      How PSG could line up with Marcus Rashford rubbing shoulders with Messi and Neymar as Man Utd star ‘considers future’

      by

      PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN could line up in several ways should they make a move for Marcus Rashford.Reports claim the Manchester United star, 23, is being lined up as a replacement for Kylian Mbappe this summer.

      Real Madrid are leading the race to sign Mbappe, 23, on a free transfer.
      And Mauricio Pochettino believes Rashford is the man best suited to replicate Mbappe’s style in his side.
      In Poch’s regular 4-3-3 system, his fluid attackers interchange throughout games.
      Rashford has been playing on United’s right flank under Ralf Rangnick.
      And he would likely start there for PSG, with ‘false nine’ Lionel Messi dropping deep for him to cut inside.
      However, Rashford also boasts the explosive pace which can devastate high defensive lines.

      Pochettino could instead deploy him as a central striker in a 4-2-3-1 formation.
      By bringing in Angel Di Maria to cover the right wing, Rashford could go straight up top to lead PSG’s attack.
      And with Messi free to pull the strings as a No10, it may be the best way forward for the French giants.
      But Rashford could yet stay put at United.
      That’s because Pochettino is one of two candidates to replace Rangnick, the other being Ajax’ Erik ten Hag.
      And should the ex-Spurs boss return to England, he is likely to do all he can to persuade Rashford to remain.

      Man Utd plot transfer swoop for Boro star Isaiah Jones as Tottenham ‘ask to be kept informed’ on wing-back’s future

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED are reportedly one of a host of clubs tracking Middlesbrough starlet Isaiah Jones.The 22-year-old has gone from non-league unknown at Tooting & Mitchham to one of the Championship’s brightest stars in over the past two years.

      Jones shone again last Tuesday at wing-back as Boro dumped Tottenham out of the FA Cup.
      And 90 Min claims that his display led to Tottenham ‘asking to be kept informed’ over his future.
      But United are allegedly ready to battle Spurs for any potential swoop should Chris Wilder’s side decide to cash-in.
      And the Red Devils are not the only club monitoring the progress of Jones.
      West Ham and Crystal Palace are both reportedly watching him closely along with fellow Premier League clubs Brighton and Brentford.
      And European powerhouses Atletico Madrid, Ajax and RB Leipzig are keeping an eye on things as well.

      However, promotion-chasing Boro are under no pressure to sell the new fan favourite.
      Jones, who has eight assists in the Championship this season, recently signed a new long-term deal to stay at the Riverside until 2025.
      Djed Spence, who is now wanted by Spurs and Arsenal, was allowed to head to Nottingham Forest on a season-long loan after Jones’ brilliant start to the campaign.
      And Boro are expected to cash in on him instead once the summer window opens rather than lose their star man.

      Anthony Martial transfer blow as Sevilla decide not to try and keep Man Utd forward beyond his loan spell

      ANTHONY MARTIAL has reportedly suffered a blow as Sevilla have already decided not to turn his loan from Manchester United into a permanent move.The Frenchman swapped Old Trafford for Spain in January in a switch until the end of the season.

      The LaLiga side have already decided they won’t sign him permanentlyCredit: Rex
      That came after a public fall-out with Red Devils boss Ralf Rangnick amid claims that the forward refused to be a sub against Aston Villa.
      The 26-year-old denied those allegations on social media and eventually forced through his switch to the LaLiga side.
      After a rocky start for his new team which led to his manager demanding more from the star, he finally got off the mark for them against Dynamo Zagreb.
      However, now Football Transfers claims that Sevilla have already opted against trying to secure him long-term.
      Martial’s wages and the transfer fee being demanded by United make him ‘unattainable’ for them.
      And they report a source saying: “Sevilla won’t buy Martial even if they win the EuroMillions.

      “They are happy with him but they won’t sign him permanently.
      “Any further deal is not in their plans at all – just these six months to help them challenge Real Madrid for the title.”
      Martial is under contract with the Red Devils until 2024 but has a list of clubs being linked with him.
      Juventus are believed to be keen while both Arsenal and Newcastle would like to keep him in the Premier League.

      The star has entered the last 18 months of his Bayern Munich deal and could be sold this summerCredit: Getty
      He could leave for nothing in June 2023 or, if the Bundesliga giants decide to cash in, possibly go this summer.
      A number of clubs are beginning to circle – and now the Red Devils seem to have joined the chase.
      That is according to 90 mins, who state there is ‘concrete’ interest from Old Trafford and the Premier League in Lewandowski.
      Bayern Munich are believed to be lining up a swoop for Dortmund hotshot Erling Haaland as a replacement.
      They will face a major fight to secure the Norwegian as Paris Saint Germain, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Chelsea and Manchester City are among those who have shown an interest.
      Lewandowski’s agents are now considering their options in case Bayern do decide to sell the superstar this summer.

      And this latest report also states that United have asked to be kept informed about his situation.
      But they are not the only club looking to bring Lewandowski to England after we reported Arsenal were eyeing a swoop earlier this week.
      And they would face fierce competition for his signature as Atletico Madrid became another team linked with a move.
      Both Chelsea and Real Madrid are also keen on the ex-Dortmund star.
      It has also previously been claimed that he wants to test himself in another top league while still in his pomp.
      He has been crowned Fifa’s best player for the past two years and remained non-committal on his future after helping his team win at Frankfurt last weekend.
      Lewandowski told Sky Sports in Germany: “I am open to everything. I’m quiet.
      “It is important for me to be able to focus on my game, always on what can happen in the last match.
      “Everything that remains to be done regarding the contracts is a secondary issue and remains in the background.”

      Declan Rice hints at Man Utd or Chelsea transfer as he reveals ‘urgent’ dream to play in Champions League

      by

      DECLAN RICE says his dreams to play in the Champions League are ‘urgent’ in a major transfer warning to West Ham.The Hammers midfielder, 23, has been valued at £120million by boss David Moyes with the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea showing an interest.
      Rice says it is ‘as urgent as possible’ to play in the Champions LeagueCredit: Getty
      Rice’s current deal with the club runs out in June 2024 – with no talks so far to extend.
      And the England international has hinted yet again his future may lie away from the club after admitting he sees himself as one of the best players in the world.
      Asked about his desire to win trophies and play in the Champions League, Rice said: “It is as urgent as possible. I feel like, not only for me, that’s for every young player as well.
      “I see friends that are close to me, big players winning big trophies. You want to be a part of that. You want to be remembered in this career for what you’ve won.
      “I feel like I am one of the established top players around the world. I am only 23.
      “But in terms of my playing ability and the way I’ve performed consistently, I see myself as an established player now who’s got good experience and can play at any level if required.

      “We are really close with West Ham at the minute and last season it was gutting to lose out on it but we are pushing.
      “We’ll keep going. Champions League is a big aim of mine and hopefully one day I can play in it, and these moments I am having now can spur me on to be even better.”
      West Ham are currently fifth – two points behind Man United in fourth – but the top four looks out of their control with Arsenal and Tottenham having games in hand.
      Moyes’ men also came close last season before finishing sixth – and Rice has been a key figure for both club and country in recent seasons.
      He lifted the Player of the Year at the London Football Awards on Thursday evening – three years after picking up the Young Player of the Year title.
      £100MILLION VALUATION
      Asked about his £100m valuation, Rice added: “You hear those numbers and for me it is crazy. All I can do is go out there and perform, regardless of the price tag.
      “I just need to focus on playing well and performing at the best level I can.”
      Rice revealed in an interview with Gary Neville on ‘The Overlap’ that he would like to remain in the capital – specifically near his family in west London.
      He was brought up a Blues fan and was in their academy – alongside best pal Mason Mount – and his release before joining West Ham still acts as a motivator.
      Rice said: “I was released by Chelsea at 14, that was a setback. I was nearly released by West Ham at 16, that was nearly a setback.
      “I’ve had big games where we’ve lost, like the Euros final with England. It really spurs you on to want to improve.” More

      Man Utd target world-class centre-back transfer ‘throwing Harry Maguire and two other defenders’ futures into doubt’

      by

      HARRY MAGUIRE’S future at Manchester United is reportedly in doubt as the club plot a swoop to sign a ‘world-class’ centre back.Stories emerged on Thursday that the captain’s team-mates are questioning why he is continually picked by interim boss Ralf Rangnick despite some poor displays.

      The 28-year-old was rested for the draw with Watford and replaced by Victor Lindelof but looks set to return to the side for Sunday’s Manchester Derby.
      Rangnick has supported his skipper publicly and insisted he will not take the armband off him.
      However, the Daily Mail states that a ‘new centre-back will be high on United’s list of targets’ in the summer transfer window.
      Chelsea star Antonio Rudiger becomes a free agent in June and the Red Devils are targeting the German.
      Barcelona’s Uruguayan ace Ronald Araujo is another potential option while United have also been linked with Dortmund’s Manuel Akanji.
      And it is not only Maguire that will be looking over his shoulder amid the club’s search for defensive improvements.

      This latest report also states that both Eric Bailly and Phil Jones face uncertain futures at Old Trafford.
      It also claims ‘that Maguire has upset a number of team-mates this season by openly blaming them on the pitch for making mistakes when his own form has been so erratic’ along with some of his post-match remarks in the media.
      The player and club have also dismissed talk of a ‘power struggle’ between him and Cristiano Ronaldo.

      Man Utd ‘launch transfer bid for Manuel Akanji’ as Dortmund start looking at replacement defenders

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED have reportedly made an offer for Borussia Dortmund’s Manuel Akanji.The Switzerland international has caught the eye after a string of good performances in the Bundesliga.

      Akanji’s current contract expires in 2023, meaning Dortmund could be forced to sell this summer in order to yield maximum profit.
      German outlet SportBILD previously reported that he could be sold for as little as £20million at the end of the season.
      Now the same publication has claimed that the defender has an ‘offer from Manchester United on the table’.
      Interim Red Devils boss Ralf Rangnick is believed to be a big fan of the ace and wants to bring him to Old Trafford.
      Dortmund though are keen for the 26-year-old to agree fresh terms.
      But his reported £160,000-a-week demands, double his current salary, could price Dortmund out of an extension.

      Freiburg’s Nico Schlotterbeck and Marseille’s Boubacar Kamara are both being targeted by Dortmund to fill the void should Akanji depart.
      Any potential move could spell trouble for United captain Harry Maguire.
      The England centre-back has come under massive scrutiny for his displays this term.
      Question marks have been raised over his ability at the very top level and a swoop for Akanji would suggest he would be seen as a replacement for the ex-Leicester City man.
