      Man Utd ‘consider offering Victor Lindelof in swap deal for World Cup winner’ in summer transfer

      The Italian news outlet reported that United’s interest in Pavard, 27, remained ‘strong’.
      The Frenchman, who won the 2018 World Cup, joined Inter Milan for an alleged £27.5million last summer.
      Ten Hag was interested in Pavard but his pursuit stalled when Harry Maguire failed to reach an agreement with West Ham.
      But it appears Ten Hag is back on the defender’s heels and is looking to rope in Lindelof as a bargaining chip for the one that got away.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      The Swede’s contract was extended for another year in January, but he has recently been starting on the bench after sitting out a large part of December with a groin injury.
      Lindelof hasn’t exactly shone in his last few performances and was recently rated a four out of ten by The Sun, who called him a ‘fish out of water.’
      Elsewhere, the Spanish press have linked United with fellow Inter Milan player Lautaro Martinez.
      Fichajes reported that the striker, who has scored 19 Serie A goals this season, has caught the eye of Ten Hag.

      And Bayer Leverkusen wing back Jeremie Frimpong is also an option having been impressive for his team, who recently extended their unbeaten run to 31 matches.
      Frimpong, 23, is in high demand across Europe after his dazzling displays under Xabi Alonso.

      The Dutch international, who plays as an offensive wing-back, has scored eight goals and registered 10 assists across all competitions.
      Teammate Edmond Tapsoba is also being considered by the Old Trafford ranks as they seek to add to their defence.
      Currently they’ve got Diogo Dalot manning the back along with Aaron Wan-Bissaka, but the latter’s season has been peppered with injury which is likely to prompt another defensive signing. More

      Theo Hernandez scored the only goal of the game after 25 minutes.
      It was a result of the partnership between the 26-year-old French international full-back and left winger Rafael Leao.
      The Portuguese forward brilliantly picked out Hernandez’s run behind the defence, with the ace racing through and making no mistake with his finish.
      And speaking to DAZN after the game, Pioli had many supporters in stitches as he spoke about his star duo.

      When asked if they both looked to be back to their best, the 58-year-old Italian said: “Yes. Out of necessity Theo had made himself available to play as a central defender and in my opinion he did it brilliantly.
      “On the wing they hear each other, they smell each other, they know each other, they kiss each other, I kiss them too when they score a goal (laughs).”
      Pioli then added: “I think Theo had difficulty last year in getting over the disappointment of the World Cup final, the fatigue of the World Cup in that period.
      “This year when we restarted the season I found him to be very positive, very proactive.

      His trophy collection also included ten Serie A titles, six Coppa Italia’s and the Ligue 1.
      The former goalkeeper never managed to get his hands on a Champions League despite being in the final three times.
      However, Buffon insists the biggest regret in his life came when he was just 18 years old.
      Speaking at an event in Biella via Repubblica, he explained: “I’ve made a lot of mistakes, especially, especially when I was young.

      In fact, Buffon says “doesn’t care” about his failure to win the Champions League because playing in it was joyous enough for him.
      He said: “It’s never been a wound for me, for me it was the incentive to fight every year for something extremely big.
      “If I then have to say a general thing that touches the Juve world, team-mates and managers, I was very sorry for them and for the fans who have yearned for this cup for more or less thirty years.

      Serie A has 20 teams and the changes could see that number reduced to 18 – but several clubs oppose the plan.
      Club bosses from both Milan teams and Juventus have met to discuss the proposals and are all in favour, report Sky Sports Italia.
      The Serie A expanded from 18 to 20 clubs in 2004, equalling the number in the Premier League.
      But Italy’s big three argue a reduction would ease a busy fixture list while increasing the quality of football on offer.

      The potential restructure is set to be debated by the FIGC during a meeting on March 11.
      Italy’s big three dominate Serie A with Napoli’s title success last year the first time one of the trio did not win the league since 2001.
      All three clubs were also involved in plans to form a Super League in 2021.
      Even after plans were killed off Juventus refused to back down from the project along with Barcelona and Real Madrid.

      My dad was a World Cup-winning one-club legend, now I’m making my own way in a different country

      by

      CRISTIAN TOTTI is making his own way as he looks to live up to the legend of his famous Dad, Francesco.Like his father, Cristian is a forward that came through the ranks at Roma, but their career arcs have already branched apart.

      While Francesco spent his entire career in the Eternal City, Cristian left for pastures new when he turned 18, joining Frosinone’s youth side.
      After making three appearances in Serie A’s youth league, the Primavera, Cristian has made an eye catching loan transfer to Rayo Vallecano.
      Vallecano, the suburban Madrid side overshadowed by the much more famous Real, are renowned for their brand of direct attacking football in LaLiga.
      They were managed by Bournemouth coach Andoni Iraola until the start of this season, and his replacement, Francisco Rodriguez, has the club sat mid-table in the league on a shoestring budget.
      READ MORE FOOTBALL NEWS
      Even in joining the club, there is an echo of Cristian’s father’s past.
      Francesco Totti wrote in The Observer that a move to Madrid that was mooted in 2005 would have made him the highest paid player in the world by some distance.
      He said that it was the most his loyalties to Roma had ever been tested in his career, but that he ultimately chose to remain loyal to his boyhood club – where he would retire as a one-club man in 2017.
      Totti Snr won one scudetto with Roma in 2001, and memorably won the World Cup with a star-studded Italy team in 2006.

      Cristian is not the only son of an Italian World Cup legend to be playing in LaLiga right now, with Alessandro Del Piero’s son, Tobias, playing for Getafe.
      According to Italian outlet Il Messaggero, Francesco has been accompanying his son to training every day while he settles in Vallecano.

      Cristian is expected to play the majority of his football with Vallecano’s youth team, rather than the first-team – having never made a senior appearance in his career.
      Vallecano do have some recognisable Premier League representation in their squad, with former Manchester United winger Bebe being one of the club’s talismen. More
