      Man Utd fans hail ‘agent’ Luke Shaw over Declan Rice holiday bromance as England pals relax in Mykonos

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED fans hailed ‘agent’ Luke Shaw after striking up a bromance with Declan Rice. The England pair are on holiday together in Mykonos after starring at Euro 2020.
      Luke Shaw and Declan Rice have struck up a bromance over the summer
      They have been letting their hair down on the Greek island in the week after their final heartbreak against Italy, going out for food and enjoying the swimming pool with ocean views.
      Fellow England heroes Kyle Walker, Mason Mount, Ben Chilwell, Jack Grealish, Kalvin Philips and Ben White are there too – as is snooker hero Judd Trump.
      The Manchester City right-back was filmed belting out a rendition of Sweet Caroline as they dined out at a restaurant.
      But Red Devils supporters’ eyes were drawn to Shaw and Rice hanging out together – in the hope the left-back can convince the West Ham ace to join him at Old Trafford this summer.
      After seeing the pair shine on the same side at the Euros, United fans will be dreaming of them doing the same under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
      One said: “Agent Shaw working on Rice.”
      Another wrote: “Need Shaw to do the fine work of taking Declan Rice aside and coming out the other side with his mind set on United.”
      And a third added: “Agent Shaw. Keep on a Declan mate.”
      Rice was linked with a transfer to United last year and has rejected two new contract offers at West Ham.

      However, Chelsea are also monitoring his situation at the London Stadium.
      The Blues could try and lure their former youth-team player back to the club after releasing him at 14. – but would likely need to stump up at least £80million.
      Mount and Rice are best mates so would not doubt relish the chance to play together in the Premier League as well as the Champions League.

      Man Utd ‘reject Jose Mourinho’s transfer offer to bring Alex Telles to Roma on loan’

      JOSE MOURINHO has reportedly been blocked in his attempt to sign Alex Telles on loan from old club Manchester United.The Brazilian left-back only arrived at Old Trafford in a £15.3million deal from Porto last summer.

      England Euro 2020 hero Luke Shaw’s sensational performances in that position meant he only featured nine times in the Premier League.
      Meanwhile Mourinho, who began his reign at Roma with an impressive 10-0 victory, is looking for a temporary fix to his full-back problem.
      Leonardo Spinazzola is a regular in that role but he faces several months on the sidelines after he picked up an injury playing for Italy at the Euros.
      According to Sky Sports Italia, the Special One had identified Telles and approached his old employers about taking him on loan.
      But United have allegedly flat out rejected it as they want to offload the defender permanently.
      However, a deal seems some way off as they are believed to be only interested in a loan arrangement.
      The 28-year-old already has experience of Serie A.
      He made 22 appearances for Inter Milan while on loan at the San Siro in the 2015/16 season.

      Lingard is back at his boyhood club after a brilliant loan spell with the Hammers in the second half of last season reignited his career.
      He scored nine goals in 16 appearances for the East London side and was the Premier League Player of the Month award for April.
      It also earned Lingard an England recall as part of Gareth Southgate’s initial Euro 2020 squad.
      He appeared in both warm-up friendlies against Austria and Romania but just failed to make the final cut for the tournament.
      Lingard has recently enjoyed a holiday in Mykonos and headed back to United after a stint in quarantine after his jollies.
      West Ham still want to sign the star permanently but have so far been unable to agree a fee with the Red Devils.
      However, Lingard will be hoping to get back into the groove this weekend.

      United kick-off their pre-season on the pitch with a friendly against Wayne Rooney’s Derby County at Pride Park on Sunday.
      Solskjaer’s team will then head to a training camp before further friendlies against QPR, Brentford, Preston and Everton.
      They begin their top-flight campaign on August 14 with a home clash against Leeds.

      Man Utd close in on Raphael Varane AND Kieran Trippier transfers in £68m double swoop to bolster defence

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED are close to completing a double defensive swoop for Raphael Varane and Kieran Trippier.Both deals are all but done with announcements expected towards the end of next week.

      And Kieran Trippier is also set to move to Old Trafford from Atletico MadridCredit: Getty
      United look set to hand Real Madrid a £50million fee for Varane, 28, despite the French international centre-back having just one year left on his Bernabeu contract.
      England full-back Trippier, 30, wants the move to Old Trafford after two successful years at Atletico Madrid — and a transfer worth £18m is in the final stages.
      The two deals will take United’s spending to more than £140m this summer with the arrival of winger Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund for £73m.
      Spanish giants Real initially wanted £60m for Varane but have to sell now to get a fee having lost Sergio Ramos to Paris Saint-Germain on a free.
      Varane’s representatives are understood to have negotiated terms over a five-year deal.

      Concerns over Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s distribution going forward and his defending of crosses led to boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s pursuit of Trippier.
      He also believes he could move Wan-Bissaka inside as part of a three-man backline.
      Trippier can play right-back, left-back or wing-back and was monitored by United all last season as the ex-Tottenham player won LaLiga with Atletico.

      Raphael Varane ‘gives Man Utd green light to start transfer negotiations’ after more than a decade at Real Madrid

      by

      RAPHAEL VARANE has reportedly agreed to start talks with Manchester United but only if Real Madrid give him permission.The Frenchman has been heavily linked with the Red Devils for some time but does not want to leave the Bernabeu on bad terms having spent more than a decade there.
      Raphael Varane has given the green light to talks with Man Utd if Real Madrid are ok with itCredit: Getty
      Los Blancos’ wage bill is reportedly set to be slashed by more than a third which has thrown massive doubt over the Frenchman’s future at the club.
      The financial impact of Covid-19 has hit the Spanish giants hard.
      That and a huge stadium rebuild have left Real with mounting debt – and they have not paid a fee for a player for almost two years.
      And as a result their LaLiga wage cap will be reduced from £403million to £255m next season, according to the Athletic.
      That has seen Varane, Eden Hazard and Gareth Bale all have their futures thrown up in the air.
      Some reports suggest United have already started talks with the France international.
      But Mercato say that is not the case and the 28-year-old will not start until Madrid say he can.
      Real are reluctant to sell their French stalwart, but refuse to lose him for nothing when his contract expires next year.

      He is currently still on his summer break, having played for France at Euro 2020. His side were eliminated by Switzerland.
      United’s interest in Varane has been long standing – they were even contenders to sign him before he went to Madrid as a teenager in 2011.
      The Red Devils were also keen to sign him in 2018, but couldn’t get a deal done. Madrid were initially thought to want £80million this summer.
      But due to his contract situation, they are resigned to losing him for a lot less. United are believed to be working on a package worth around £50m.
      And they hope to get the deal concluded ‘in the next few weeks’.
      Varane could be United’s second addition of the summer, after they finally agreed a deal with Dortmund for Jadon Sancho.
      They have also been linked with the likes of Pau Torres, as well as Varane’s compatriots Jules Kounde and Eduardo Camavinga.

      Man Utd star Brandon Williams’ loan transfer to Southampton hits buffers with size of loan fee causing issues

      by

      BRANDON WILLIAMS’ loan move to Southampton has hit the skids – because of the size of the loan fee.Manchester United are understood to be looking for more than £2million to let another club borrow the versatile full-back.

      Saints have been keen on the 20-year-old since last summer but see that price as too rich for their blood.
      It means a deal is looking increasingly unlikely unless United reduce their demands.
      That is despite Williams himself being keen to join as he is keen to play regular games, having started just TWO Premier League games last season.
      It is believed he would still want to quit Old Trafford temporarily even if Alex Telles joins Jose Mourinho at Roma.
      Norwich and Newcastle have also shown interest in loaning Williams.
      The youngster has made 51 appearances for United in all competitions since making his professional debut against Rochdale in the League Cup in September 2019.
      United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is willing to let a number of youngsters head out on loan this summer.
      He recently told the club website: “We’ve already lined up a few and some of them are still in discussions between us and the players about where is the best place to go.”

      Meanwhile, Tottenham face a battle to sign Danny Ings and Jannik Vestergaard this summer – because of how their relationship with Southampton went sour this time last year over the sale of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.
      Saints resented how Spurs went about their move to land Hojbjerg, who eventually left for North London in a £15million deal before going on to have a terrific season for club and country.
      The St Marys outfit do not want to sell star man Ings anyway, despite his refusal to extend his contract which runs out next summer, unless they receive a huge bid they cannot refuse.
      Hojbjerg’s Denmark team-mate Vestergaard, like Ings, has a year remaining on his contract.
      Tottenham are also believed to be interested in ex-Swansea loanee Renato Sanches but face competition from North London rivals Arsenal.

      Giovanni Di Lorenzo’s agent addresses Man Utd transfer links and says Italy star will ‘consider’ offers

      by

      GIOVANNI DI LORENZO is open to a potential Manchester United switch, according to a representative of the Italy international. The Napoli full-back, who was one of the Azzurri’s best performers during their triumphant Euro 2020 run, is reportedly attracting interest from Old Trafford.

      Di Lorenzo, 27, was part of the team who beat England in a dramatic final penalty shootout at Wembley. 
      The versatile right-back, who began his playing career as a striker, made six match-winning appearances for Roberto Mancini’s side during the tournament.  
      United officials are thought to have been keeping tabs on the Serie A ace for more than a year with the club reportedly making contact with the player’s reps in March 2020. 
      JOIN SUN VEGAS: GET A FREE £10 BONUS WITH 100s OF GAMES TO PLAY AND NO DEPOSIT REQUIRED (Ts&Cs apply)
      And Di Lorenzo’s agent Mario Guiffredi hinted a bid for the player – who is reportedly valued at around £17million – could be considered if Old Trafford officials made an offer. 
      Guiffredi told Radio Marte: “I read about Manchester United but now it is newspaper talk.
      “If there were real things, we would be the ones to communicate it to Napoli. At the moment no request has arrived.
      “If offers arrive, we are obliged to take them into consideration, also in the interest of Napoli, because it is the president himself who has put everyone on the market.
      “So, we feel we are on the market. If an appropriate offer arrives it’ll be discussed and considered.

      “(President Aurelio) De Laurentiis spoke at the press conference explaining Napoli’s losses, and that all his players are transferable and that, if appropriate offers arrive, he will evaluate them himself.”
      Di Lorenzo joined Napoli, who finished fifth in Serie A last season, in a £7m move from top-flight rivals Empoli in July 2019. 
      His current contract with the side is set to expire in June 2025. 
      In 2020 the Red Devils were thought to have been eyeing Di Lorenzo as potential cover for Aaron Wan-Bissaka. 
      The defender’s ability to play across the back four is thought to be appealing to the club. 
      Reports claim United are also interested in a possible swoop for Atletico Madrid and England star Kieran Trippier. 
      However, the club is thought to have been put off by Atletico’s £20million asking price for the lifelong Man United fan.

      Real Madrid are reluctant to sell their French stalwart, but refuse to lose him for nothing when his contract expires next year.
      United have been in negotiations for some time with the 28-year-old and his representatives.
      A report emerged earlier this week that the two clubs ‘are not far off’ agreeing terms.
      That said, Varane wanted to head straight to Manchester after his summer holidays, rather than have to return to pre-season training in Madrid.
      Now Diario AS claims he has already begun house hunting in the North West.
      The ace is currently still on his summer break after featuring for France at Euro 2020.
      His much-fancied side were eliminated by Switzerland a fortnight ago in the last-16.
      Man United’s interest in Varane has been long standing and they were first keen to sign him before he went to Madrid as a teenager in 2011 from Lens.

      But due to his contract situation, they are resigned to losing him for a lot less.
      United are believed to be working on a package worth around £50m.
      And they hope to get the deal concluded sooner rather than later.
      They are also expected to officially announce the arrival of England winger Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund over the coming days after he completed a medical at Carrington this week.
