      Since joining the Red Devils he has become a regular member of the side, appearing in nine games in all competitions, scoring one goal.
      Sabitzer has left the door open to a permanent move to Old Trafford already since his arrival in January.
      But fans are now fearing that a transfer could be scuppered by the former Chelsea manager.
      One tweeted: “Damn! Tuchel is likely to spoil this deal for us.”

      A second wrote: “The Tuchel hiring might change the situation a bit you know. I’d deffo take him any day of the week tho, esp for a small fee for such a great player.”
      A third commented: “Tuchel will not let him leave the club or go cheaply if he doesn’t wants him.”
      A fourth said: “He’s going back to Bayern with Tuchel in charge.”
      While a fifth added: “I’m worried that he is a player that Tuchel could want to keep though.”

      And a sixth declared: “Tuchel loves hardworking players. I sense he will offload Gravenberch and recall Sabitzer.”
      Sabitzer’s deal with United does not include an option to buy and therefore, it will be up to Bayern and Tuchel to decide if he will be sold.
      Under former manager Julian Nagelsmann, it had seemed that Sabitzer’s career at Bayern was over, but that could now change. More

      Mount, 24, is entering the final year of his deal with the club and will be able to leave for free after the 2023/24 season.
      But Potter has distanced himself from the decision over the player’s future.
      He said: “I have nothing but positive things to say about Mason.
      “He has been brilliant, supportive, but it’s between him and the club about how they can sort out the situation.

      “It’s about the player, the club… lots of things that I’m not in control of”.
      Mount has had a frustrating season for Chelsea, having only scored three times and assisted two goals in the Premier League this season.
      Following the decline in his form, the Blues have been reluctant to meet the player’s wage demands that would put him among the squad’s top earners.
      According to reports, Chelsea have set a £70million price tag on Mount.

      Tuchel and Mount enjoyed a good working relationship while at Chelsea together.
      Liverpool and Manchester United have also been linked with interest in the England international.
      After the Blues announced losses of £121m in the latest financial year, a mass clearout is expected, with Mount one player touted to lead the exodus.
      This clearout could see the likes of Christian Pulisic, Hakim Ziyech, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Kepa Arrizabalaga and Romelu Lukaku exit the club this summer.
      Those six unwanted players’ contracts add up to a staggering £58.5M a year in wages.
      Losses of £121m last year make it vital for Todd Boehly to balance the books and keep the Financial Fair Play cops at bay.
      The huge wages are referred to as the “Chelsea premium” by club insiders.
      Chelsea have run up a bill  that could reach £606m, including add-ons and loan fees, on new players since Boehly led an American takeover last spring. More

      Antonio Conte was RIGHT to blast Tottenham stars, they don’t bloody win and have no good senior pros says Graeme Souness

      by

      ANTONIO CONTE was right to blast Tottenham players as they don’t win anything, claims Graeme Souness. The Italian left Spurs last Sunday after his shocking rant at the club and his players after a 3-3 draw with Southampton.

      Conte was critical of his team’s attitude and the owner, citing that many top managers have failed to lift a trophy there.
      Liverpool legend Souness believes that he was right to slam Tottenham stars.
      He told the Mail: “Ultimately, Conte was right, it comes back to the players.
      “They might talk like big players and big characters, but are they?
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      “I would suggest not, because they don’t bloody win anything.
      “And what is a big player? Is it someone who gathers those around him and makes them better? Or is it just about being selfish and looking after your own game?
      “As a manager, you have no chance of being successful unless you have good senior pros. That will never change. I would suggest, therein lies your problem at Spurs. 
      “Those characters help the manager, they do his job for him in the dressing room, because you can’t be having a pop at them every week. They keep the weak personalities in line and drag them through difficult parts of a season.

      “I’m not sure Tottenham have any of those players and it strikes me they are crying out for senior pros who will take responsibility, dig others out and be prepared to go out on a limb for the cause.
      “They should be winning trophies. They’re based in London, so it’s no problem attracting players. They pay the wages. They’ve got the best football stadium in the world and I can’t tell you a better training ground I’ve been to.
      “Everything is in place. They are the great underachievers.”
      Souness also cites some personal challenges as to why Conte seemed to have had enough at Spurs.
      He had recently undergone gallbladder surgery, his family still live in Italy and the death of coach Gian Piero Ventrone and friend Gianluca Vialli must have hit him hard.
      Spurs have not won a trophy since 2008 when they lifted the League Cup.
      They remain in the hunt to qualify for next season’s Champions League.
      Cristian Stellini’s side sit fourth two points above Newcastle, who have two matches in hand. More

      Kieran Tierney transfer latest as ex-Celtic star has ‘genuine chance of leaving Arsenal this summer’

      by

      KIERAN TIERNEY reportedly has a ‘genuine chance’ of leaving Arsenal in the summer.The former Celtic star has struggled for regular football this season after falling behind Oleksandr Zinchenko in Mikel Arteta’s pecking order.
      Kieran Tierney has only started four times for Arsenal in the Premier League this seasonCredit: PA
      Tierney left The Hoops and moved to London in 2019, initially being a key player in Arteta’s side.
      His fine form early on had sparked links to the likes of Manchester City – with hopeful Celtic fans looking out for a potential payday from the sell-on fee their side agreed at the time.
      The 25-year-old is now back fully fit again – but with Gunners boss Arteta continuing to prefer former City ace Zinchenko in his position – rumours of a move away from The Emirates have once again began to circulate.
      At the start of this month we told you how Tierney held crunch talks with his manager about the role he’s currently playing.

      And that was quickly followed up by reports he would be open to switching to Premier League rivals Newcastle United in search of regular game time.
      Now according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, there is a ‘genuine chance’ a deal to take the Scotland star elsewhere will take place in the near future.
      He reckons talks over the situation will resume at the end of the season while Arsenal in the meantime focus on their pursuit of the English top flight title.
      He told Caught Offside: “Kieran Tierney has a genuine chance to leave Arsenal in the summer.
      Most read in Football
      “This is a possibility but Arsenal don’t want to negotiate now. They decided internally that there must be full focus on winning the Premier League; the big dream!
      “So there is no intention to distract the players including those who are not regular starters.
      “In the summer, Arsenal will discuss Tierney’s situation at the end of the season but the defender definitely has the opportunity to experience something new.”
      Despite his struggle for game time, Tierney still tops the English Premier League for one key stat alongside one of his former Parkhead team mates.
      He’s started just 13 of a possible 39 games this season in all competitions but has trumped all rivals in one specific measure of ability.

      And he faced a race against time to be fit in time for the visit of Jurgen Klopp’s Reds to the Etihad this lunchtime.
      However, he has lost that battle and will not be involved at all.
      It means Julian Alvarez will lead the line for the reigning Premier League champions with Riyad Mahrez and Jack Grealish out wide while Phil Foden continues his recovery from appendix surgery.
      Pep Guardiola, who named four centre-backs in defence, admitted on Friday he was not sure if he could risk his 42-goal hitman Haaland.
      READ MORE ON FOOTBALL
      The Manchester City boss said: “Erling is recovering. This afternoon is the last training session then we’ll see how he feels.
      “Again, the doctors and especially the player, will decide how he feels. Yesterday I spoke with him, and he feels good.
      “We will see. Life is risks and sometimes you have to take them.
      “He’s scored a lot of goals, he’s scored a lot, always we are a team to score a lot of goals in the season, this is what we try to do until the end of the season.”

      Haaland felt some discomfort in his groin after scoring a hat-trick in their 6-0 FA Cup thumping of Burnley on March 18.
      He reported for international duty with Norway later that weekend — but it soon became clear that he would not be ready to feature in their Euro 2024 qualifiers.
      The £51.4million star visited his club’s preferred medical experts in Barcelona, before taking some time to relax at his holiday home in Marbella.
      Haaland then returned to Manchester late on Sunday night — but has so far not taken part in a full squad session.
