      by

      Rangnick suggested if he was permanent boss he would let the players decide the captain, as he did while managing in his native Germany.
      Incoming gaffer Erik Ten Hag will have a decision to make when he arrives in the summer after Maguire has been subjected to stick for his performances this campaign.
      Maguire was made skipper by Ole Gunnar Solskajer just five months after joining the club in 2019 for £80million.
      And while there is still the prospect of him continuing on in the position, here SunSport take a look at the potential candidates were he to be replaced.

in Utd XI as Werner STARTS for Blues in Premier League clash
      Cristiano Ronaldo
      Ronaldo seems like the obvious candidate given his vast experience – and also being captain of Portugal.
      But he might not be the best option for the long-term, given his Manchester United deal expires at the end of next season.
      Bruno Fernandes
      Playmaker Fernandes is also in with a shout if Maguire is stripped of the captaincy.
      Unlike Ronaldo the 27-year-old is a long-term prospect, having recently penned a new five-year deal with the club.
      Fernandes skippered the side in the absence of Maguire in the 3-1 defeat to Arsenal, and has worn the armband a further five times in the Prem this campaign.

      Both Bruno Fernandes and Cristiano Ronaldo are candidates to be Man Utd skipper if Harry Maguire is axedCredit: Reuters
      David De Gea
      Perhaps the only player whose position is guaranteed in every game, keeper De Gea would offer a calming presence at the back.
      It could also be beneficial to have De Gea as skipper as the Spaniard would be able to command the team with a view of the entire pitch in front of him.

      Raphael Varane
      Varane is a potential candidate, but he has been plagued by injuries in his first season at the club.
      And the prospect of handing the armband from one centre-back to another could potentially cause disruptions.
      Nevertheless the 29-year-old offers experience, having skippered both Real Madrid and France in the past.
      Scott McTominay
      The most left-field of the candidates on this list, but there’s no denying McTominay is a born leader.
      Whether captaining Manchester United at just 25-years-old is too much of a burden is a possibility, but McTominay does have experience with the armband.
      He was stand-in skipper during an FA Cup game against Watford back in January 2021, scoring the only goal of the game during a 1-0 win, proving that being captain didn’t impact his game.

      Victor Osimhen has nothing blocking Man Utd transfer after snubbing 2020 move out of respect for Odion Ighalo

      by

      VICTOR OSIMHEN no longer has Odion Ighalo standing in his way of a move to Manchester United. The Red Devils reportedly launched an £84million bid for the Napoli striker today.

      But it’s not the first time United have been linked with a swoop for the 23-year-old.
      Back in the summer of 2020 Osimhen snubbed a move to Old Trafford because of Nigerian team-mate Ighalo.
      Osimhen instead joined Napoli from Lille out of respect for Ighalo, who spent a year on loan at United between 2020 and 2021.
      Now though with Ighalo gone, there’s nothing standing in the way of Osimhen’s big money move to the Red Devils.

Neves’ agency ‘invites Man Utd bid’, Milinkovic-Savic ‘in talks’
      Osimhen’s brother Andrew revealed in 2020 he turned down a move to the Red Devils as he had “too much respect” for national tem colleague Ighalo.
      Andrew told Complete Sports: “It is very true that Manchester United wanted Victor but he told me something like he had too much respect for Odion Ighalo to be competing for shirts with his senior colleague.
      “My brother holds Ighalo in high esteem and he just didn’t see himself going to Old Trafford to battle for a striking role with the highest goalscorer at the 2019 AFCON in Egypt.”
      Now United have rekindled their interest in the prolific Osimhen, the striker could be tempted by the prospect of a move to Manchester with Ighalo no longer at the club.

      Ruben Neves’ agency ‘invites Man Utd transfer bid’, Milinkovic-Savic ‘in talks’, Rangnick to STAY – latest updates

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED are looking to keep their remote chances of Champions League football alive.But work is already going on off the pitch to get the club ready for the arrival of Erik ten Hag.
      Midfield targets are a particular focus with Paul Pogba set to leave the club this summer.
      According to the Italian press, the Red Devils are in talks with Sergej Milinkovic-Savic’s representatives and seen as frontrunners to sign the Lazio man.
      And Ruben Neves’ representatives are said to be “inviting” the club to make a bid for the Wolves star.
      Kalvin Phillips of Leeds is another reported target, who could make a move across the Pennines for a fee of £50m.
      Meanwhile Ralf Rangnick has confirmed he will continue working with Manchester United in a consultancy role this summer.

      Ex-right-back Johnson on Pogba
      Former Chelsea and Liverpool right-back Glen Johnson has said that Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba doesn’t have “the character to suit either Liverpool or Chelsea.”
      The Frenchman is out of contract this summer and can leave United for free.
      On Pogba, Johnson told GGRecon: “I wouldn’t go for him.
      “He’s a sensational individual and he’s won most of the things you can win in football but I don’t believe he has the character to suit either Liverpool or Chelsea.
      “There’s no way Jurgen Klopp would sign him. No chance.”
      ‘I’m not dead’
      Football super-agent Mino Raiola has been forced to deny claims he has DIED with an angry tweet.
      Italian media wrongly claimed the world’s biggest football agent, 54, had passed away, which was then reported by the world’s press.
      Real Madrid even paid their condolences after the fake reports emerged.
      But the man himself has denied this from his hospital bed.
      Raiola tweeted: “Current health status for the ones wondering: p***d off second time in 4 months they kill me.
      “Seem also able to resuscitate.”
      It is believed Raiola has been suffering with a lung condition, according to German outlet Bild.
      The Italian looks after the likes of Manchester United’s Paul Pogba, Borussia Dortmund star Erling Haaland and the legendary Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

      Could Raiola wreck United plans?
      Manchester United managers have not enjoyed the most positive of relationships with Mino Raiola over the years, and Erik ten Hag could become the latest to have his plans thwarted by the super agent.
      Ten Hag will arrive from Ajax in the summer and hopes to bring young midfielder Ryan Gravenberch with him as he begins his overhaul of the flailing Red Devils.
      However, the 19-year-old Dutch international’s agent is none other than Raiola, who has been meeting with representatives of Bayern Munich over a move for his client to the Bundesliga.
      While frustrating many managers, board members and fans, Raiola has built an impressive reputation for putting his players first, and doing all he can to get them the best deals possible.
      United hit by UEFA fine
      Manchester United have been handed a €10,000 fine following incidents that marred their Champions League home defeat to Atletico Madrid last month.
      Atletico manager Diego Simeone was the target of several missiles thrown from the crowd at the end of a bad-tempered Last 16 tie at Old Trafford.
      The UEFA’s Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body announced that the fine had been handed out for the ‘throwing of objects’ although didn’t reference the Argentine coach directly.
      Welcome Manchester United fans
      Manchester United are facing an injury crisis as they prepare to host Chelsea at Old Trafford this evening.
      Ralf Rangnick revealed that he would be without EIGHT first team players for the Premier League fixture that United must surely win to keep their dwindling hopes of a top-four finish alive.
      Behind-the-scenes, officials have begun working on a number of summer transfer targets – and they include Leeds midfielder Kalvin Phillips.
      The England international has previously indicated that he would never join Manchester United, but the Red Devils are hoping to make the player an offer he can’t refuse.
      And United could splash the cash again when it comes striker Victor Osimhen.
      Rumours in Italy state that an £84million offer is being submitted to Napoli for the free-scoring Nigerian.
      Meanwhile, Rangnick has rubbished reports that he compiled a dossier for the United board labelling his players ‘selfish’ and ‘unprofessional’.
      The interim boss insists that would always protect his players, and his only current concern is helping incoming manager Erik ten Hag to build a squad capable of challenging for titles.

      Kalvin Phillips would be brilliant for Man Utd but the pain it would cause Leeds would make transfer even sweeter

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED’s missing presence of a natural holding midfielder has been hurting the side’s progress on and off the ball. From the lack of technical quality to help the team to play out from the back, to not a single ball winning midfielder available to help through interceptions and tackles. 
      Kalvin Phillips would be influential in the Man Utd midfield, reckons Asif NoratCredit: Getty
      Nemanja Matic is actually the only recognised defensive midfielder that the Red Devils have, however, he does not have the legs and the energy to play on a weekly basis, as Ralf Rangnick currently and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer previously have had to prioritise his game schedule by playing him in the important games.
      On top of that, both coaches have not adopted a possession-based style of play, which would lead the Serbian international to do more defending than ball-playing.
      On the other hand, you have Fred and Scott McTominay, two midfielders who have been regular starters in the midfield pivot but have not shown that they can provide complete control and dominance in the middle of the pitch, as individuals or as a pair.
      Both have shown signs that they can be part of a team that wants to aim for a top-four finish, yet not for titles and trophies, as the club have failed to win a single piece of silverware since Jose Mourinho’s 2016/17 season at Old Trafford.

Red Devils seek much-needed win over Blues at Old Trafford
      If there was one midfield signing that could take United to the next level it would be Leeds United’s Kalvin Phillips, someone who was a pivotal player during the Marcelo Bielsa era and has played an important role in assisting the team to make a return to the Premier League in 2020 after a 16-year absence.
      His rise in the top flight of English football had strongly impressed Gareth Southgate, who had no choice but to select him for the England line-up in the European Championship last summer. 
      The 26-year-old has shown his incredible ability to read the game as a number six, being regarded as one of the best midfielders in the league to break up the opposition’s move by tackling or fouling the player.
      Leeds were completely missing his presence in midfield during his four months on the sidelines due to a hamstring injury, as they lost 11 out of 15 games in all competitions in that period.

      Those defeats haven proven to be costly for the Peacocks, leaving the board with no option but to sack Marcelo Bielsa, as they currently sit in 16th place within the league table, eight points above the relegation zone.
      And with the likes of Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea still yet to face before the season comes to an end, the side will not go into the matches with the mindset of being safe.
      The Red Devils could kill two birds with one stone with the signing of Phillips, having a holding midfielder who can distribute possession and disrupt the opponent’s threat effectively, as well as taking away an important player from rivals Leeds, which will not sit well with the club as Manchester United have done the same in the past by buying Eric Cantona and Rio Ferdinand.

      Transfermarkt values Kalvin Phillips at £45million, though, if Leeds United find themselves in the bottom three and end up being relegated to the Championship, the Red Devils would be able to acquire his services for around £35million.
      This would not be a surprise as he wants to be part of a team that can challenge at the highest level of English football, and Ten Hag will certainly be improving on the midfield department before he begins to focus on the defence and forward area.

      Milinkovic-Savic ‘in Man Utd talks’, Rangnick to STAY, Erik Ten Hag’s ‘De Gea concerns’ revealed – transfer latest

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED are stepping up their search for a replacement for Paul Pogba.And to that end, long-term target Sergej Milinkovic-Savic is reportedly in talks over a move to Old Trafford.
      The Red Devils have been linked with the Lazio man since the days of Jose Mourinho.
      Meanwhile Ralf Rangnick has confirmed he will continue working with Man Utd in a consultancy role once Erik ten Hag takes over.
      And David de Gea could have work to do to prove he is the right man between the sticks for incoming Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag.
      The Dutchman reportedly has concerns about the Spaniard’s ability to fit into his system.
      However, De Gea is set to receive a stay of execution as Ten Hag is said to accept that there are more immediate issues to solve within the United squad.
      Stay up to date with all the latest from Old Trafford in our live blog…
      Red Devils on the move
      It’s match day in Manchester, and there’s as much happening off the pitch as there will be on it come 7.45pm this evening.
      With injury-hit United poised to play Chelsea, Old Trafford officials have been busy identifying transfer targets for a summer squad overhaul.
      Ruben Neves, Kalvin Phillips, Sebastian Haller and Victor Osimhen have all been strongly linked with the club this week, and some bids are already said to be in motion.
      The Red Devils are certainly making moves, and so are we – if you’d like to stay up-to-date with all things Manchester United, then follow us to our new daily blog.
      Fish thrown in at deep end
      Manchester United have called rookie defender Will Fish into the first-team squad.
      The 19-year-old could get his chance under outgoing boss Ralf Rangnick in the Premier League run-in despite floundering in the National League on loan at Stockport.
      Centre-half Harry Maguire could have played his last game of the season after picking up a knee injury, and that has seen Rangnick run the rule over Fish and fellow youngsters Alvaro Fernandez, Shola Shoretire and Hannibal Mejbri in training.
      Fernandez is another who could get his big choice with first-choice left-back Luke Shaw also out injured.
      The teenager made his first-team debut in the final game of last season, coming on in the final moments of a 2-1 away win at Wolves.
      Rangnick rubbishes United dossier rumours
      Manchester United interim boss has shutdown the suggestions that he handed the Old Trafford board a dossier containing criticism of the current squad.
      Speaking ahead of tonight’s game with Chelsea, the German hit back at rumours a report had been created in which he had labelled some players as ‘selfish’ and ‘unprofessional’.
      “This is completely false. It’s completely untrue. The board has never asked me to prepare a dossier, neither for the board nor for Erik [ten Hag],” said Rangnick.
      “I’ve also never said anything criticising the attitude of players, of them being selfish or unprofessional. I will always protect my players.
      “I have never noticed any issues with them not being professional or selfish. In moments like this, the players are also looking for reasons as to why results have not been as good as they should be.
      “I’ve been talking to the board regularly and exchanging impressions of the current situation, but for me, it is important that together with Erik and the scouting department, we can build a new squad with quality and mentality.”
      Eagles could swoop for Aaron
      Aaron Wan-Bissaka could return to Crystal Palace next season with the South Londoners considering a loan move for their former star.
      The right-back moved to Manchester United from Selhurst Park for £45million in 2019, but has struggled at times to live up to the price tag.
      The 24-year-old has made 20 Premier League appearances this season, but has often found himself second-choice behind Diogo Dalot.
      The Athletic suggest that the Eagles are now plotting to bring Wan-Bissaka back to the capital although only on a temporary deal.
      Patrick Vieira currently has two right-backs at his disposal in Joel Ward and Nathaniel Clyne, although both are the wrong side of 30.

      Thursday night’s alright for rivals
      Manchester United and Chelsea once again do battle this evening but will do so for the very first time on a Thursday.
      The rescheduling of this clash means that it will become the 13th different Premier League fixture to have been played on all seven days of the week.
      It’s a novelty for the Blues with United set to become the first club that they have faced on each day.
      The Red Devils, meanwhile, have previously faced Aston Villa, Liverpool and Newcastle on Monday – Sunday.
      United down to bare bones
      Manchester United could be without up to EIGHT first team players for tonight’s Premier League match with Chelsea.
      Interim boss Ralf Rangnick revealed yesterday that Harry Maguire, Jadon Sancho and Aaron Wan-Bissaka had been added to the Red Devils’ ever-growing injury list.
      Sancho is ill with tonsillitis while underfire captain Maguire has picked up a knee issue.
      Wan-Bissaka’s problem is said to be minor, but may still be enough to keep him out this evening.
      United are already without the injured Fred, Paul Pogba, Edinson Cavani and Luke Shaw while Mason Greenwood remains indefinitely suspended from the club.
      It’s a blow for any hopes that the Red Devils had of ending a disappointing season on a high, and further highlights the work that new boss Erik ten Hag has to do.
      Red Devils preparing Kalvin coup
      Manchester United’s audacious bid to land Kalvin Phillips from rivals Leeds United may be on, according to The Athletic.
      Club correspondents report that the Red Devils have begun exploring the possibility of bringing the England midfielder to Old Trafford in a £50million deal.
      As a boyhood Leeds fan, the 26-year-old has previously indicated that he would never do the unthinkable and cross the Pennines to join the Manchester club.
      However, incoming boss Erik ten Hag has supposedly made a defensive midfielder his priority with Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic set to depart.
      Phillips has long been a player of interest for Manchester United, and officials at the club believe that a big-money offer could be enough for the player and Leeds to put aside their grievances.
      Good morning Man Utd fans
      Ralf Rangnick has admitted that a season out of Europe could help new boss Erik Ten Hag’s Manchester United rebuild.
      Rangnick said: “It could be an advantage but that does not mean we will give away any of the remaining four games. For us it’s clear and our obligation.
      “This is our job, my job, the job of the players that we try to get the best possible results and then see at the end of the season in which position we will finish.
      “Now to speak about if that would be an advantage or not does not make sense because if I did that then this would be interpreted again.
      “For me it’s important we get results, that we play as good as we possibly can, because this will also affect the atmosphere and mood for the new season.”
      The German also believes that the captaincy should be put to a player vote.
      Harry Maguire’s leadership has come under fire this season, as has his form on the pitch.
      Wolves are ‘resigned to losing’ star man Ruben Neves.
      The news comes as a boost to both Manchester United and Arsenal, who have expressed an interest in the midfielder.
      According to the Manchester Evening News, Wolves are sounding out potential replacements for the 25-year-old.
      And finally, United will face competition from Borussia Dortmund in pursuit of Sebastien Haller.
      SunSport revealed how incoming Man United boss Erik ten Hag fancies bringing the Ivory Coast striker with him from Ajax in the summer as his first signing.
      Dortmund are braced to lose striker Erling Haaland in the summer with Manchester City a possible destination.
      And Haller is being viewed as a possible replacement for the brilliant Norwegian, albeit a cut-price one.
      Ten Hag set to strengthen
      Incoming boss Erik ten Hag will strengthen his Man Utd squad.
      Here’s what the man who came before him brought in.
      Do you expect Ten Hag to do better?

      Better off without Europe
      Ralf Rangnick admits that a season out of Europe could help new boss Erik Ten Hag’s Manchester United rebuild.
      The Red Devils are now outsiders for a Champions League spot and could even finish outside the Europa places in eighth if Wolves catch them.
      Rangnick said: “It could be an advantage but that does not mean we will give away any of the remaining four games. For us it’s clear and our obligation.
      “This is our job, my job, the job of the players that we try to get the best possible results and then see at the end of the season in which position we will finish.
      “Now to speak about if that would be an advantage or not does not make sense because if I did that then this would be interpreted again.
      “For me it’s important we get results, that we play as good as we possibly can, because this will also affect the atmosphere and mood for the new season.”
      Man Utd captaincy: stars should VOTE
      Ralf Rangnick says Harry Maguire’s captaincy should be put to a player vote.
      Maguire’s leadership has come under fire this season while the Manchester United defender struggled with his form.
      He is set to miss the final four games of the season through a knee injury — meaning either Cristiano Ronaldo or Bruno Fernandes will skipper the team against Chelsea tonight.
      Asked if he would recommend Maguire to incoming boss Erik Ten Hag, Rangnick said: “I understand your question but again it doesn’t make sense because we don’t know what kind of players will be here, what the group will look like.
      “I can only tell you what I have done in the past when I was head coach or manager because in Germany it’s called ‘Mannschaftskapitan’ — the captain of the team.
      “I strongly believe the captain should be elected by the team because he’s called the team manager and we always did that, we always had a board of four or five players.
      “We called it the ‘Spielerrat’ [players’ council] — elected by the players.
      “The player with the highest amount of votes was the team captain at the end. That was how I did it.
      “I know a lot of head coaches don’t do it that way. That’s what I would do if I was still the manager next season but in the end I’m not. This is something that Erik will have to decide.”
      Wolves ‘resigned to losing’ Neves
      Wolves are ‘resigned to losing’ star man Ruben Neves.
      The news comes as a boost to both Manchester United and Arsenal, who have expressed an interest in the midfielder.
      According to the Manchester Evening News, Wolves are sounding out potential replacements for the 25-year-old.
      Any interested club may have to fork out upwards of £50million for Neves.
      Mourinho on Ten Hag
      Jose Mourinho made sure to remind people that Man Utd was his “former club” when asked on incoming manager Erik Ten Hag.
      He said: “You touched on the point – my former club. Not my club.
      “No, I don’t have advice.”
      Man Utd scout uncovered ‘gem’ Vinicius Jr
      Manchester United reportedly discovered ‘gem’ Vinicius Jr in 2014 – but failed to sign him.
      The 21-year-old winger is currently starring for Real Madrid after joining from Flamengo on his 18th birthday in 2018.
      But according to ESPN, it could have been very different with the forward representing that famous red shirt of Manchester.
      Carlos Noval, who was an academy coach at Flamengo, explained: “A foreign scout from Manchester United said: ‘Noval, look at the player you have, he’s a gem!
      “‘I’ve never seen a 14-year-old player do what he does.’
      “That reinforced everything we already had in mind. He was a gem to be polished. Everyone wanted Vinicius.”
      Ferguson reveals what Ten Hag MUST do
      Legendary Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson knows what Erik ten Hag needs to do to restore the club to its former glory.
      The Red Devils have failed to win a trophy for five years, and have not lifted the Premier League since Fergie’s last season in 2013.
      Speaking at Punchestown horse racing festival, Fergie told RTE Racing: “I hope he does well [Ten Hag], because the club needs someone to get in control.”
      The 80-year-old went on to reveal he “hopes” Ten Hag is the right man for the job
      He added: “I hope he does well yeah.”
      Man Utd’s biggest sales
      Cristiano Ronaldo’s £80million transfer to Real Madrid in 2009 is United’s biggest sale to date.

      Man Utd call up Will Fish to first-team
      Manchester United have called rookie defender Will Fish into the first-team squad.
      The 19-year-old could get his chance under outgoing boss Ralf Rangnick in the Premier League run-in despite floundering in the National League.
      Centre-half Harry Maguire could have played his last game of the season after picking up a knee injury.
      That has seen Rangnick run the rule over Fish and fellow youngsters Alvaro Fernandez, Shola Shoretire and Hannibal Mejbri in training.
      And Fernandez is another who could get his big choice with first-choice left-back Luke Shaw also out injured.
      It could turn around a pretty dismal season for Fish.
      The teenager made his first-team debut in the final game of last season, playing a 2-1 win away at Wolves.
      He was shipped out on loan to National League side Stockport at the start of this season, but only featured in two games and 84 minutes before returning to Old Trafford.
      Ball-carrying midfielder
      Declan Rice is the leader in progressive yards carried outside of England’s “big six”.
      The England midfielder has carried the ball over 6,000 yards.
      Newcastle’s Allan Saint-Maximin is behind on 4,663.
      If the “Big Six” were included, Rice would be behind Aymeric Laporte, Ruben Dias and Joel Matip.
      Rice is a summer transfer target for both Chelsea and Man Utd.

      Exclusive: Seb Haller transfer fight
      Manchester United face competition from Borussia Dortmund in pursuit of Sebastien Haller.
      SunSport revealed how incoming Man United boss Erik ten Hag fancies bringing the Ivory Coast striker with him from Ajax in the summer as his first signing.
      Former West Ham man Haller has scored 33 goals in 39 games in the Dutch top flight this season to see his stock rise once more after a failed spell in the Premier League.
      He was the Hammers’ record signing at £40million but lasted less than two years, in which he netted just ten times and did not fit in under boss David Moyes.
      But he has been rejuvenated in Holland and is being sought after once more.
      Dortmund are braced to lose striker Erling Haaland in the summer with Manchester City a possible destination.
      And Haller is being viewed as a possible replacement for the brilliant Norwegian, albeit a cut-price one.

      Next five games
      Chelsea is up next for Man Utd.

      Strike a deal
      Man Utd could go back in for Paulo Dybala this summer when his contract with Juventus expires.
      The Argentine striker is sure to be chased by a whole host of Europe’s top clubs so United will have to act fast.
      Reports in Italy claim that Old Trafford could be a likely destination for 28-year-old Dybala.
      Gazetta dello Sport states that the arrival of Erik ten Hag as new United manager has led to some early “timid interest”.
      And Corriere dello Sport follows that same line, reporting that Ten Hag coming in as the new manager could accelerate the transfer.
      The Dutch boss could be the driving force to get the deal over the line.
      Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester City could all rival United in the chase for the 32-cap Argentina international.

      ‘There’s a player power problem’ – Enrique
      Former Liverpool defender Jose Enrique has said that some players at Man Utd have too much power.
      When speaking to LordPing, he said: “At some clubs, players have had more power than managers – it’s happening at United – and this has never happened before.
      “Look at Solskjaer last year, Man United finished second and this year they signed players that he didn’t want and didn’t like the style and didn’t trust him and then you sign a temporary manager for a club like United, what is this, is it a joke?
      “I think they should trust managers more. If I was a sporting director and I really liked a manager, I’d put my trust in him.
      “Now in football, they sack managers a lot and that’s why Everton and Manchester United are in difficult situations.”
      Man Utd keen to sign Kalvin Phillips
      Man Utd are pursuing Kalvin Phillips after scouting the Leeds midfielder for three years, according to reports.
      Old Trafford bosses have drawn up a shortlist of wanted men with Phillips, 26, at the top.
      The Athletic claim that Man Utd have started “exploring the prospect” of a £50 million transfer.
      Phillips began to shine under Marcelo Bielsa when Leeds were in the Championship.
      He starred during promotion to the Premier League and earnt an England call-up before Euro 2020.
      And he has been admired by United assistant manager Mike Phelan since watching the midfielder dominate a Carabao Cup game against Salford City back in 2019.
      The Red Devils have made the international a top target with Ralf Rangnick, who will move up into a consultancy role in June.

      ‘Looney Tunes defending’
      Man Utd stars Jadon Sancho and Alex Telles were brutally mocked for trying to mark Arsenal ace Eddie Nketiah.
      The United pair tried in vain to block Nketiah in Arsenal’s 3-1 over Manchester United on Saturday.
      The hapless duo attempted to sandwich the Arsenal striker during the Premier League clash.
      Sancho inched in from the left, and Telles encroached on Nketiah from the right.
      But when the sharp Nketiah realised what was going on – he simply side-stepped the United stars’ trap.
      Sancho and Telles were left looking bemused as the 22-year-old left them in his dust.

      How Man Utd could line up against Chelsea
      Alternatively, Rangnick admitted in his press conference ahead of the Chelsea clash that he could put his trust in academy stars.
      When quizzed on the prospect of including youngsters, Rangnick said: “Well, it’s possible. We have quite a few players missing tomorrow and one or two still with question marks so we will have to wait and see until tomorrow to see if, for example, Aaron Wan-Bissaka can play.
      “I already played Hannibal at Liverpool so it’s possible [I’ll play youngsters] but we also have to be fair enough to those players.
      “It has to be the right moment, they should have a chance to play well and perform well so it’s not just pushing them into a game. I think it should also be the right moment.”

      Man Utd ‘launch £84m Victor Osimhen transfer bid as they look to beat Arsenal and Newcastle to Napoli striker’

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED are leading the race to sign Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, according to reports.The 23-year-old has had a productive season with 16 goals in 28 appearances.
      Manchester United are leading the race to sign Victor OsimhenCredit: Getty
      That has sparked interest in Osimhen from several clubs in the Premier League with United tabling an £84million bid, report La Repubblica.
      The offer puts the Red Devils in a commanding position in the race to sign the Nigerian as it matches Napoli’s asking price – which no other club has managed.
      Arsenal and Newcastle are interested in Osimhen and both have prioritised signing a striker in the summer, with Toon missing out on Benfica’s Darwin Nunez in January.
      United also want to sign Nunez and Erik ten Hag is keen to add a striker to his squad with Edinson Cavani set to leave.

      There is also much debate about the future of Cristiano Ronaldo with reports suggesting he could leave because he does not fit Ten Hag’s style.
      The Dutchman may be keen to bring in a new forward to lead the line and Osimhen could fit the bill.
      Osimhen is reportedly tempted to move to Old Trafford and it is believed his agent Roberto Calenda had a “secret meeting” with Napoli chairman Aurelio De Laurentiis on Wednesday.
      Napoli could agree to cash in on Osimhen despite spending £76m on the forward in 2020, when he joined from Lille.

      Should Napoli refuse to sell Osimhen United could switch their focus to Ajax star Sebastien Haller, who has scored 46 goals in 62 games under Ten Hag.
      Reims 19-year-old Hugo Ekitike is also believed to be on the club’s radar with transfer chief Matt Judge keen on signing a young striker.
      United are also reportedly looking at Juventus star Paulo Dybala as another option to bolster their attack. More

      Crystal Palace ‘consider transfer for Man Utd defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka as they look to bring back ex-star on loan’

      by

      CRYSTAL PALACE are considering a transfer swoop to bring back Aaron Wan-Bissaka on loan, according to reports.Manchester United signed the right-back for £50million in 2019.

      But with Erik ten Hag yet to assess his new squad fully, the Eagles may try and land their former ace in a temporary switch.
      As reported by The Athletic, a deal is still a long way off because Palace have not made an official approach.
      And it is unclear whether the Red Devils would allow the England Under-21 international to leave.
      Wan-Bissaka came through the Crystal Palace academy, joining the club aged 11 and progressing into a first-team star.

‘in Man Utd talks’, Rangnick to STAY
      His big-money move to Old Trafford made him the most expensive English transfer for a player with no senior Three Lions caps – and the defender is still yet to get on the pitch under Gareth Southgate.
      Wan-Bissaka was the first-choice right-back under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
      But since Ralf Rangnick took over, Diogo Dalot has been getting plenty of game time with the full-backs rotated.
      Ironically, United have lost four of Wan-Bissaka’s last six Premier League games and conceded 12 goals.

      Palace are keen to bolster at right-back this summer.
      Nathan Ferguson has endured a torrid time with recovery from his injury in July 2020 and has played just eight senior minutes in 27 months.
      Joel Ward and Nathaniel Clyne have done well when used by Patrick Vieira.
      But the Eagles would ideally want someone to match the quality of Tyrick Mitchell on the other side.
      And Wan-Bissaka would no doubt be a popular signing if the Croydon-born defender returns back to South London from United – just as Wilfried Zaha did.
