And Telles is still considered a club icon after four fabulous seasons in the Primeira Liga.
He netted 26 times in 195 games, winning two titles while also breaking into Brazil’s national side.

The ex-Galatasaray and Inter Milan defender has endured two disappointing terms in England, scoring just once in 49 games.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka is already expected to depart, while doubts remain over the futures of Diogo Dalot and Brandon Williams.
United have already been linked with several left-backs, including Valencia’s Jose Gaya and Stuttgart’s Borna Sosa.
But Ten Hag could look closer to home should he decide a change is needed.

Barcelona are seemingly keen to sell the midfield maestro to help fund a summer overhaul of their squad while working within a tight budget due to financial restrictions imposed by LaLiga.
De Jong has attracted the interest of a host of European giants.
But it’s believed the 40-cap Holland international is keen on a move to United thanks to his relationship with Ten Hag.
The pair won the Eredivisie-KNVB Cup double in 2018-19 while also reaching the Champions League semis in the same season, just minutes away from facing Liverpool but for Tottenham’s heroic comeback.

And De Jong has all-but confirmed his Barcelona exit.
According to Gerard Romero, De Jong handed out five pairs of football boots and three Barcelona shirts to loyal fans as a way of saying thank you for their support over the years.
It’s also claimed the midfielder “wanted to say goodbye” to the supporters who would visit the training ground “every day”.
Various reports in Spain have claimed Barcelona are open to all offers for De Jong.

Ten Hag is keen to rekindle his relationship with the midfielder after thriving together at Ajax.
De Jong would ideally prefer to move to a club who will be playing in the Champions League next season – with Man Utd unable to offer that perk.
But Ten Hag is hopeful their relationship from days working together at Ajax could help persuade him to move to Manchester.
The new boss wants to sign at least one central midfielder with Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic to leave United this summer, with others likely to follow.
The only stumbling block for now appears to be the transfer fee.
Cash-strapped Barca are keen to recoup the £65.3million they paid for De Jong when he joined them in the summer of 2019.

So Ten Hag’s biggest hurdle will be to negotiate a lower fee if he is to land his man. More

Juan Mata set for stunning transfer U-turn ahead of talks with Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag but admits club ‘needs reset’
by Philippa Kaur 22 May 2022, 11:39
JUAN MATA has hinted he could sensationally STAY at Manchester United – but admits the club “needs a reset” under incoming boss Erik Ten Hag.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.”
The Spaniard was widely expected to leave United last summer, but took a massive pay-cut in signing a one-year contract extension.

Mata explained: “I love the club. I hoped I could give much more on the pitch than I ended up doing.
“My last season was horrible for me, for many reasons, especially because of the passing of my mum.
“It wasn’t an easy season at all with the pandemic and that personal tragedy.
“I didn’t want to end my career at Man Utd that way, without fans in the stadium, with all that I have lived over the last months.

“When we made the signings we made I genuinely felt, ‘We are gonna really compete to win the Premier League now’.
“That’s why I renewed, I wanted to be part of that.
“One of the things I always say: winning a massive trophy with Man Utd would be an incredible feeling after being here for so many years, knowing the fans and everyone working in the club like I do.”
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.

Wan-Bissaka Man Utd future EXCLUSIVE, Jonathan David transfer latest, Pogba ‘agrees Juventus deal’ – latest updates
by Philippa Kaur 21 May 2022, 22:18
AARON WAN-BISSAKA wants a new contract at Manchester United — but has been told to wait on new Erik ten Hag’s verdict on his future, SunSport can exclusively reveal.United blocked recent inquiries for him, prompting AWB’s team to ask for a long-term deal instead.
Meanwhile, Paul Pogba has reportedly agreed a deal to return to Juventus, according to reports in Italy.
The Frenchman will leave United again on a free and walk back to Turin where he will pocket £6.75m-a-season plus bonuses.
And Manchester United are reportedly set to do battle with Arsenal for Lille forward Jonathan David.
According to CBS, incoming new manager Ten Hag – who will be in attendance for United’s game at Crystal Palace this weekend – wants to sign the Canada international to bolster his attack.
Lille are said to want around £42million for the striker.

Stay up to date with all the latest Old Trafford news in our live blog…
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.”
Butt and Scholes will Salf it out
EXCLUSIVE: Nicky Butt and Paul Scholes will take a more hands-on role in running the team and training at Salford City.
The ex-Manchester United pair are club owners – along with fellow Class of 92 stars Gary Neville, Phil Neville, Ryan Giggs and David Beckham – and will work closely with new boss Neil Wood.
Butt, 47, left his coaching job at United last year and Scholes, also 47, was manager at Oldham in 2019.
Now they will move from the boardroom to help Wood, 39, on a regular basis.
As SunSport revealed earlier this week, Wood became the shock choice for the job at the Peninsula Stadium, before he was announced on Friday.
Wood, who replaced Gary Bowyer, is another former United academy graduate – although he never made a senior appearance for the Red Devils.
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.
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.
Evra calls out absent Utd legends
Ex-United left-back Patrice Evra appeared to lash out at fellow club heroes who missed the 3-1 Legends’ charity match defeat to Liverpool at Old Trafford.
United greats such as Gary Neville, Jaap Stam and Dimitar Berbatov laced their boots one more time to take on former Reds rivals including Jamie Carragher, Dirk Kuyt and Jerzy Dudek.
Ex-France left-back Evra – who played with Three Lions icons including Wayne Rooney, Paul Scholes and Rio Ferdinand – was also unhappy with the lack of heroes who are based in England as he himself had to fly from Dubai.
The former left-back told MUTV: “I’m sorry for the fans. I know it’s a charity game, but there is a rivalry between the two clubs. There is no friendly match.
“Where are the English players? I live in Dubai. I came from there. When Man Utd call, you answer.
“I think more legends should be here today. When United calls you, you have to be there.”
Chelsea ‘obvious match for Pogba’
Paul Pogba has been rated Chelsea’s perfect signing.
The Manchester United midfielder, 29, is tipped for a summer free transfer to old club Juventus or PSG, with Real Madrid now outsiders.
But ex-Red Devils striker Louis Saha believes Pogba would form a natural partnership with a more defensive France team-mate at Stamford Bridge.
Fellow Frenchman Saha told Lord Ping: “Chelsea is the obvious match for Pogba because he loves to play with N’Golo Kante.
“We always try to compare what he does with France and United and the ability of Kante makes Pogba play to another dimension.
“Only Pogba can indicate where he wants to go, I’m just sad he hasn’t fulfilled his dream.”
Pogba has reportedly rejected joining United’s neighbours City.
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.
Juve fans ecstatic at ‘Pogba agreeing return’
Paul Pogba sent Juventus fans into meltdown with his latest Instagram post – after reportedly agreeing to return to Turin.
He got Old Lady supporters excited by uploading a picture of him posing on a waterfront on his social media.
Pogba, wearing a yellow tracksuit with “Guinea” on the back and a red cap, faced away from the camera overlooking the greenery, water and hills beyond.
It is unclear exactly where the photo was taken – but fans flooded the replies with comments of “Pogback” as they prepare for his return to Juventus.
One said: “See you at the stadium Paul.”
Another wrote: “Welcome back.”
And a third added: “We are waiting for you at home.”
The Manchester United midfielder, 29, is out of contract at Old Trafford this summer.
And he looks set to leave as a free agent with no extension agreed.
A controversial move across town to Manchester City fell through and PSG were also keen.
Barca say it will be tough to sign Lewandowski
Barcelona are in talks to sign Robert Lewandowski but say it will be difficult to land the Bayern Munich legend.
Poland striker Lewandowski has hinted in recent weeks he fancies a new challenge.
And Barca were immediately rated favourites to sign the 33-year-old.
Manchester United and Chelsea have previously been linked tentatively with arguably Europe’s most proven out-and-out frontman of the past decade.
Ronaldo to miss Prem finale through injury
Cristiano Ronaldo has withdrawn from Manchester United’s squad for tomorrow’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.
Red Devils in queue for David
Manchester United and Arsenal are reportedly being joined by Chelsea and Newcastle in eyeing Lille striker Jonathan David.
West Ham and Aston Villa are also said to be keen on the Canadian speedster.
Incoming Old Trafford chief Erik ten Hag has added the 22-year-old to his shortlist of potential new frontmen this summer.
Shaw welcomes a child
The Red Devils face the Eagles away at Selhurst Park in their final Premier League game of the season.
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!
Pogba post sending Juve fans crazy
Paul Pogba sent Juventus fans into meltdown with his latest Instagram post – after reportedly agreeing a transfer return.
He got Old Lady supporters excited by uploading a picture of him posing on a waterfront on his social media.
Pogba, wearing a yellow tracksuit labelled “Guinea” and a red cap, faced away from the camera overlooking the greenery, water and hills beyond.
Fans flooded the replies with comments of “Pogback” as they prepare for his return to Juventus.
One said: “See you at the stadium Paul.”
Another wrote: “Welcome back.”
Breaking – Ronaldo will miss final game of season
Cristiano Ronaldo will miss Manchester United’s final game of the season through injury.
The Portugal international has been United’s most prolific performer this season – despite recently turning 37.
But the club legend will miss the Red Devils’ final match of the season away at Crystal Palace.
That’s according to The Athletic, who claim a hip flexor problem has ruled the Portuguese out of Sunday’s match at Selhurst Park.
Manchester United Legends vs Liverpool Legends
Gary Neville leads out Manchester United Legends against Liverpool Legends TODAY.
The star-studded match takes place at Old Trafford and all proceeds go to the Manchester United Foundation.
United’s captain marvel, Bryan Robson, will manage the Red Devils for the clash.
Robson said: “It’s always exciting playing against Liverpool; even in legends games that rivalry is still there.
“But, it is also about raising money for Manchester United Foundation, which really helps to encourage and educate young people in communities across Greater Manchester.”
The match kicks off at 3pm. Follow SunSport’s live blog for updates.
Pogba to Juve done, say reports
Man Utd midfielder Paul Pogba has reportedly agreed to return to Juventus having taken a huge pay cut.
The 29-year-old is available on a free transfer with his contract at Old Trafford to expire at the end of the season.
La Gazetta dello Sport report that the last doubts are “resolved” and Paul Pogba is heading back to Juventus.
A three-year contract is “ready” for Pogba to sign but the midfielder has “decided”.
It is worth of around £120k-a-week, plus bonuses.
De Jong wants Champions League
Manchester United transfer target Frenkie de Jong wants Champions League football next season – throwing his move to Old Trafford in doubt even further.
A transfer could now be in doubt as the Barcelona star is desperate to play for a team in the Champions League, not just the Premier League.
Journalist Fabrizio Romano said: “I’m sure he wants to play Champions League football, so it’s not going to be easy.”
With Man Utd seemingly heading to the Europa League, if results go their way on Sunday, the player could go elsewhere.
Xavi praises De Jong
Barcelona boss Xavi has praised Frenkie de Jong ahead of a potential block to the Man Utd transfer.
New Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag is rumoured to be keen on bringing the midfielder to the club, having worked with him at Ajax.
But Xavi says: “For me, Frenkie is a great player, he’s a beast – I like him and I think he can be part of an important era of the club.
“We will see the economic situation of the club… but I like de Jong”.
Ring in the changes at United
Ralf Rangnick has told Manchester United to go for glory in the Europa League and guarantee themselves a place in the prestigious Champions League again.
Rangnick said: “It is a big difference if a club like United plays in the Europa League rather than the Europa Conference League.
“Frankfurt finished in the lower half of Bundesliga but won the Europa League and qualified for the Champions League – this should be an incentive.”
German Rangnick, who officially hands over the reins of power to Ten Hag on Monday, added: “I still strongly believe there is a core of players who are top, and good enough to play for the club.
“And hopefully most of them will still be here.
“If the board and Erik bring in players with the right mentality, I am positive that we will be able to put this club back not just on the right track but to the top.
“Maybe it will not happen in one transfer window but I am positive in the next two or three.”
Pogba at Juventus : part two
Paul Pogba has reportedly agreed to return to Juventus having taken a huge pay cut.
The French playmaker spent four years at the Italian club before a world-record £109m move to Old Trafford.
He made 178 appearances for the Turin team, scoring 34 goals and providing 40 assists.
Juventus won FOUR consecutive Serie A titles with Pogba at the club.

Manchester United to blow sixth?
Chris Sutton and Micah Richards spoke with the Daily Mail in preparation for tomorrow’s Premier League finale.
Both agreed that Ralf Rangnick’s team could slip up.
Sutton said: “Manchester United deserve the Europa Conference League after this sorry season”.
And former Man City defender Richards thinks “West Ham win at Brighton but I don’t think Manchester United beat Crystal Palace”.
If that happens, West Ham finish sixth for Europa League, and the Red Devils would be in the Europa Conference League next season.
Sutton added that “most people around the country would say West Ham deserve sixth more than United”.
Team news for tomorrow
Some stars are set to miss their Ten Hag audition through injury or illness.
Up and coming youngster Alejandro Garnacho won’t play a part this weekend.
Interim boss Ralf Rangnick confirmed: “Unfortunately Alejandro was ill in the last couple of days.
“Today his first back, he might be back but not sure if he is physically fit to play.”
Luke Shaw is also a doubt, with the left-back’s wife giving birth to their second child on Friday.
Jadon Sancho and Phil Jones will also miss out.
Pogba to Juve done, say reports
Man Utd midfielder Paul Pogba has reportedly agreed to return to Juventus having taken a huge pay cut.
The 29-year-old is available on a free transfer with his contract at Old Trafford to expire at the end of the season.
La Gazetta dello Sport report that the last doubts are “resolved” and Paul Pogba is heading back to Juventus.
A three-year contract is “ready” for Pogba to sign but the midfielder has “decided”.
It is worth of around £120k-a-week, plus bonuses.
United vs Palace on Sunday
United’s under-achievers will be handed their first chance to impress incoming boss Erik ten Hag at Crystal Palace on Sunday.
The Dutchman will be at Selhurst Park for the final day of the Premier League season.
United are currently in pole position to secure the final Europa League place, leading West Ham by two points.
But should Palace hold United to a draw or beat them and West Ham win at Brighton, the Red Devils will contest the Europa Conference League next term.

The Manchester United midfielder, 29, is out of contract at Old Trafford this summer.

But now Juventus are in pole position to sign Pogba back for nothing, six years after selling him for £89million.
Gazzetta state that Pogba will earn £8.5million-a-year, or £163,000 per week, in Turin after bonuses.
That is a whopping pay cut from his current £290,000-a-week deal with the Red Devils.

Journalist Fabrizio Romano said: “I’m sure he wants to play Champions League football, so it’s not going to be easy.”
De Jong could leave Barca this summer as Xavi looks to rebuild the side and cope with financial difficulties.
The Catalan giants’ sporting director Mateu Alemany previously said: “We have not made any decision regarding the squad.

“Frenkie is a quality player, he’s very important and we will go from situation to situation.
“We are conditioned by financial fair play, conditioned by the situation inherited by the club.”
With Man Utd seemingly heading to the Europa League, if results go their way on Sunday, the player could go elsewhere.
One of the other clubs interested in the 25-year-old is United’s rivals Man City.

Manchester City were believed to have been keen to snap up the 2018 World Cup winner, but Pogba feared a fan backlash from the United faithful.

The Frenchman has taken a whopping pay cut in order to link up with Juve again.
Pogba currently earns £290,000-a-week at United, but he will now be pocketing £163k-per-week in Italy.

How United might line up at Palace
United’s under-achievers will be handed their first chance to impress incoming boss Erik ten Hag at Crystal Palace on Sunday.
The Dutchman will be at Selhurst Park for the final day of the Premier League season.
United are currently in pole position to secure the final Europa League place, leading West Ham by two points.
But should Palace hold United to a draw or beat them and West Ham win at Brighton, the Red Devils will contest the Europa Conference League next term.
However, some stars are set to miss their Ten Hag audition through injury or illness.
Up and coming youngster Alejandro Garnacho won’t play a part this weekend.
Interim boss Ralf Rangnick confirmed: “Unfortunately Alejandro was ill in the last couple of days.
“Today his first back, he might be back but not sure if he is physically fit to play.”
Luke Shaw is also a doubt, with the left-back’s wife giving birth to their second child on Friday.
Jadon Sancho and Phil Jones will also miss out.
Red Devils linked to David
Manchester United and Arsenal are being linked to West Ham and Aston Villa ‘target’ Jonathan David.
Lille’s Canada striker has attracted Prem interest for at least a year.
And Erik ten Hag has added the 22-year-old to his shortlist of potential new frontmen this summer.
Dybala to snub Prem giants
Soon-to-be free agent Paulo Dybala has reportedly ruled out a move to England as he closes in on a transfer to Inter Milan, writes Joshua Mbu.
Dybala is set to depart Juventus after spending seven years of his club career there.
The Argentine is attracting interest from a host of Europe’s top clubs, with the likes of Inter Milan, Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and Roma all interested.
Manchester United and Tottenham, who have both been long-term admirers of the forward are also keen on exploring a possible deal.
Chelsea & Toon also linked to David
Manchester United and Arsenal are reportedly being joined by Chelsea and Newcastle in eyeing Lille striker Jonathan David.
West Ham and Aston Villa are also said to be keen on the Canadian speedster.
Incoming Old Trafford chief Erik ten Hag has added the 22-year-old to his shortlist of potential new frontmen this summer.
Chelsea and Utd in ‘Koulibaly boost’
Napoli’s determination to keep Chelsea and Manchester United target Kalidou Koulibaly has reportedly weakened.
The Senegal star, 30, is likely to be one of the summer’s most-sought after centre-backs.
Chelsea need reinforcements as Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen are set to leave for free, with Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso other possible departures in defence.
And incoming United boss Erik ten Hag will be handed a long-term problem to resolve – finding the right partnership at centre-back.
Ajax pair Jurrien Timber and Lisandro Martinez have both ben mentioned recently.
It all means Koulibaly, whose Napoli contract expires in 2023, is likely to be a major Prem target in the next close season.
Mellor exits Old Trafford
Manchester United Under-23s striker D’Mani Mellor is leaving the club this summer.
He said on Instagram: “The end of my first chapter in football. Making a debut for Man Utd is something that only a small number of people have the honour to say that they have achieved.
“I’ve been extremely fortunate to represent this club for over 10 years. There are so many people that I have to thank for their support along the way. Many have become my closest friends throughout my time here.
“I’ll always be connected with this amazing club.
“Now, a new chapter starts. I’m ready for that next step and I’m excited to show everyone what I can do.”
Dest ‘offered to Chelsea’
Barcelona right-back Sergino Dest has reportedly been offered to Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham.
The USA and former Ajax star, 21, has played 31 games for Barca this season without becoming first-choice
And 90 min say the Spanish giants have alerted Prem clubs that he might be available.

Bye now, Depay later
Speculation is growing that Arsenal could move in for Barcelona’s Memphis Depay.
It’s suggested the ex-Manchester United speedster striker could be available for ‘just £25million.
And now it’s claimed the Gunners will be encouraged to bid tor the Holland speedster, 28.
Henderson urged to join Toon
Dean Henderson has been urged to join Newcastle and prove he’s world class.
Former Manchester United defender Paul Parker believes Manchester United’s second-choice keeper is driven by ‘ego’.
Ex-England star Parker told indiabetting.co.in said of the Toon target: “Give him the opportunity.
“You can prove it at Newcastle with the pressure on him from their fans. If he’s got an opportunity to play regular football, he’s gonna want it.”
“He’s not gonna be sitting down, his ego is not allowing him.
“Dean Henderson going there will put himself at the forefront and people will really see how good he is.”
Mangala rated back-up option for De Jong
Stuttgart’s Orel Mangala is rated a £13million back-up target if United miss out on Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong.
Mangala’s agent Mehmet Eser, has reportedly confirmed the Red Devils’ interest in the Belgium star, 24,
United have long sought a world-class anchorman.
And Erik ten Hag’s hopes of reuniting with former Ajax hero De Jong have been dented by a Barca’s asking price of around £65m.
United and Arsenal in for David
Manchester United and Arsenal are being linked to West Ham and Aston Villa ‘target’ Jonathan David.
Lille’s Canada striker has attracted Prem interest for at least a year.
And it’s Erik ten Hag has added the 22-year-old to his shortlist of potential new frontmen this summer.
Brandon heading back from Norwich
Relegated Norwich are offloading eight out-of-contract players plus their four loanees – including Chelsea midfielder Billy Gilmour and Manchester United full-back Brandon Williams.
German midfield star Lukas Rapp helped the Canaries to promotion in 2020-21 but departs along with Josip Drmić, Josh Giurgi, Aston Oxborough, Nelson Khumbeni, Reece McAlear, Solomon Alidor-Hamilton and Olatunde Okeowo.
Scotland ace Gilmour, former England Under-21 defender Williams, Schalke’s Ozan Kabak and Mathias Normann from Russian side Rostov will return to their parent clubs after Saturday’s Prem finale at home to Spurs.
Utd linked to Raphinha swoop
Manchester United could move for Leeds winger Raphinha.
It’s understood third-bottom Leeds could lose FIVE stars if they go down.
Liverpool and especially West Ham have also been linked with seven cap Brazilian Raphinha.
And the 25-year-old is admired by incoming Old Trafford chief Erik ten Hag.
How Red Devils might line up at Palace
United’s under-achievers will be handed their first chance to impress incoming boss Erik ten Hag at Crystal Palace on Sunday.
The Dutchman will be at Selhurst Park for the final day of the Premier League season.
United are currently in pole position to secure the final Europa League place, leading West Ham by two points.
But should Palace hold United to a draw or beat them and West Ham win at Brighton, the Red Devils will contest the Europa Conference League next term.
However, some stars are set to miss their Ten Hag audition through injury or illness.
Up and coming youngster Alejandro Garnacho won’t play a part this weekend.
Interim boss Ralf Rangnick confirmed: “Unfortunately Alejandro was ill in the last couple of days.
“Today his first back, he might be back but not sure if he is physically fit to play.”
Luke Shaw is also a doubt, with the left-back’s wife giving birth to their second child on Friday.
Jadon Sancho and Phil Jones will also miss out.
Ralf: ten Hag must fix Utd spirit
Ralf Rangnick will hand over Old Trafford control to incoming boss Erik ten Hag with the warning: Fix the club’s spirit.
United will finish only sixth or seventh in the Prem after another inconsistent season, blighted by defensive failings and question marks over their unity.
And damningly, interim chief Rangnick believes the biggest problem could be the morale of the whole squad.
Ten Hag is expected to undertake a huge shake-up on and perhaps off the field when he arrives from Ajax over the summer.
No more D’Mani Utd
Manchester United Under-23s striker D’Mani Mellor is leaving the club this summer.
He said on Instagram: “The end of my first chapter in football. Making a debut for Man Utd is something that only a small number of people have the honour to say that they have achieved.
“I’ve been extremely fortunate to represent this club for over 10 years. There are so many people that I have to thank for their support along the way. Many have become my closest friends throughout my time here.
“I’ll always be connected with this amazing club.
“Now, a new chapter starts. I’m ready for that next step and I’m excited to show everyone what I can do.”
Pogba made City U-turn
Paul Pogba agreed a controversial transfer to local rivals Manchester City but made a dramatic U-turn amid fears of fan backlash, according to reports.
Pogba had even agreed personal terms with City ahead of a potential move, according to The Times.
But the Frenchman is said to have then turned down a move across town from Old Trafford to the Etihad.
Pogba is claimed to have been concerned by the potential backlash he would inevitably have faced from the United faithful.
The Times go on to report Pogba reckoned life in Manchester would have become “unbearable” if he made the high-profile switch to United’s bitter rivals.
Ten Hag told not to be Rash
Erik Ten Hag is being urged to keep faith with out-of-form Marcus Rashford, writes Neil Custis.
The new Manchester United boss needs convincing that the misfiring 24-year-old forward should be part of his plans next season.
Ten Hag, who was pictured with agent Kees Vos leaving the club’s London HQ last night, has been discussing recruitment plans and wants a new striker to complement Cristiano Ronaldo.
But staff at the club are convinced that Rashford still has a bright future, despite his disappointing season.
Interim manager Ralf Rangnick has been at pains to emphasise how good Rashford is in training — but remains at a loss as to why he cannot transfer that form to match days.
This season has seen his worst scoring return since breaking into the first team back in 2015-16.
United staff hope Dutchman Ten Hag can get him firing again and want the ex-Ajax boss to give him a shot.
Jose’s United jibe
Jose Mourinho was axed by the Red Devils in December 2018 after overseeing what was at the time their worst start to a league season in 28 years.
Mourinho, 59, has failed to guide his new side into Italy’s top four, but will take part in the inaugural Europa Conference League final.
Ahead of Europe’s third-tier competition’s showpiece event against Feyenoord in Tirana, Mourinho has been discussing the fortunes of some of the continent’s older managers, including Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti.
He couldn’t resist taking a dig at United and Spurs, hinting that they are clubs that no longer expect their managers to win trophies.
Mourinho said: “I believe that the problem with Carlo Ancelotti was that when you coach Everton you are not about to win the Champions League.
“And with me, you know, people they saw me taking up jobs where they thought that I could win trophies but they were not jobs where we were expected to lift trophies.”
Charlie Savage signs extension with United
Robbie Savage is delighted that his son Charlie was given a new long-term deal with Man United.
Robbie said after his 19-year-son was handed the extension: “”So proud, thank you to everyone involved.
“Huge thank you to Chris and Jake at new era.”
Dybala rules out move to United
Soon-to-be free agent Paulo Dybala has reportedly ruled out a move to England as he closes in on a transfer to Inter Milan, writes Joshua Mbu.
Dybala is set to depart Juventus after spending seven years of his club career there.
The Argentine is attracting interest from a host of Europe’s top clubs, with the likes of Inter Milan, Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and Roma all interested.
Manchester United and Tottenham, who have both been long-term admirers of the forward are also keen on exploring a possible deal.
But according to AS, a move to the Premier League is off the cards with Dybala’s “own environment” ruling out the proposal.
This is despite Fabio Paratici, who orchestrated Dybala’s move to Juve, now working for the North London club.
It looks like Dybala’s preference is to stay in Italy.
Journalist Nicolo Schira is reporting that the 28-year-old is closing in on a move to Inter.
Man United scrap awards
Man United have reportedly CANCELLED their end of season awards ceremony after a request from the players.
The Red Devils will post their worst-ever Premier League points tally regardless of Sunday’s result at Crystal Palace.
And their shocking season meant United stars were too embarrassed for the awards night to go ahead, according to the Mirror.
Each year the club host a glitzy end-of-season do to recognise the best performers over the course of the season from both the first-team and the academy.
The black-tie event held at Old Trafford has occupied a regular spot on the calendar during the final two weeks of the season for the last 10 years.
But despite Covid-19 cancelling the last two editions, the players were not keen on the night going ahead this year.
Mbappe to announce his future in ‘The Decision II’
Kylian Mbappe will reportedly announce his eagerly-anticipated next move this weekend, writes Chisanga Malata.
The coveted Mbappe has remained tight-lipped on his next move but will reportedly break his silence on his future on Sunday.
That’s according to L’Equipe, who claim the World Cup winner will spill the beans at 10am BST.
Mbappe’s planned announcement has drawn comparisons to LeBron James’ announcing of his 2012 move to the Miami Heat.
The future NBA Hall of Famer kept basketball fans on tenterhooks with an hour-and-half-long show – which was fittingly named ‘The Decision’.
He eventually announced his departure from the Cleveland Cavaliers but returned to lift a championship with them in 2016.
Man United close in on Timber
Man United appear to be on the verge of closing in on the signing of Ajax defender Jurrien Timber.
Incoming Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag has been linked with bringing one of his current top stars with him to Old Trafford.
Now the Netherlands centre-half looks set to complete the move to the Premier League.
The 20-year-old star is represented by Forza Sports Group.
And the company has sparked speculation a transfer is imminent by seemingly dropping a big hint online.
They posted a clip on social media of an airport and captioned it with: “Deal closing time…”
Ten Hag in town
Erik ten Hag has been spotted leaving the Man United’s London office ahead of taking charge – appearing set to attend United’s final game of the season.
He arrived in London on a private jet on Wednesday with assistant Mitchell van der Gaag.
The duo had previously been working for the Red Devils remotely, so as not to distract from Ralf Rangnick’s preparations for United’s final game of the season against Crystal Palace.
But the soon-to-be manager did visit United’s southern office in the West End to meet up with his new bosses.
A photo showed Ten Hag, dressed in a light suit with a blue shirt, in the back seat of a motor departing the premises alongside his agent Kees Vos.
