      The 25-year-old’s impressive campaign bagged him a call up to England’s Euro 2020 squad and earned him plenty of admirers, including Manchester United.
      United are said to have identified the midfielder as a cheaper alternative to West Ham ace Declan Rice.
      And according to the Daily Star, Leeds would be willing to part company with their local lad for a fee of £60m.
      Despite the fierce rivalry between Leeds and United, Phillips made it clear earlier this season that he wouldn’t shut down a move to Old Trafford.
      When asked to ‘describe what Man United means’, Phillips replied with a smile on his face: “To me? It doesn’t mean anything.”
      It has, however, been reported that Phillips ‘would be reluctant to leave his hometown club’.

      But former Premier League star Trevor Sinclair reckons he’s ready to move on to pastures new.
      He said: “I think Kalvin Phillips is ready.
      “If Leeds do not really pick up this season and start threatening that top four, I think Kalvin Phillips will go.
      “I was actually quite surprised that Man Utd did not have a little look at him because when you start looking at that holding midfield role, and you have got Fred, (Scott) McTominay and (Nemanja) Matic.

      “For me, if they have got that position right, they will have a chance at really competing for the Premier League.”
      Phillips and his Leeds United team-mates will be back in action on Saturday afternoon, welcoming Watford to Elland Road.
      Manchester United, meanwhile, will welcome Spanish big boys Villarreal to Old Trafford this evening for their second Champions League Group F match.

      Man Utd forward Anthony Martial ‘wanted by Dortmund as Erling Haaland replacement but French striker is too expensive’

      by

      BORUSSIA DORTMUND are interested in signing Manchester United ace Anthony Martial, according to reports.The German giants are believed to have identified the Frenchman as a potential replacement for star forward Erling Haaland, 21.

      According to German outlet SPORT1, Dortmund are preparing to lose Haaland to a Champions League rival next summer.
      Several clubs have been linked with the Norwegian sensation, including Premier League favourites Liverpool and United.
      Haaland’s release clause is believed to be between £64million and £86m and this can reportedly be activated at the end of the season.
      This is well below his market value and in the price range of many teams, allegedly forcing Dortmund to look for a replacement.
      And it’s thought Martial is on their shortlist, with the player struggling for minutes at Old Trafford this term.
      The 30-cap international has not started a Premier League game since Red Devils icon Cristiano Ronaldo returned to the club.

      JOIN SUN VEGAS: GET A FREE £10 BONUS WITH 100s OF GAMES TO PLAY AND NO DEPOSIT REQUIRED (Ts&Cs apply)
      It’s believed Dortmund would ideally sign a player between the ages of 19 and 24, similar to Haaland’s profile.
      Martial isn’t much older than that at 25 but the Bundesliga side could be put off by Man Utd’s asking price.
      The Prem side paid an initial £36m for Martial in the summer of 2015 and it’s thought they want between £42m and £47m in return.
      The ex-Monaco star’s wages could also be a stumbling block, with Dortmund unlikely to match his significant £250,000-a-week salary.
      Dortmund are also reportedly considering Nice pair Kasper Dolberg, 23, and Amine Gouiri, 21, as potential Haaland replacements.
      Martial has scored 55 goals in 171 Premier League games for Man Utd, winning the FA Cup, League Cup and Europa League.

      Coming off the bench, Asante fired home a late equaliser to make it 1-1 after bamboozling four defenders, before rounding the goalkeeper and smashing the ball into the roof of the net.
      He was then mobbed by his jubiliant team-mates following the sensational goal, with fans believing it should be a contender to win the 2021 Fifa Puskas Award.
      His strike sent the game to penalties, which Golden Kick won to send them into the Division One League – the second-tier of Ghanaian football.
      And the club’s chairman Joseph Epton has now revealed how the Red Devils and the Citizens have held interest in the forward prior to his emphatic goal.
      He even stated that Serie A giants Juventus and Belgian side Genk are also keeping tabs on the exciting youngster after being sent videos of him in action.
      Speaking to Accra radio station Onua FM via Ghana Soccer Net, he said: “Before Mizak scored this goal we had already showed his highlights – and those of other players – to clubs abroad.
      Asante is said also be on the radar of Italian side Juventus and Belgian outfit Genk

      “But he was the only player we had feedback about.
      “It has come from Manchester United, Manchester City, Juventus and Genk.”
      Following the clash, Asante has revealed he models his game on Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe.

      Quoted by Joy FM, he remarked: “I watch a lot of players but the one I like very much is Kylian Mbappe.
      “I like how direct he is with the ball and his pace as well.
      “It’s Kylian Mbappe I really want to play like.”

      Man Utd and Chelsea monitoring Franck Kessie transfer situation with AC Milan midfielder ‘wanting Prem switch’

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED are one of several Premier League teams keeping an eye on AC Milan star Franck Kessie, according to reports.Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham and Everton are all said to be in the mix for the Ivorian following his strong form for the Italian club.
      Franck Kessie is being tracked by multiple Premier League teamsCredit: AFP
      Kessie, 24, is out of contract at the end of the season, his fifth at the San Siro.
      English clubs will therefore be able to negotiate a pre-agreement for a summer free transfer as soon as January.
      As reported by 90min, United and many Prem rivals have asked Kessie’s agent to be kept in the loop if the player decides to hear out offers.
      Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich are also named in the report but the midfielder is said to prefer a move to England, which is seen as a better fit for his playing style.
      But Milan still have a couple of months to persuade him to stay.
      Talks over a new contract are said to be at a standstill following Kessie’s rejection of a new deal.

      Reports in Italy detail Milan’s proposal to more than double his current £35,000 weekly wage to over £80,000-a-week.
      That would then rise to £105,000-a-week in the final two years of the proposed five-year contract, according to Tuttosport.
      However, Kessie is said to be seeking as much as £115,000-a-week as a starting salary, following his role in Milan’s resurgence over the past year.
      A decision will reportedly be made by the former Atalanta star in January over whether he will stick with the Rossoneri or head for pastures new.
      Should he choose to move on, Milan are described by Corriere dello Sport as increasingly confident that the emerging Sandro Tonali will step up as the key man in their midfield.

      Man Utd ‘to turn transfer attention to Leeds star Kalvin Phillips in shock move if Declan Rice deal doesn’t come off’

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED are set to turn their transfer attention to Kalvin Phillips if they fail to land Declan Rice, according to shock reports.The Red Devils want to bring in a new defensive midfielder next summer.

      Ole Gunnar Solskjaer feels the need to bolster that area with Scott McTominay, Fred and Nemanja Matic his current options.
      And according to the Daily Star, the Norwegian has identified Phillips as a primary target.
      United chased Rice for a couple of transfer windows but no deal was ever agreed – especially with West Ham demanding around £100m for their academy graduate.
      So now they are looking at his England midfield partner.
      Phillips, 25, is already securing legendary status in Leeds.
      He was born in the city, came through the youth ranks and played 218 times for the Whites – helping them back into the Premier League and then establishing themselves under Marcelo Bielsa last season.

      Gareth Southgate rates the energetic Phillips highly and trusted him to play a key role in England’s run to the Euro 2020 final this summer.
      The Yorkshire Pirlo was named England Men’s Player of the Year for last season.
      But United may have their work cut out trying to lure him from Elland Road to Old Trafford.

      As well as being arch-rivals, United would likely need to stump up at least £60m for Phillips, who is under contract until 2024.
      However, question marks over Bielsa’s future and the chance to challenge for silverware regularly could see the Phillips move on, with Manchester City also keen.
      And United have a track record of snatching Leeds’ top talent with Eric Cantona, Alan Smith and Rio Ferdinand all making the switch.

      Barcelona to launch crazy Cavani loan bid in January with Man Utd star said to be unsettled by Ronaldo

      by

      BARCELONA are rumoured to be keen on an Edinson Cavani loan swoop to strengthen their frontline following a tricky start to their season. And the Daily Star claims the Uruguay international has become unsettled at Man United following the return of Cristiano Ronaldo. 
      Barcelona are reportedly eyeing a loan move for Edinson Cavani
      The Nou Camp giants, who parted company with Lionel Messi this summer, have notched a couple of disappointing results in this term. 
      These include points dropped against Granada and Cadiz and a 3-0 home loss to Bayern Munich in the Champions League. 
      And reports claim Ronald Koeman’s position as club boss has been called into question with Belgium gaffer Roberto Martinez among those reportedly being eyed as a replacement. 
      Despite their financial concerns, the Express claims Barca chiefs are making plans for January transfers with Cavani said to be among their top targets. 
      It is thought Cavani, 34, had agreed to extend his contract with United the understanding he is still regarded as a key member of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s squad.

      The forward joined the Red Devils on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain in October 2020 following a seven-year spell with the club with whom he won six Ligue One titles and seven French Super Cups.
      However, the player has made just two appearances as a substitute for the Red Devils this season following the club’s acquisition of Ronaldo and Jadon Sancho. 
      This includes coming on in the eighth minute of United’s surprise 1-0 home loss to Aston Villa last time out.  
      Cavani netted 10 goals in 26 Prem appearances for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side last term helping them to finish second in the league. 

      The Star claims Barcelona will up the ante in their quest to bring the Uruguayan to LaLiga. 
      Reports suggest the club had hoped to sign him last summer prior to him agreeing to a new contract with the Red Devils
      It is now thought Barca are keen on a short-term deal with the former Napoli and PSG striker.

      A ‘million-dollar- dispute is ongoing between the two men, as reported by Bild.
      The case is set to be heard on Tuesday but documents revealed ahead of the hearing suggest Werner’s preferred destination was Old Trafford before he left RB Leipzig.
      In WhatsApp messages from 2019, Werner reportedly told Lokurlu United were his ‘favourites’ with Chelsea named as ‘great alternatives’.
      United, Chelsea and Liverpool are all said to have been in for Werner in 2019.

      A five-year deal on around £200,000-a-week with approximately £20m in bonuses was reportedly put on the table.
      However, Liverpool eventually signed Diogo Jota, and Chelsea swooped last June.
      The Blues paid £53m and pay him an eye-watering £270k-a-week.
      Chelsea paid through the nose for Timo Werner
      But he has failed to provide value for money so far with just 13 goals in 59 matches for the West Londoners.
      His game time looked like it would be limited this season with Romelu Lukaku hitting the ground running after his £97.5m switch from Inter Milan.
      The Belgian has four in seven and has already cemented himself as No 1 striker, but Werner could now form a surprise two-man attack with him after starting alongside Lukaku in Saturday’s defeat to Manchester City.
