      It is unclear how long the couple have been together, but Cam first posted a picture with the midfielder in November.

      Rashford, who has 30 goals this season, said: “It’s obviously a proud moment.
      “I feel I should have scored a few more, but, you know, there’s always room for improvement. That’s what I’ve been looking to do for next season.
      “I’m pleased with how it went, but I’m looking forward to improve and hopefully getting better numbers in that next season.”
      Rashford, a product of United’s youth system, looks to inspire the next generation of stars after his double win.

      He said: “I feel a huge sense of pride.
      “I just hope that more academy players can go on and win this award and feel what I’m feeling right now on the stage.
      “The main reason why I came back into the season in the condition I was because that was probably my first summer where I was off.
      “I was just hungry to get started with the new manager [and] new staff.
      “In my mind I just had a positive feeling and based of this season, I wasn’t wrong, but I hope we can keep pushing and keep moving forward.
      “I’m very happy. Very pleased. I just want to say a big thanks to [my] team- mates [and] staff because without them pushing you every day in training you don’t get to see the best version of me.
      “I appreciate all of you guys and thank you very much.”

      Arsenal line up shock Joao Cancelo transfer with Man City ‘ready to sell’ after Bayern Munich snub £61million buy option

      by

      JOAO CANCELO will be sent back to Manchester City after Bayern Munich decided not to take up their £60million option to buy him in a boost for Arsenal.The German giants negotiated the clause when they signed the Portugal international on loan for the rest of the season in January.
      Bayern Munich have opted against signing Joao Cancelo from Man CityCredit: Getty
      Cancelo, 29, helped Bayern win the Bundesliga at the weekend but has had a mixed spell at the Allianz Arena.
      And the decision has been taken by boss Thomas Tuchel and the club not to extend his stay in Bavaria.
      City chief Pep Guardiola gave him the green light to move after the defender lost his starting place and made his feelings known.
      Cancelo’s chances of forcing his way back into the reckoning at the Etihad appear slim as the side have coped well without him.

      Barcelona are keen on the ex-Juventus man but Treble-chasing City may have to drop their asking price to get rid of him.
      Meanwhile, transfer guru Fabrizio Romano also states that Arsenal are lining up a shock swoop for the defender.
      He claims that Barca have had “genuine interest since January” in Cancelo but any potential move “depends on FFP”.
      However, he added that “Arsenal appreciate Cancelo” and that “he’s one of the names in the list” of potential targets for boss Mikel Arteta.

      Erik ten Hag opens door to Harry Maguire transfer exit as boss tells benched defender to make ‘decision’ on future

      by

      ERIK TEN HAG has opened the door for Harry Maguire to leave Manchester United.Club captain Maguire has found game time limited this season due to the preference of Raphael Varane and Victor Lindelof at right centre-back ahead of him.

      Even full-back Luke Shaw has been more readily utilised as a left centre-back when Lisandro Martinez is not fit, rather than Maguire being deployed there.
      Indeed, of the 16 Premier League games the 30-year-old played in, only half saw him named in the starting XI.
      Talking to The Times about Maguire’s place in the squad, Ten Hag said: “Yes, but he has high competition there with Raphaël Varane [at centre back], who’s fantastic. That describes everything.
      “No one would be happy with this situation [on the bench].

      “He is not as well. He trains always on [the] best levels, so with 100 per cent effort.
      “So he handles that situation well and he’s in that manner and in his captaincy he’s important for the squad.”
      Following his fall down the pecking order, Ten Hag believes Maguire has a “decision” to make on his future.
      When asked whether the former Leicester star would stay at Old Trafford beyond the summer, the Dutchman replied: “Let’s say I’m happy he’s here and when we needed him he did his job.

      “But it’s also a decision he has to make.”
      After calling Maguire up for his latest International squad, Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate warned Maguire: “It’s not a situation that can continue forever.”
      In his interview, Ten Hag also spoke about the likes of David de Gea, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Jadon Sancho, detailing their progression throughout the season.
      The former Ajax boss also called on the club to back him in the summer market, after failing to invest in January with the ownership of the club still up in the air.
      He said: “When you see the investment in the Premier League — [in the] summer window we did [spend] as well, to be fair.
      “In the winter window, we didn’t do anything. We had loan players [Wout Weghorst, Marcel Sabitzer and Jack Butland] but when you look around, all the other clubs invested to be in the top four and we didn’t invest.
      “You can’t ignore that. If you want to be competitive in this league, you have to invest. I need signings, yes.”
      Ten Hag also appeared to hint Mason Greenwood, who saw attempted rape and assault charges dropped in February, could sensationally stay at United.

      It came on the topic of needing more firepower, with Ten Hag saying Greenwood “showed in the past that he is capable” of performing the striker role.
      However, he emphasised Greenwood’s future was not up to him. More

      He inherits a shell-shocked squad which finished a lowly 12th.
      And Sterling said: “He will bring leadership, he will challenge players physically and mentally. I feel he is going to come here and he is going to have the personality that everyone is going to respect.
      “That’s what we need, someone in charge.”
      England forward Sterling only joined Chelsea last summer from Manchester City but the Argentine will be his FOURTH boss after Thomas Tuchel, Graham Potter and Frank Lampard.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      Sterling told Arab News: “From his time before at Tottenham, I heard a conversation about him and he’s the exact person we need.”
      Pochettino was the Blues’ No 1 choice.
      He took Spurs to the Champions League final in 2019 before becoming Paris Saint-Germain boss and winning the Ligue 1 title and French Cup.
      The 51-year-old will report to Chelsea’s co-sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Lawrence Stewart.

      A statement from the pair said: “Mauricio’s experience, standards of excellence, leadership qualities and character will serve Chelsea well as we move forward.
      “He is a winning coach, who has worked at the highest levels, in multiple leagues and languages.
      “His ethos, tactical approach and commitment to development made him the exceptional candidate.”
      Pochettino and his new squad go to the US for a pre-season tour in July.
      He takes over from caretaker boss and club legend Lampard, who was brought in following Potter’s sacking last month.
      And that came after Tuchel was the first manager sent packing by American chairman Todd Boehly, who spearheaded the £4.25billion takeover of Chelsea a year ago.
      A club statement read: “Mauricio is a world-class coach with an outstanding track record. We are all looking forward to having him on board.” More

      Erik ten Hag refuses to confirm David de Gea will be Man Utd’s No1 as boss sends stark warning to blunder-prone keeper

      However, the Dutch tactician is adamant there will be no promises for the 32-year-old and hinted he may sign another goalkeeper to provide competition.
      Ten Hag told The Times when asked if De Gea will be at United next season: “Yes, but I will not say he’ll always be my No1 because in a club like Man United there must be competition in all positions.
      “You can’t do it with 11 players. It is impossible. You need double positions.”
      Ten Hag has shown he likes to play out from the back throughout this season.

      Although De Gea is an elite shot-stopper, he still struggles with his footwork.
      And, despite winning the Golden Glove for the most clean sheets in the Premier League, he has committed a number of costly blunders this season while trying to carry out his manager’s tactics.
      The ex-Ajax boss admitted the Spain international had to “step up” but insists he is happy with his progress.
      Ten Hag added: “It’s not what I want, it’s more what top football demands nowadays.

      “If you observe the biggest teams, you have to be capable of playing from the back, and use your keeper as a plus one in your back, otherwise it’s very simple for opponents to put you under pressure.
      “He [De Gea] had to step up. In a number of games, he showed progression.”
      But if the United keeper agrees to renew he will have to accept a substantial pay cut.
      SunSport recently revealed the Spaniard has a new deal on the table, which would see his present £375,000-a-week basic salary drop by nearly 50 per cent. More

      West Ham captain and England star Rice is hot property as he approaches the final year of his contract.
      And, although the Londoners have an option to extend it for a further season, it’s reckoned there’s a gentleman’s agreement to sell Rice for a record British transfer fee – currently held by £107m Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez.
      Arsenal are thought to be leading the race after narrowly missing out on their first Premier League title in almost two decades.
      Manchester United are also monitoring the situation as they mull an attempt to hijack Arsenal’s deal.

      And Rice’s choice could have a huge bearing on the future of Chelsea star Mason Mount, with the pals hoping to play at the same club next season.
      However, Bayern have thrown a spanner in the works after making their interest known last week.
      Boss Tuchel wanted to bring Rice to Stamford Bridge during his Chelsea days.
      And Sky Sports Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg claims the pair held a productive phone call over the weekend, with both sharing a mutual appreciation.

      Meanwhile, the Mirror claims a bid is already set to arrive from Bayern
      The Bundesliga giants are said to be ready to splash £95m on Rice, with Tuchel “determined” to beat Mikel Arteta.
      Bayern are unlikely to be able to pay anything like that fee up front, but could offer a structured deal or players in return.
      And they hope an early bid could put a swift end to the transfer saga once and for all. More
