    Ismael Bennacer may leave AC Milan this summer, according to reportsCredit: Getty
    But the 24-year-old has just one year left on his contract at the San Siro and he’s yet to sign a new deal.
    And reports in the Algerian press suggest the player is unhappy about losing his place in the Milan starting line-up to Frank Kessie and Sandro Tonali.
    Therefore Old Trafford officials are thought to have spoken to their Milan counterparts about Bennacer.

OFFER Christian Eriksen deal, Barcelona ‘drop De Jong price to £70m’
    But they remain keen on Bellingham and are hoping a price of £78m can prise him away from the Bundesliga side.
    Bellingham has scored ten goals and provided 18 assists in 90 games for the German outfit.
    Dortmund do not want to sell the midfielder this summer because they have just lost Erling Haaland to Manchester City – less than 12 months after selling Jadon Sancho to Manchester United.
    Offloading Bellingham next year would give Madrid time to work on negotiations for the player as they look to add fresh legs to their midfield.

    The Spanish giants won the Champions League this year with an ageing trio of Luka Modric, Toni Kroos and Casemiro.
    And while all three remain formidable players, Madrid are clearly keen to bring through the next generation.
    They already have 19-year-old Eduardo Camavinga in their midst – a player who was key to their Champions League triumph.
    Aurelien Tchouameni has also been signed by the club, with Bellingham potentially the final player in Madrid’s future midfield trio. More

    Paulo Dybala snubs Man Utd and Tottenham to seal Inter Milan free transfer after mum convinced him to stay in Italy

    PAULO DYBALA has reportedly rejected Manchester United and Tottenham to sign for Inter Milan – after his mum persuaded him to stay in Italy.Last month the attacking midfielder, 28, announced he would leave Juventus when his contract expires at the end of June.

    That presented United and Tottenham with the opportunity to sign Dybala, but he has always been heavily tipped with a San Siro switch.
    And now Inter look set to snap up the Argentine thanks to his mother’s influence, report Gazzetta dello Sport.
    Dybala is said to be ready to put pen to paper on a four-year contract worth £5million a year.
    The deal will be completed soon after the player revealed his mother Alicia is “very present in his life and sports choices”.

    United and Tottenham are believed to have pulled out of the running with Spurs unwilling to match his wage demands.
    Dybala was not believed to be keen on a switch to north London either having previously rejected the club in 2019.
    Rivals Arsenal were also interested in Dybala but his desire to play Champions League football ruled the Gunners out of the running.
    United have quickly turned their attention to other targets – making Christian Eriksen a contract offer.

    Man Utd shares plummet to record low as club’s value drops by more than £1.3BILLION ahead of transfer window

    MANCHESTER UNITED’S value has dropped by a startling £1.3BILLION after shares fell to a record low on Monday.At the close on June 13, the Red Devils’ shares were trading at $11.07, compared with $15.66 just 12 months earlier.
    The Glazers have been criticised for their ownership of Manchester United – with the share price falling again on MondayCredit: PA
    And the shares had been as high as $20.74 last September when the team got off to a flying start at the beginning of the season and Cristiano Ronaldo returned to Old Trafford.
    The worrying trend means that United’s share prices have fallen by 21 per cent since the Glazers took over 16 years ago.
    According to the Manchester Evening News, the fall in share price can be put down to economic fears in the market as well as preparations to overhaul the squad and regenerate the stadium.

    The six members of the family are receiving dividends in January and June each year.
    The next instalment will be paid to United’s unpopular owners on June 24.

    BETTING SPECIAL – GET £40 IN FREE BETS FOR ASCOT
    In January, the dividend payment to shareholders amounted to nearly £11m.
    On the pitch, United suffered a competitive and financial blow last season when they failed to qualify for the Champions League.
    Under interim boss Ralf Rangnick, they could only manage sixth place in the Premier League, meaning they will play in the 2022-23 Europa League.
    New head coach Erik ten Hag is hoping to refresh the squad this summer – with a number of players leaving on free transfers including Paul Pogba, Edinson Cavani, Juan Mata, Jesse Lingard and Nemanja Matic.
    In terms of arrivals, they have been linked with moves for Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong and Ajax winger Antony. More

    Man Utd OFFER Christian Eriksen contract, Barcelona ‘DROP Frenkie de Jong asking price to £70m’, Antony transfer update

    MANCHESTER UNITED have reportedly made a formal offer to sign Christian Eriksen on a free transfer.The Dane was among United’s top targets when he was at Spurs and the Red Devils are now keen to snap up the 30-year-old after an excellent half season at Brentford.
    But Eriksen is far from their only midfield target, with Erik ten Hag still keen on signing Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong.
    And United have received good news on that front, with Barca reported to have dropped his asking price to £70m from £85m.
    Ten Hag is also said to be interested in signing Antony from his former club Ajax.
    Man Utd are reported to have made a £38.5m bid for the Brazilian.

    Man United new kit leaked
    Man United’s home kit for the 2022-23 season has been leaked on social media.
    But it has received some mixed reactions from fans.
    Adidas have introduced a white collar with red triangles to the strip and black stripes running across the shoulders.
    There has also been a slight change to the badge, with a frame surrounding it.
    Some United fans have fallen in love with the new design, and have taken to Twitter to share their thoughts.
    One said: “I am definitely getting this.”

    PSG ‘hoped to use Man Utd to get rid of Pochettino’
    Paris Saint-Germain planned to get rid of Mauricio Pochettino as early as last autumn, and were reportedly hoping Man Utd would make it easier for them.
    The Parisians reportedly owe the Argentine and his coaching staff £17m in compensation after announcing his sacking.
    But the Telegraph claims that they were hoping Man Utd would hire him as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s replacement following the dismissal of the Norwegian.
    United instead opted for Ralf Rangnick as interim manager before hiring Erik ten Hag.

    Mourinho and Matic reunited
    Nemanja Matic is officialy an AS Roma player.
    The 33-year-old Serb, who was released by Man Utd, has been snapped up by former Red Devils boss Jose Mourinho for the THIRD time.
    Matic could face his former club in the Europa League next season following Roma’s Conference League triumph and United’s failure to qualify for the Champions League.

    Was Pogba misunderstood?
    French journalist Julien Laurens has leapt to the defence of Paul Pogba, as the £80m flop gets ready to leave Old Trafford.
    Laurens sees the World Cup winner as somebody whose personality was misunderstood.
    He said: “He is someone who is very nice, fundamentally.
    “Even when he has something in his heart he does not say it. Or not enough.”

    Eriksen downs Rangnick
    There may have been a passing of the baton from the old to the new of Man Utd in Copenhagen last night.
    Denmark beat former Red Devils boss Ralf Rangnick’s Austria 2-0 to remain top of their Nations League group.
    And potential new signing Christian Eriksen came off the bench for a 15 minute cameo.
    That result leaves the Danes top with nine points, Croatia second on seven and Austria third with four.
    Paul Pogba’s France are out of contention for a place in the Final Four and are staring down the barrel at relegation, as they sit bottom on just two points.
    Man United make Eriksen offer
    Man United have made an offer to sign Christian Eriksen, according to reports.
    The midfielder, 30, is available on a free at the end of the month with his Brentford contract expiring.
    And now United are looking to take advantage of his contract situation by offering the Danish international a deal, report The Athletic.
    But it seems the Red Devils are not the only club interested in snatching Eriksen away from Brentford.
    Tottenham are reportedly keen to lure Eriksen back to north London and can offer him the added incentive of Champions League football.
    Matic completes Roma transfer
    Roma have competed the signing of Nemanja Matic on a free transfer from Manchester United.
    Matic, 33, has penned a one-year deal that will expire in June 2023.
    During his first interview with the club he hinted that he made the switch in order to reunite with Jose Mourinho, who lured him to Old Trafford in 2017.
    He said: “I am pleased and honoured to be joining this club and I cannot wait to start the new season with my teammates.
    “Roma is a big club, with amazing fans and a coach, Jose Mourinho, who is well known to everyone – making the decision to come here very straightforward.
    “I hope that by working together we are able to achieve some great things.”
    Breaking: Roma confirm Matic signing
    Serie A side Roma have confirmed the signing of Nemanja Matic on a free transfer.
    The Serbian joins the Italians following the expiry of his contract at Manchester United.
    During his five years at Old Trafford, Matic made 189 appearances for the Red Devils.
    The 33-year-old has penned a 12-month deal with the option of a further year as he links up with Jose Mourinho for the third time in his career.
    Frenkie de Jong ‘talks ongoing’
    Negotiations between Manchester United and Barcelona are ‘ongoing’ despite the clubs remaining some distance apart in their valuation of Frenkie de Jong.
    However, despite yesterday’s news that the Red Devils would walk away if no agreement was imminent, Sky now report that that there is a growing belief on both sides that a deal can be done.
    Barca, who had been holding out for €100m for the Dutchman, are now said to be willing to accept a guaranteed €85m offer.
    De Jong is considered happy at the Nou Camp, but would also be open to a reunion with Erik ten Hag, who previously coached him at Ajax.
    Vitinha release fee to be triggered
    An unnamed Premier League club are on the verge of triggering Vitinha’s €40m release fee.
    Portuguese media (via Sports Witness) understand that the Porto midfielder’s buyout clause will be met, freeing him up to discuss terms over a move abroad.
    While the identity of the English club involved in the deal remains a mystery, the 22-year-old has been frequently linked with Manchester United.
    Vitinha spent the 2020-21 season on loan at Wolves, but made little impact across 22 appearances in all competitions.
    However, his impressive performances last term helped Porto to a domestic double, and led to him breaking into the national team setup.

    Rashford ready to regain form
    Marcus Rashford is to embark on an individual ten-day training regime in the United States, reveal The Mail.
    The forward will touch down in America this week, less than a month after the Premier League season ended, in order to begin his fight back to form.
    The forward is desperate to regain his place in both the Manchester United and England teams with the World Cup just five months away.
    Gareth Southgate this week admitted that both Rashford and his United colleague Jadon Sancho had ‘a lot to do’ to force their way into Three Lions reckoning.

    United value plummets by £1.3bn
    The value of Manchester United Football Club has dropped by more than £1.3billion after shares fell to a record low on Monday evening.
    The Manchester Evening News report that by the end of trading yesterday, shares in Manchester United plc were available for just $11.07 – almost half of their value eight months ago.
    A year ago, the shares were valued at $15.66, and peaked at $20.74 in September once Cristiano Ronaldo had rejoined the club.
    Despite the concerning news, United shareholders – including the Glazer family – will receive a windfall of dividends later this month.
    Since the Glazers took over at Old Trafford 17 years ago, share prices in the club have fallen by 21% in total.
    Leipzig want £100m for Nkunku
    RB Leipzig have slapped a £100m price tag on Christopher Nkunku to ward off interest from Europe’s biggest clubs this summer, according to The Independent.
    The 24-year-old is in high demand after plundering 35 goals in all competitions last season for the German outfit, while weighing in with 19 assist for good measure.
    Manchester United are said to be extremely keen on the Frenchman, who won his sixth cap last night.
    However, Leipzig’s extreme asking price may put off potential suitors for the Bundesliga’s Player of the Year.
    The Red Devils are still keen on a forward after missing out on Darwin Nunez to rivals Liverpool.

    GOOD MORNING MAN UTD FANS
    Manchester United have been linked with a move for Derby County teenager Malcolm Ebiowei.
    However, while the Red Devils have entered the race to poach Ebiowei, Fabrizio Romano understands that Crystal Palace are the club in pole position.
    Meanwhile, United are prepared to walk away from a move to sign Frenkie de Jong unless Barcelona lower their valuation.
    Reports suggest that the Catalans are holding out for €100m while the Red Devils are reluctant to pay more than €70m.
    And now sources close to United have revealed that the Premier League club are considering alternatives to the midfielder.
    Elsewhere, Erik ten Hag is said to have made Ajax winger Antony his number one transfer target – but any discussions regarding a move for the Brazilian have so far been internal between those at Old Trafford.
    Transfers guru Fabrizio Romano has revealed that there is certainly a genuine interest in the player from the Red Devils, and rumours suggest an offer of £43m is imminent.
    However, Antony’s brother – Emerson Santos – has dismissed those reports that state negotiations are much further down the line as ‘fake news’.
    Finally, Man United face stiff competition from AC Milan in the pursuit of Marco Asensio, reports claim.
    Milan are determined to bring the Real Madrid striker to Italy this summer, according to Corriere dello Sport.
    And Milan’s director Paolo Maldini has directly contacted Real boss Carlo Ancelotti in order to make Asensio’s move to the Serie A happen, the report adds.
    Ronaldo in touching Marcelo tribute
    Cristiano Ronaldo has paid tribute to his former teammate Marcelo after his Real Madrid departure.
    Ronaldo moved to Madrid in 2009 and spent nine seasons playing alongside the Samba star.
    Sharing a photo of him hugging the South American during their Madrid heyday, Ronaldo wrote: “More than a teammate, a brother that football gave me.
    “On and off the fields, one of the biggest stars with whom I had the pleasure of sharing a locker room. Go with everything on this new adventure, Marcelo!”

    Prem fixture list leaked
    Ahead of Thursday’s Premier League fixture release, a schedule for the 2022-23 season has been ‘leaked’ online.
    An image has emerged on Twitter supposedly showing the first eight match days of the season.

    Beckham attends event with family
    David Beckham was spotted holding his daughter Harper’s ahead of a theatre event in Venice on Monday night.
    Harper, 10, entered the Fenice theatre alongside her famous dad wearing a £1,600 ball gown.
    Manchester United legend David, 47, also showed up in smart attire as he rocked a black suit for the occasion.
    And the father-daughter pair shared a loving moment as they smiled at each other before heading in for the show.
    Beckham’s three other children – Brooklyn, 21, Romeo, 19, and Cruz, 17 – were not spotted at the event.
    But walking behind the Beckhams was a famous face in the form of fashion designer Domenico Dolce.

    Peter Kenyon leads Everton bid
    Ex-Man United and Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon is reportedly the front man for the consortium that are trying to buy Everton.
    He is part of a group that includes chief executive of Minneapolis-based Talon Real Estate Maciek Kaminski and American businessman John Thornton.
    And The Telegraph states that it is being advised by investment specialist Michael Klein and US law firm Weil, Gotshal and Manges.
    Current Everton owner Farhad Moshiri values the club at over £500m, which takes into account their debt.
    This report claims that “heads of terms have been signed” although talks are still at a “relatively early stage”.
    And the consortium could demand that they get some guarantees should the Premier League club get a points deduction or large fine over Financial Fair Play issues.
    Cavani linked with Real Madrid
    Real Madrid are considering a swoop for Edinson Cavani.
    Cavani will leave Man United this summer on a free transfer.
    And according to Fichajes, Real are willing to give the Uruguayan a new home.
    Los Blancos boss Carlo Ancelotti wants to bring in Cavani to rival Karim Benzema on a short-term deal, the report adds.

    He wrote: “Manchester United and Crystal Palace are leading the race to sign Derby County’s Malcolm Ebiowei, talented striker born in 2003. #MUFC.
    “AS Monaco asked for him too but he’s expected to stay in Premier League – Man Utd and Palace are leading the race. #CPFC.”
    Matic arrives in Italy
    Nemanja Matic has landed in Italy ahead of his free transfer move from Manchester United to Roma.
    He is due to reunite with former Chelsea and United manager Jose Mourinho in the capital city for a third time.
    Matic was pictured arriving at Ciampino’s airport in Rome earlier today, where he was only too happy to wave for the camera.
    And he also signed autographs for fans waiting for his arrival ahead of putting pen-to-paper on his Roma contract.
    The veteran is now due to undergo the formalities of a medical before officially joining last season’s Europa Conference League winners.

    Ten Hag’s first game CONFIRMED
    Man United have confirmed that Erik ten Hag’s first game in charge at Old Trafford will be against Rayo Vallecano in a pre-season friendly.
    La Liga side Rayo Vallecano will travel to Manchester on Sunday July 31 for the clash, which promises to be a huge occasion.
    In an official statement on the official Man Utd website, football director John Murtough said: “Pre-season is all about preparation and this is a great opportunity for those squad members who may not have featured in some of our earlier Tour and pre-season matches to get valuable minutes on the pitch – and where better to do this than Old Trafford?
    “This will be the new manager’s first match at Old Trafford, and I am sure the fans will provide him with a warm welcome.”
    More on Fernandes’ rant
    The 27-year-old raced towards the Swiss bench as TV cameras cut to the technical areas and teared into the opposition as he was held back by a Portugal coach and a Uefa official.
    Fernandes appeared to scream “f*** you” as he pointed at another person and then launch to more F-bombs.
    Fernandes loses his cool
    Bruno Fernandes appeared to launch an X-rated rant as his Portugal side suffered a Nations League defeat to Switzerland.
    The game exploded into life during the dying stages after Swiss defender Nico Elvedi went down easily following a challenge by Andre Silva.
    The hosts were trying to run down the seconds as they held on, and Gladbach ace Elvedi instantly grabbed the ball as he anticipated getting the free-kick, which the official awarded.
    Both sets of players piled in after appealing the incident as Switzerland boss Murat Yakin got more-and-more animated on the sideline.
    And that was what appeared to spark Fernandes, who had been replaced by Matheus Nunes in the 74th minute, into a rage as he launched several F-bombs.
