      ‘Why you laughing’ says Man Utd star Kobbie Mainoo to Cole Palmer as he’s forced to dispel long-standing myth

      by

      KOBBIE MAINOO has proved he will measure up for England – by confirming he is much taller than the internet suggests he is.England’s breakout stars sat down with presenter John Denzel and discussed why the web had the Manchester United star down as 5ft 7ins.Kobbie Mainoo was forced to get the measuring tape outCredit: Youtube, EnglandAs Cole Palmer had to confirm his height in real timeCredit: Youtube, EnglandThe pair managed to confirm that Mainoo is indeed 6ft tallCredit: Youtube, EnglandBut Mainoo, 19, insisted he is 6ft to team-mate Cole Palmer on the FA’s Lions’ Den show at their Euros base in Blankenhain, Eastern Germany.Host Josh Denzel kicked things off by cheekily asking: “I found something quite interesting Kobbie.”When I searched the internet it says your height is 5ft7ins, but I know you’ve been telling people you’re 6ft.”To which Palmer asked: “How tall are you?”READ MORE IN FOOTBALLMainoo told the Chelsea star: “I’m six foot, bro. Why you laughing? I swear down.”Palmer then put his pal to the test by getting the tape measure out – and Mainoo came out at 184cm, with shoes on, which does indeed equate to 6ft.Let’s hope the teenager walks just as tall when representing his country this summer, after facing criticism following England’s 1-0 warm up defeat to Iceland.Meanwhile, Palmer admitted he did not expect his season to end with him making the Euros squad when he left Manchester City for Chelsea in a £45million deal last summer.Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSThe 21-year-old said: “When I went to Chelsea, this was the last thing I thought about.

      That means playing Phil Foden and Jude Bellingham in attacking midfield roles, with Cole Palmer and Bukayo Saka on the wings, either side of Harry Kane up top.
      Wilshere said: “In the group stage against teams we should beat, we can  afford to be more expansive, let’s attack.
      “It wasn’t that long ago we were saying we didn’t have the Spanish-type of players who can dominate the ball, now we have.
      “So let’s try to utilise that, dominate the ball and go for goals.”
      And the ex-England midfielder wants Trent Alexander-Arnold to get the nod at right-back, with Kyle Walker centre-back.
      He added: “If you play Trent at right-back and he drifts in midfield, he can switch the play at speed. Walker’s pace will get you out of trouble.”

      Nine managers Man Utd considered before deciding to keep Erik ten Hag including three Premier League bosses

      by

      THE whirlwind of speculation over Erik ten Hag’s future was nothing compared to the torrent of activity behind the scenes in a remarkable past few weeks.The simple fact that Manchester United retained their manager after an end-of-season review disguises the turmoil of at least NINE other bosses being considered to replace the Dutchman.Erik ten Hag led Man Utd to a 2-1 FA Cup final win over neighbours City last month that might well have saved his jobCredit: GettyMauricio Pochettino and Roberto De Zerbi were contendersCredit: AlamyA stirring and tactically-brilliant FA Cup final win over Premier League kings Man City is believed to have tipped the balance in Ten Hag’s favour.He already knew failing to qualify for the Champions League would trigger an intense review of his position.And indeed finishing a club-record low of eighth in the Prem highlighted the pressure Ten Hag was under.However, having won the EFL Cup in his first season and the biggest domestic knockout competition in his second campaign, his trophy-winning status makes him stand out amongst the six successors, plus two caretaker chiefs, since Alex Ferguson’s 27-year golden reign ended in 2013.READ MORE MAN UTD NEWSNonetheless, minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s team of Sir Dave Brailsford, Jason Wilcox and Jean-Claude Blancheld spoke to several possible replacements for Ten Hag, including advanced talks with big names.In fact, The Athletic say Teg Hag was only retained after an intensive board meeting in Monaco, plus a face-to-face meeting in Ibiza.Ratcliffe’s men had cut contact with him after his Wembley triumph to keep their analysis as scientific and detached as possible – a period that, not surprisingly, troubled ETH until a positive final decision was reached. And before that verdict United had conducted an equally rigorous process – that of analysing possible successors.Most read in FootballThomas Tuchel eventually dropped out of the runningCredit: GettyEURO 2024 FREE BETS AND OFFERSTwo contenders are thought to have been dropped from the running pretty quickly.Those were Sporting Lisbon’s Ruben Amorim and Portugal manager Roberto Martinez.Tom Heaton reveals phone call from Gareth Southgate that saw Man Utd goalkeeper join up with England’s Euro 2024 squadAmorim, 39, is regarded as one of Europe’s most-respected young coaches.In fact, Liverpool were linked to the Portuguese before opting for Feyenoord’s Arne Slot to succeed Jurgen Klopp.Meanwhile, former Everton and Belgium chief Martinez is understood to have been briefly mentioned too.Barcelona were also monitoring the Spaniard back in March.But instead he’s remained focused on Portugal’s Euro 2024 bid – albeit having promised much but won little in his 16 years as a manager.Then come the seven men who have been talked up for the Old Trafford role right up to the last three weeks.Brentford’s Thomas Frank and Fulham’s Marco Silva are said to have met United representatives just days before the May 25 FA Cup final.And at around the same time Roberto De Zerbi was cementing his standing as a genuine contender.Red Devils’chiefs eventually decided the Italian didn’t quite match their needs – ironically as he quit Brighton by mutual consent at the end of the domestic term.Ipswich’s Kieran McKenna led the way for the young pretenders.United weighed up whether such a huge job after just three years in his only job so far as manager – and all outside the Prem – would be too big an ask at the age of 38.In the end, despite Chelsea and Brighton also being interested, McKenna signed a new four-year deal with his top-flight new boys.Englsnd boss Gareth Southgate is much admired by Sir Jim RatcliffeCredit: GettyNine managers Man Utd considered before keeping Erik ten HagERIK TEN HAG appears to be safe as Man Utd manager, but the Dutchman edged dangerously close to the sack.

      Here are nine managers Red Devils chiefs are reported to have considered for the job and what allegedly happened with each.
      Gareth Southgate
      Enjoys plenty of support among Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s Ineos chiefs but made clear he wouldn’t talk to any clubs until after Euro 2024. There is yet to be any suggestion that contact was made with the England boss.
      Kieran McKenna
      Talks were opened with McKenna’s representatives before the FA Cup final, but the former Man Utd coach opted to sign a new deal with Ipswich after Ten Hag’s Wembley win.
      Roberto De Zerbi
      Allegedly sounded out before the FA Cup final with salary expectations discussed. But Ineos chiefs concluded ex-Brighton boss was not the right fit for the project.
      Thomas Frank
      Brentford boss met Man Utd representatives the day before the FA Cup final. The Dane also dined with Ratcliffe, Roy Hodgson and Frank Lampard at the launch of a new Ineos car in February.
      Marco Silva
      Fulham boss reportedly met Man Utd representatives face-to-face two days before the FA Cup final, around the same time as Ten Hag was conducting his press conference.
      Mauricio Pochettino
      Fell out of Man Utd’s thinking in the first week of June, despite being a favourite of Sir Alex Ferguson.
      Thomas Tuchel
      Made a very strong impression and came across well during a Monaco meeting. Personal terms were discussed before the ex-Chelsea and Bayern Munich boss decided to step back from the process.
      Ruben Amorim
      Sporting boss was discussed by the Man Utd hierarchy but did not make the final reckoning.
      Roberto Martinez
      Portugal manager was considered in the early stages.

      Ex-Stamford Bridge chief Thomas Tuchel was high up the list for Old Trafford in recent months, particularly once he announced he’s quit Bayern Munich this summer.But despite impressing in talks with United officials, the German decided he wanted a break from the game and dropped out of the running.That leaves arguably the two biggest names of the nine.Mauricio Pochettino shot up the pack of fancied runners when Chelsea sacked him on May 21.But even the reported backing of legend Fergie didn’t prevent the ex-Tottenham boss falling by the wayside early in June.Last, but perhaps most intriguingly, comes Gareth Southgate.After eight years in charge of England, Southgate has admitted his time could be up if the Three Lions flop in Germany.But he also insisted he wouldn’t consider talking about any other job until after the Eros.And although Ratcliffe rates Southgate highly, there is no suggestion United got as far as approaching Southgate.READ MORE SUN STORIESInstead, the Red Devils have handed a third season to Ten Hag, although reportedly giving him less of a say in transfers.But much like Southgate, who has taken England to the 2018 World Cup semis as well as the Euro 2020 final ahead of the fast- looming Euros, could it be a case of third time lucky or no fourth chance?

      Man Utd ‘draw up three-man striker shortlist including Ivan Toney’ as England star’s transfer value is revealed

      MANCHESTER UNITED have drawn up a three-man shortlist of striker targets, according to reports.The Red Devils are understood to be looking to bolster their attacking options ahead of next season.Ivan Toney is on Manchester United’s three-man striker shortlistCredit: GettyJonathan David is also an option for United this summerCredit: GettyBologna forward Joshua Zirkzee is understood to have a £34million release clauseCredit: GettyESPN report United’s wishlist includes Ivan Toney, Jonathan David and Joshua Zirkzee.Both Toney and David are set to enter the final year of their contracts at Brentford and Lille, respectively.However, Brentford are still set to demand £50million for England star Toney, the report adds.Meanwhile, Zirkzee’s Bologna contract includes a £34million release clause this summer.READ MORE ON MAN UTDDespite the uncertainty surrounding Erik ten Hag’s future, United are pushing ahead with their transfer business.The club are keen to add a striker, with Rasmus Hojlund the only senior centre-forward at Old Trafford.Anthony Martial is set to leave on a free transfer at the end of the month, whilst United have missed out on Benjamin Sesko.The Slovenian is expected to pen a new deal with RB Leipzig following links with a move to the Premier League.Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERSSunSport’s verdict on Man Utd flopsSir Jim Ratcliffe and Ineos have a busy summer ahead to get Man Utd’s squad in order for next season. Below SunSport gives it verdict on how they should deal with the Red Devils flops this summer.
      Andre Onana – STAY: After a dodgy start at Old Trafford Onana has proven to be one of the more reliable members of the squad this season despite being peppered with shots constantly.
      Altay Bayindir – GO: Reports in February suggested Bayindir was unhappy with his bit part role at Man Utd amid interest from Turkish giants Galatasaray. If profit can be made on a sale then it should be done.
      Tom Heaton – STAY: Veteran goalkeeper Heaton, 38, is a reliable back-up and is on a relatively small wage at the club. So long as he is happy it makes sense to keep him.
      Aaron Wan-Bissaka – GO: Wan-Bissaka, 26, has never managed to make the right-back position his own. With his contract up in 2025 it makes sense to cash in now.
      Diogo Dalot – STAY: Dalot, 26, has been one of Man Utd’s most consistent performers this season.
      Raphael Varane – GO: If it wasn’t for his injury record there would be a strong shout to keep Varane, but costs need to be cut to allow the squad to be freshened up.
      Harry Maguire – GO: Maguire has showed he has the right character to be at Man Utd but overall ability and desired profile are another matter, with Maguire too slow to play in a high line defence.
      Lisandro Martinez – STAY: Martinez, 26, is second to none in terms of build up play. He needs a long-term defensive partner on the right side and to cut out the injuries which have plagued him this season.
      Jonny Evans – GO: Veteran campaigner Evans could easily be on the stay list if he was only going to be a bit part player. But he has shown his advanced years at times this season.
      Victor Lindelof – GO:  Lindelof, 29, has been reliable if not unremarkable in his Man Utd career. He has one year left on his contract so should be moved on if a decent transfer fee can be got for him.
      Willy Kambwala – STAY: He should be given the opportunity to mature for a few years behind a senior CB pairing before stepping into the first team as a starter or being moved on.
      Luke Shaw – GO: One of the Premier League’s best left-backs when fit, Shaw has been a good servant when available. But alas that has been his Achilles heel once again this season.
      Tyrell Malacia – STAY: Malacia, 24, was decent enough to earn some merit in his first season at Man Utd before injury ended his season and inadvertently led to his second season being a write off.
      Sofyan Amrabat – GO: Amrabat, 27, looked like a world beater at the Qatar World Cup with Morocco. But he’s had an underwhelming season in England and his loan spell will almost certainly not be made permanent.
      Casemiro – GO: An alarming physical decline has seen him turn from key star to burden. If a club is willing to buy the 32-year-old – who has two more years on his contract – then United should snatch their hand off.
      Christian Eriksen – GO: Eriksen proved a useful asset and Ineos should look to bring in another player with similar traits, but frankly his legs have looked gone towards the end of this season.
      Kobbie Mainoo – STAY: The first of the so-called untouchables, Mainoo has been a rare glimmer of hope in the Red Devils midfield this season.
      Mason Mount – STAY: Mount can be given the benefit of the doubt until summer 2025 at least after a debut season riddled with injury.
      Scott McTominay – STAY: McTominay, 27, has proven himself to be a brilliant plan B off the bench this season, and that is exactly why Ineos should look to keep him.
      Bruno Fernandes – STAY: Man Utd’s best player since his arrival just over four years ago, Fernandes, 29, remains second-to-none when it comes to creating chances while his tenacity boosts those around him.
      Antony – GO: There’s a case to argue that Antony may be the worst pound-for-pound signing in Premier League history. Despite some memorable moments he simply isn’t Man Utd quality.
      Anthony Martial – GO: Ultimately Martial needs to be let go when his deal runs out this summer after an appalling injury record of late.
      Marcus Rashford – STAY: As easy as it would be to say Rashford should leave the club this summer, it is difficult to look at the market and find many available players capable of scoring 30 goals a season.
      Alejandro Garnacho – STAY: Another third of the untouchables trio, Garnacho has made the right-wing his own since coming into it. He’s a raw talent but has shown he has the quality to improve.
      Rasmus Hojlund – STAY: A slow burner in his first Man Utd season, the 21-year-old has often been starved of supply which has led to him being unable to get the goals his movement and unselfish play often merits.
      Amad Diallo – STAY: In the fleeting moments he has been on the pitch for Man Utd this season, Diallo has looked dangerous and exciting. He should be given a chance to flourish with some proper chances in the first team across a whole season.

      United have now identified their alternative targets in the position, though.Toney scored four goals in 17 Premier League appearances for Brentford last term after returning from his betting ban.Who’s left in the running to be next Man Utd manager?The 28-year-old’s form was also enough to earn him a place in the Three Lions squad for Euro 2024.As for David, only Kylian Mbappe scored more than his 19 Ligue 1 goals for Lille.Elsewhere, Zirkzee scored 11 and added five assists in a slightly deeper role for Bologna as they qualified for the Champions League.THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..The Sun is your go to destination for the best football, boxing and MMA news, real-life stories, jaw-dropping pictures and must-see video.Like us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/TheSunFootball and follow us from our main Twitter account at @TheSunFootball.
