      How Brighton could line up next season with Dan James and Joe Rodon but no Ben White after transfer spree

      by

      BRIGHTON are in danger of losing defender Ben White, with several Premier League giants reportedly after the England star.But manager Graham Potter is believed to be interested in reinvesting some of White’s transfer fee on two of his former players.

      The ex-Swansea boss is rumoured to be interested in working with Manchester United winger Dan James again.
      The 23-year-old played 33 Championship games under Potter during the 2018-19 season before moving to the Red Devils for a reported £15million.
      James featured just 15 times in the Premier League for United last term and could be persuaded by the promise of regular top-flight football.
      Rodon was also a regular under Potter at Swansea during the 2018-19 campaign, playing 27 Championship games at centre-back.
      The 23-year-old went on to join Spurs last October but, like James, struggled to get on the pitch, making just 14 appearances in all competitions.
      Rodon could replace White in Brighton’s defence as he’s been rumoured to be on the verge of leaving the south coast.

      Arsenal are the favourites to sign the England international but Chelsea are reportedly planning on making a last-minute offer for the player.
      Rodon would likely partner captain Lewis Dunk at their heart of Brighton’s defence with full-backs Tariq Lamptey and Dan Burn playing either side.
      Potter could continue with a 4-3-3 formation, deploying Adam Lallana, Yves Bissouma and another potential signing – Enock Mwepu – in midfield.
      Brighton are interested in buying the 23-year-old Zambia international from Red Bull Salzburg, according to The Athletic.
      Mwepu made 29 league appearances last term as Salzburg won their eighth consecutive Austrian title.

      The English coach will be hoping not to lose star midfielder Bissouma, who’s been linked with a move to several Prem clubs this summer.
      If James does swap Manchester for the seaside, he could play on the right of a front three alongside Neal Maupay and Danny Welbeck.
      Goalkeeper Robert Sanchez is likely to remain Potter’s No1 between the sticks having been included in Spain’s squad for Euro 2020.
      The 23-year-old stopper has enjoyed a remarkable rise in recent months, spending the 2019-20 season on loan at then League One side Rochdale.

      How Man Utd could line up with Camavinga, Sancho and Varane as Old Trafford transfer spending spree hits top gear

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED could have a new-look starting XI next season with £125million of new talent.Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side finished second in the Premier League last term and lost the Europa League final on penalties.
      This is how Manchester United may line up next season with three new signings

      But the Red Devils are already bolstering their squad in the transfer market.
      A £73m deal to sign Jadon Sancho has been agreed with Borussia Dortmund.
      He will complete a medical and sign his £350,000-a-week, five-year contract after England’s Euro 2020 involvement ends.
      United have been chasing a winger for the last few transfer windows and look set to add their No1 target straight into the starting XI.
      That is likely to see Sancho, 21, deployed on the wide right – often Mason Greenwood’s spot – with Marcus Rashford on the opposite flank.
      Bruno Fernandes should complete the attacking trio as the No10 in support of Edinson Cavani up top – although Solskjaer also has the likes of Anthony Martial and Dan James to call upon as well as a group of youngsters led by Amad Diallo.
      United are also chasing Eduardo Camavinga from Rennes.
      Reports suggest the two clubs are in negotiations with the 18-year-old sensation available for just £26m due to his contract expiring next summer.

      Should United beat off Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid to the teenager’s signature this summer, Camavinga may well line up with Paul Pogba as a midfield pair.
      That would see Scott McTominay, Fred and Nemanja Matic fighting for spots on the bench.
      And Raphael Varane could join his international team-mate Camavinga at Old Trafford next season.
      Like the teenager, Varane’s contract expires next year and United are keen to pounce for £50m with initial talks already underway.
      Varane, 28, would be the long-term solution to partner Harry Maguire in the centre of defence between Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Luke Shaw with Victor Lindelof, Eric Bailly and Axel Tuanzebe failing to convince.
      Goalkeepers David De Gea and Dean Henderson look on course to battle it out between the sticks once again.

      But with just one year remaining on his contract, the towering defender wants to try something new.
      The Red Devils finally wrapped up the £73million signing of Jadon Sancho this week.
      And club chiefs want to follow up the statement purchase by recruiting Varane.
      According to Spanish newspaper Sport, the feeling is mutual, with Varane eager to join United and telling them as much.
      They also claim that his Real Madrid departure this summer is ‘inevitable’.
      ABC Sports even claim that Varane has agreed personal terms with the Red Devils.

      They could, however, find a compromise.
      SunSport exclusively revealed on Saturday that United could sweeten a deal by including midfielder Donny van de Beek.
      The Dutchman, 24, has struggled at Old Trafford, making just four starts in the Premier League since joining for £35m last summer.
      Real Madrid remain keen on him, however, having nearly signed him last year.
      The LaLiga giants are struggling financially, but United’s co-operation could help move along a deal for Varane.
      Madrid want to take Van de Beek initially on loan, paying a £2m fee upfront before buying him permanently next summer.
      He returned to United pre-season training this morning, but where he’ll be playing his football next term remains up in the air.

      Sancho was one of the stars of the show with a strong performance, despite only featuring for six minutes in the tournament prior to his Rome display.
      And speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live afterwards, he confirmed his sole attention is on all matters Three Lions with a semi-final against Denmark at Wembley on Wednesday.
      The ex-Manchester City youngster said: “To be fair, I don’t want to talk about Manchester United.

      Speaking about the 4-0 win over Ukraine, he added: “I’m feeling over the moon.
      “Today was must-win and I’m just happy to have got an opportunity to play. This is a special moment for me.
      “Every time I haven’t been playing I’ve been going back to training and been giving it everything.
      “We knew today was going to be a big game, Ukraine are a very good side. I’m delighted.”
      The Match of the Day pundits waxed lyrical over the wide man, who got the nod over the likes of Jack Grealish, Marcus Rashford and Phil Foden.

      Host Gary Lineker said: “He’s a player that obviously a lot of people at home wouldn’t have seen too frequently because he’s been playing at Dortmund.
      “But I think it’s quite clear to see Manchester United have got something special.”
      L’Equipe were notoriously harsh in their ratings, giving Sancho just a four – the lowest score of any Three Lions starter.
      But Rio Ferdinand likes what he sees and added: “This isn’t a surprise. This is what German fans have been seeing for three years in the Bundesliga.
      “He dances past these guys like he’s on the dancefloor, moves and they don’t know where they are.
      “He mesmerises defenders, he’s got a confidence and balance that is very rarely seen.
      “And once he gets up to speed, this kid, he’s unplayable – and at the end of that, normally, there’s a pass and a weighted pass and decision making that goes beyond his years.”

      Van De Beek returns to Man Utd pre-season training after Euro 2020 heartache as star is linked with Real Madrid transfer

      by

      DONNY VAN DE BEEK has returned to pre-season training at Manchester United amid speculation surrounding his future.The Dutchman, 24, endured a nightmare first season at Old Trafford that culminated in him missing Euro 2020 through injury.

      Ole Gunnar Solskjaer still believes in the midfielder, however, and has been impressed by his dedicated attitude.
      Having got over his injury, Van de Beek is now back at Carrington to begin gearing up for next season.
      Man United posted a number of pictures of last summer’s £35million signing working out in the gym.
      In the images, he can be seen peddling away on an exercise bike and lifting weights in the Red Devils’ state of the art gym.
      Van de Beek is ready to get into peak physical fitness for the beginning of the 2021-22 campaign next month.
      But where he’ll be playing his football is anybody’s guess.
      Man United haven’t ruled out persevering with him, with Solskjaer still believing in his talent.
      They have turned down an approach from former club Ajax to take him back on loan.

      But United chiefs could be tempted by Real Madrid.
      The Red Devils are chasing a £50million move for Madrid defender Raphael Varane.
      And the Spanish giants’ interest in Van de Beek could help United drive the price down for their French star – who only has one year remaining on his contract.
      Real Madrid are big admirers of Van de Beek, having even agreed personal terms with him last summer.

      The move fell through, however, after Madrid failed to shift unwanted midfielders.
      But they have remained in contact with Van de Beek’s representatives, and could ask for him to be included in a deal for Varane.
      They are willing to pay a £2million loan fee upfront, with a commitment to buy him outright next summer.
      Real Madrid are currently in financial difficulty, but expect to be in a healthier situation in 12 months’ time.
