      They report that while the interest from the Red Devils is genuine, both Leeds and Adams remain committed to each other.
      Adams signed for Leeds last summer in a £17million move from RB Leipzig, with the potential to rise to £20m.

      The deal he signed has him contracted to Elland Road until 2027, and it’s claimed he is more than happy with his current circumstances.
      Ahead of the last 16 clash against Louis van Gaal’s Holland, Adams had a number of impressive stats in his favour for the USA.
      He had won the most duels, made the most tackles, made the most passes into the final third and won possession the most times in the defensive third.
      Leeds have also been reaping the rewards from his strong form at club level.

      Adams is second only to Fulham’s Joao Palhinha for tackles made, with his ability to win the ball back in the defensive third a particular key note.
      United want another midfielder to help out when Casemiro is rested, and Adams fits the description of a player who breaks up play in a similar fashion. More

      Glazers ‘want full sale of Man Utd by end of MARCH’ – but £7billion price tag is seen as ‘unrealistic’

      by

      THE GLAZERS are reportedly planning to complete a sale of Manchester United by the end of March.Joel and Avram Glazer decided to place the club on the market at the end of last month due to pressure from their four siblings who’ve wanted to cash in since 2012.

      The brothers considered buying their siblings out and consulted private equity firm Apollo about the idea.
      Investment banking group The Raine Group are now acting as financial advisors to the family and have valued the club between £6- £7billion.
      But financial experts feel that asking price may be a little high given the price of club shares, report The Athletic.
      United’s stock price has risen from £10.61 to £16.28 per share since the sale was announced, but it is felt that price should have increased more sharply to reflect the £7bn demand.

      In fact, shares have decreased from a high of £18.50 last week.
      It is believed only nation-states would be able, or willing, to pay upwards of £7bn.
      While Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund may be interested, Qatar’s Supreme Committee reportedly believe Premier League clubs are now valued too high.
      And investors from Dubai are now more interested in tourism, with ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum a Liverpool fan.

      That opens the door to other bidders – and there is no shortage of interest despite the hefty price tag, with Raine keen to avoid timewasters.
      Sir Jim Ratcliffe approached the Glazers in the summer about buying the club and is expected to enter the running, though will likely need help from other investors.
      Indian businessman Mukesh Ambani, worth a reported £73bn, has also been tipped as a possible interested party.
      There is also reported interest from Facebook and Amazon, though a spokesperson from the later refused to comment on the rumour.
      Apple and clothing giant Zara have also moved to deny they were considering a bid.
      There could also be offers from the various American parties that tried to buy Chelsea earlier this year.
      Sir Martin Broughton organised a consortium to purchase the Blues, as did Atalanta owner Stephen Pagliuca – both are being linked to United.
      However, Raine are yet to hold serious talks with any interested party. More

      Speaking to Gazzetta dello Sport, Scaroni said: “I’m told that Rafa is really happy in Milano and with AC Milan.
      “Paolo Maldini’s taking care of the new deal negotiation so I’m confident and relaxed about it.”
      Leao was in action during the Qatar World Cup for Portugal before they were knocked out by semi-finalists Morocco.
      The attacker netted two goals off the bench. One during their opening 3-2 victory over Ghana and the other in the 6-1 thrashing of Switzerland.

      Leao has just over 18 months left on his current Milan contract, meaning a transfer move for him is likely to occur in the next two windows if Milan do not want to let him go for nothing.
      Man Utd and Chelsea have been two of the leading parties in the pursuit of the 23-year-old.
      Erik ten Hag’s side are eyeing him as an alternative to Dutch ace Cody Gakpo, who has seen his asking price double since the summer, as they seek a replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo.
      Meanwhile, Leao’s father gave a cryptic answer when previously asked about a transfer to Chelsea.

      HOW TO GET FREE BETS ON THE WORLD CUP
      He said: “The answer is: we are working on it. We are dealing with it because Rafael Leao has a contract that ends in 2024. Until that date, we are dealing with all of that (transfer, contract and Sporting legal dispute).
      “Without Chelsea, without Barcelona, without Real Madrid, we are dealing with that.
      “Rafael loves being in Italy. He has an affection for the Italians that the Portuguese don’t have for him.
      “He won the trophy for best player in Serie A not because he’s handsome, but because he’s the best.”
      However, Scaroni’s latest comments will not bode well for either club’s hopes of signing him. More

      “He can play the ball over various distances, he has pinpoint accuracy. He beats any type of press, is comfortable on either foot and is as comfortable with the ball at his feet as he is running out with it defensively.
      “Also, the aggressiveness. He is willing to get forward, that youth, that fearlessness. He has quick enough feet for someone of his size. Everything about him for me has been so positive.” More
