      According to Foot Mercato, Burnley are keen to sign the 28-year-old who is reportedly training away from Milan’s senior squad.
      The Clarets are desperate for a forward after losing their two opening Premier League matches against Aston Villa and Manchester City.
      Origi could certainly add goals to the struggling side who won the Championship title last season.
      Prior to joining the Italian club the Belgian star was a cult hero at Liverpool with a habit of scoring important goals.

      He made over 100 appearances for the Reds and scored in the final of the 2019 Champions League leading his side to a famous victory.

      Fans left gobsmacked as footage emerges of Cristiano Ronaldo’s dressing room while playing for Al-Nassr

      by

      FANS have been left gobsmacked by the dressing room Cristiano Ronaldo had to use while playing for Al-Nassr on Friday.Nassr faced a trip to Al-Fateh, who have not received the same cash injection from the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) that Al-Nassr, Al-Ittihad, Al-Hilal and Al-Ahli have enjoyed.

      A Cristiano Ronaldo hat-trick and Sadio Mane brace saw Al-Nassr triumph 5-0 over Fateh, who sit ninth in the Saudi Pro League.
      It wasn’t just the scoreline that demonstrated the gulf in class between the sides – with fans being horrified at the quality of the dressing room at the Prince Abdullah Bin Jalawi Stadium.
      A series of red conference-room style chairs were plopped onto a white tile floor that looked more like a 1980s kitchen than a professional dressing room.
      And Ronaldo’s team-mate’s kits looked to have been carelessly plopped on the top of each chair in scenes akin to Sunday League football.

      Fans reacted to the threadbare dressing room on Twitter, with one saying: “Thought the Saudi League was rich.”
      Another wrote: “This is non league football.”
      A third fan wrote: “MLS >”
      While a fourth appalled Twitter user wrote: “Were they having a children’s party before the game?”

      Another joked: “Ronaldo getting changed in a conference room there.”
      A final person wrote: “Oh Ronaldo…. The places you have fallen to..”
      But fans were also quick to point out that Ronaldo’s own dressing room was a far cry from the surroundings at Al-Fateh.
      Al-Nassr’s home dressing room at the Al-Awwal Park is amply spacious, complete with plush seats and a stylish design on the walls and ceiling.
      Al-Nassr will play Al-Shabbab at home this evening at 7pm British time, and their players will no doubt be grateful to return to their home dressing room comforts. More

      Desperate Erik ten Hag adds FIFTH and SIXTH left-backs to Man Utd transfer shortlist with former Ajax pal on boss’ radar

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED are so desperate for a short-term loan deal to cover the injury of Luke Shaw they have added a FIFTH and SIXTH option to their transfer shortlist, according to reports.Left-back Shaw is set to spend a lengthy period on the sidelines after sustaining a nasty muscular injury.

      According to the Daily Mail, Erik ten Hag is said to be looking to bring in a short-term replacement for Shaw’s absence and a reunion with Lyon’s Nicolas Tagliafico is on the cards.
      The left-back was previously considered by the Red Devils scouting team as he used to play under Ten Hag at Ajax.
      Tagliafico, 30, is playing regularly for the Ligue 1 giants and Lyon would want any loan to include the obligation to buy. 
      The Argentine joined the French side last year from Ajax for £3.5million and was a part of Argentina’s World Cup-winning team.
      READ MORE FOOTBALL
      Ten Hag has praised him in the past for his character and professionalism and is a viable option as he could easily adapt to the Dutch boss’ style.
      Meanwhile, the Metro confirmed Roma’s Leonardo Spinazolla as a potential target for the Red Devils.
      Spinazzola has been a key part of the Italian side since 2019 – but Roma boss Jose Mourinho is unlikely to sanction his departure as the Serie A team have had a poor start to the season.
      Man Utd already had four potential left-backs lined-up on their transfer list including Barcelona’s Marcos Alonso, Chelsea’s Marc Cucurella, Tottenham’s Sergio Reguillion and Brentford’s Rico Henry.

      United have a restricted budget after their huge £160million summer splurge on Mason Mount, Rasmus Hojlund and Andre Onana.
      Barcelona are open to letting Alonso go on a short-term loan as this would open up financial space to complete the new signing of Joao Cancelo from Manchester City.
      Chelsea are considering offers for Cucuarella but are still concerned about their other left-back Ian Maatsen who is yet to sign a new contract for the Blues.
      United must have a deal finalised by Friday’s 11pm deadline but remain restricted by Financial Fair Play over what they can bring in.
      Therefore to complete this deal the likes of Donny van de Beek and Eric Bailly need to be sold before eyeing up midfield targets.
