    Arsenal were also linked before they missed out on a top four finish.
    But it’s now reckoned Dybala could stay in Italy with Roma.
    The capital club are on the up after winning the first-ever Europa Conference League.
    And Mourinho feels Dybala can form a fine partnership with hotshot striker Tammy Abraham.

    Roma are also pouncing now to take advantage of Inter Milan’s stalling.
    Last season’s Serie A champs were in talks with Dybala, but those have cooled off as they explore a potential return for Chelsea’s Romelu Lukaku.
    Inter also appear to have convinced Henrikh Mkhitaryan to snub a new Roma deal and join them on a free transfer.
    So Mourinho is now ready to make his own move by pulling off a stunning swoop for Dybala.
    The ex-Palermo man best operates as a secondary striker.
    He netted 115 times for Juventus in 293 games.

    Rangnick LEAVES United, Frenkie de Jong boost, £50m Ruben Neves bid, United ‘to ask Chelsea about Kante availability’

    MANCHESTER UNITED have announced that Ralf Rangnick will not stay on as a consultant next season. “We would like to thank Ralf Rangnick for his efforts as interim manager over the past six months,” a statement read.
    “By mutual agreement, Ralf will now focus solely on his new role as manager of the Austria national team and will not therefore be taking up a consultancy role at Old Trafford.
    “We would like to wish Ralf the best of luck in this next chapter of his career.”
    Meanwhile, United are on the verge of making a new bid for Ruben Neves, SunSport can reveal.
    The Wolves man is set to choose between United and Barcelona this summer with the West Midlands club already having a replacement lined up.
    And United are also looking to pursue Barcelona man Frenkie de Jong’s signature.

    De Jong deal
    Man Utd are prepared to make Frenkie De Jong their highest paid player in order to tempt him away from Barcelona, according to reports.
    New United boss Erik ten Hag is desperate to bring the Dutch midfielder to Old Trafford to bolster the squad.
    De Jong, is well known to want to play Champions League football, but United are prepared to offer an eye-watering £395,000 a week in order to tempt him into a move, according to the Daily Star.
    This would immediately elevate him above the likes of David de Gea (£375,000), Jadon Sancho (£350,000) Raphael Varane (£340,000), and above Cristiano Ronaldo (£300,000) in United’s books.

    Ten Hag’s double raid
    New Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is reportedly plotting a double transfer raid of Darwin Nunez and Jurrien Timber.
    The new Old Trafford chief has already set his sights on fresh talent as he looks to rebuild the team.
    Ten Hag is now wasting no time in recruiting talent, with the Mirror reporting that the club has identified two priorities.
    Benfica striker Nunez caught the eyes of fans this season as he hit 26 goals in 28 league games for Benfica, and has been heavily linked with the Manchester side.
    While ten Hag wants Ajax defender Timber to join him from his former club, with the 20-year-old valued at £35 million.
    Ronaldo forces training changes
    Cristiano Ronaldo has forced changes at Manchester United’s training ground after complaining about the state of its swimming pool, reports claim.
    The Portuguese returned to the Red Devils last summer, only to be left shocked by the state of Carrington.
    It’s claimed that the 37-year-old couldn’t believe the condition that United’s HQ had been allowed to fall into.
    And he reportedly returned feeling that no upgrades had been made since his initially left for Real Madrid in 2009.
    According to the Mirror, Ronaldo’s main gripe was with the state of the swimming pools at Carrington.
    The five-time Ballon d’Or winner complained that “loose, chipped and missing tiles” within the pools were a safety hazard – and refused to use them.
    Ronaldo even made sure to have an indoor pool at home in order to still be able to perform water-based drills.
    United have taken their No7’s criticisms onboard, and have ordered work to be completed on the pools in order to get them ready for pre-season.
    Southgate on Man United pair
    Man United duo Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho must win over new manager Erik ten Hag quickly in order to keep their World Cup dreams alive.
    That is the message from Gareth Southgate, who has left the pair out of his England squad again.
    Asked if the forwards still had a chance of forcing their way back in, Southgate said: “They do because I think there’s enough of a block of games at the beginning of next season that people can still play their way in.
    “Of course it’s more difficult — you know, the closer we get, the more difficult it is.
    “But they’ve got to start playing well with their club. Neither of them have really played at the end of the season.
    England is a consequence of what you’re doing at your club and you’ve got to get your club bit right.
    “Compared to others in those positions that we’ve picked, their level hasn’t been at the level of the others.”
    Man United release Rangnick statement
    Man United have also confirmed Rangnick’s departure from the club.
    A club statement read: “We would like to thank Ralf Rangnick for his efforts as interim manager over the past six months.
    “By mutual agreement, Ralf will now focus solely on his new role as manager of the Austria national team and will not therefore be taking up a consultancy role at Old Trafford.
    “We would like to wish Ralf the best of luck in this next chapter of his career.”
    Rangnick CONFIRMS Man United exit
    Ralf Rangnick has revealed he will not be staying with Man United as a consultant.
    Rangnick was expected to go upstairs after his stint as United’s interim boss last season and assist new head coach Erik ten Hag.
    But Rangnick revealed that he will be leaving the club to focus on his role as Austria’s new manager.
    Benji Siegrist in Preston talks
    Preston boss Ryan Lowe is in talks with Dundee United’s Swiss keeper Benji Siegrist in a bid to sign him on a free transfer, ALAN NIXON WRITES.
    Lowe wants THREE new shot stoppers and the highly rated Siegrist who started his career in England with Aston Villa.
    Siegrist is out of contract and has also been watched by Celtic and Manchester United as cover but North End would give him the chance to be first choice.
    The Swiss has impressed since joining the Tangerines from Vaduz in 2018.
    He helped them to the Scottish Championship title in 2019-20, before easily taking to top flight football.
    Siegrist, 30, played his part last term as Dundee United qualified for next season’s Europa Conference League by coming fourth in the Premiership.
    Merson on The Glazers
    Man United’s American owners care about their investments back home over the Prem giants.
    That’s the opinion of Paul Merson who compared the Glazer’s success with their NFL team the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to that of United;s in recent years.
    And Merson warned Chelsea it could be the same for them under new American owner Todd Boehly.
    Merson told the Daily Star: “Look at Manchester United. The Glazers have won the Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But how long is it now since United challenged for the title?”
    Ronnie Edwards transfer frenzy
    Aston Villa and Southampton have joined the host of Premier League clubs eyeing a £10million summer swoop for Peterborough teenager Ronnie Edwards.
    The centre back has been linked with Crystal Palace, Tottenham and Manchester United after being a shining light in a season that ended in Posh being relegated to League One.
    Peterborough director of football Barry Fry has insisted that it would take a record offer for one of the club’s players to persuade him to let Edwards go this year.
    And the ever-increasing interest in the 19-year-old makes it certain Fry will be able to generate more than the £6.2m received for Britt Assombalonga in 2014.
    If Edwards performs well for England at next month’s European Under-19 Championship, his stock will rise further.
    Peterborough may seek a deal that would see Edwards return to the club on loan for next season, but any buyer could prefer him to play at a higher level than League One.
    Evra gives transfer tips
    Patrice Evra has told Man United boss Erik ten Hag what to look for when signing players.
    He said: “It’s a tough job, but he will have to make [hard] decisions.
    “When he brings one player to the club, [he must make sure] they’re not coming for the money, they’re not coming to become famous, but they are coming here to fight for the badge.
    “That, for me, will be one of his most important things.”
    Fabregas makes Frenk assessment
    Man United have been warned that transfer target Frenkie de Jong isn’t the complete package.
    That’s the view of ex-Arsenal star Cesc Fabregas who claims De Jong’s passing isn’t up to scratch.
    He said when assessing De Jong: “He just lacks the final pass.”
    Bale matches Ronaldo record
    Gareth Bale matched Cristiano Ronaldo’s record FIFTH Champions League trophy… despite playing just seven minutes in the competition this season.
    The winger, 32, was an unused substitute in the final as Real Madrid beat Liverpool 1-0.
    Despite that several fans on social media were quick to applaud Bale and congratulate him on his fifth Champions League title – the same number as Ronaldo and one more than Lionel Messi.
    One fan said: “Can we all just appreciate the #GarethBale is dancing on the pitch laughing his arse off at the fans that hate him – what a fella!”
    Arsenal enter Raphinha race
    Arsenal have entered the transfer race for Leeds ace Raphinha.
    But the Gunners face stiff competition from Barcelona and Man United for the Brazilian, according to Italian journalist Gianluigi Longari.
    Barca view Raphinha as the ideal replacement for Man United target Ousmane Dembele, the report adds.
    Man United face Liverpool transfer battle
    Man United are set to be joined by Liverpool in the race to sign Ousmane Dembele.
    That’s according to Sport, who claim the Reds are plotting a swoop for the Barca star this summer.
    And Jurgen Klopp’s side have already been in contact with the winger over a possible transfer.
    Dembele is set to be a free agent in the summer months as his contract expiry date looms.
    Garner wanted by Leicester
    Man Utd youth star James Garner is wanted by Leicester City, after a successful spell at Nottingham Forest this campaign.
    The 21-year-old’s future hangs in the balance with new manager Erik ten Hag undecided about the talent.
    According to reports, he will assess the player in preseason to decide if he wants to keep him.
    That has alerted Brendan Rodgers, who is keen to bolster his midfield ahead of next season.
    Southampton are also said to be waiting in the wings.
    Focus on youth
    Erik ten Hag has been lauded by Head of Academy by Nick Cox, after his appointment.
    Speaking on the Man Utd website, Cox revealed: “It’s great that we’ve recruited a manager who has a proven commitment to developing young players, and comes from a club which has a very similar emphasis on youth.”
    According to reports, ten Hag will be given a £120million war chest to improve his squad.
    He will also be looking to promote from within, especially given the FA Youth Cup final win this season.
    De Jong boost
    Man Utd could have the opportunity to sign Frenkie de Jong with Barcelona targeting Carlos Soler, according to reports.
    Erik ten Hag is plotting a squad rebuild this summer and De Jong is said to be one of his transfer targets.
    Barcelona could sell the Dutchman due to a need to raise money, with Soler a potential replacement according to Sport.
    Barca reportedly believe Soler could be a top player in the future and he could be available for a cut-price as he is entering the final year of his contract.
    Barnes disses Ronaldo
    Liverpool legend John Barnes has pointed the finger at Cristiano Ronaldo for the “disharmony” in the Man Utd dressing room.
     “He causes disunity and disharmony,” he said at a William Hill event via the Daily Mirror.
    When the ball does not come to him, he throws his hands up in the air, that’s a great example, isn’t it? The harmony at Manchester United is a problem and who causes that disharmony?
    “He walks around as though ‘it’s the rest of them, I’m doing my job’. That’s not what a leader does – that’s what someone who does it for himself does.”
    Utd miss out on Johnstone
    Crystal Palace are reportedly set to beat Manchester United and Tottenham in the race to sign goalkeeper Sam Johnstone.
    The Evening Standard claim that the West Brom stopper, who’s contract expires this summer, is in advanced talks with the Eagles.
    Johnstone, 29, has been capped by England three times and was keen on a move back to the Premier League after spending last year in the Championship.
    Man Utd were considering a move for Johnstone to play second fiddle to David De Gea due to Dean Henderson supposedly heading to Newcastle.
    Neville speaks on McClaren
    Gary Neville has backed Steve McClaren to be successful as a coach at Man United.
    Neville told the club’s website: “I think Ten Hag comes as a successful coach, a coach that’s won, a coach that’s got belief and knows how to build an idea.
    “I think he does need someone alongside him on the side of the pitch that can tell him about different stadiums, referees, different things that happen culturally in England around matches.
    “Steve McClaren’s got vast experience, not just at Manchester United but obviously in English football.”
    Just give us a Koul
    Barcelona have reportedly put Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly at the top of their defensive wishlist.
    Koulibaly is yet to sign a new contract with Napoli despite the club’s best efforts.
    And the Serie A side are willing to sell the centre-back to avoid letting him go for free next summer, according to Sport.
    Napoli will take £25m for Koulibaly, a price that could prompt Barca to make a swoop for him, the report added.
    Man United are also keeping tabs on Koulibaly.
    Diallo set for United return
    Man United ace Amad Diallo is set to return to Old Trafford this summer.
    He has been on loan with Rangers since January, but his time at the Ibrox won’t extend beyond the summer.
    Diallo wished the club farewell on social media, and said: “Thanks guys it was a pleasure to be part of your beautiful trip…wish you all the best.
    Lingard gets fit before exit
    Jesse Lingard is hard at work in the gym ahead of his Manchester United exit this summer.
    The 29-year-old worked up a sweat as he pumped weights in anticipation of his next move.
    There is interest in his services both from the Premier League and abroad.
    In the meantime Lingard is making sure he keeps himself in tip-top shape ahead of his next move.
    He promised fans he is “overly focused” as he ponders his next destination.

    Christian Eriksen snubbed Man United
    Christian Eriksen snubbed Manchester United over a promise made to Tottenham owner Daniel Levy in 2017, according to reports.
    The Daily Mail claimed the Dane’s agent Martin Schoots passed on the vow that he would not join another London club out of respect to Spurs.
    And Eriksen, now 30, apparently extended his promise to all English clubs when United’s interest came out.
    Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was hoping to secure an £80million deal for the playmaker but failed to land his man.
    Kante set to leave for cut-price
    Chelsea are set to let N’Golo Kante leave for a cut-price fee this summer amid interest from Man United, reports claim.
    His contract is up at the end of next season, and Blues boss Thomas Tuchel wants to switch up his midfield, The Athletic reported.
    And he’s willing to let Kante go for a reduced fee to do so, the report added.

    He said: “It’s called M10 and I knew it would work. It has worked on most footballers. I’ve got Riyad Mahrez with it.

    “Success won’t be achieved overnight but we are determined to get there, and we will be relentless in our efforts to achieve it.

    Ron was the best
    Edinson Cavani reckons Cristiano Ronaldo was Man United’s best player last season.
    And David De Gea was just behind the Portuguese attacker in Cavani’s eyes.
    Cavani said: “I think that, apart from having a short period when he wasn’t getting on the scoresheet, which can happen when you are a striker, Cristiano was probably our one player who showed the most consistency.
    “After him comes David [De Gea], as he has also been one of the most consistent performers in the squad, so together, they have been the most consistent and best players in the squad from our season this time around.”
    One final push for Neves
    Man United are on the verge of making a final move for Wolves ace Ruben Neves, JORDAN DAVIES WRITES.
    United have been tracking Neves, 25, with a view to buying for the past 12 months, first through ex-boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer last summer.
    The Red Devils then saw a £35m January move turned away, and SunSport understands they are looking to go again in the next couple of weeks with new boss Erik ten Hag a big fan.
    However, Barcelona are also in the running, and could snatch Neves away from Old Trafford with the lure of the Champions League a big pull.
    Neves’ contract runs out in 2024, but has stalled on negotiating an extension.
    Kan it happen?
    Man United are considering a transfer approach for N’Golo Kante.
    United boss Erik ten Hag wants to add some steel to the team’s midfield, and reckons Kante’s the man for the job, according to The Guardian.
    Kante has a year left on his contract and United wonder if Chelsea are willing to let him leave this summer.
    However, the Red Devils will face resistance from Blues boss Thomas Tuchel as it’s unlikely he’ll be willing Kante leave without a fight, the report adds.
    Raphina transfer battle heats up
    Arsenal have joined the transfer race for Leeds star Raphina.
    Man United and Chelsea are already tracking the Brazilian playmaker.
    But now the Gunners have entered the fray for Raphina, who Leeds won’t sell for less than £64m, Football London reported.
    Good morning Man Utd fans
    Manchester United officials have consulted new boss Erik ten Hag about the possibility of signing Villarreal’s Pau Torres, according to reports.
    The Spanish international has been a long-term target for the Red Devils.
    Torres could even take his No4 shirt, should Phil Jones leave the club.
    United are prepared to listen to offers for three defenders as Ten Hag begins work on his back line.
    Reports claim that the Red Devils will part with Jones, Eric Bailly and Alex Tuanzebe if they receive suitable offers.
    Man Utd bosses have drawn up a shortlist of goalkeepers to potentially bring in as back-up for David de Gea.
    The Red Devils require a new reserve stopper after Lee Grant announced his retirement from playing yesterday while current number two, Dean Henderson, is expected to move on.
    Reports say that both Newcastle’s Karl Darlow and Watford’s Daniel Bachmann are currently being considered.
    A return to Old Trafford for Sam Johnstone had been on the agenda, but the England goalkeeper now looks destined to join Crystal Palace.
    Red Devil McShane retires
    Former Manchester United defender Paul McShane has officially retired from playing to pursue a career in coaching, writes Giacomo Pisa.
    The 36-year-old has spent the last season unusually playing with the Under-23s, while also coaching various age groups within the academy.
    McShane made six appearances for the U23s in the campaign just gone, despite his age.
    He is set to stay at United in a coaching capacity in the Professional Development Phase at the academy, which covers the U18s to U23s.
    McShane won 33 caps for the Republic of Ireland across the course of his career, but failed to ever make a senior appearance for the Red Devils.
    He did however enjoy spells with the likes of Hull City, Reading, West Brom and Brighton.
    McShane most recently played for League Two outfit Rochdale before joining United U23s last summer.
    Arsenal and United interested in Villa wonderkid Chukwuemeka 
    Barcelona have reportedly entered the race to sign Aston Villa starlet Carney Chukwuemeka with Arsenal also keen on the midfielder.
    The 18-year-old has been linked with a summer exit away from the Midlands with his contract at Villa Park to expire in 2023.
    Chukwuemeka was linked with the likes of Manchester United, City and Liverpool last season, with Bayern Munich and Juventus also keen.
    And fellow European sides Monaco, PSV Eindhoven and RB Leipzig have also been claimed to be keen on prising him away from England.
    And following a breakthrough campaign which has seen him feature in 12 Premier League games, clubs are keen to test Villa’s resolve of the player.
    It was claimed in March how Mikel Arteta had eyed up the Young Lions ace as a possible replacement for Granit Xhaka should the Swiss star depart.
    Reports stated how the Gunners have sent scouts to watch the youngster in action numerous times this term.
    And according to Sport, the North London outfit remain interested in the teenager ahead of a possible swoop.
    Red Devils to reshape defence
    Manchester United are prepared to listen to offers for three defenders as Erik ten Hag begins work on his back line.
    The MEN report that the Red Devils will part with Eric Bailly, Phil Jones and Alex Tuanzebe if they receive suitable offers.
    Ivory Coast international Bailly arrived in 2016 for £30m, but only made four appearances in the Premier League last season.
    Jones, meanwhile, has been blighted by injuries in recent years, and only has a year remaining on his contract; Tuanzebe has spent much of the past two campaigns out on loan without success.
    Ten Hag consulted on Torres transfer as shirt number looms
    Manchester United officials have consulted new boss Erik ten Hag about the possibility of signing Villarreal’s Pau Torres, according to the MEN.
    The Spanish international has been a long-term target for the Red Devils, and was first considered during Ole Gunnar Solksjaer’s time in the hot seat.
    Torres could even take his No4 shirt, should Phil Jones leave the club.
    The recruitment department at Old Trafford have continued to monitor Torres’ situation, and now seem set to make a move – but only if Ten Hag gives the deal the green light.

    United tipped to step in front of Chelsea with Nkunku bid
    Manchester United will swoop in ahead of Chelsea with a bid for RB Leipzig star Christopher Nkunku next week, according to reports.
    Nkunku, 24, was named as the Bundesliga Player of the Season earlier this week.

    Sky Sports Germany claim Nkunku’s representatives are “in contact” with the Red Devils.
    United are right at the front of the queue to sign the hot shot and an offer is “to be expected next week”.
    They are hoping to beat Chelsea as the Blues also ready themselves to launch a bid.
    Club consultant Ralf Rangnick – who once called Nkunku “the best young player in Germany” – has already “advocated the move” to Old Trafford.
    United set De Jong deadline
    Barcelona’s Frenkie De Jong remains one of Manchester United’s top targets this summer.
    However, the new ruthless Red Devils will not let the move become a drawn-out transfer saga and have set a deadline in order to get the deal done.
    Sport understand that United’s ultimatum will allow them to look elsewhere should the Dutchman decide to stay at the Nou Camp.
    Barca are reluctantly ready to part with the 25-year-old given their financial issues, and Erik ten Hag is incredibly keen on capturing his compatriot.

    Cavani pens farewell
    In an interview with United’s website, Cavani said: “I sincerely have nothing but words of gratitude towards the fans and supporters of Manchester United.
    “Honestly, they have shown me a lot of respect from the very first moment I arrived.
    “I think they’ve greatly recognised all the hard work I’ve always tried to put in in the best way possible, giving my best for this team.
    “I really am very grateful, and I’ll be leaving here with a happy memory of that affection they showed me and always displayed.
    “I wanted to contribute more this season.
    “One of the things that has left me with a slightly bitter taste is that when we had a highly enjoyable and pretty decent [2020/21] season, we weren’t able to have the supporters along with us.
    “And now, this season, with the fans coming back into the grounds and stadiums, I haven’t really been able to have the kind of campaign, if I’m being honest, on a personal front that I would really have liked.”
    See you Edinson
    Edinson Cavani has penned a heartfelt goodbye message to Manchester United ahead of his summer exit.
    The iconic Uruguayan will be a free agent when his contract expires at the end of June.
    Cavani, 35, only featured 20 times for United this term and only managed to score twice.
    Last season, he netted 17 including a long range stunner in the 1-1 draw with Fulham at Old Trafford.
    But his decrease in goals is a regret for Cavani, who says he “wanted to contribute more” this term.

    Man Utd ‘keen to find out if N’Golo Kante will be sold this summer’ as new boss Erik ten Hag eyes Chelsea star

    MANCHESTER UNITED hold an interest in signing N’Golo Kante and are eager to find out whether Chelsea are open to selling him. The Chelsea midfielder has just one more year left on his contract at the club.

    New Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag has set his sights on N’Golo KanteCredit: EPA
    And according to The Guardian, it seems likely that they would be willing to offload the Frenchman.
    Kante, 31, has been put in numerous outstanding performances for the Blues, such as last season’s Champions League final, but he has struggled with injury this season.
    He started just 55 per cent of Premier League matches nursing a knee problem throughout the campaign.
    Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has highlighted the importance of Kante on many ocassions saying he is a “key player” but he could have to accept that the World Cup winner leaves his side.

    New Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag is keen to bolster his midfield options this summer as he looks to rebuild the squad.
    With Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic heading to the Old Trafford exit door, United are in desperate need for a defensive minded midfielder.
    The Red Devils are interested in West Ham’s Declan Rice as well as Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong, who worked with ten Hag at Ajax.

    Man Utd star Amad Diallo sends emotional farewell message to Rangers fans after loan spell ahead of Red Devils return

    AMAD DIALLO’S loan spell in Scotland has come to an end.The £37million Manchester United loanee spent the second half of this season at Rangers but struggled to nail down a consistent starting spot.
    Rangers’ loan of Manchester United prospect Amad Diallo has finished
    Diallo started off with a debut goal at Ross County but was relegated to the subs bench after a half-time hooking at Celtic Park days later.
    He came on to score twice in the penultimate league matches with Dundee United and Ross County and started in the final day 3-1 win at Tynecastle.
    And the 19-yaer-old was even trusted to start in the Scottish Cup final against the Jambos at Hampden too.
    Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s men won 2-0 after extra-time on the day to end their domestic cup drought since 2009.

    He added a compilation of clips showcasing all his best moments in a Gers shirt too.
    As things stand Diallo is going back to Old Trafford to fight for his place under new boss Erik Ten Haag.

    A move back to Ibrox is thought to be unlikely with Gers sporting director Ross Wilson choosing to look at different targets instead.
    Rangers fans in the comments however seem as though they’d be happy to see a return.
    One replied: “Class wee man. Hope to see you for another year.
    “If not, make that just the first of many medals.”
    Another added: “Thanks for your contribution @AmadDiallo_19. Once a Ranger always a Ranger.”
    A third said: “Welcome back any time young man, all the best to you.”
    One man however that could be incoming at Ibrox is ex-Manchester City defender Cameron Humphreys.
    Rangers are said to be among the clubs chasing the centre-back who leave Belgian side Zulte Waregem on a free this summer. More

    And according to The Manchester Evening News, Old Trafford chiefs have internally discussed the Spaniard as a transfer target with Ten Hag.
    It is claimed Torres, 25, was shortlisted as a defensive option last year but the club turned to Raphael Varane, 29, from Real Madrid instead.
    Torres has a release clause in his current contract, believed to be around £50m, after he penned an extension until 2024 three years ago.
    The defender played 47 times for Villarreal last season and helped them seventh with five league goals.

    United captain Harry Maguire, 29, suffered a rather torrid campaign and incoming boss Ten Hag refused to reveal if the England international will keep the armband.
    Asked on captaincy, the Dutchman said: “I have to repeat, next season is a different season but I think he did a great job.
    “He is a great player, he achieved a lot, also the contribution to Manchester United.
    “So I’m looking forward to working with him.”

    Ten Hag was then asked what he wants to see from Ronaldo, to which he bluntly answered: “I talk first with Ronaldo before I talk with you.”
