    Two central midfielders, plus a striker and a centre-half are top of Ten Hag’s summer wishlist.
    Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong is one name on the list, but SunSport exclusively revealed earlier this month United face a battle to sign the former Ajax star.
    Glazer though suggested funds will be available in the upcoming window.
    When asked by Sky Sports if the club are able to invest before next season, Glazer replied: “We’ve always spent the money necessary to buy new players.”

    The 61-year-old, a hugely unpopular figure among the United fanbase, was also asked if he was disappointed with the season just gone.
    United posted a measly 58 points, finishing sixth-place in the table.
    But Glazer initially said: “I don’t think this is the time to talk about that.”
    Although he then conceded: “It is a disappointing season, it’s been a disappointing season for everyone and we’re going to work hard to make next season a better season.”

    But Glazer is firm in the belief that Ten Hag is the right man to turn the club’s fortunes around.
    When quizzed whether the Dutchman was up to the task, Glazer hit back: “That’s why we hired him, he’ll do a great job.”
    United fans have protested against the Glazer ownership on numerous occasions this season.
    Huge letters spelling “Glazers out” were unfurled before the 3-2 win over Norwich last month.
    During the same game some fans refused to take their seats until the 17th minute to mark one minute for every year of Glazer ownership.
    There were also protests during the final home game of the season against Brentford.
    And just last week United fans got the term “#BoycottAdidas” trending on Twitter in a bid to target the Glazers’ stakeholders. More

    From style of play to the transfer window and channelling legends like Sir Alex Ferguson, as well as the energy of Old Trafford, Ten Hag is certain to have United fans excited after his first interview.

    First and foremost, Ten Hag was keen to hammer home the fact he is desperate for Man Utd to attack – including continuing interim boss Ralf Rangnick’s work to press high up the pitch.
    Ten Hag told the Man Utd website: “We are playing in the Theatre of Dreams. We want to entertain.
    “The intention is to play fantastic football. If we can’t play fantastic football, we still have to win.
    “[We must] accept the current situation but also know one year ago, this club was second in the Premier League.
    “There’s potential and now it’s up to us to get that out. It’s a process, it will take time, but I’m convinced we will come to that point where we get success.
    “We have to work hard and it has to be based on the right philosophy and strategy.
    “In certain positions we want to renew the squad, but as I said, one year ago, this squad was second in the league, so there is potential and I’m really looking forward to co-operating with the squad.
    “I have to build, starting a new relationship with the squad, with my players.
    ” I have high expectations from myself and that is also what I demand from my squad.
    “They have to co-operate together and they have to give every day their best. And I would say, for me, good is not good enough. We have to do better.”
    WALKING IN FOOTSTEPS OF GIANTS
    But Ten Hag admits he too must work hard as he aims to follow in the footsteps of Fergie, Sir Matt Busby and Sir Bobby Charlton.
    The ex-Ajax chief continued: “I have to do my best and I will give everything, every day. Every day I will go to the maximum that I have, so hopefully I can continue their legacy.
    “I know the history of Man Utd, I know the big times and the audience, the vibe that can be around Old Trafford.
    “I watched them in their big times, when Sir Alex Ferguson was manager, during the really successful times when they won titles and were dominating Europe.

    “But also before Sir Alex, Man Utd was a really big club and I know names like Busby and Charlton that gave Man Utd a presence to the outside world from winning, and winning in a spectacular way, winning so they entertain people.
    “What stays with me is there was always a fighting culture. They fight together and they get success.
    “The fans behind the ambience at Old Trafford… it will be fabulous and I’m really looking forward to getting that experience.
    “I will give everything necessary to get Man Utd back where they belong.
    “I’ve been aware of the massive presence and the massive audience around Man Utd.
    “It’s all over the world, so I’ve been aware, and I will do my best and take responsibility to deliver them the success they need.”
    “The way we did it [at Ajax] – with dominant, dictating football – that is the way I want to act in Man Utd as well.Erik ten Hag
    Ten Hag covered himself in glory with his impressive success at Ajax, where his attack-first approach and faith in their youth system paid off in a huge way, particularly in 2018-19.
    That season, Ajax were just minutes away from the Champions League final before Tottenham’s last-ditch comeback, while completing the Dutch league-cup Double.
    And Ten Hag is planning to stick to his guns, adding: “Of course [there will be similarities], but you never can compare teams.
    “The way we did it [at Ajax] – with dominant, dictating football – that is the way I want to act in Man Utd as well.
    “But the competence and the quality of the players decide how you have to play.
    “I know our opponents are highly motivated to beat Man Utd and we have to be ready for that. To go and win that battle.
    “Even if they are over-motivated, we have to be more. We always have to be more willing to win the game than the opponent.
    “We are playing in the Theatre of Dreams and have to entertain the opponent. We are playing in the opponent’s half and we have to do attacking football.
    “We have to do the pressing, the total high-pressing and the adventurous football.
    “Also Ajax has that history of bringing young talents into the first team.”
    Ten Hag concluded his interview by insisting it’s “not about” him, but instead the team as a whole.
    He claimed: “We don’t have to go over my football. It’s about the Man Utd football and about the Man Utd identity and philosophy.
    “I think that you pointed it out: it has to be about attacking football. We have to bring structures in the way of playing, so we can play attacking football.

    Man Utd transfer news: Crystal Palace loss REACTION, Jonathan David targeted, Pogba to sign for Juventus – updates

    MANCHESTER UNITED’S painful season concluded in yet more miserable fashion when they lost 1-0 to Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.Though new boss Erik ten Hag was in attendance to watch the game at Selhurst Park as he begins his preparations for next season.
    Paul Pogba is set to leave the club after seven years on a free, with reports the Frenchman has agreed a deal with Juventus.
    United have been linked with a move for Jurrien Timber from Ajax and Jonathan David from Lille as they look to get their summer transfer business started.

    Bailly row
    According to reports, Man Utd recalled Eric Bailly from Ivory Coast when staff discovered he was in a different location that was agreed upon.
    Bailly returned home late from the African Cup of Nations, and injured too.
    The Athletic reporter Laurie Whitwell says Red Devils boss Ralf Rangnick tore into him when he returned in front of the whole squad.
    Russian intelligence
    Ralf Rangnick received intelligence from Russia during his stint as Manchester United interim manager, reports suggest.
    According to The Athletic, Rangnick was in constant contact with former Lokomotiv Moscow assistant Lars Kornetka during his six-month stint at Old Trafford.
    The German tactician wanted to bring Kornetka with him to Manchester but he stayed in Russia due to commitments with Lokomotiv.
    The two men have been working together for more than a decade at Hoffenheim, Schalke and RB Leipzig.
    Rangnick rates his fellow German’s insight so highly that he has been tapping into him since the day he took over the Red Devils’ hotseat.
    Kornetka would talk to the 63-year-old’s assistant Ewan Sharp on match days and the now former United caretaker boss always checked his phone at half-time.
    Real deal
    Real Madrid have reportedly opened talks with Monaco star Aurelien Tchouameni in a blow to a string of Premier League sides.
    Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea are among the teams who had been targeting the highly-rated midfielder.
    Madrid will be hunting for high-profile summer signings after being snubbed by Kylian Mbappe on Saturday.
    And journalist Santi Aouna reports that the Spanish club has been in contact and ready to make an offer.
    Ronaldo stat
    Cristiano Ronaldo was MIA today for Man Utd in their defeat at Crystal Palace.
    The Red Devils crashed to a 1-0 loss at Selhurst Park.
    Incredibly, that’s 10 games he has missed this season – and even more astonishing is the fact United haven’t won any of those matches without him.
    Not so much a “problem” then.
    De Gea to stay
    David De Gea has revealed his plans to stay at Old Trafford for next season.
    “I want to forget this season and be 100% ready for next season. It has been horrible,” he told BBC Sport.
    “Ones who want to stay, stay at the club. Ones that don’t want to stay go out. You don’t have to stay”.
    Ten Hag will have his own ideas.
    Premier League 2021-22
    This is where we finished, and who did what in terms of European qualification.
    Title: Manchester City
    UCL: Liverpool, Chelsea, Spurs
    UEL: Arsenal, Manchester United
    UECL: West Ham
    Relegation: Burnley, Watford, Norwich
    Europa League for United
    So, it’s Europa League football for Man Utd next season.
    The Red Devils lost away to Palace, but with West Ham slipping to a 3-1 defeat at Brighton it didn’t matter.
    They finished sixth in the table, and will want a better season next campaign.
    Ten Hag, who was in attendance, has a hell of a job on his hands.
    Brighton level
    United are back up to sixth and a Europa League spot – thanks to a Brighton leveller.
    It’s Veltman with the goal, that slipped through the grasp of Fabianski in the Hammers goal.
    Ten Hag could get his hands on his first silverware there then.
    And I’m sure United fans will get added satisfaction in seeing Man City fans currently suffering – as they trail at home to Villa.
    As things stand
    Champions -Man City
    Champions League – Liverpool – Chelsea – Tottenham
    Europa League – Arsenal- West Ham
    Relegated – Burnley
    United look like they’re headed to the Conference League.
    Zaha haunts United
    It’s the former United man who gives Palace the lead at Selhurst Park.
    Wilfried Zaha, who couldn’t get a look in at Old Trafford but is so often Palace’s talisman, with the goal.
    Patrick Vieira always loved coming up against Man Utd.
    Will he win against them as a boss too?
    Spot ten Hag
    Erik ten Hag is in attendance at Selhurst Park!The incoming Man Utd boss is watching his new players in action against Crystal Palace alongside assistant Mitchell van der Gaag.
    He doesn’t seem to be too happy either with what he’s seen so far.
    Lots of work to do, he surely ponders.

    Cavani and Mejbri start for Manchester United
    Ralf Rangnick has named Cavani in his last game as Manchester United manager against Crystal Palace. The Red Devils are without Cristiano Ronaldo this afternoon, who is unavailable with a hip injury.
    In addition, the Austrian has called up teenager, Hannibal Mejbri. Harry Maguire also returns to the back four.

    Man Utd starting XI for today
    Here is the team showing what they have in front of new gaffer Erik ten Hag.
    19-year-old Hannibal Mejbri starts.

    Will the kids play? – Line up revealed in two minutes
    Man Utd are set to give the kids a chance against Crystal Palace as Charlie Savage among youngsters spotted travelling to London.
    Savage, 19, could make his Premier League debut after being named in the travelling squad for their final game of the season, writes Jake Lambourne.
    The Red Devils face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Sunday in a game that will decide what European competition they will be playing next term.
    Failure to beat the Eagles could see United drop down into seventh and into the Uefa Conference League.
    United must claim the three points in South London or hope West Ham fail to beat Brighton at the Amex Stadium to secure a place in the Europa League.
    And United could decide to give their youngsters a chance, with Charlie Savage, Shola Shoretire and Alvaro Fernandez all named in their squad.
    The trio were snapped before making their way down to the capital, where they will be looking to impress incoming manager Erik ten Hag should they be given any game time.
    United ‘need a reset’, says Mata
    Mata went on to say United need a “reset” after a tough few seasons, demanding players “meet the standards” required to turn out for the club.
    He said: “Being at Man Utd, this club needs first-class individuals for each department.
    “This club should be top of the class in every department, on pitch or off. That is the only way I see this club competing for the biggest trophies.
    “That’s what I hope for in the near future, otherwise you cannot compete with clubs who are doing very good things with a certain identity and professionalism in the way they make decisions.

    “When you think about Man Utd you think about the best level possible, as far as I understood football growing up.
    “I don’t understand this club without having first-class individuals for each department.”
    Mata continued: “We have made many mistakes… we could have also dealt better with certain situations that were happening in the club, managers changing, negative things.
    “Certain standards were not met. Whether that’s attitude, level of training, off the pitch, which doesn’t include players, we haven’t been good enough.
    “We need a reset in the culture of the club. That’s how I feel.
    Mata could stay in Manchester
    Juan Mata has hinted he could sensationally STAY at Manchester United, writes Dave Fraser.
    The long-serving Spanish playmaker, 34, was widely expected to quit Old Trafford on a free transfer this summer with his contract expiring, despite rumours of retiring or going into coaching.
    But Mata has confirmed he will hold off making any decisions until he has spoken to Ten Hag – who will officially start work on Monday, following United’s final game of the season against Crystal Palace.
    Mata told The Athletic: “I will see when we speak how we feel, what his ideas are…
    “After that a decision will be made.”
    Rangnick admits Ronaldo compromise
    Ralf Rangnick also laments his asking of a 37-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo to be part of a high-pressing side.
    He continued: “I am not blaming Cristiano at all, he did great in games, but he is not a pressing monster.
    “Even when he was young, he wasn’t shouting, “The other team has the ball, where can we win balls?

    ‘It was the same with quite a few other players so we had to make compromises at one stage.
    “We never found the right balance between what do we need with the ball and without the ball.”
    Rangnick shoulders the blame
    Interim Manchester United manager Ralf Rangnick blames himself for the club’s collapse this season, writes Chisanga Malata.
    The German was brought in to steady the ship following Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s departure last November but failed to get the squad to completely buy into his philosophy.
    Rangnick’s failure to adapt his strategy to his squad’s strengths has left United in a final-day battle for the Europa League spot that comes with sixth place.
    And he shoulders the blame for the club losing their last five away matches on the bounce, saying: “We never came near to that aggressive, pro-active football I’d normally want to do.
    “It has to do with physicality if you want to play like that. I should have done better and developed this team in a more sustainable way.”
    Savage and co in the United squad today
    Man Utd are set to give the kids a chance against Crystal Palace as Charlie Savage among youngsters spotted travelling to London.
    Savage, 19, could make his Premier League debut after being named in the travelling squad for their final game of the season, writes Jake Lambourne.
    The Red Devils face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Sunday in a game that will decide what European competition they will be playing next term.
    Failure to beat the Eagles could see United drop down into seventh and into the Uefa Conference League.

    The trio were snapped before making their way down to the capital, where they will be looking to impress incoming manager Erik ten Hag should they be given any game time.
    Luke Shaw could be missing on Sunday
    The Red Devils face the Eagles away at Selhurst Park in their final Premier League game of the season TODAY.
    Luke Shaw is a doubt to feature for Manchester United against Crystal Palace on Sunday following the birth of his second child.
    Congratulations Luke and Anouska!
    Ronaldo to miss Prem finale through injury
    Cristiano Ronaldo has withdrawn from Manchester United’s squad for today’s Prem finale at Crystal Palace with a hip injury.
    The Red Devils need victory to seal sixth place.
    But 24-goal top-scorer Ron, 37, is suddenly sidelined.
    Spurs ‘pave way for Utd on Johnstone’
    Manchester United could be in pole position for West Brom keeper Sam Johnstone as Tottenham reportedly eye Fraser Forster instead.
    Manchester United could be in pole position for West Brom keeper Sam Johnstone as Tottenham reportedly eye Fraser Forster instead.
    Red Devils’ second-choice stopper Dean Henderson could be loaned out, with Bournemouth and Fulham keen.
    And United have been linked with Johnstone long before Erik ten Hag was named as incoming manager.
    Red Devils’ second-choice stopper Dean Henderson could be loaned out, with Bournemouth and Fulham keen.
    Even Legends can’t salvage Utd pride
    United’s Legends were humbled just as much as the mediocre current squad have been this season as Mark Gonzalez hit a stunner in a 3-1 Charity match win for Liverpool’s oldies.
    The former Chile midfielder only spent one season at Anfield in 2006-07 – scoring two Premier League goals.

    But he notched a superb 30-yard free-kick past United sub keeper Kevin Pilkington and a stoppage-time clincher.
    A goalless first half was played in high spirits for good causes,including the Man Utd Foundation, with £1.3million raised as Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher captained the two teams and the likes of Patrice Evra, Jaap Stam and Andriy Voronin took part.
    But Liverpool came flying out of the blocks in the second 45.
    Replacement forward Luis Garcia’s cheeky stepover beat Raimond van der Gouw all ends up and Garcia rounded the keeper to roll in the opener.
    Dimitar Berbatov won a penalty three minutes later to coolly slot in for 1-1.
    But Dirk Kuyt hit the post for Liverpool before Gonzalez struck twice to give them victory.
    Cottagers want Matic talks
    EXCLUSIVE: Fulham want to talk veteran Nemanja Matic into staying in the Prem after he leaves Manchester United, writes ALAN NIXON.
    The Championship winners are keen to bring the ex-Chelsea midfielder back to London.
    Matic, 33, has played a key role at United lately and is still very capable at the top level.
    But he is choosing to move on rather than be part of Erik ten Hag’s revolution.
    Foreign interest in Matic is great but he could get a deal that works for him at Fulham and can slot back into life in London, after two great spells with the Blues.
    Matic revealed he would leave United last month in a lengthy statement on social media.

    Former Red Devils ace Wilfried Zaha sealed Palace’s first ever Prem win at home against the one-time Manchester giants after 37 minutes.
    It is obvious the Dutch tactician has his work cut out ahead of next season at Old Trafford with a transfer haul looking imminent.
    And the former Ajax boss may have to think twice about the following five players, who flopped on their first audition in front of him.
    Here are the FIVE stars that struggled in front of Ten Hag’s watchful eye in South London:

Pogba set to sign for Juventus, United to play Palace in final game
    Bruno Fernandes
    Potuguese has been a huge influence since joining United from Sporting Lisbon in 2020 and he definitely deserves opportunities under Ten Hag.
    But Fernandes will have to do much better than he did at Palace as it was his stray pass that led to the goal and he failed to create dangers in the Eagles’ area.
    Diogo Dalot
    Struggled against Tyrick Mitchell and Zaha down the right flank and carries responsibility for the winner.
    Palace’s goalscorer danced around Dalot before hitting David de Gea’s bottom right corner.
    The full-back produced numerous heavy touches as well as loose passes and picked up a reckless yellow card with a heavy tackle on Conor Gallagher.

the reaction as Man City WIN title, Burnley go down and Spurs land CL spot

    Victor Lindelof
    Centre half also carries responsibility for Zaha’s winner as he left space open and didn’t offer enough back-up for Dalot.
    Lindelof failed to read the game properly and his chances of first-team football under Ten Hag are surely low.
    Scott McTominay
    United’s midfield was dreadful against Crystal Palace and McTominay couldn’t exert any authority against Jeffrey Schlupp as well as Will Hughes in the middle of the park.
    McTominay also wasted a major opportunity at the death with a free header that was so weak it caused no alarm for Palace goalkeeper Vicente Guaita.

    Wilfried Zaha, who couldn’t get a look in at Old Trafford but is so often Palace’s talisman, with the goal.

    Will the kids play? – Line up revealed in two minutes
    Man Utd are set to give the kids a chance against Crystal Palace as Charlie Savage among youngsters spotted travelling to London.
    Savage, 19, could make his Premier League debut after being named in the travelling squad for their final game of the season, writes Jake Lambourne.
    The Red Devils face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Sunday in a game that will decide what European competition they will be playing next term.
    Failure to beat the Eagles could see United drop down into seventh and into the Uefa Conference League.
    United must claim the three points in South London or hope West Ham fail to beat Brighton at the Amex Stadium to secure a place in the Europa League.
    And United could decide to give their youngsters a chance, with Charlie Savage, Shola Shoretire and Alvaro Fernandez all named in their squad.
    The trio were snapped before making their way down to the capital, where they will be looking to impress incoming manager Erik ten Hag should they be given any game time.
    United ‘need a reset’, says Mata
    Mata went on to say United need a “reset” after a tough few seasons, demanding players “meet the standards” required to turn out for the club.
    He said: “Being at Man Utd, this club needs first-class individuals for each department.
    “This club should be top of the class in every department, on pitch or off. That is the only way I see this club competing for the biggest trophies.
    “That’s what I hope for in the near future, otherwise you cannot compete with clubs who are doing very good things with a certain identity and professionalism in the way they make decisions.

    “When you think about Man Utd you think about the best level possible, as far as I understood football growing up.
    “I don’t understand this club without having first-class individuals for each department.”
    Mata continued: “We have made many mistakes… we could have also dealt better with certain situations that were happening in the club, managers changing, negative things.
    “Certain standards were not met. Whether that’s attitude, level of training, off the pitch, which doesn’t include players, we haven’t been good enough.
    “We need a reset in the culture of the club. That’s how I feel.
    Mata could stay in Manchester
    Juan Mata has hinted he could sensationally STAY at Manchester United, writes Dave Fraser.
    The long-serving Spanish playmaker, 34, was widely expected to quit Old Trafford on a free transfer this summer with his contract expiring, despite rumours of retiring or going into coaching.
    But Mata has confirmed he will hold off making any decisions until he has spoken to Ten Hag – who will officially start work on Monday, following United’s final game of the season against Crystal Palace.
    Mata told The Athletic: “I will see when we speak how we feel, what his ideas are…
    “After that a decision will be made.”
    Rangnick admits Ronaldo compromise
    Ralf Rangnick also laments his asking of a 37-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo to be part of a high-pressing side.
    He continued: “I am not blaming Cristiano at all, he did great in games, but he is not a pressing monster.
    “Even when he was young, he wasn’t shouting, “The other team has the ball, where can we win balls?

    ‘It was the same with quite a few other players so we had to make compromises at one stage.
    “We never found the right balance between what do we need with the ball and without the ball.”
    Rangnick shoulders the blame
    Interim Manchester United manager Ralf Rangnick blames himself for the club’s collapse this season, writes Chisanga Malata.
    The German was brought in to steady the ship following Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s departure last November but failed to get the squad to completely buy into his philosophy.
    Rangnick’s failure to adapt his strategy to his squad’s strengths has left United in a final-day battle for the Europa League spot that comes with sixth place.
    And he shoulders the blame for the club losing their last five away matches on the bounce, saying: “We never came near to that aggressive, pro-active football I’d normally want to do.
    “It has to do with physicality if you want to play like that. I should have done better and developed this team in a more sustainable way.”
    Savage and co in the United squad today
    Man Utd are set to give the kids a chance against Crystal Palace as Charlie Savage among youngsters spotted travelling to London.
    Savage, 19, could make his Premier League debut after being named in the travelling squad for their final game of the season, writes Jake Lambourne.
    The Red Devils face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Sunday in a game that will decide what European competition they will be playing next term.
    Failure to beat the Eagles could see United drop down into seventh and into the Uefa Conference League.

    United must claim the three points in South London or hope West Ham fail to beat Brighton at the Amex Stadium to secure a place in the Europa League.
    And United could decide to give their youngsters a chance, with Charlie Savage, Shola Shoretire and Alvaro Fernandez all named in their squad.
    The trio were snapped before making their way down to the capital, where they will be looking to impress incoming manager Erik ten Hag should they be given any game time.
    Luke Shaw could be missing on Sunday
    The Red Devils face the Eagles away at Selhurst Park in their final Premier League game of the season TODAY.
    Luke Shaw is a doubt to feature for Manchester United against Crystal Palace on Sunday following the birth of his second child.
    Congratulations Luke and Anouska!
    Ronaldo to miss Prem finale through injury
    Cristiano Ronaldo has withdrawn from Manchester United’s squad for today’s Prem finale at Crystal Palace with a hip injury.
    The Red Devils need victory to seal sixth place.
    But 24-goal top-scorer Ron, 37, is suddenly sidelined.
    Spurs ‘pave way for Utd on Johnstone’
    Manchester United could be in pole position for West Brom keeper Sam Johnstone as Tottenham reportedly eye Fraser Forster instead.
    Manchester United could be in pole position for West Brom keeper Sam Johnstone as Tottenham reportedly eye Fraser Forster instead.
    Red Devils’ second-choice stopper Dean Henderson could be loaned out, with Bournemouth and Fulham keen.
    And United have been linked with Johnstone long before Erik ten Hag was named as incoming manager.
    Red Devils’ second-choice stopper Dean Henderson could be loaned out, with Bournemouth and Fulham keen.
    Even Legends can’t salvage Utd pride
    United’s Legends were humbled just as much as the mediocre current squad have been this season as Mark Gonzalez hit a stunner in a 3-1 Charity match win for Liverpool’s oldies.
    The former Chile midfielder only spent one season at Anfield in 2006-07 – scoring two Premier League goals.

    But he notched a superb 30-yard free-kick past United sub keeper Kevin Pilkington and a stoppage-time clincher.
    A goalless first half was played in high spirits for good causes,including the Man Utd Foundation, with £1.3million raised as Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher captained the two teams and the likes of Patrice Evra, Jaap Stam and Andriy Voronin took part.
    But Liverpool came flying out of the blocks in the second 45.
    Replacement forward Luis Garcia’s cheeky stepover beat Raimond van der Gouw all ends up and Garcia rounded the keeper to roll in the opener.
    Dimitar Berbatov won a penalty three minutes later to coolly slot in for 1-1.
    But Dirk Kuyt hit the post for Liverpool before Gonzalez struck twice to give them victory.
    Cottagers want Matic talks
    EXCLUSIVE: Fulham want to talk veteran Nemanja Matic into staying in the Prem after he leaves Manchester United, writes ALAN NIXON.
    The Championship winners are keen to bring the ex-Chelsea midfielder back to London.
    Matic, 33, has played a key role at United lately and is still very capable at the top level.
    But he is choosing to move on rather than be part of Erik ten Hag’s revolution.
    Foreign interest in Matic is great but he could get a deal that works for him at Fulham and can slot back into life in London, after two great spells with the Blues.
    Matic revealed he would leave United last month in a lengthy statement on social media.
    Aaron eyes new Utd contract
    EXCLUSIVE: Aaron Wan-Bissaka wants a new deal at United — but has been told to wait on Erik ten Hag’s verdict on his future, writes ALAN NIXON.
    The right-back is out of contract in two years.
    United blocked recent inquiries for him, prompting AWB’s team to ask for a long-term deal instead.
    Crystal Palace have been linked with re-signing their academy star, but Wan-Bissaka is on more than the Eagles usually pay.
    Even a loan return to Selhurst Park would be difficult to sort due to his current wages.
    Incoming boss Ten Hag will pass judgement on the current squad, with United expected to make a number of changes this summer.
    Erik’s caged Devils
    EXCLUSIVE: Erik ten Hag plans to cage in his players as part of his grand plan to rebuild Manchester United, writes PHIL THOMAS.
    The new Old Trafford gaffer has already handed training ground staff details of what he wants when he starts work this summer.

    And that includes prepping a five-a-side pitch for what Ten Hag has labelled “cage work,” when players are put through a confined space-session.
    United’s smaller pitch at their Carrington base is already fenced in and there will be no excuses – or escape – for the likes of Marcus Rashford and Cristiano Ronaldo.
    Ten Hag is believed to also want some of the half-sized pitches redrawn to replicate the ones he used on a daily basis at Ajax.
    A United insider said: “The new manager has already provided a number of technical requests and the staff are working hard to have it ready
    “The astro five-a-side pitch is named the Adidas Predator Zone and the lads use it for fun and games – but Ten Hag has daily plans for it.
    “He wants the players locked in and uncomfortable until they are totally at ease with it. The pitch is caged in and he wants it ready to go.
    “The club is determined to give him everything he needs and it is currently all hands to the pump at Carrington.”
    Morning, United fans
    Crocked Cristiano Ronaldo is out of United’s Prem finale at Crystal Palace.
    Victory would assure the Red Devils of retaining sixth place.
    But 24-goal top-scorer Ron, 37, is sidelined with a hip injury.
    The Old Trafford legend’s fellow Portugal star Diogo Dalot hopes to show incoming boss Erik ten Hag this afternoon there’s no need to buy a new right-back.
    And Aaron Wan-Bissaka wants a new deal beyond 2025 – despite losing his regular place to Dalot’s greater attacking ability.
    Predictably, Wan-Bissaka has been told to wait for Ten Hag’s verdict.
    Midfield anchorman Nemanja Matic has confirmed his upcoming departure from Old Trafford – with Fulham now showing interest.
    The Prem new boys hope to talk to the Serbia ace even though Juventus are frontrunners to sign the 33-year-old ahead of Roma.
    Finally, the Red Devils could be in pole position for West Brom keeper Sam Johnstone as Tottenham reportedly eye Southampton’s Fraser Forster instead.

    Why Man Utd and Man City have a Manchester bee logo on their shirts today

    MANCHESTER UNITED and Man City are playing in their final matches of a thrilling Premier League season today.And you may notice a bee logo on both the Manchester clubs shirts during their matches, against Crystal Palace and Aston Villa.
    Man Utd are wearing the bee on their shirt too
    City are going for the Premier League title, while United are hoping to finish the season on a high.
    United’s new manager Erik ten Hag is in attendance at Selhurst Park to watch the club for the first time.
    BIG FINALE LIVE: Stay up to date with all the Premier League final day action in SunSport’s live blog
    Why are Man Utd and Man City wearing a bee logo on their shirts?
    Today marks five years to the day since the bombing of Manchester Arena at an Ariana Grande concert.
    On that day, 22 people, including children lost their lives.
    The worker bee has been a symbol of Manchester for 150 years and is being placed next to the club’s badge to pay tribute to the victims.
    Why is the bee a symbol for Manchester?
    The worker bee is an emblem for Manchester, symbolising the city’s hard-working past.
    It was a hive of activity during the Industrial Revolution and workers were soon dubbed “busy bees”.
    Seven bees are included in the crest of the city’s arms.
    The insects are also dotted around Manchester’s streets, decorating the clock face of the Palace Hotel and the flooring at Manchester Town Hall. More
