      De Gea’s contract is set to expire on Friday and he is yet to agree a new contract with the Red Devils.
      The Spanish keeper had reportedly signed a contract extension before the club backed out due to Ten Hag’s concerns over De Gea.
      He now looks set to leave the club after 12 years, having posted a cryptic tweet on Wednesday as his contract runs down.
      Ten Hag has even dropped a hint De Gea is leaving after reportedly stopping Heaton from joining Luton Town this summer.

      The Telegraph report the United boss is reluctant to allow the veteran keeper to leave despite his desire to depart.
      A move to Luton would have seen the 37-year-old become the newly promoted side’s first-choice between the sticks.
      However, Ten Hag is unwilling to lose the former England international as his goalkeeping conundrum continues.
      Heaton returned to United in 2021 but has since made just three competitive appearances, largely acting as a back-up to De Gea.

      Fellow understudy Dean Henderson is also expected to leave United this summer, despite recent reports claiming he could stay at the club.
      As for a new goalkeeper, United have been strongly linked with a move for Inter Milan’s Andre Onana.
      The Italian giants’ transfer chief flew into Manchester earlier this week in a bid to finalise the deal, but the transfer is still to be agreed.

      Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg lined up for stunning transfer to Spanish giants with Spurs future plunged into doubt

      by

      ATLETICO MADRID are keen on Tottenham’s Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.SunSport revealed earlier this month that the Dane’s future in North London is looking uncertain as he is not a natural fit in the free-flowing system of new boss Ange Postecoglou.

      Spurs are by no means desperate to sell him as he is a model pro but would be open to letting him go next month.
      A number of clubs have been weighing up a move – with Spanish giants Atletico among them.
      Though SunSport understands there has been no contact yet between the two clubs.
      Hojbjerg, 27, has racked up 145 appearances for Spurs since arriving from Southampton for £15million in 2020.

      He was a favourite of pragmatic bosses Jose Mourinho, Nuno Espirito Santo and Antonio Conte.
      Yet it is questionable if he would start in the attack-minded Postecoglou’s side, which has just been bolstered by the arrival of James Maddison for £40m plus add-ons.
      Spurs, who have already added goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario for £16m from Empoli, are looking at strengthening at centre-back now.
      Bayer Leverkusen’s Edmond Tapsoba, Fulham’s Tosin Adarabioyo and Wolfsburg’s Micky van de Ven – dubbed the quickest central defender in the Bundesliga – are all on their radar.

      He has scored 14 goals in 71 appearances since joining the club, but he fell out of favour last summer following the arrival of Robert Lewandowski.
      Barcelona are expected to complete the signing of Vitor Roque in the next few weeks, which would likely see Torres fall further down the pecking order.

      Chelsea star Mason Mount and Brighton’s Moises Caicedo have emerged as two key targets but United could also add youth to their midfield.
      Neves is just 18-years-old but he made 20 appearances in his breakthrough season at Benfica, including three games in the Champions League, and he has been likened to Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves.
      And according to transfer guru Gianluca Di Marzio his performances have attracted attention from United.
      Bayern Munich and Wolves are also reported to be interested in the midfielder, with Neves potentially leaving Molineux to join Al-Hilal.

      But United could be the first to make a bid – once they wrap up moves for Mount and Caicedo.
      The Red Devils have had three offers knocked back by Chelsea for Mount, with the Blues demanding £65million.
      Club representatives have also contacted Brighton over a potential deal for Caicedo, who could cost £80m.

      Now Bayern are ready to test Tottenham’s resolve with an £80million bid after seeing a previous offer rejected.
      SunSport understands Daniel Levy will remain stubborn in negotiations but that has not deterred Bayern’s advances.
      And according to German journalist Christian Falk the Bundesliga champions are confident of striking a deal due to an alleged agreement Kane has with Levy.
      Bayern are even said to be prepared to wait until when next summer when Kane will be out of contract and available on a free transfer.

      Falk, who writes for Bild, told BBC 5 Live: “Thomas Tuchel is working like a manager in England so can decide who is coming and who is not and there have been talks with Kane’s family.
      “Bayern Munich would not have made an offer if they weren’t sure that Harry Kane would go. First step was clearing the detail with Kane’s family and then making the offer.

      “The point is that Bayern are in another league. Kane has a gentleman’s agreement with Daniel Levy that he is allowed to go to another league if there is another offer that he is really interested in.
      “Now, yes, Harry Kane wants the move because you know the thing about Tottenham and titles. If you go to Bayern Munich, it’s a title guaranteed and this is the main interest for Kane at the moment.

      “If he won’t move this summer, then they will wait. Tottenham have to decide if they want to get €80m, or even €90m, but next year there is no money for Harry Kane.”
      Privately, Levy has not given up hope of convincing Kane to pen a new deal in North London.
      And the club insist no bid has been lodged for their star man.
      Real Madrid had been keen but have reportedly cooled their interest.
      Manchester United have also been linked with Kane but didn’t hold out much hope that the signing was possible. More
