    Newcastle, Tottenham and Chelsea may also be interested in a summer swoop.
    But according to CBS, Erik ten Hag wants to sign the Canada international to bolster his attack.
    Lille are said to want around £42million for the striker.
    And Ten Hag may give the green light to Old Trafford chiefs to stump up the cash.

eyeing Jonathan David transfer, Ten Hag ARRIVES to watch Palace
    The report adds he has been tracking David since his time at Gent and throughout his two-year spell at Lille.
    David, 22, has scored 19 times for the French club this campaign and an impressive 20 in 30 overall for Canada, who qualified for the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
    The Dutchman has landed in England and is already plotting his summer overhaul with drastic changes needed.
    And a new striker is a high priority.

    Pogba to Juventus, Ten Hag to watch Palace game, Man Utd closing in on Jurrien Timber, Wan Bissaka told he can leave

    MANCHESTER UNITED could be set to watch Paul Pogba leave the club to return to Juventus this summer, according to reports. Meanwhile, new boss Erik Ten Hag could be in attendance for United’s clash with Crystal Palace this weekend on the final day of the season.
    Leeds’ Kalvin Phillips has reportedly told friends he will never move to Old Trafford.
    United, however, look to be closing in on the signing of Jurrien Timber.
    And the Red Devils face a battle with Real Madrid for the signature of Lazio’s Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.

    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.

    Youngster leaves Man United
    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.

    Good morning Man United fans
    Erik Ten Hag has arrived in London on a private jet and could attend Manchester United’s final game of the season.
    The Dutchman flew in on Wednesday afternoon alongside 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.
    According to the Mail, Ten Hag and Van der Gaag could be in attendance at Selhurst Park to watch their new side in action.
    Elsewhere, Juventus have reportedly offered Paul Pogba £120,000-a-week wages to re-join them this summer.
    Goal claims Juventus have a three-year contract on the table for Pogba, 29 – despite the Italians claiming they have a “gentleman’s agreement” to talk with United first.
    Meanwhile, United goalkeeper Dean Henderson is “closing in on a move” to Newcastle United.
    The Manchester Evening News claim that Henderson, 25, was in Newcastle for talks on Wednesday.
    Discussions have been held over a loan deal but a permanent move has “not been ruled out”.
    In other news, United defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka will be allowed to leave permanently or on loan, report Sky Sports.
    Finally, Man United appear to be on the verge of closing in on the signing of Ajax defender Jurrien Timber.
    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…”
    Koulibaly speaks on Napoli future
    Man United transfer target Kalidou Koulibaly has opened up on his Napoli future.
    Koulibaly told Onze Mondial: “I would not cause an argument to leave the club. If I ever did leave Napoli, I would do it on my terms.
    “There would be no argument and I would speak to the president. He tries to listen to the fans who don’t want me go and every time has asked for a fee that was too high.”
    Newcastle and Man City have also been linked with the defender.
    Nunez ‘snubs’ Man United
    Darwin Nunez has reportedly rejected an approach from Manchester United to sign him from Benfica.
    Arsenal and Newcastle have both been linked along with the Red Devils in making a move.
    And French giants Paris Saint-Germain are also keen on Nunez.
    Now RMC Sport have offered an update on his situation, claiming that United have informed the star’s camp that they would be willing to pay £67.8million for him.
    However, it states that Nunez has refused United’s approach.
    He wants to sign for a club that will be competing in the Champions League next season – with United only able to qualify for the Europa League at best.
    Pogba made City U-turn
    Paul Pogba agreed a controversial transfer to Manchester City but made a dramatic U-turn amid fears of fan backlash, according to reports.
    Pogba had even agreed personal terms with Manchester City ahead of a potential move, according to The Times.

    Nemanja Matic has told Man United fans that the players are doing their best despite going through a rough patch.
    Matic said whilst pleading for fans the carry on supporting the club: “I know that we have had a couple of difficult seasons but I just want the fans to know that, at the training ground, we’re doing our best, and United will come back, for sure.”
    But the midfielder who is leaving United this summer insisted United will be back on top one day.
    He added: “It’s going to take some time but United will be back. Keep supporting the team. Stay together.”
    Beckham speaks on Real Madrid number
    David Beckham has revealed he became Real Madrid No 23 shirt to honour Michael Jordan – as he knew he couldn’t have Raul’s No7 top.
    The midfielder had to ditch the No7 he’d worn so iconically for the Red Devils and continued to don as England skipper in earning 115 caps.
    But he was delighted to instead pay homage to his ‘inspiration Jordan.
    He told a Complex store video: “The Number 7 was worn by Raul, the captain, the God of Real Madrid, so I was never going to get the No7.
    “So they said, ‘OK, these numbers are available’. I said, ‘well, 23, it has to be 23’. 
    “I’ve always been a fan of Jordan, but I think there are so many cultures that have been inspired by him, his game. 
    “And as you see it now – the world is inspired by him.”
    Elanga on United atmposhere
    Anthony Elanga has declared that everyone at Man United pushes each other to do better.
    In an interview with the club, he said: ““Competition is healthy, especially in the environment I am in.
    “I feel like everyone is pushing each other to become the best version of themselves [and] it shows, even in training.
    “Competition is something you need in a big team like Manchester United. If you want to become the best, you’ve got to compete with the best.”
    Matic praises United youngster
    Nemanja Matic has heaped praise on Man United youngster Hannibal Mejbri.
    Matic said to United’s website: “I have to say that Hannibal is a fantastic player and a great character.
    “The talent he has, he needs to use that. I really want to see him in the future and how he will grow.
    “I hope to see him get more minutes. I think that every time I see him in training, he surprises me with his quality, he’s still young, but I’m very excited.”

    Man Utd consider joining Raphinha transfer chase with Leeds set to lose FIVE top stars if they are relegated

    MANCHESTER UNITED are reportedly considering a swoop for Raphinha with Leeds bracing themselves to lose up to five stars if they are relegated.The Elland Road outfit know they have to secure a better result than Burnley on Sunday in order to survive in the Premier League.
    And ahead of their final day trip to Brentford on Sunday, boss Jesse Marsch has admitted his fear that the squad could be broken up if they suffer relegation to the Championship.
    England midfielder Kalvin Phillips, former Man United forward Jack Harrison, goalkeeper Illan Meslier and striker Patrick Bamford are all expected to attract offers should they fail to beat the drop.
    As will Brazilian international winger Raphina – and The Telegraph are claiming that the 25-year-old “could be of interest” to United.
    Incoming Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag knows that his transfer budget will now be reduced this summer after failing to qualify for the Champions League.

    And United also know that any potential deal could be scuppered by the rivalry that exists between United and Leeds.
    However, the Old Trafford outfit are “understood to be monitoring the situation” for the attacker.

    Discussing the prospect of relegation on his squad, Marsch said: “I haven’t gone through player-by player what the consequences will be but I am aware there are always changes from season to season and the best chance to keep the core of the group together is to stay in the league.

    Rangnick said: “A few are still question marks. Luke Shaw’s wife gave birth to their second baby today, we have to wait and see.
    “Today’s training one of two couldn’t finish, Jadon Sancho and Phil Jones.”
    David de Gea will see out the season in goal, and he could have a back four made up of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Harry Maguire, Raphael Varane and Alex Telles protecting him.
    McFred could be the pair manning the midfield, hoping to cut out any danger Palace pose in the final third.
    Marcus Rashford, Bruno Fernandes and Anthony Elanga could start behind Cristiano Ronaldo.
    Alternatively, Rangnick could change shape to a back three like he did once his side shipped four against Brighton.
    Maguire, Varane and Victor Lindelof could shield De Gea.
    Academy star Alvaro Fernandez may be given a run out at wing-back.

    Koulibaly speaks on Napoli future
    Man United transfer target Kalidou Koulibaly has opened up on his Napoli future.
    Koulibaly told Onze Mondial: “I would not cause an argument to leave the club. If I ever did leave Napoli, I would do it on my terms.
    “There would be no argument and I would speak to the president. He tries to listen to the fans who don’t want me go and every time has asked for a fee that was too high.”
    Newcastle and Man City have also been linked with the defender.
    Nunez ‘snubs’ Man United
    Darwin Nunez has reportedly rejected an approach from Manchester United to sign him from Benfica.
    Arsenal and Newcastle have both been linked along with the Red Devils in making a move.
    And French giants Paris Saint-Germain are also keen on Nunez.
    Now RMC Sport have offered an update on his situation, claiming that United have informed the star’s camp that they would be willing to pay £67.8million for him.
    However, it states that Nunez has refused United’s approach.
    He wants to sign for a club that will be competing in the Champions League next season – with United only able to qualify for the Europa League at best.
    Pogba made City U-turn
    Paul Pogba agreed a controversial transfer to Manchester City but made a dramatic U-turn amid fears of fan backlash, according to reports.
    Pogba had even agreed personal terms with Manchester 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 spotted
    Erik ten Hag has been spotted leaving the Man United’s London office ahead of taking charge.
    He arrived in London on a private jet on Wednesday alongside 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.
    Now he could be set to attend United’s final game of the season.

    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.
    Matic: We’re doing our best
    Nemanja Matic has told Man United fans that the players are doing their best despite going through a rough patch.
    Matic said whilst pleading for fans the carry on supporting the club: “I know that we have had a couple of difficult seasons but I just want the fans to know that, at the training ground, we’re doing our best, and United will come back, for sure.”
    But the midfielder who is leaving United this summer insisted United will be back on top one day.
    He added: “It’s going to take some time but United will be back. Keep supporting the team. Stay together.”
    Beckham speaks on Real Madrid number
    David Beckham has revealed he became Real Madrid No 23 shirt to honour Michael Jordan – as he knew he couldn’t have Raul’s No7 top.
    The midfielder had to ditch the No7 he’d worn so iconically for the Red Devils and continued to don as England skipper in earning 115 caps.
    But he was delighted to instead pay homage to his ‘inspiration Jordan.
    He told a Complex store video: “The Number 7 was worn by Raul, the captain, the God of Real Madrid, so I was never going to get the No7.
    “So they said, ‘OK, these numbers are available’. I said, ‘well, 23, it has to be 23’. 
    “I’ve always been a fan of Jordan, but I think there are so many cultures that have been inspired by him, his game. 
    “And as you see it now – the world is inspired by him.”
    Elanga on United atmposhere
    Anthony Elanga has declared that everyone at Man United pushes each other to do better.
    In an interview with the club, he said: ““Competition is healthy, especially in the environment I am in.
    “I feel like everyone is pushing each other to become the best version of themselves [and] it shows, even in training.
    “Competition is something you need in a big team like Manchester United. If you want to become the best, you’ve got to compete with the best.”
    Matic praises United youngster
    Nemanja Matic has heaped praise on Man United youngster Hannibal Mejbri.
    Matic said to United’s website: “I have to say that Hannibal is a fantastic player and a great character.
    “The talent he has, he needs to use that. I really want to see him in the future and how he will grow.
    “I hope to see him get more minutes. I think that every time I see him in training, he surprises me with his quality, he’s still young, but I’m very excited.”
    Robbie Savage expresses joy
    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.”
    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…”

    McClaren will be a good coach
    Steve McClaren will be a good coach at Man United although he wasn’t a great manager, Paul Parker claims.
    Parker told indiabetting.co.in: “Steve McClaren is a very good coach. As a manager, he wasn’t successful.
    “There are people who can coach and people who can manage. And there are only a few managers that we can talk about doing both, and who have done that and have been deemed as great managers.
    “Steve McClaren worked at United for a number of years so he’s got a basic idea of what may be needed.
    “Manchester United have to move on as a club from top to bottom from what they are doing and it can’t be the same things that made them into the club they are, they have to move a little bit with the times.
    “At the moment, Manchester United haven’t been adapting, they’ve been living in this world like the way it used to be.”
    How Ten Hag should treat players
    Erik ten Hag needs to treat all Man United players the same, Paul Parker claims.
    He told indiabetting.co.in: “I think someone who comes in and just talks and doesn’t stutter and does not make eye contact. I would imagine, he knows all that stuff, it’s all the part of management. Hopefully, he is going to be a manager and not just a head coach.”
    “Not someone who’s gonna walk in and start looking around and going “well, he’s earned that much money, he’s earned that much money,” and you think: Oh, I can’t have a go at him because he sells so many shirts and he’s got so many followers on Instagram.”
    “Go in there, everyone is in exactly the same boat and you treat all of them the same, nothing different, and that’s the bit that I would be looking for.”
    What Ten Hag needs to do
    Erik ten Hag needs to stamp his authority at Man United immediately, according to Paul Parker.
    Parker told indiabetting.co.in: “I think it’s the same thing for any job really, establishing authority. You know, you walk in your first day into any job, I mean, it’s gonna be difficult.
    “The first thing; your first team talk, your first group talk, your squad talk, that’s your most important one. It is the one that makes you or breaks you. It Is the one where anybody who will have a bad attitude will be looking for an excuse to dig into him. He’s got to let everyone know, that he’s not gonna suffer any problems.
    “It’s as simple as that. He’s come across there. His reputation is at stake as well. You know he’s a well-known man in his own country. He’s managed a very successful club, a big club, a renowned club and he surely hasn’t gone to Manchester United to ruin all that.”
    “He’s in a position now, where it’s gonna make him or break him. That’s what Manchester United has done to the previous four or five managers, I’ve lost count now. So, he’s got to go in there and do something different to all of them.
    “If he hasn’t been given the license to do it, just grab it. Just grab it now and just say I’m gonna take it and if you don’t like it get rid of me. He can’t have people messing him about. He can’t have people who are not going to give him a hundred per cent.”
    Juventus plan Prem raid
    Juventus chief Federico Cherubini has reportedly arrived in London as he looks to secure a deal for Chelsea’s Jorginho.
    The Italian giants appear to have won the race to sign Manchester United’s Paul Pogba on a free transfer when the Frenchman’s contract expires next month.
    And the 29-year-old could be lining-up alongside Jorginho when he returns to Turin next term.
    Todd Boehly’s consortium hope to complete their takeover of Chelsea by the end of the month, which will finally allow them to get back in the game transfer wise.
    However, a big-name departure could be the first topic of conversation, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.
     They state that Juventus have made Italy international midfielder Jorginho, 30, one of their top targets and have now begun their attempt to get him.
    Charlie Savage signs long-term deal
    Charlie Savage has signed a long-term contract with Man United.
    Robbie Savage’s son said on Instagram after penning the deal: “Great way to end an amazing season. Delighted to sign a long-term contract with this special club.
    “Thank you to my family for their support, without them this would never have been possible.
    “Also, a big shoutout to the @neweraglobalsports team for help making this happen, especially to Jake, Chris and Rio.
    “Time for a short break before going again and giving everything to keep pushing forward.”
    Wan-Bissaka allowed to leave Man Utd, say reports
    Aaron Wan-Bissaka will be allowed to leave permanently or on loan, report Sky Sports.
    Wan-Bissaka, 24, has endured a difficult campaign at Old Trafford.
    The full-back has started only 25 games with Diogo Dalot being preferred of late.
    SunSport exclusively revealed last week that ex-United manager Jose Mourinho is keen on Wan-Bissaka for Roma.
    Crystal Palace, who sold Wan-Bissaka to United for £50million in 2019, would be open to re-signing him.
    The full-back is also drawing admiring glances from Spanish giants Atletico Madrid.
    Dean Henderson in Newcastle to discuss move
    Manchester United goalkeeper Dean Henderson is “closing in on a move” to Newcastle United.
    The Manchester Evening News claim that Henderson, 25, was in Newcastle for talks on Wednesday.
    Discussions have been held over a loan deal but a permanent move has “not been ruled out”.
    Van der Gaag and McClaren to be part of coaching staff, say reports
    Erik ten Hag is claimed to want Mitchell Van der Gaag as his assistant at Old Trafford.
    Van Der Gaag is likely to be the man tasked with helping Ten Hag salvage the sinking ship at Manchester United as his No2.
    And reports say that Steve McClaren will also be re-joining the club.
    Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano tweeted: “Mitchell van der Gaag and Steve McClaren will be part of new Man Utd coaching staff, confirmed.
    “Full agreement at final stages and set to be signed with both of them.
    “#MUFC Official statement for McClaren to join United could be next week, as @MrStephenHowson reports.”
    United’s transfer struggles
    Former Man United star Teddy Sheringham reckons the Red Devils have fallen down the pecking order as a destination for big players.
    Sheringham made the claims whilst discussing United’s interest in Harry Kane.
    The former England striker told Genting Casino: “Manchester United are falling down the pecking order for big players, but having said that, they are still a massive club, they’re still a massive draw.
    “If they do come calling, it’ll be hard to turn them down. Even if they’re not in any European competitions next season, it would still be a very tough thing to say no to Manchester United.”
    United should sell Henderson, says Paul Parker
    Ex-England international Paul Parker said that Dean Henderson will refuse to sit on the bench again all season.

    In a chat with indiabetting.co.in, the former United defender was asked whether Man Utd should sell Dean Henderson to rivals Newcastle.
    Parker said: “I personally do.
    “Give him the opportunity and go and prove it. 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.”
    Pogba to re-join Juve, say reports
    Juventus have reportedly offered Paul Pogba £120,000-a-week wages to re-join them this summer, writes Anthony Chapman.
    But the Manchester United exile could scupper a free transfer as he seeks a higher salary from his former side.
    Goal claims Juventus have a three-year contract on the table for Pogba, 29 – despite the Italians claiming they have a “gentleman’s agreement” to talk with United first.

    The midfielder spent four years in Turin between 2012 and 2016, winning four titles and two Italian Cups.
    And fallen giants Juve, guaranteed to finish fourth on Saturday, want Pogba 2.0 to resurrect their Serie A ambitions next term.
    However, issues remain over the Frenchman’s wage demands.
    Ronaldo still has key role at Man Utd, says Winterburn
    Cristiano Ronaldo will still offer huge value to Manchester United next season, claims Nigel Winterburn.
    The Arsenal legend would be stunned to see Ronaldo leave the Red Devils after just one year back at Old Trafford, writes Etienne Fermie.
    Ronaldo, 37, has been linked with a summer exit amid uncertainty over his role under incoming boss Erik ten Hag.

    Winterburn, 58, told Paddy Power: “Manchester United won’t just bring Cristiano Ronaldo in for one season and ship him out so quickly, it just won’t happen.
    “He still offers huge value to Manchester United, and we’ve seen that in his goalscoring record. His age is but a number.
    “He has huge experience, and he could play an important role if United opt to go down the younger route in setting an example of how to train and play, as well as what it means to win and lose.
    “He can help those younger players around the training ground and if he can accept that, he might be used in a slightly different way and have less game time.
    “It doesn’t surprise me that he’s still there. If you have someone of his quality, you have to use them and use them in the right system.
    “I believe there’s a role for him to play next season at United, he’s a superstar.”
    Man Utd transfer target Antony sends message to Ten Hag
    Manchester United transfer target Antony promised to “always stand” with his Ajax boss Erik ten Hag.
    The Dutch manager has taken charge of his final match with the Amsterdam giants.
    as revealed by SunSport, winger Antony could be top of the Man Utd wishlist.

    In a farewell video message for the departing boss, Antony – who is reportedly keen to test himself in England – said: “I want to wish you all the best at your new club.
    “I also want to thank you for everything you taught me.
    “I am thankful all the opportunities and learning every day.
    “Know that I will always stand with you if you need me.”
    Ten Hag brought Antony to Ajax in 2020 and the forward, 22, has racked up 22 goals and 20 assists in his 79 appearances as well as two Eredivisie titles.
    Man Utd fan campaign to ‘Boycott Adidas’
    Manchester United fans have ramped up their anti-Glazer tactics by starting a “#BoycottAdidas” trend on Twitter.
    Some United supporters threatened not to wear Adidas products until the Glazers sell the club.
    Adidas are the club’s official kit manufacturers.

    Fan group The 1958 revealed on Wednesday night that they would be targeting a different stakeholder each week.
    They wrote on Twitter: “Calling all reds! Tonight we launch our worldwide cyber campaign against the Glazer stakeholders.
    “Each week we’ll be focusing on one Stakeholder at a time and posting two easy tasks every few days that week.
    “This week we start with: Adidas.
    “Do your bit, save your club.”

    New Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag urged to stick by Marcus Rashford despite striker’s poor form

    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.

Dest ‘wants £24m Man Utd transfer’, Wan Bissaka told he can leave
    Rashford has just five goals after netting 22 and 21 in the previous two seasons.
    He is worried about his place in Gareth Southgate’s England squad for the World Cup in Qatar in November.
    His current deal runs until 2023 —  with United having an option to extend by a further year.
    Local lad Rashford had never wanted a move away from Old Trafford but did start considering it this season over a lack of starts.

    United staff hope Dutchman Ten Hag can get him firing again and want the ex-Ajax boss to give him a shot.
    Aside from those out of contract, one player who looks to be up for sale is right-back Aaron Wan Bissaka, 24.
    Signed for £50million in 2019, the player has disappointed following a bright start under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Red Devils chiefs are willing to listen to offers.
    United go into Sunday’s final game of the season at Crystal Palace — where Ten Hag will be in the stands before officially starting work on Monday — already guaranteed their lowest points total in Prem history.

    Assistant Mitchell van der Gaag, Ten Hag’s assistant at Ajax, has also been at United’s Mayfair offices with Steve McClaren.
    He is set to return as first-team coach.
    McClaren had worked as No 2 to Sir Alex Ferguson from 1999 to 2001, playing a role in the club’s famous Treble within months of arriving.
    United are currently sixth and in the Europa League places.
    But they could drop down into seventh, and the Europa Conference League, if rivals West Ham win and they fail to get all three points at Selhurst Park. More

    Darwin Nunez ‘rejects Man Utd transfer with Benfica striker adamant on playing Champions League football’

    DARWIN NUNEZ has reportedly rejected an approach from Manchester United to sign him from Benfica.The Uruguayan striker has not been able to stop scoring this season, finding the net 32 times in all competitions.

    Six of those came in the Champions League and has led to huge interest in the 22-year-old.
    Arsenal and Newcastle have both been linked along with the Red Devils in making a move.
    And French giants Paris Saint-Germain are also keen on Nunez.
    Now RMC Sport have offered an update on his situation, claiming that United have informed the star’s camp that they would be willing to pay £67.8million for him.
    However, it states that Nunez has refused United’s approach.
    He wants to sign for a club that will be competing in the Champions League next season – with United only able to qualify for the Europa League at best.
    Newcastle have also allegedly made an approach – but he has snubbed them for the same reason.
    And that news will also come as a major blow to Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal.

    Pogba had even agreed personal terms with Manchester City ahead of a potential move, according to The Times.
    But the Frenchman is said to have then turned down a move across town.
    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 the Etihad.
