      How Swansea announced the news
      Now after watching his new team draw at home to Sheffield United on Saturday and undergoing a medical on Sunday, the Championship side have confirmed his arrival today.
      And they did it in hilarious fashion, quoting a famous tweet from Kim Kardashian that read: “He’s here and he’s perfect!”
      Laird said: “I am buzzing, I cannot wait to get started and get out on the pitch.
      “This is a big club, a very big club, and the type of club I want to play for.
      “I played here once before at the stadium when I was 16 (for Manchester United U23s) and I really enjoyed it.
      “It was exciting to watch the game against Sheffield United, the fans here are intense and I cannot wait to play in front of them. I just want to get out there and experience it.”

      SunSport reported yesterday how Championship rivals Blackpool were trying to hijack the move but the lure of working with Martin again proved too strong.
      Laird added: “I also love working with Russell and I just know he can get the best out of me.
      “The big thing about him is trust. When I came in from United, he told me exactly how it was straight away.
      “I just learnt so much in that short amount of time, it was unbelievable so I knew if I worked with him again, I could continue to improve and develop.
      “I love the style of play. I think it is the best way to play football, it is entertaining, and it is how you want to see your team play, getting those passes in. That’s what I enjoy and that’s why I am here.”
      Laird played 25 times for MK Dons last season, as Russell Martin’s side finished 13th in League One.
      He provided four assists during his time at Stadium MK.

      Laird is a Manchester United academy graduate and has been with United since the age of 10.
      He is highly rated by the Red Devils and has played twice for the Old Trafford side, with both appearances coming in the Europa League two seasons ago.
      Laird was rewarded with a new contract two years ago which runs until 2023, with the option of extending the deal by another season.

      PSG willing to offer Paul Pogba eye-watering £510k-a-week salary to prise him away from Man Utd next summer

      The midfielder registered a staggering four assists in the rout.
      The France international has been linked with a move away from the Manchester giants for months after failing to agree a new contract.
      He has entered the final 12 months of his current deal and has so far failed to agree an extension.
      Now The Telegraph claims that PSG are willing to offer him a mega package to get him on a free transfer at the end of the season.
      The report states the French giants are willing to pay him £510,000-a-week to get his signature.
      Many believed that Pogba could depart United this summer so that they could secure a transfer fee.

      But Ole Gunnar Solskjaer remains hopeful that they will convince him to stay at Old Trafford.
      PSG’s successful pursuit of Lionel Messi and his huge financial package meant they had to shelve plans for Pogba this term.
      But it seems that the ex-Juventus man will be their top target come the summer of 2022.
      Bruno Fernandes, who scored a hat-trick against Leeds thanks to the help of Pogba, sang the praises of his teammate’s quality afterwards.
      He said: “We know the quality of Paul, that is not for discussion.
      “We know what he can do, and we saw that today. He is working for us and we know he can make this performance.

      “Every season I want to be better than the last one, so with every goal and performance, I want to do better. I have started with three goals but there is a long way to go.
      “We know the quality of the players who come in now, the team was already good and we saw that last season, even though we did not achieve the trophies.
      “The team is growing up and now we try to do better.
      “The statement today was against Leeds now and the next game will be against Southampton, so we will focus by game. We can do something with this mentality.”

      Man Utd star Jesse Lingard transfer hint as West Ham keeper Darren Randolph says he will ‘see him soon for training’

      by

      WEST HAM’s Darren Randolph has cast doubt over Jesse Lingard’s Manchester United future after telling the star ‘I’ll be seeing you soon’. The West Ham goalkeeper spent six months with Lingard last season, after the midfielder joined on loan in January.

      The move saw Lingard rejuvenate his career, scoring nine times for the Hammers in 16 games and leading to strong interest in a potential permanent transfer.
      But it is believed Lingard, 28, wanted to stay at United while West Ham were unwilling to meet United’s valuation.
      The England international, who narrowly missed out on a place in England’s Euro 2020 squad this summer, has since missed the start of the season with coronavirus.
      United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer welcomed Lingard back this summer to help bolster his midfield options.
      But still the playmaker has attracted attention away from Old Trafford, including at West Ham and Leicester.
      Hammers keeper Randolph appeared to do his best publicly to tempt Lingard back to the London Stadium.

      He posted on Instagram: “@JesseLingard I’ll be seeing you soon at Rush Green for training! You know you want to!”
      Lingard was forced to watch from home as United opened their Premier League account by thumping Leeds 5-1 at home.
      And afterwards, Solskjaer all-but confirmed the player would be returning to United’s side after recovering from Covid-19.
      He said: “Don’t forget Jesse Lingard who has re-invented himself and has come back the man that we know he is with the quality.
      “He is going to play a big part as well.”

      And he is ready to return home in order to prove his worth to international boss Tite.
      Pereira has been at United since 2011, scoring four goals in 75 games.
      However, he was shipped off on loan to Lazio last season after failing to win over Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
      And following the £73million signing of Jadon Sancho, Pereira is set for another campaign on the sidelines.
      The playmaker is believed to be a target for Everton boss Rafa Benitez.
      And Turkish giants Fenerbahce have also made an approach after being impressed by his pre-season performances.

      Paul Scholes predicts Paul Pogba WILL sign new contract now that Man Utd look like team that can ‘win trophies’

      PAUL SCHOLES believes Paul Pogba will sign a new Manchester United contract – now that they look like a team capable of winning trophies.The French midfielder, 28, has entered the final year of his current deal at Old Trafford.

      Question marks still hang over his future amid links of a move to Paris Saint-Germain or Real Madrid.
      But Scholes reckons Pogba will stay put and help United lift their first silverware since the 2017 Europa League.
      The Red Devils legend told Premier League Productions: “I think he’ll stay. I think he will.
      “When he was playing a couple of years ago in a team that wasn’t quite functioning as well as this one looks like it might do, and with the amount of attacking players he’s got, the ability he’s got, I think he’ll add a lot to this team.
      “I think he’ll end up signing a new contract.
      “If this team carries on in this manner, progressing like it is – I don’t want to get too excited – but it’s a team that can go on and win trophies and that’s what he wants to do.”

      Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano reports Pogba will be going nowhere next summer.
      No deal has been agreed just yet but talks have been ongoing for a number of weeks between the club and Pogba’s agent Mino Raiola.
      Scholes’ comments came after Pogba put in a stunning performance in United’s 5-1 thrashing of Leeds at Old Trafford.
      The £89million man produced FOUR assists as he blew Marcelo Bielsa’s side away.
      In the process, he became the first United player to achieve the amazing feat of four assists in one game in the club’s history.
      And Pogba also bettered his assists tally for the entirety of last season – when he managed three.
      His boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hailed the display – and hopes the return of adoring fans could help convince him to pen that new deal.
      The Norwegian said: “Impressive. You know Paul’s always got that vision, he’s got that quality.

      “I’m very impressed with his fitness levels as well. He’s not been with us for too long and he looks fit, ready to go, enjoying his football.
      “I love seeing Paul, Bruno [Fernandes], all these boys smiling when they play football.
      “Manchester United is fans and players and everyone together. So short answer: yes [it could influence Pogba’s decision].”

      Man Utd’s worst transfers XI post-Sir Alex Ferguson, including Fred, Di Maria and Depay that cost a staggering £325m

      by

      SIR ALEX FERGUSON left Manchester United with the Premier League trophy – but a raft of bad signings has seen it taken away with little sign of returning.A massive £323.7million has been splashed on 11 particularly dodgy deals.

      The worst XI of bad signings predominantly features attackers as the Red Devils failed to replace the likes of Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie.
      Romelu Lukaku cost an initial £75m and United struggled to find takers when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer decided to offload the Belgian to Inter where he thrived, before re-joining Chelsea.
      A promising first season was lost with a drop-off in 2018-19, scoring at an average of one every three games before leaving for Italy.
      At the very least, Lukaku provided some memorable moments but the same cannot be said for Angel Di Maria.
      The winger arrived with much fanfare in 2014 and quickly dropped off the pace, shepherded out to Paris Saint-Germain where he painfully found the form he lacked in England.
      The next expensive error was Fred who joined for £52m, but he still has time to prove himself at Old Trafford.
      In the slightly more affordable but nonetheless useless category are Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Morgan Schneiderlin, who came in for £30m and £27m respectively.
      Depay inherited the hallowed No7 shirt but failed to do it justiceCredit: PA:Empics Sport
      Still, United recouped most of the fee they spent on French anchor man Schneiderlin when he joined Everton but Mkhitaryan’s exit saw Alexis Sanchez arrive – making the Chilean’s initial fee cheap and yet still a huge disappointment.
      Among those who arrived with potential and waited until after leaving to go on to great things is Memphis Depay.
      Now a star at Barcelona and with the Dutch national team, his baffling form in the 2015/16 season showed that United had lost their touch when turning young gems into superstars.
      Many United fans point to executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward as the chief architect of these abysmal deals.
      While replacing the peerless David Gill was a tough assignment, and finding a man capable of replacing Fergie nigh-on impossible, there are serious questions over his approach.
      Not only are these players examples of bad deals, managers such as Jose Mourinho were dismayed that not enough players were bought.
      Marcos Rojo and Daley Blind were picked up in 2014 off the back of good World Cup campaigns – a strategy that rarely pays off and cost the club over £30m.
      And although Matteo Darmian was an Italian international when plucked from Torino, Louis van Gaal’s exit cast him to the fringes.
      Rounding off this worst XI are two short-term signings that never got to grips with the Premier League.
      Few have flopped in the Prem like Di MariaCredit: PA:Empics Sport
      Falcao struggled both at United and ChelseaCredit: PA:Empics Sport

      Perhaps the Red Devils thought they were pulling off a cunning piece of Andrea Pirlo-esque business when bringing in Bastian Schweinsteiger but, at 31, the German was far past his best during an 18-month spell.
      Radamel Falcao was still in his late-20s when arriving on loan in 2014 on a £6m fee and massive wage combination yet hit just four goals in 29 games.
      Of course, not all of Fergie’s signings hit the right note – just ask Kleberson, Eric Djemba Djemba or Juan-Sebastian Veron.

      And plenty of the world’s biggest clubs are clamouring for his signature.
      But Manchester United look to have been given a boost with the forward’s heart thought to be set on England.
      According to Sky Germany, both Haaland and Dortmund would rather he left for the Premier League – rather than Bayern Munich.
      The Norwegian kicked off the new season by slamming a hat-trick past Wehen Wiesbaden in the first round of Dortmund’s DFB-Pokal defence, taking his Dortmund tally to 60 goals in 60 games.
      Reporter Jesco von Eichmann said: “Haaland seems to be very happy here.
      “All the transfer rumours of the last weeks and months seem not to have affected him.

      BETTING SPECIAL – GET MAN UTD AT 7/1 OR LEEDS AT 40/1
      “If Dortmund were to sell him, they would prefer not to sell him within the Bundesliga because they know how strong he is and how many goals he scores.
      “If they have to lose him, they would prefer to lose him to the Premier League or LaLiga.
      “I cannot imagine Bayern Munich signing Erling Haaland next summer because Erling Haaland is dreaming of the Premier League.
      “I don’t think he will stay in Germany.”
      Haaland’s £65million release clause can be activated next summer.
      Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is a huge fan of his compatriot and United desperately need a long-term solution up front with Edinson Cavani turning 35 this season.

      Barcelona and Real Madrid are in financial ruin so would struggle to secure a move.
      Chelsea signed Romelu Lukaku for a club-record £97.5m this week while Manchester City want to wrap up a mega deal for Harry Kane.
      But Bayern Munich have already declared their intention to land the former Molde man, who is rated at around £150m.

      Man Utd outcast Andreas Pereira ‘wanted by Everton’ on loan transfer but Red Devils only interested in permanent deal

      by

      EVERTON have approached Manchester United about a move for Andreas Pereira, reports say. Pereira spent last season on loan at Lazio having continued to struggle for games at Old Trafford.

      The midfielder scored a wonder goal against Brentford in pre-season, reminding clubs of his talent a sUnoted look to move him on.
      And according to Fabrizio Romano, Everton are among several looking to take the Belgian-born, Brazil international on loan.
      But United are understood to be prioritising a permanent deal for the unsettled playmaker.
      Pereira, 25, moved to Old Trafford in 2015, but has struggled to cement a place in the first team.
      During his time at the club, he has been loaned out to Granada, Valencia and most recently Lazio.
      At the end of the last campaign, the Serie A giants enquired about signing Pereira on a permanent deal – but were told to stump up around £21million.
      Instead, Lazio turned their attentions to Felipe Anderson, who they snapped up from West Ham in a £3m deal.

      Fenerbahce are also a side reported to have thrown their hat in the ring for Pereira’s services.
      The Turkish giants have enquired about his transfer valuation, but are said to be reluctant to pay his £21m fee.
      According to the report by TNT Sports, United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer kept in regular contact with Pereira when he was on loan in Italy.
