      Man Utd ‘line up two Chelsea stars as Red Devils look to transfer market to solve defensive crisis’

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED may turn to rivals Chelsea as they look to solve their left-back woes.Luke Shaw, 28, and Tyrell Malacia, 24, have struggled with injuries and full-back has been one of their weak points in recent years.Chelsea could be willing to sell at least one left-back over the summerCredit: GettyThe Blues have climbed above Manchester United in the tableCredit: GettyOld Trafford chiefs are set for a busy summer in the transfer market whoever is in the dugout.And transfer guru Simon Phillips claims Chelsea stars Ben Chilwell, 27, and Marc Cucurella, 25 are on their radar.Both come with concerns over injury and form and would be unlikely to get United fans excited.Juan Mata, Nemanja Matic and Mason Mount have all followed this path in recent years – to varying degrees of success.READ MORE MAN UTD NEWSChelsea may let at least one of the duo leave this summer as Todd Boehly continues to shake things up at Stamford Bridge.United started the season the stronger of the clubs but the injury-hit Blues have climbed above them in the table.The Red Devils are undergoing a revolution of their own after Sir Jim Ratcliffe took over football operations.SunSport exclusively revealed they are speeding up the arrival of top scout Sam Williams as their plans take shape.Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERSHe previously worked for the Red Devils as an academy scout and first team recruitment analyst between 2017 to 2022.United are aiming to build a “best-in-class” academy recruitment team, with Williams taking on the role of lead scout.Man Utd’s problems laid bare with WATERFALL flooding through Old Trafford’s leaky roof as heavens open vs ArsenalAcross the last six months, they have swooped for staff from Ipswich, Cardiff and Blackburn to bolster the area.Meanwhile, several scouts have been promoted and changed roles within the club.Williams’ return follows the arrival of Jason Wilcox as technical director.But their biggest recruitment move is likely to be a new manager with Erik ten Hag set to be axed.SunSport’s verdict on Man Utd flopsSir Jim Ratcliffe and Ineos have a busy summer ahead to get Man Utd’s squad in order for next season. Below SunSport gives it verdict on how they should deal with the Red Devils flops this summer.
      Andre Onana – STAY: After a dodgy start at Old Trafford Onana has proven to be one of the more reliable members of the squad this season despite being peppered with shots constantly.
      Altay Bayindir – GO: Reports in February suggested Bayindir was unhappy with his bit part role at Man Utd amid interest from Turkish giants Galatasaray. If profit can be made on a sale then it should be done.
      Tom Heaton – STAY: Veteran goalkeeper Heaton, 38, is a reliable back-up and is on a relatively small wage at the club. So long as he is happy it makes sense to keep him.
      Aaron Wan-Bissaka – GO: Wan-Bissaka, 26, has never managed to make the right-back position his own. With his contract up in 2025 it makes sense to cash in now.
      Diogo Dalot – STAY: Dalot, 26, has been one of Man Utd’s most consistent performers this season.
      Raphael Varane – GO: If it wasn’t for his injury record there would be a strong shout to keep Varane, but costs need to be cut to allow the squad to be freshened up.
      Harry Maguire – GO: Maguire has showed he has the right character to be at Man Utd but overall ability and desired profile are another matter, with Maguire too slow to play in a high line defence.
      Lisandro Martinez – STAY: Martinez, 26, is second to none in terms of build up play. He needs a long-term defensive partner on the right side and to cut out the injuries which have plagued him this season.
      Jonny Evans – GO: Veteran campaigner Evans could easily be on the stay list if he was only going to be a bit part player. But he has shown his advanced years at times this season.
      Victor Lindelof – GO:  Lindelof, 29, has been reliable if not unremarkable in his Man Utd career. He has one year left on his contract so should be moved on if a decent transfer fee can be got for him.
      Willy Kambwala – STAY: He should be given the opportunity to mature for a few years behind a senior CB pairing before stepping into the first team as a starter or being moved on.
      Luke Shaw – GO: One of the Premier League’s best left-backs when fit, Shaw has been a good servant when available. But alas that has been his Achilles heel once again this season.
      Tyrell Malacia – STAY: Malacia, 24, was decent enough to earn some merit in his first season at Man Utd before injury ended his season and inadvertently led to his second season being a write off.
      Sofyan Amrabat – GO: Amrabat, 27, looked like a world beater at the Qatar World Cup with Morocco. But he’s had an underwhelming season in England and his loan spell will almost certainly not be made permanent.
      Casemiro – GO: An alarming physical decline has seen him turn from key star to burden. If a club is willing to buy the 32-year-old – who has two more years on his contract – then United should snatch their hand off.
      Christian Eriksen – GO: Eriksen proved a useful asset and Ineos should look to bring in another player with similar traits, but frankly his legs have looked gone towards the end of this season.
      Kobbie Mainoo – STAY: The first of the so-called untouchables, Mainoo has been a rare glimmer of hope in the Red Devils midfield this season.
      Mason Mount – STAY: Mount can be given the benefit of the doubt until summer 2025 at least after a debut season riddled with injury.
      Scott McTominay – STAY: McTominay, 27, has proven himself to be a brilliant plan B off the bench this season, and that is exactly why Ineos should look to keep him.
      Bruno Fernandes – STAY: Man Utd’s best player since his arrival just over four years ago, Fernandes, 29, remains second-to-none when it comes to creating chances while his tenacity boosts those around him.
      Antony – GO: There’s a case to argue that Antony may be the worst pound-for-pound signing in Premier League history. Despite some memorable moments he simply isn’t Man Utd quality.
      Anthony Martial – GO: Ultimately Martial needs to be let go when his deal runs out this summer after an appalling injury record of late.
      Marcus Rashford – STAY: As easy as it would be to say Rashford should leave the club this summer, it is difficult to look at the market and find many available players capable of scoring 30 goals a season.
      Alejandro Garnacho – STAY: Another third of the untouchables trio, Garnacho has made the right-wing his own since coming into it. He’s a raw talent but has shown he has the quality to improve.
      Rasmus Hojlund – STAY: A slow burner in his first Man Utd season, the 21-year-old has often been starved of supply which has led to him being unable to get the goals his movement and unselfish play often merits.
      Amad Diallo – STAY: In the fleeting moments he has been on the pitch for Man Utd this season, Diallo has looked dangerous and exciting. He should be given a chance to flourish with some proper chances in the first team across a whole season. More

      Everton blow as Premier League chief drops biggest hint yet that takeover will NEVER be accepted

      by

      PREMIER LEAGUE boss Richard Masters has given the strongest hint yet that the League will NEVER accept 777 Partners as the owners of Everton.Masters has come under fire for the drawn-out process that has seen Prem lawyers receive to green light the £500m deal after EIGHT months.Farhad Moshiri’s hopes of selling Everton to 777 Partners look to be overCredit: PAThe league’s caution has been justified by the financial chaos that seems to be plunging the Miami-based company to the brink of collapse.Founding partners Josh Wander and Steve Pasko have been booted off the 777 board, the company could be stripped of its ownership of Belgians Standard Liege in a court case starting this week, while Goodison owner Farhad Moshiri appears to have finally accepted the takeover deal is dead in the water.And now Masters has told MPs in a Commons hearing that they can “make their own conclusions” about why the Prem has declined to ratify the agreement.Pressed by former Deputy Prime Minister Damian Green over the delay in coming to a decision, Masters said: “Let me be clear about what the Premier League’s role in this is.READ MORE EVERTON NEWS“As the regulator, it is to perform the owners and directors test – not to decide who the current owner wants to sell his club to. That is his decision.“At the moment he wants to consider having discussions with 777 about it.“The Premier League is very clear of the conditions that have to be met by 777 if it wishes to become the owner of Everton.“And at the moment, because the takeover has not been confirmed, I will leave it to the committee to make its own conclusions as to where we are with that.”Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERSMasters added that the planned Independent Football Regulator might be able to process potential takeover deals quicker than the league because of its enhanced powers.He said: “Some of the benefits of the regulatory ownership test will be them getting access to more information than we can have.Premier League club’s £500million stadium taking shape as incredible new pictures show building progress“We are not a statutory body so we can only get the information we are provided with.“I accept that takeovers that carry on for a long time are not good for fans’ certainty and that is why we have a very big team of people who do nothing else.“Over time I would say that particularly in the Premier League takeovers are becoming increasingly complex.“This is not a small undertaking to take this burden on which is why I want to remain involved in it as well.“These things are very complicated and we need to make sure that all those decisions are correct even if that means taking a little bit more time to make sure those decisions are correct.Latest on Everton’s new stadium
      EVERTON are still trying to build their new state-of-the-art stadium despite financial difficulties.
      Toffees’ fans were treated with new photos of the £760million construction of their Bramley-Moore Dock Stadium.
      The club hopes it will be ready in time for the 2025-26 campaign.
      However, the Merseysiders have failed to secure the funds for the next phase of the ground’s development.
      Here’s the lowdown on the stunning ground being built by the Toffees:
      Expected completion date: End of 2024
      Capacity: 53,000
      Cost: £760m
      Location: Bramley-Moore Docks, Liverpool
      Design: Bowl-shaped constructed from steel and glass
      Main features: 13,000-seat steep stand inspired by Dortmund’s ‘Yellow wall’, ‘ALL Experience’ that offers choice of social spaces from pubs, bars,  high-street style restaurants to fine-dining experiences, scoreboard

      “Maybe the Regulator could come to conclusions quicker.“But I know a little bit more about the background here and what the situation would be like.“I can’t say too much about it but I do think there are some benefits to the Regulator working in tandem with Leagues on this particular topic.”Quizzed further by Green on what should happen if the Prem and the Regulator disagreed on the suitability of a potential owner, Masters suggested: “Maybe it should be like the X Factor – where you need two green ticks to get in.READ MORE SUN STORIES“So you would have the Premier League operating its own test.“In the unlikely event that the Regulator said yes and we said no then that person couldn’t take over that club and vice versa.”Premier League chief executive Richard Masters was grilled by MPsCredit: PA More
