      His supreme talent has seen him dubbed the ‘Salford Silva’ for his likeness to Man City legend David Silva.
      But it remains to be seen whether or not McAtee will be able to ply his trade in Pep Guardiola’s side.
      The Spanish coach has declared his admiration for the youngster, however The Mail are now reporting that both Man Utd and Barcelona are keen to snap him up.
      The Red Devils have a history with McAtee as he was a part of their set-up as a young boy.

      But he left Old Trafford and was taken in by the Sky Blues where he has blossomed into a superb talent.
      Yet his contract with Man City continues to tick down and he now has just 18 months left on his current deal.
      Along with United and Barca, Ajax, Atletico Madrid and Liverpool are all also interested in the Salford-born attacker.
      McAtee may choose to look at Jadon Sancho for inspiration to leave the Etihad.

      Then in the summer he made the £73million transfer back to England as he joined Man Utd.
      McAtee faces stiff competition at defending champions City from the likes of Phil Foden, Bernardo Silva, Riyad Mahrez, Gabriel Jesus and Jack Grealish. More

      Man Utd star Paul Pogba ‘chooses Juventus transfer over Real Madrid and PSG but Italians must first sell Aaron Ramsey’

      by

      PAUL POGBA reportedly favours a move back to Juventus in 2022 with Manchester United resigned to losing the midfielder on a free transfer.Though it has been claimed that the Old Lady will have to offload at least two midfielders in order to snap him up – including Arsenal icon Aaron Ramsey.

      World Cup winner Pogba is in the final year of his contract at Old Trafford and is free to talk to foreign clubs in the New Year.
      He had hinted at staying at United last month after declaring that he loves playing alongside Cristiano Ronaldo.
      But SunSport understands that talks to extend his stay at the Theatre of Dreams have been shelved following the 5-0 defeat against Liverpool.
      The 28-year-old, who was sent off against the Reds, has been linked with moves to Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain as well as the Bianconeri.
      But according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Pogba’s priority is to return to Turin to link up with Massimiliano Allegri’s side.
      He is said to have told agent Mino Raiola that Juventus is the club he wants to play for, despite tempting proposals from Los Blancos and Les Parisiens.

      But the Italian news outlet states that in order to give Pogba a three-year deal, Juve must first offload peripheral figures in their side.
      They state that the Serie A giants will look to sell Ramsey, who is believed to be raking in £400,000-a-week at the Allianz Stadium, in the upcoming transfer window.
      And the club will also try and offload another midfielder not in the plans of Allegri.
      That player could be USA international Weston McKennie, who has been linked with a £25million switch to Tottenham, Aston Villa and West Ham in January.
      Following Pogba’s straight red card against Liverpool, United legend Paul Scholes declared that the Frenchman should never play for the Red Devils again.
      Speaking after the humiliating defeat, he remarked: “Paul Pogba coming on to the pitch at half time to try to help the team and maybe get a little respectability about it, tries to stand on the ball, tries to show how strong he is in the middle of the pitch… gives the goal away.
      “Then later on gets sent off with a ridiculous tackle, now you’re 5-0 down with ten men. You’d have to think, if Ole’s still a manager there, will we see Pogba again in a United shirt?
      “He’s caused mayhem over the last couple of years. Everyone knows what a talent he is, everybody trusts him, every manager trusts him, tried to give him his head and let him be the player he’s been.
      Man Utd’s biggest transfers ever, both in and out, including Ronaldo
      “But with all the commotion, not signing his contract, almost holding the club to ransom, and then he comes on and does something like that.
      “It’s not Ole’s fault, don’t get me wrong, but that’s part of it which almost summed the United performance up today.
      “Look, he probably will play [again] won’t he? But I don’t think they will be missing anything if he doesn’t.
      “He’s had numerous chances, he keeps saying he lacks consistency, but that is just [a lack of] discipline and disrespect for your manager and your teammates, what he’s done today.”

      Man Utd scouting Real Madrid whizkid Marvel, 18, as they look to sign future defensive superhero of Spanish football

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED are plotting a raid for Real Madrid’s Marvel – tipped to be the new superhero of Spanish football.The Red Devils have been admiring the 18-year-old phenomenon – whose full name is Marvelous Antolin Garzon – after watching him fly through the ranks in Madrid’s academy under club legend Raul’s tutelage.
      Marvel has caught United’s attention who want to snatch the youngster from MadridCredit: Getty
      The hulking defender was bumped up to Madrid’s U-19 team at the start of the month and has already made six appearances.
      And performances for Spain’s youth sides have seen him billed as the future of the country’s defensive structure.
      Now, according to Bernabeudigital, United have been sending scouts to Madrid to see what all the fuss is about.
      The Red Devils will fancy their chances persuading Marvel to leave Madrid for Manchester as they have already prised two youngsters away from the Spanish giants.
      Last year, United pounced for starlet Alvaro Fernandez Carreras when he failed to reach an agreement with Madrid to sign a new contract.
      The left-back,18, who was part of the Juvenil C side in Madrid went on to pen a four-year deal with United.

      They also pipped Madrid to the signing of another young Spaniard Alejandro Garnacho last year, who was just 16 at the time.
      The forward penned a five-year contract at Old Trafford after opting to leave Atletico Madrid and snubbing Los Blancos.
      United’s pursuit of Marvel could be given another boost if the club sack Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and hire former Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane.
      The Frenchman has been heavily linked with replacing Solskjaer after United’s drubbing at Liverpool.
      While Zidane was still at the Bernabeu, Marvel was one of the few youngsters who trained with the senior squad alongside the 49-year-old’s son Theo.

      by

      AURELIEN TCHOUAMENI is reportedly at the centre of a tug-of-war between Premier League rivals Chelsea and Liverpool.The 21-year-old, who will cost £38million from Monaco, has seen his stock rise rapidly following his Nations League win with France earlier this month.
      Tchouameni could be on his way to the Prem with both Liverpool and Chelsea vying for his signatureCredit: Getty
      Tchouameni has already become a regular in the Ligue 1 side’s first-team this season, featuring in 17 games in all competitions and chipping in with two goals.
      And his career ascent has impressed both the Reds and Blues who are both keen on bringing him to the Prem, according to Tuttosport.
      Tchouameni plays alongside former Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas at Monaco.
      And the three-time Premier League winner is not keen to see one of his side’s top assets leave, issuing a hands-off warning when Chelsea’s interest was mentioned in the summer.
      Whether or not Tchouameni might fancy a big-money move to the Premier League is another matter.
      Liverpool are believed to see Dortmund’s Jude Bellingham as their top target for midfield reinforcement next season.

      And the German side have admitted the Reds have made their interest known.
      They did, however, warn he will NOT come cheap, meaning Tchouameni could be a more affordable option.
      Manchester United have also been long-term admirers of the former Bordeaux kid.
      The Red Devils are said to be lining him up as a possible replacement for his French team-mate Paul Pogba who is yet to sign a new contract with the club.
      United want to tie him down to a new deal worth a mind-boggling £400,000-a-week.
      However. talks between the club and player hit the skids last week following United’s 5-0 drubbing at the hands of Liverpool.
      Pogba’s current United deal is up in the summer when he can walk away as a free agent.

      Man Utd transfer boost with Bayern Munich ‘determined’ to sell Kingsley Coman at end of season and not lose him on free

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED have been handed a huge boost in their pursuit of Bayern Munich star Kingsley Coman.The 25-year-old has two years left on his contract but is yet to agree terms over a new deal.

      And the German giants are keen to cash in on the winger this summer rather than lose him on a free, the Daily Mail reported.
      A move away from the Allianz Arena would suit both parties as Coman has previously expressed his desire to seek new pastures elsewhere.
      In the summer, Coman and his family were reportedly trying to force a move to England with United being his club of choice.
      Bayern’s refusal to meet the 25-year-old’s wage demands is said to be one of the main reasons that he wants to leave the club.
      However, United allegedly have no issues with providing the French star the pay packet he desires.
      Coman has won league titles with Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus and Bayern, and the Red Devils will hope he can help them do the same.

      But United’s Prem rivals Chelsea and Liverpool have also waded into the battle for Coman’s signature.
      The Reds and Blues are said to be keeping a close eye on Coman’s latest contract developments with Bayern, according to The Mirror.
      Thomas Tuchel’s side were linked with Coman throughout the recent transfer window but were reportedly put off by Bayern’s £86million price tag.
      All the clubs chasing Coman will also be closely monitoring his health after the star underwent a heart operation last month.

      Five Man Utd stars facing axe in January transfer window as season flops including Paul Pogba and Donny van de Beek

      by

      MANCHESTER United are targeting a January overhaul with FIVE players facing being sold by the club. With uncertainty regarding Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s future the Ole Trafford chiefs could try and free up funds to provide any new boss with a transfer armoury.

      SunSport exclusively revealed a leading agent has been instructed to contact some of the biggest names in the game, with Antonio Conte, Brendan Rodgers, Zinedine Zidane and Erik Ten Hag all shortlisted.
      Italian Conte is the bookies favourite and would likely want to make a number of transfers to kickstart his reign.
      That would mean moving some players on in January to prepare for a squad rebuild.
      Paul Pogba
      Pogba is out of contract at the end of the season and is persistently linked with a move away from the club.
      The 28-year-old furiously snubbed Solskjaer after being left out of Manchester United’s line-up for their 5-0 drubbing by Liverpool.
      And SunSport exclusively revealed the Frenchman has put all contract talks on hold.

      Donny van de Beek
      Dutchman Van de Beek has played just SIX minutes of Premier League action so far this season.
      The 24-year-old has recently changed agents in a reported attempt to seal a move away from the club in January.
      Serie A giants Juventus are the bookies favourite to sign Van de Beek, with Newcastle and Everton also linked.
      Jesse Lingard
      Lingard enjoyed a highly successful loan spell at West Ham in the second half of last season.
      It led to belief among some fans that he could be back in the first team mix at Old Trafford this season.
      But the 28-year-old has found minutes hard to come by and is linked with a New Year switch to mega-rich Newcastle.
      Lingard was also an unused sub in the defeat to LiverpoolCredit: Getty
      Anthony Martial
      Frenchman Martial has come under fire for his performances this season.
      The 25-year-old has scored just once is seven outings and has been slammed as ‘lightweight’ by pundits.
      Reports suggest United will accept bids of £40m for him in January after six-and-a-half years at the club

      Dean Henderson
      Finally back-up goalkeeper Henderson could be deemed surplus to requirements by Old Trafford chiefs.
      The 24-year-old was due to be given the goalkeeper’s shirt this season ahead of David De Gea.
      But Henderson has been suffering from long Covid and unable to even make the bench on some occasions this season.
      The player himself is keen on a loan move in an attempt to revive his career.

      How Man Utd could line-up under Antonio Conte including snatching Marcos Alonso from Chelsea and Barella from Inter

      by

      ANTONIO Conte is the bookies favourite to replace under pressure Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Manchester United. And SunSport has explored how the Red Devils could line-up if the 52-year-old former Chelsea boss is appointed at Old Trafford.
      How United could line-up under Conte
      SunSport exclusively revealed a leading agent has been instructed to contact some of the biggest names in the game, with Brendan Rodgers, Zinedine Zidane and Erik Ten Hag shortlisted – alongside Conte.
      Italian Conte is famed for his three-at-the-back formation, and would likely employ either a 3-5-2 or a 3-4-3.
      He led Inter to the Serie A title last season under a 3-5-2, and could bring some of the players he coached at San Siro to Old Trafford.
      United are reeling after being thumped 5-0 by Liverpool at the weekend meaning reinforcements in January could be on the cards.
      And with midfield pair Fred and Scott McTominay the subject of criticism, it could be the middle of the park that Conte overhauls first.
      Nicolo Barella is one of the brightest stars in Italian football and has been linked with a move to Old Trafford regardless of who is in charge.

      FREE BETS: GET OVER £2,000 IN NEW CUSTOMER DEALS
      Barella, 24, played a starring role in Inter’s first Serie A triumph sine 2010 last campaign, and also helped Italy to Euro 2020 glory.
      Inter teammate Marcelo Brozovic could complete the midfield rebuild, with the 28-year-old Croatian international out of contract at San Siro at the end of the season.
      It means United could opt to sign him for a cut price deal in January, or snap him up on a free in the summer.
      Conte could also sensationally reunite with Chelsea wing-back Marcos Alonso.
      Alonso is enjoying a new lease of life at Stamford Bridge, helping the Blues to the top of the Premier League.
      He also fits Conte’s wing-back system and the 26-year-old was a key feature of Conte’s team that won the title in 2017.
      Conte he could also bring Matteo Darmian back to Old Trafford – another player who fits his wing-back system.
      The 31-year-old has experience playing both for United and under Conte and could be a shrewd addition.

      Three-at-the-back would mean potentially signing another centre-back – and highly rated Slovakian centre-back Milan Skriniar could be the man for the job.
      The 26-year-old Inter defender is out of contract in 2023, meaning the Nerazzuri face losing him on a free transfer if he is not sold next summer.
      Finally Conte’s system includes two strikers.
      Lautaro Martinez could be the man to partner Cristiano Ronaldo up front in a deadly strike force.
      The 23-year-old Argentinian was linked with a £60million move away from Inter in the summer.
      Earlier this month it was reported he would sign a new contract at Inter ‘within days’ but no announcement has been made, meaning talks could have stalled.
      An alternative United XI under Conte
      Alternatively United could line-up in a 3-4-3 formation under Conte and employ wingers.
      Both Ousmane Dembele and Federico Chiesa have been linked with the club, and would form a formidable front three either side of Ronaldo.
      The Red Devils could also turn their attention back to Kieran Trippier, who was heavily linked with a move in the summer.
      Youri Tielemans is also at the centre of ongoing speculation.
      The 24-year-old is out of contract in 2023 and is believed to have turned down a new contract at the King Power, putting clubs on red alert.

      Man Utd ‘to pursue triple transfer swoop of Chiesa, Barella and Trippier next summer regardless who is manager’

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED are reportedly targeting THREE transfers for next summer… regardless of who their manager will be at the time.Spanish website Fichajes claims Old Trafford chiefs have identified Juventus forward Federico Chiesa, Inter Milan midfielder Nicolo Barella and Atletico Madrid defender Kieran Trippier as three players who can take United back to the top.

      Current boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is expected to remain in charge for this weekend’s crunch clash against Tottenham.
      But SunSport understands four managers have been contacted by United’s board, including Antonio Conte and Brendan Rodgers.
      Yet Fichajes claims no matter who is in the hot seat next year, United already have their summer wishlist drawn up.
      Chiesa, 23, has established himself as one of Europe’s finest attacking wingers.
      And his displays in Italy’s victorious Euro 2020 campaign earned Chiesa even more fans across the continent.
      Meanwhile, Barella, 24, played a key role in Inter Milan’s Serie A title win last season.

      He knows Conte well from their time together at the San Siro, and Barella would become United’s new engine in midfield should he make the move to England.
      Finally, Trippier, 31, was a major target for United in the last transfer window.

      However, Atletico did not want to sell after they won LaLiga with the England ace playing at right-back.
      Yet with Diego Simeone now going with attacking wing-backs in a new five-defender system, Trippier could finally be allowed to move on.
      And with a new manager potentially on board by that point, United could be a force to be reckoned with next season.
