      Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez have impressed under Erik ten Hag this season.
      But Harry Maguire is being linked with a move away from Old Trafford.

      And Victor Lindelof could also be shown the exit door – with reports he may even be included in the deal for South Korean Min-jae.
      Min-jae 26, has been heavily linked with a switch to Man Utd after a sensational season with the Serie A champions.

      He has played a key role in helping Napoli to their first scudetto since 1990.
      According to Il Mattino, he will depart at the end of the season irrespective of Napoli’s desire to keep him.
      And a deal with Man Utd is understood to be “practically done” despite people close to the defender having doubts about the move.

      United are understood to have offered him a £7.8m per season salary – although they are yet to meet with Napoli to table an official bid.

      Cannon hit eight goals in the second tier and will return ahead of Ellis Simms in the queue for a game, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Neal Maupay likely to leave.
      Everton hope to stay up and then review the 20-year-old’s future.
      Blackburn have joined Preston and Swansea  keen to recruit the Republic of Ireland prospect for next season.
      North End are even cooking up a bid to buy Cannon.

      Although that would need a serious offer to make it happen.
      On top of his eight strikes in the Championship, Cannon has hit seven goals in Premier League 2 for the Toffees Under 21 side.
      He also added five goals in as many games in the EFL Trophy.

      Chelsea ‘make £70m Dusan Vlahovic transfer offer’ but fans worry of ‘Higuain vibes’ as they say ‘just keep Lukaku’

      by

      CHELSEA are reportedly interested in signing Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic.The Blues are set to finish in the bottom half of the Premier League table for the first time since 1996, despite spending almost £600million on 16 new players over the past year.
      Chelsea are considering a swoop for VlahovicCredit: Getty
      Todd Boehly has welcomed five defenders, four midfielders and six attackers to Stamford Bridge since he took over as Chairman last May, but he is yet to add a first team-ready out-and-out striker to his ranks.
      Romelu Lukaku – who was signed for £97.5million August 2021 – is currently on loan at Inter Milan, but he could leave the club on a permanent basis before the 2023-24 campaign kicks off.
      So Chelsea officials are now on the hunt for a new No.9.
      According to football journalist Julien Laurens, the Blues are keen on the prospect of signing Vlahovic from Juventus.
      Read More on Football
      And ESPN claim that they have already made a £70million offer for the striker.
      Vlahovic joined Juventus in a £62m transfer from Fiorentina in January last year, but he struggled to find his form.
      And Chelsea fans have admitted that they would rather keep Lukaku at Stamford Bridge than sign the Serbia international.
      One person tweeted: “Is Vlahovic even really much of an upgrade on Lukaku?”

      Another added: “Vlahovic has flop written all over it, not even scored that many this season either. I’d rather give Lukaku another go until we can go for Toney when his ban is up.”
      While a third wrote: “This guy gives me washed up Higuain vibes, offer 80m for Harry Kane and move on.”
      Chelsea are also understood to be interested in signing Brighton midfielder Alexis Mac Allister.
      Mauricio Pochettino, who is set to become the club’s new manager this summer, is a known admirer of the Argentina international.
      Napoli’s Victor Osimhen is another name on the transfer wishlist, although Chelsea face competition from Manchester United for his signature.
      The Blues could let go of several first team players this summer in order to make way for more signings.
      Mason Mount, N’Golo Kante, Mateo Kovacic Conor Gallagher and Ruben Loftus-Cheek have all been linked with a move away, as well as Christian Pulisic, Hakim Ziyech and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. More

      First half facts and figures
      At least Chelsea are winning on tackles…

      Half-time – Man City 1-0 Chelsea
      The champions are in charge at the break thanks to a crisply-taken Julian Alvarez goal.
      Man City 1-0 Chelsea
      45+2. Fernandez’s free-kick clatters into the wall, but almost falls kindly for Sterling.
      However, Lewis was just as alert as the Chelsea forward and stuck out a long leg to claw the ball away for the visitors’ first corner of the match.
      It’s a corner that comes to nothing.
      Man City 1-0 Chelsea
      45. The fourth official’s board goes up to signal one minute of stoppage time.
      At that very moment, Laporte clatters into Fernandez to gift Chelsea. a free-kick 25 yards from goal.
      Man City 1-0 Chelsea
      44. There’s not much happening in the game right now which perhaps explains why Gary Neville has turned his attention to discussing the relegation run-in for Everton, Leeds and Leicester.
      Man City 1-0 Chelsea
      42. Kalvin Phillips is keen to make up for lost time.
      He lines up a shot from 30 yards out that whistles off target.
      Man City 1-0 Chelsea
      40. Five minutes until half-time, and City have retaken a grip on possession.
      Some of these players are doing their bid to play in the club’s upcoming finals no harm whatsoever.
      Man City 1-0 Chelsea
      38. The noise levels have dipped slightly inside the Etihad with Chelsea coming into the game.
      I’m not sure why really, it’s not as if there are any reasons for City’s fans to be nervous at what might happen.
      Man City 1-0 Chelsea
      36. Gallagher rattles the post!
      There’s been a shift in momentum now, and Chelsea are at least beginning to show some attacking effort.
      Hall picks out Gallagher with a curling cross, and the midfielder’s stooping header rebounds off the base of the goalframe and away via the knee of Ortega.

      Man City 1-0 Chelsea
      35. Oh, Ruben Loftus-Cheek is playing.
      I’d completely forgotten about that.
      Man City 1-0 Chelsea
      33. Another chance for Chelsea, and this is one they should score.
      Fernandez and Sterling combine again to send the former City through on goal, but somewhere between a weak shot and a strong hand, Ortega manages to keep the ball out.
      Man City 1-0 Chelsea
      31. A rare Chelsea attack.
      Fernandez picks out Sterling in the box, whose first touch is cut out by Walker, only for the ball to bounce back off the Chelsea man and behind for a goal kick.
      Man City 1-0 Chelsea
      30. Foden! So close to the sensational!
      The City forward takes a lovely touch to control Phillips’ smart pass, and then unleashes a glorious chipped volley towards the top corner of Kepa’s goal from the edge of the penalty area.
      The Chelsea keeper is beaten, but unfortunately for Goal of the Season compilers, it drops inches wide.
      Man City 1-0 Chelsea
      28. This is like a testimonial game.
      Manchester City are playing through Chelsea time and time again without getting out of first gear.
      Man City 1-0 Chelsea
      26. Manchester City fans have begun doing the Poznan.
      You’d think if anyone had a reason for turning their back on the pitch it would be the away supporters.

      Man City 1-0 Chelsea
      24. City go close to a sensational second.
      Foden and Lewis exchange passes midway inside the Chelsea half with the former then slipping Palmer in on the left to shoot.
      Firing across goal, it’s only a Fofana slide that gets a touch on the ball and stops it from finding the corner before Chalobah boots to safety.
      Man City 1-0 Chelsea
      21. The sun’s out, and these Manchester City fans are enjoying watching their reserves toy with Chelsea.
      Man City 1-0 Chelsea
      19. The director hovers on a shot of the Chelsea caretaker manager during a break in play.
      Co-commentator Gary Neville decides it’s time to drop a truth bomb or two: “Every time I see Frank Lampard, he has the look of someone who really doesn’t like his players.”
      Man City 1-0 Chelsea – Havertz yellow card
      17. An air of frustration creeping in already? Havertz lunges in on Phillips with a horrible challenge, and receives a yellow card from Michael Oliver.
      The VAR do take an extended look at it, but eventually declare themselves satisfied with the on-pitch referee’s original decision.
      Man City 1-0 Chelsea
      15. Manchester City’s players are literally queuing up to score a second.
      Alvarez gets in the way of Foden’s shot after another Palmer cross from the left, and Mahrez is unable to mop up at the back post.
      Man City 1-0 Chelsea
      13. Azpilicueta looks as though he wishes he were anywhere else right now.
      He could have been playing for Barcelona this season…
      Man City 1-0 Chelsea
      11. The champions have the lead!
      Wesley Fofana gives the ball away unnecessarily in his own half, and City waste no time in taking advantage.
      With Cesar Azpilicueta and Trevoh Chalobah out of position, Cole Palmer pushes forward and slips a pass right to Julian Alvarez, who arrows past Kepa Arrizabalaga to score.
      Simple. Scintillating. City.

      The party begins!

      Hero West Ham fan ‘Knollsy’ given standing ovation as he takes his seat for Leeds clash after fighting off AZ mob

      by

      WEST HAM fan “Knollsy” was given a standing ovation from the Hammers faithful after his heroics during the crowd trouble at AZ Alkmaar.Dutch ultras attempted to storm the away end and attack West Ham supporters following David Moyes’ side’s triumph in their Europa Conference League semi-final on Thursday.

      But Knollsy, real name Chris Knoll, could be seen stopping the AZ thugs getting to the travelling fans as he fought them off at the top of the stairs.
      He made his triumphant return to the London Stadium on Sunday afternoon for West Ham’s clash with Leeds.
      And he was given a warm reception by his fellow Irons supporters as they stood to applaud him as he made his way to his seat ahead of the game.
      One West Ham fan also shared a picture with “Knollsy” on the tube on the way to the game.
      READ MORE ON WEST HAM
      West Ham fan Freddie Bonfanti was in the crowd on Thursday night and took to social media to post: “Knollsy the legend. Stopped the home fans from getting to the players’ families.
      “We were stormed by AZ’s supporters. Knollsy has recently had a hip replacement and simply could not run.
      “He is also a proud man and he was genuinely concerned about the players’ partners and ex-West Ham players sitting all around us.
      “He did what he had to do. I am proud to call him a mate and glad he stopped what could have been a much worse incident.

      “We were sitting behind [West Ham defender] Thilo Kehrer’s girlfriend. Knollsy was worried about her and walked to the top of the stairwell, fending off the storming Alkmaar fans.
      “He is a lovely bloke and did what he felt was right at the time. He stopped those fans.”
      London-born Alkmaar boss Pascal Jansen admitted he was “ashamed” of the ugly scenes, while Moyes also revealed how his elderly father was caught up in the mayhem.
      The West Ham boss said: “I can’t explain what happened and why it happened. The players were involved because it was the family section. That was probably the reason for the reaction.
      “I don’t want that in any way to blight the night because the West Ham fans weren’t looking for trouble. Hopefully they’ll look into it.
      “My family were there and I had friends in that section. You’re hoping they would try and get themselves away from it. I didn’t recognise it because I was too happy.
      “Security wanted to take me inside but I had to make sure my players weren’t involved.”
      Lucas Paqueta, Aaron Cresswell, and Flynn Downes were all involved in the chaos too and were held back by security and stewards.
      Director of football Mark Noble tried in vain to restrain Michail Antonio, who leapt over advertising hoardings to defend the fans and families.
      Members of the Irons’ coaching staff – including Kevin Nolan – were seen berating stewards for their failure to intervene.
      While captain Declan Rice and forward Jarrod Bowen were also seen confronting members of the crowd, with the former appearing to throw an object in their direction.

      Meanwhile, West Ham’s match with Leeds comes as the club celebrate reaching the Europa Conference League final.
      They will face Fiorentina on June 7 as they bid to end their 43-year wait for a trophy. More

      Mejia, 20, is currently in Indonesia playing for Colombia in the Under-20 World Cup and both the player and United hope to find some interest off the back of that.
      United signed Mejia from Real Zaragoza in 2019.
      And despite being born in Spain, Mejia has been recognised by Colombia for the Under-20 finals, as he qualifies for the South Americans through his parents.
      United manager Erik ten Hag invited the winger to train with the senior squad last month after Marcus Rashford’s injury.

      Mejia is not the first youngster the club is looking to reward with a new deal.
      The Red Devils did the same with Alejandro Garnacho, who penned a five-year contract believed to be worth around £50,000 a week.
      Garnacho has been enjoying a breakout season at Old Trafford with six goals and six assists in 34 appearances across all competitions.
      The Manchester giants are also set to offer Facundo Pellistri a new contract.

      Pellistri has broken into the first team under Ten Hag and impressed this season.
      The winger played for Uruguay at the 2022 World Cup and has seen his game time increase since the tournament in Qatar.
      Both the United board and Ten Hag are said to be pleased with the 21-year-old’s development and they are keen to tie him down for the future. More
