SERIAL WINNERS
Man Utd have made good progression under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and they’ve got the chance to add another Europa League to the trophy cabinet before the end of the season!

MAG-IC
Harry Maguire is positive that he will make the Europa League final.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said: “When I spoke to him this morning he was positive.
“Naturally the day after he was injured everyone was very down.
“But we decided we had to focus and be positive and think he is going to make it.
“He is making progress but we have consciously made the decision not to test him out too early.
“Hopefully we will have good news but I will give it as long as possible because we know his importance.
“We have known that for a long time but maybe people appreciate it more when he is not playing.
“I became a very good player when I was injured because people realised what I could do as a sub and what I was as a player.”
ED IN THE CLOUDS
Manchester United fans will hope this won’t be the last time Edinson Cavani scoops the club gong after he extended his stay at Old Trafford.

GREEN WITH ENVY
United were reportedly unhappy at the way Mason Greenwood was treated earlier in the season.
The Mirror claim the Red Devils were displeased by the treatment the England starlet recieved following his Covid incident in Iceland.
The report adds that said whole incident left an ‘after-taste’, with some club officials at United angry at how the situation played out.
MORE FROM BOTMAN
He told the Athletic: “It was nice to hear but I was focusing on Lille and I’m still doing this. After the season I will enjoy a vacation and see what happens next.
“If I’m honest, the Premier League is one of the leagues I dreamed about… but also Serie A, La Liga, the Bundesliga. The Premier League is something special. It’s the football I really like and that fits me.
“The style of play, the emotion; I really like to see the fans with such big emotions in the stands. It is a beautiful competition I really like to watch and did for pretty much all my life.
“I’m not the kind of guy who is already planning for the future. How it’s going with me now, I hope to someday make a good step to a top competition or a big club; that’s my goal.
“But I’m good at the moment with Lille. I’m really enjoying this year, I’m enjoying playing a lot. I learn a lot and I still have to improve a lot. I’m not complaining about my situation right now, I’m happy at the moment.
“For my ambitions, yes, of course I want to achieve as much as possible. I hope to make a big, beautiful step for me. We’ll have to see in the future if that is possible or not.”

DEVIL MAY CARE
Sven Botman has admitted he would be “lying” if he claimed Manchester United’s interest doesn’t flatter him.
The Lille star told The Athletic: “It is a good compliment when you hear these clubs are interested.
“I’m lying if I say it’s not interesting me — it’s the first time such big clubs are linked to me — but it was early days because in January I was only at Lille for half a season.
“It was nice to hear but I was focusing on Lille and I’m still doing this. After the season I will enjoy a vacation and see what happens next.”
PAUL TO PLAY FOR
Paul Pogba’s stunning strike against Fulham is among the leading contenders for Manchester United’s goal of the season.

ARAM AND A LEG
Man Utd are interested in signing Getafe midfielder Mauro Arambarri, according to reports.
The Premier League giants are believed to have made contact with the 25-year-old’s representatives over a possible summer move.
According to AS, the Red Devils are one of many big European clubs monitoring the Uruguay international.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side, however, are said to be the most keen on a move and have made contact with Arambarri’s people.
The report claims United see him as a player that can complement Bruno Fernandes’ abilities.
FERGET IT
Bruno Fernandes has revealed he ‘regrets’ having not yet spoken to club legend Sir Alex Ferguson.
Speaking to the club website, Fernandes said: “That is one of my biggest regrets in the club until now.
“I met him already but never had the chance to speak with him like I would like to do.
”I think everyone who watched Manchester United in the past remembers Sir Alex. [That is true] for me, growing up and seeing the club, being a fan of the club and seeing the development of the team.
“I would like to have a conversation with him and understand, from his point of view, what he thinks about me and what I can improve or still improve in my game to be better.”

EURO FEAR
Sports minister Nigel Huddleston admits the Indian Covid variant is a threat to getting fans back into stadiums.
He hailed the success of Saturday’s FA Cup Final which saw 21,000 spectators at Wembley as Leicester beat Chelsea 1-0.
Huddleston said: “This was the biggest sporting event – in fact, this is the biggest event – in the UK for 14 months.
“The biggest gathering of over 20,000 for 14 months and that’s quite a milestone really. The fact we’ve got to this point is quite remarkable.
“We couldn’t have done it had we not felt comfortable with the roadmap, had the vaccination programme not gone well and other test events had gone well.
“So that in itself must be seen as a success. But variants are called variants of concern for a reason – they are of concern.
“There’s no doubt we are worried about them but we always would be. We want to get as many fans as possible into stadiums again.
“I’m hoping we get there, I’m hoping we’ll get to capacity crowds soon but it depends entirely on the variants of concern but it’s a goal and has been all along.”

BIG MONEY SIGNINGS
Lots and lots of money has been spent!

SAN THE MAN 
Liverpool are reconsidering a move for Borussia Dortmund and England forward Jadon Sancho, according to reports.
The 21-year-old has scored 16 goals and provided a further 18 assists in 36 games for the German side this season.
And his supreme form has caught the eye of Premier League sides Manchester United and Chelsea.
But after passing up any interest in him last season, Bild reporter Christian Faulkner has revealed that Liverpool are now back in the running for the talented youngster.
He said: “That is indeed, true, Liverpool are looking at Sancho again.
“He is on the list, especially because they don’t know what will happen with [Mohamed] Salah, who is always a bit on the move and thinking about a transfer.
“Chelsea are also very interested, as we have reported, and also Spain lures him again and again.
“If Salah were to be sold or he says he doesn’t want to be at the club any more then there would surely be movement on Sancho with Liverpool.”
Man Utd were heavily linked with Sancho throughout last summer as Dormund set an asking price of more than £100million.
But it is thought that the Bundesliga side could lower the price to as much as £50m this time around.

WONDERKID
Mason Greenwood has had a fantastic second half to the 2020/21 season.
The 19-year-old has scored 12 goals and provided six assists across all competitions.

MAGUIRE UPDATE
Harry Maguire is positive that he will make the Europa League final.
Maguire is on crutches and is wearing a protective boot after damaging ankle ligaments just over a week ago against Aston Villa.
It left manager Ole Solskjaer fearing the worst ahead of the final against Villarreal in Gdansk a week on Wednesday.
But the latest update has been more positive and Solskjaer says he will give his captain right up until the last minute to prove his fitness. 
Solskjaer said: “When I spoke to him this morning he was positive.
“Naturally the day after he was injured everyone was very down.
“But we decided we had to focus and be positive and think he is going to make it.
“He is making progress but we have consciously made the decision not to test him out too early.
“Hopefully we will have good news but I will give it as long as possible because we know his importance.
“We have known that for a long time but maybe people appreciate it more when he is not playing.
“I became a very good player when I was injured because people realised what I could do as a sub and what I was as a player.”
United have conceded six goals in two games since Maguire’s injury losing both to Leicester and Liverpool.
SERIAL WINNERS
Man Utd have made good progression under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and they’ve got the chance to add another Europa League to the trophy cabinet before the end of the season!

MESSI TO MANCHESTER
Lionel Messi’s camp have ‘put feelers out’ to Man Utd and Chelsea over a potential transfer, according to the Daily Express.
Messi could leave Barcelona this summer with his contract running out at the end of June.
Pep Guardiola’s Man City remain keen on the global superstar, with Pep keen to reunite with one of the greatest of all time.
And today could be Messi’s last appearance at the Camp Nou as a Barcelona player against Celta Vigo.
GOAL OF THE SEASON
Does Anthony Martial’s strike against Southampton win Goal of the Season, Man Utd fans?

CUP UPSET
Rio Ferdinand revealed his regret at never winning the FA Cup and admitted: ‘It still grates’. 
The Manchester United legend won six Premier League titles, two League Cups and one Champions League during his time at Old Trafford.
But he never once lifted the oldest prize in the book, losing in finals against Arsenal in 2005 and Chelsea in 2007. 
In the latter loss Didier Drogba’s extra-time winner meant Ferdinand had to settle for a silver medal, and he still struggles with it. 
He said on BT Sport during yesterday’s final: “It still grates, definitely. I’m sitting here looking at it (the trophy) and I want to launch it. 
“They were bad moments. I was lucky enough to win quite a lot of stuff in my career.
“But I tell you, I probably spend more time even in retirement thinking about not getting my hands on that trophy.”
“Sitting here looking at the trophy, I want to launch it!””You just want the ground to swallow you up, it’s terrible.”@rioferdy5 never tasted glory in an #EmiratesFACup final…And it’s clear the feeling of getting so close still hurts. pic.twitter.com/yvtHLo8N2e— Football on BT Sport (@btsportfootball) May 15, 2021

VA VA VOOM
Man Utd are holding talks with Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane, according to the Manchester Evening News.
But the Red Devils are joined in the pursuit for the World Cup winning defender by rivals Liverpool.
The report states that Man Utd will go ‘all out’ for a centre-back this summer, as they look to close the gap on champions-elect Man City.
And with a year left on his current deal, Real could struggle to command a high transfer fee.
The Frenchman could decide to see next season out and leave for free.
‘IT MIGHT NOT BE POSSIBLE’
Former Sunderland striker Kevin Phillips believes that West Ham may not be able to sign Jesse Lingard permanently this summer.
Phillips believes finances will get in the way of Lingard making the permanent move from Manchester to London.
Speaking to Football Insider, he said: “Financially, signing Lingard, it might not be possible.
“It might be hard to sign him even if they do make the Champions League, which isn’t great if you’re a supporter.
“It was another blow for them against Brighton which is a shame because what a story it would be if they got Champions League football.
“Either way, West Ham will look at signing him. Financially, if it’s not viable and it will break the bank, they won’t do it.
“Especially in today’s climate. Champions League does help so it will be interesting to see what happens there.”
MAIN MAN BRUNO
Bruno Fernandes has the most goals and assists for Man Utd in the Premier League!
He has been phenomenal yet again this season.

HAIRAWAY THE LADS!
Newcastle boast the highest number of bald fans in the Premier League — with many blaming the stress of supporting them.
A poll found 49 per cent of followers of the Toon Army have lost their locks — above the national average for men of 39 per cent.
And the average for Premier League fans is 30 per cent.
Researchers at BuzzBingo.com asked 2,000 male Premier League fans if they are bald or balding and asked which club they support.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s Man Utd side are in 8th spot with 36 per cent of their supporters sporting a bald look.

The report claims United see him as a player that can complement Bruno Fernandes’ abilities.
And as Arambarri has a rumoured €25million release clause – around £21.5m – he would come relatively cheap in today’s market.
There are even rumours that Getafe would accept as little as £17m for the midfielder.

GOOD MORNING UNITED FANS
Edinson Cavani will hit a six-figure jackpot if he is a chart-topper in his second season at Old Trafford.
The Manchester United striker agreed a deal to stay for another 12 months, as Sunsport revealed he had been offered a pay hike to £250,000-a-week.
And the Uruguay forward could earn close to the same again in bonuses if he is in the goals next season.
Cavani, 34, will pick up an extra £100,000 if he is United’s leading scorer – and a similar amount if he ends up as the Premier League’s Golden Boot winner.
It is also understood that United will promise the South American a rolling annual review, which could even see him staying in England for another season beyond the next one.
Meanwhile, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has admitted that Manchester United miss club captain Harry Maguire.
He said: “Harry [Maguire] has been really important for us so of course we’re going to miss him but he’s out so we have to deal with that.
“It’s about regrouping and building our own confidence again as we have two games and a final.
“The attitude was right and the focus was fine, we were ready for it. We didn’t build on the good times.
“We should have gone more for it at the start of the game. Sometimes we let them off the hook and let them play out.
“Tuesday. We need to find ourselves straight away. We need to build that momentum and confidence. We should go into that final ready.”And finally, United are reportedly in ‘pole position’ for signing Jadon Sancho.
Sport1 claim the winger is keen on making a switch to Old Trafford as United ‘will remain’ the club of his choice.
The report adds that talks between the Red Devils and the Borussia Dortmund star’s agent are ‘already underway.’

Jose Mourinho wants to take Newcastle winger Allan Saint-Maximin to Italy as part of his Roma revolution, according to reports.
The former Man Utd boss will take over the sleeping Serie A giants in the summer.
It is understood Mourinho, 58, will be given a healthy transfer budget to get the Giallorossi into the Champions League.
And, according to Corriere della Sera, the Portuguese boss has identified the tricky Toon winger as a top target.
CHELSEA 0 LEICESTER 1
Youri Tielemans glorious strike gave Leicester FA Cup final glory at the fifth attempt as Chelsea had a last-minute goal controversially ruled out on VAR.
Tielemans hit a 25-yard top-corner special on 63 minutes – before the video assistant referee adjudged Blues’ sub Ben Chilwell millimetres offside when his cross was deflected home by Foxes’ sub Wes Morgan.

ANT MAN
A timely reminder of the added quality Anthony Martial will add to Manchester United’s front-line when he returns from injury.

A STEP TOO VAR
Manchester United will need to bid £60million to if they want to sign Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane, according to reports.
The Red Devils are believed to be interested in the France international but their rumoured £40m bid will not be enough to sign him.
According to Spanish newspaper AS, Real Madrid want €70m – around £60m – for Varane, who is out of contract at the end of next season.

RAF RIDE
Liverpool have reportedly joined Manchester United in the race for Real Madrid centre-back Raphael Varane.
According to the Manchester Evening News, the Reds have held talks with the Frenchman’s entourage about a move to Anfield in the summer.
Los Blancos could cash in on the defender with the player having just a year left on his contract.
ARAM AND A LEG
Man Utd are interested in signing Getafe midfielder Mauro Arambarri, according to reports.
The Premier League giants are believed to have made contact with the 25-year-old’s representatives over a possible summer move.
According to AS, the Red Devils are one of many big European clubs monitoring the Uruguay international.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side, however, are said to be the most keen on a move and have made contact with Arambarri’s people.
The report claims United see him as a player that can complement Bruno Fernandes’ abilities.
And as Arambarri has a rumoured €25million release clause – around £21.5m – he would come relatively cheap in today’s market.
There are even rumours that Getafe would accept as little as £17m for the midfielder.

GREEN GROCER
Edinson Cavani believes Mason Greenwood can achieve big things in the future.
Speaking of Greenwood, he said: “I believe that as players, when we reach a certain point in the elite level of the game, as we are today, I think that if you set yourself targets, if you really want something, if you focus on something that you really want to achieve for yourself and for your team, you can achieve it.
“You can improve, you can grow as a player, you can be even better.
“It depends on him, as it depends on each one of our forwards.
“They’re all young strikers who have a long career ahead of them, and it will be down to them how they want to improve and blossom as players.”
GOAL OF THE DAY
What a strike this was from Mark Hughes in the European Cup Winners’ Cup final against Barcelona in 1991.
Take a look at his finish below.

ALL ABROAD
Man Utd have boasted some of the finest foreign players to ever grace the Premier League.
The likes of Eric Cantona, Jaap Stam and Cristiano Ronaldo have all cemented their legacy at Old Trafford.
Bruno Fernandes is undoubtedly the star man for the current crop of Red Devils, managed by another iconic foreign import Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
But just who are the club’s greatest non-British players?
United End editor Tom McDermott has already given his say on the club’s best British XI in the Premier League, and now he’s chosen a star-studded line up made up of foreigners.
Only one player from the current Manchester United side has made the XI
ZLAT’S ENOUGH
Former Man Utd striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic will NOT be taking part in the delayed Euro 2020 tournament for Sweden in the summer.
The AC Milan ace will miss out due to a knee injury.
Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano tweeted: “Sweden have decided that Zlatan Ibrahimovic will NOT take part to the Euros.
“After the announcement of the conservative therapy needed by Zlatan to recover after his knee injury, he’ll be OUT of the Euros. Official.”
Sweden boss Janne Andersson told Expressen: “It’s sad but Zlatan is gonna miss the Euros because of his injury.”
MAGUIRE MISSED
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has admitted that his side miss club captain Harry Maguire.
He said: “Harry [Maguire] has been really important for us so of course we’re going to miss him but he’s out so we have to deal with that.
“It’s about regrouping and building our own confidence again as we have two games and a final.
“The attitude was right and the focus was fine, we were ready for it. We didn’t build on the good times.
“We should have gone more for it at the start of the game. Sometimes we let them off the hook and let them play out.
“Tuesday. We need to find ourselves straight away. We need to build that momentum and confidence. We should go into that final ready.”
FREDY, SET, GO
Brazil coach Tite has lifted the lid on why he called Fred back to the national team set-up.
He told ESPN: “It’s because of his performances.
“The high level that he has been showing at United, a team that is runner-up in the Premier League.”
Fred has started 26 top-flight games for the Red Devils this term having forced his way back into the starting XI under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
CAV SOME OF THAT
Edinson Cavani has revealed why he rushed in to protect Mason Greenwood during the youngster’s scuffle with Gianluca Mancini and Rick Karsdorp away at Roma.
He said: “There are times when you’re out there when I believe you need to protect and stand up for one of your team-mates.
“Sometimes because it might be down to a lack of experience on their part, and they might make a mistake. Many times, it is because you believe that a situation that they are involved in during a stand-off just isn’t fair.
“In that incident against Roma, what I felt was that he was arguing face to face with the Roma defender which is something that can happen in football.
“The next minute, a third guy came on the scene and began pushing him when he clearly wasn’t part of the original argument. I told him he should keep out of the incident and that’s why I went to help Mason and offer him some protection. 
“I also tried to separate the players so the incident would calm down. We were in a key period of the game and he could have been given a red card.
“I got a yellow card for my trouble, but the main thing was really to protect and defend him and to try to prevent everything escalating further.”
RON HIS WAY?
Cristiano Ronaldo won’t be returning to Sporting Lisbon in the summer, according to his agent Jorge Mendes.
This works as a major boost for Manchester United, who are reportedly keen on a reunion with Ronaldo ahead of the summer transfer window.
The 36-year-old’s mother, Dolores Aveiro, fuelled speculation that Ronaldo could return to Sporting after they won their first Primeira Liga title for the first time in 19 years.
She said: “I’ll talk to him to bring him back. Next year he will play in Alvalade [Sporting’s stadium].”
But agent Mendes poured cold water on that prospect, as he remarked: “Cristiano is proud of the title won by Sporting, in fact, as he has publicly demonstrated.
“But at the moment his career plans do not go through Portugal.”
BIRTHDAY BOY
Man Utd legend Patrice Evra has turned 40 today.
The Frenchman won five Premier League titles during his time with the Red Devils, as well as three League Cups and one Champions League.
He left in 2014 to join Juventus after scoring ten goals in 379 appearances.

JAM FILLING
James Garner is hoping his loan spells at Watford and Nottingham Forest this season will see him be a regular for Man Utd next term.
Speaking to the Red Devils’ official magazine Inside United, he said: “I’ve been working hard, physically and mentally, and it’s something I’m trying to add into my game.
“Hopefully, when I come back at the end of the season, I’ll sit down with the coaches and see what’s best for me and what’s going to be best for my development. I’ll take it from there really.”
Commenting on his dream of being a regular United starter, he said: “I think that’s ultimately the dream.
“I’ve been at the club since seven or eight and the main focus is to be in the first team and do whatever takes to be with the first team.
“Like I’ve said, I’ll just keep working hard, keep my head down and have to see what is going to be best for my development. But, ultimately, my dream is to be with the first-team and play for United.”
FRED DEVIL
Man Utd midfielder Fred has earned himself a call-up to the Brazilian national team following his fine form.
The 28-year-old has not featured for the Selecao in almost two-and-a-half-years.
His last of his 11 outings came in October 2018 where he played 45 minutes against Saudi Arabia.
Taking to Twitter, Fred expressed his delight at being named in Tite’s squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Ecuador and Paraguay.
He said: “Great joy to represent my country again. Always proud to be summoned. Let’s go again!”
VAR-CICAL
Man Utd are reportedly battling Liverpool for the signing of Real Madrid centre-back Raphael Varane.
According to the Manchester Evening News, the Reds have held talks with the Frenchman’s entourage about a move to Anfield in the summer.
Los Blancos could cash in on the defender with the player having just a year left on his contract.
Real president Florentino Perez recently fuelled speculation the World Cup winner could depart.
He said: “Varane? I’m happy with our team. But if players don’t want to stay at Madrid they can leave.”
United are determined to sign a centre-half in the upcoming window as Ole Gunnar looks to find a partner for Harry Maguire.
DAY AND NIGHT
RB Leipzig’s Dayot Upamecano has revealed that he nearly joined Premier League giants Man Utd.
But his parents advised him to ‘think carefully’ about the potential move.
Upamencano will link up with Bayern Munich in the summer.
Speaking to The Athletic, the Frenchman said: “I was a young boy. I wanted to sign for them straight away. Manchester United!
“But then my parents took me aside and said: ‘Let’s think carefully about this.
“We thought about it for a long time and then decided that going ‘etape par etape’ [step by step] was the best option for me.
“Everything Ralf [Rangnick] said came true.”
LLOR AND ORDER
Manchester United are reportedly preparing a £68million bid for Atletico Madrid’s Marcos Llorente.
The Red Devils are known to be huge admirers of the 26-year-old, having first targeted the midfielder in January 2020.
Llorente has been instrumental for Diego Simeone’s men this season with Atletico on the brink of winning their first LaLiga title since 2014.
The ex-Real Madrid ace – who won the 2018 Champions League with Los Blancos – has chipped in with 13 goals and 12 assists in 43 games in all competitions this term.
His fine form hasn’t gone unnoticed, and United were reportedly set to turn their interest into a formal offer in March.
And now the Mirror have stated the Europa League finalists are ready to make a £68m bid to secure Llorente’s services.

The shocking remarks included racial slurs and ‘monkey emojis’.
A Facebook spokesperson told Sky Sports: “The racist abuse on Fred’s post is unacceptable and we don’t want it on Instagram.
“We’ve removed a number of comments and taken action against the accounts that posted them.
“We encourage people to use our safety features, including Comment Filters and Message Controls, which can meaningfully decrease the abuse people experience.

But has admitted that he is not sure how realistic a move is.
“I am not actually sure how realistic it is,” said Moyes.
“Obviously, I think Jesse has enjoyed himself, I hope he has… we have enjoyed having him and he is Manchester United’s player so they can decide what to do with him – and if they want to let him go then let’s hope he would consider us as one of his options.
“We have enjoyed having him and I am sure he has enjoyed being here as well, he is getting a lot of accolades and is back in the England squad.
“I hope he goes on to make the Euros and in time we will find out if Jesse is going to be a Manchester United player or if he will play for somebody else.”

FERGUSON BACKS SOLSKJAER
Former Man Utd manager and cub legend Sir Alex Ferguson has backed current boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Ferguson believes that Solskjaer understands the fundamental principles that the club is built on.
“I think Ole was always very communicative,” Sir Alex told the BBC: “Even when he was on the bench – and he spent a lot of time on the bench!
“He would take notes of training sessions and he had a will and way forward that he wanted to be a manager.
“For a club like Manchester United, it’s a results industry. Without question. If you don’t get results, questions are going to be asked.
“He is getting results and has really done very well and, which is really important for this club, is to introduce young people.
“He has given young players a chance. I think that will always be the foundation of Manchester United.
“From Matt Busby, from Alex Ferguson to what Ole is doing – the young guys, if they’re good enough, play them. It’s never a problem at this club.”

“This is for anyone who has ever been told they’re not good enough, or that they need change who they are to fit in.
“I would always say stay true to yourself, be yourself, you know, keep dancing, keep doing what you love and I’m sure you’ll reach your goals in the long run.”
