      Man Utd ‘make contact with Barcelona over Ousmane Dembele transfer as Solskjaer looks to add for Prem title push’

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED have reportedly opened talks over a transfer swoop for Barcelona’s Ousmane Dembele.The 24-year-old has struggled to make an impact at the Nou Camp since his big-money arrival from Borussia Dortmund in 2017 due to injuries.

      But last season he did manage to find some form, and with 13 goals in 48 games, convinced the club to offer him a new contract.
      His current arrangement ends at the end of the campaign and he will be free to leave for nothing – although his team did meet Barca officials before the recent clash with Granada to begin talks over an extension.
      Spanish outlet El Nacional reports that contact has already been made by United with France international forward.
      The Red Devils have allegedly informed Dembele’s representatives of their desire to bring him to Old Trafford on a freebie in June.
      Ole Gunnar Solskjaer may have Cristiano Ronaldo back in his ranks but the midweek defeat to West Ham highlighted his lack of firepower elsewhere.
      United, who rested the Portuguese legend, were dumped out of the Carabao Cup thanks to a 1-0 home loss.

      Anthony Martial failed to take his opportunity and he could be one of those sold to make room for Dembele within the attacking ranks.
      United are believed to be demanding around £40m for the French ace.

      Edinson Cavani also looks set to leave at the end of season and return to South America once his deal expires.

      Anthony Martial’s body language is ‘HORRIBLE to watch’ and striker ‘has not done enough at Man Utd’, slams Dion Dublin

      by

      ANTHONY MARTIAL’S body language at Manchester United is ‘horrible’, according to Dion Dublin.And the Frenchman has apparently ‘not done enough’ to justify a spot as the Red Devils’ No 9.

      Martial put in another abject performance as United lost 1-0 at home to West Ham in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.
      The 25-year-old is now 14 games without a goal – having not scored since February.
      And Dublin – who played for United between 1992-94 – says Martial doesn’t want to put in the required work to be the club’s main striker.
      Speaking after the Hammers’ first win at Old Trafford since 2007, Dublin told BBC 5 Live: “We need to see more from Martial, we have said it many times before but he is not helping his cause.
      “I want to see him sweating and putting the ball in the back of the net.
      “He has not done enough since being at United, you see flashes and think it is the start then he doesn’t do anything.

      “His body language is horrible to watch, he doesn’t want to run around and work hard to be Manchester United’s No 9.
      “There were too many parts in the game where Manchester United did not do enough, the final third was poor.”
      United paid an initial £36million for Martial from Monaco in 2015 and will let him go if they get a £40m bid in January.
      He has 78 goals in 263 appearances after scoring on his debut against Liverpool.
      Fans online were also unhappy with Martial’s West Ham showing.
      One wrote: “Martial’s career is finished at Man Utd if we’re being honest.”
      Another United fan account tweeted: “If 36-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo could track back, defend and run up and down the pitch, what excuse does 25-year-old Martial have?
      ⚽ Read our Man United live blog for the latest news and transfer gossip from Old Trafford
      “Slow, uninterested and static up front. Makes it hard to defend him.”
      And Ryan posted: “Genuinely think I put more effort making my cup of tea this morning than Martial did tonight. This is Man Utd’s #9.”
      SunSport explored five Premier League clubs Martial could move to in January after it emerged he is reportedly willing to stay in England if he leaves Old Trafford.

      Five Prem destinations for Anthony Martial including Arsenal and Tottenham as Man Utd ‘put striker on transfer list’

      by

      ANTHONY MARTIAL has reportedly been put up for sale by Manchester United.Eurosport claims the Red Devils are willing to accept just £40million in January as they look to lose his £250,000-a-week wages.

      But after Martial rejected a deadline day move to Lyon in the summer transfer window, it’s believed he wants to stay in the Premier League.
      Will there be any English takers for the 25-year-old France international this winter?
      Here, we look at five potential Prem destinations for Martial.
      ARSENAL
      The Gunners are no strangers to doing business with United, with the likes of Danny Welbeck and Henrikh Mkhitaryan winding their way to the Emirates from Old Trafford.
      Alexandre Lacazette’s time appears to be up under Mikel Arteta, while Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang isn’t getting any younger.
      Martial is flexible enough to suit Arsenal’s fluid attack and could be the ideal man to slot in alongside Bukayo Saka up top.

      TOTTENHAM
      Harry Kane is clearly Spurs’ undisputed No1 striker – but what if the England captain finally gets his wish and leaves?
      Even if Kane doesn’t go, Tottenham are still without a good back-up player.
      And with Martial’s ability to play on the wing, he could even feature alongside Kane under Nuno Espirito Santo.
      Nuno Espirito Santo needs support – or potentially a replacement – for Harry Kane
      MANCHESTER CITY
      Pep Guardiola famously failed to replace Sergio Aguero over the summer.
      There’s no love lost between City and United, but if business is involved, both sides would be willing to put their differences aside.
      Martial could be a great forward for Pep’s style of play, and would surely jump at the chance to move to the Etihad.

      LIVERPOOL
      Roberto Firmino is just not cutting it for Jurgen Klopp at the moment.
      Diogo Jota is a good option, but Martial would provide Liverpool’s front three with even more flair and sharper finishing.
      The only question would be whether the two rivals are willing to hold talks with each other!
      WEST HAM
      David Moyes has shown he’s not afraid of targeting big players, having landed Kurt Zouma from Chelsea over the summer.
      The Hammers were hurt by Michail Antonio’s absence in their heartbreaking defeat to United at the weekend.
      And Martial could quickly become Moyes’ No1 forward if being regularly fed by the likes of Said Benrahma.

      Man Utd striker Anthony Martial ‘available for £40m transfer in January and willing to join Prem rival’

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED will accept offers of £40million for Anthony Martial in January, according to reports.And the Frenchman is reportedly willing to join a Premier League rival.

      The 25-year-old forward had been tipped to leave Old Trafford following the arrivals of Jadon Sancho and Cristiano Ronaldo.
      He rejected a deadline day move to Lyon.
      But he could still leaving during the next transfer window, according to Eurosport.
      Martial has three years left on his £250,000-a-week Old Trafford deal.
      And his wages could be a sticking point when it comes to finding a new club.
      United have informed the striker’s representatives they are happy to let him go in the new year.

      BETTING SPECIAL – GET JOSHUA TO WIN IN ROUNDS 1-6 AT 60/1 OR ANYTIME AT 25/1
      But Martial is said to be concerned the £40m tag may price him out of a move.
      Atletico Madrid showed interest before re-signing his countryman Antoine Griezmann from Barcelona.
      And the Catalan giants are also said to be considering a move for the Red Devils man – but not until next summer.
      As a result, Martial is said to be open to a switch to another Premier League side.
      However, he would much rather stay and be a part of United plans – though that looks unlikely.
      He scored seven in 36 matches last season but has failed to find the net in five games this campaign – four of which were brief showings off the bench.
      SunSport exclusively revealed this month Martial is one of seven stars United are looking to offload in January.
      Donny van de Beek, Jesse Lingard, Phil Jones and Eric Bailly are among those who may be sold.

      Full-backs Diogo Dalot and Alex Telles could also go.
      Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is looking to add to his transfer kitty by offloading some of his squad, who are not expected to feature much in his starting XI.
      It is also understood a number of his younger stars are available for loan, as the club look to get them more game-time.

      Man Utd line up Tottenham’s record signing Ndombele as shock Pogba transfer replacement if midfielder leaves

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED are interested in signing Tottenham midfielder Tanguy Ndombele, according to reports.It’s believed the Red Devils will try to sign the France international, 24, if Paul Pogba leaves Old Trafford next summer.

      According to Italian outlet CalcioMercato, Man Utd want to ‘protect’ themselves from losing Pogba, 28, at the end of the season.
      Pogba’s current deal expires in June and it’s unclear at this stage whether he will put pen to paper on a contract extension.
      And rumours suggest the Premier League side have identified Ndombele as a potential replacement for the World Cup winner.
      The Spurs ace made his first Prem appearance of the season against Chelsea on Sunday and his commitment has come into question.
      Ndombele reportedly wants to leave North London but Spurs chief Daniel Levy has slapped a £55million price tag on him.
      Tottenham signed the player from Lyon for an initial £55m in July 2019, with that figure rising to a club record £65m.

      Ndombele, a seven-cap international, has failed to flourish in England since the move, featuring in 55 Prem fixtures to date.
      Man Utd are also believed to be interested in AC Milan star Franck Kessie, 24, as a replacement for Pogba.
      The Ivory Coast international has been a key part of Milan’s midfield since his move from Atalanta in June 2017, playing 145 Serie A games.
      According to Transfermarkt, Kessie is valued at £49.5m – meaning he could be a slightly cheaper option than Ndombele.
      Both rumours depend on Pogba’s situation and the player’s agent Mino Raiola has hinted he could stay at Man Utd or sign for Juventus.
      He said: “Paul Pogba is out of contract in June, so we’ll talk with Man Utd and we’ll see what happens. Juventus? Paul still loves Turin.”

      Lingard returned to haunt his old club by coming off the bench on Sunday to fire United to a 2-1 win.
      Boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is attempting to convince the midfielder to extend his contract at Old Trafford after his successful turnaround.
      But Lingard still has not started a game and has been restricted to just 63 minutes of action – leading to Neville’s reiteration.
      He said during his podcast on Sky Sports: “I still maintain he should’ve left but he will have his moments.
      “I was happy to see how he bounced back after what happened in Europe in midweek.
      “To bounce back and score the winner is a fantastic moment for him.”

      Neville added: “He’s got good character, he’s a very good player and I feel he should be playing 40-45 games a season.
      “He won’t get that at United in terms of 90-minute starts but he’s one of those players that I do feel United will benefit from having. 
      “I just thought for Jesse himself, he should’ve left.
      “United could be a better team with someone like Lingard in it.”

      Atletico Madrid ‘REJECTED chance to sign Cristiano Ronaldo’ in summer transfer window overs fears of epic fan backlash

      But Atletico rejected the opportunity over fears of a furious fan backlash, with Ronaldo a legend at rivals Real Madrid.
      The Portugal star, 36, instead found his way back to Manchester United on deadline day, despite being linked with Real and Man City.
      And Atleti instead ended up bolstering their attack by re-signing Antoine Griezmann from Barcelona.
      Ronaldo has been a smash hit since returning to England, scoring four goals in just three games under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
      The veteran was on target as United beat West Ham 2-1 at the London Stadium on Sunday.
      And Ronnie showed his delight at the result with an Instagram post.

      It read: “Every game in the Premier League is always an amazing fight for the three points.
      “Today we got to see a glimpse of all the obstacles that we will find on our way, but we have to keep our mind set on our goals.
      “Together! Strong! Focused! Let’s go, Devils!”
      But despite Ronaldo’s second Old Trafford dance, boss Solskjaer is refusing to entertain talk of winning the title.
      He said: “You’re not going to get me on that one now.

      “It’s five games into the season. I was probably down and out and lost my job yesterday. That’s the way it is at Man United.
      “We deserved three points. It’s a hard place to come, here. Hopefully these points can make a difference.
      “Let’s see [about the title] when we get towards April and May.”

      Cristiano Ronaldo reaches Alexis Sanchez and Angel Di Maria’s Man Utd goal tally in Premier League after just TWO games

      CRISTIANO RONALDO has already equalled the Premier League goal tally of both Alexis Sanchez and Angel Di Maria at Manchester United after just TWO games.The 36-year-old netted a brace on his second debut for the club as the Red Devils beat Newcastle 4-1 at Old Trafford.

      And he then added another at the London Stadium on Sunday during Man Utd’s 2-1 victory over West Ham.
      Ronaldo’s instant success in front of goal is more than can be said for two of the club’s biggest flops in the No7 shirt.
      Sanchez joined Man Utd from Arsenal in January 2018 but would spend just 18 months there before being farmed out on loan to Inter Milan.
      The Chilean forward scored just three times in 32 Premier League appearances as he failed to ever establish himself as a first team regular at the Theatre of Dreams.
      And the same could be said for fellow South American Di Maria.
      The Argentine arrived at United in 2014 for a huge £59.7million but would go on to leave the club the following summer.

      During a dreadful campaign, Di Maria scored just three times in 27 Premier League games and left with his tail between his legs.
      He then went on to join Paris Saint-Germain where he remains to this day having scored a much-improved 52 times in 174 matches.
      The curse of Man Utd’s No7 shirt can also be seen in several other players who failed to find the back of the net with any sort of regularity.

      These include former England striker Michael Owen and Barcelona newboy Memphis Depay.
      Ronaldo acquired the No7 shirt from Edinson Cavani after the Uruguayan scored 10 league goals last season.
      Next up for Man Utd in the Prem is a home game against Aston Villa on Saturday, but before then they face West Ham in the EFL Cup on Wednesday.
