      Ten Hag’s Red Devils continued their impressive progress on the pitch – despite a first half the boss described as “rubbish” and a “mess”.
      Marcus Rashford’s two goals took his tally for the season to 24 and put United firmly in the title race.
      Yet their long-term future is shrouded in uncertainty with Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Qatar based Sheikh Jassim both lodging bids over the weekend.
      Asked about the statement issued by MUST, Ten Hag said: “I thank the fans they have their trust in me. I feel committed with this club,

      “I love to be here but it is not in my influence. What I can influence is the performance of this team and I will do everything to continue.
      “We are committed with this club, it is our club, in our heart – but it is not our job.
      “We focus on football and perform and that is what the players and staff have to do.”
      United shook off a lacklustre first half to ensure they go into a huge week on a high note.

      Ten Hag admitted his team were fortunate to be ahead at the break, saying: “We have to follow the rules and principles from our way of playing. When we don’t. it is getting a mess.
      “We were really lucky at half-time we were one goal up – great pass from Bruno [Fernandes], great finish from Rashy [Rashford]. But the rest is rubbish.”
      Rashford struck either side of the break and also had a hand in the third goal scored by his fellow England man Jadon Sancho.
      The forward has now had his most prolific season for United and said: “It’s still early in the season, we’re fighting for a lot of different things.
      “There is always something to look forward to and I don’t feel like slowing down. I always try to improve.”
      As for a title challenge, Rashford said: “We’re there, we’re close but at the same time both teams in front of us are really good teams and playing good football.
      “We have to just focus on ourselves, do as well as we can and keep picking up points.”
      Leicester were disappointed they had nothing to show from a bright opening – but Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers felt there was a key moment in the first half.
      United’s new boy Marcel Sabitzer somehow escaped unpunished for an X-rated challenge on Wout Faes.

      Rodgers said: “It is a sending off, a straight leg on to the knee, how it was not looked at is incredible.
      “I don’t know why. Someone has said it was after an incident but I don’t buy that.”

      Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano claims the former Brazil international, who is now a free agent, will return to Madrid to be with his family.
      The 34-year-old will then consider available options in other countries.
      Romano tweeted: “Official: Marcelo leaves Olympiacos with immediate effect as contract has been terminated.
      “Marcelo’s now available on the market as free agent.

      “Understand Brazilian LB will look for new options in other countries — while he’s back in Madrid with his family.”
      According to Marca, Real have agreed to let Marcelo train in their facilities in his bid to regain full fitness, something he never managed to do at Olympiacos.
      The six-time LaLiga champion arrived in poor form and expressed his displeasure of being dropped from the squad just before last November’s derby against rivals Panathinaikos.
      Marcelo would often be left out of manager Michel’s squad, even when there weren’t any left-back options.

      The defender has reportedly attracted interest from the MLS, Middle East and Brazil.
      The Brazilian only managed 10 appearances for Olympiacos and three goals, all of which he scored against Chris Coleman’s Atromitos across two games.
      The Piraeus giants looked to offload Real’s all-time most decorated player’s hefty contract with Michel looking to cut down on his inflated squad.
      However, Marcelo’s arrival did lead to profit for the club thanks to the shirt sales.
      The five-time Champions League winner issued a touching message to thank Olympiacos.
      Marcelo posted: “I have lived unforgettable moments in Greece, in which I was warmly welcomed to a new home, not only for me, but also for my family.
      “Piraeus and its people have all my heart and this won’t be my last time in this amazing country.
      “I can only express gratitude for wearing the Olympiacos jersey. Even though the brief stay, the experience and the friends I made there will be forever marked in my life.
      “Today I say goodbye but I’m leaving my affection and respect to the President, my teammates, all the employees and fans of the club. I wish Olympiacos a successful future!”
      Olympiacos also bid Marcelo farewell with a message of gratitude, insisting he will always have friends in Piraeus.

      A club statement read: “The entire Olympiacos family thanks Marcelo for his cooperation and presence at Thrylos.
      “His stint was short, but enough to create lifelong bonds. He knows that in Greece, in Piraeus, he will always have friends!”

      The centre-back is way down the pecking order as manager Erik ten Hag prefers left-back Luke Shaw when his favourite pair of Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane isn’t available.
      Saha has noticed the England international’s confidence has dropped and insists he will have to improve quickly if he ultimately wishes to stay.
      The 29-year-old has been linked with a move away from United with West Ham and Inter Milan expressing interest.
      Saha told Paddy Power: “Harry Maguire must look for a move away from Manchester United because his form is going to drop as he won’t play much.

      “The way United play at the back, dominating and playing forward-thinking football, Maguire takes too many touches, and they lose the opportunity to attract the opponent on to them.
      “That’s what happens when your confidence is low. We see it when opponents try to press Raphael Varane or Lisandro Martínez, they can cope with ease, unlike Maguire.
      “It’s difficult seeing the club captain not playing, but he still has a smile on his face.
      “No one will be annoyed at him for wanting to play more minutes as he’s also a very important player for England.

      “He needs minutes and his style would suit a team who are very compact defensively and hit teams on the counter.
      “But right now, United need a very composed and agile player at the back, able to maintain the quality going forwards.
      “If Maguire wants to stay, he has to improve very quickly and take any opportunity he gets in the team.
      “It’s a big challenge for Maguire. He can play for Manchester United but given the players ahead of him in the team, he’s not going to get the minutes he needs if he wants to remain at the top.” More

      The Red Devils will try to get Spanish No 1 De Gea, 32, to extend his stay and are working towards a compromise figure.
      They are prepared to keep his pay high — but not at £375,000-a-week as it stands.
      United also want to line up the keeper who will eventually take over.
      Dean Henderson returns from his loan at Nottingham Forest in the summer but is set to be sold to get the first-team action he wants.

      United are willing to wait until there is a starting place to offer Meslier.
      The complication will be if Leeds go down and Meslier is sold.
      United would then have to move swiftly to stop him going elsewhere.
      Leeds dropped into the bottom three on Saturday with a 1-0 away loss at Everton.

      And Hammers are hot on his trail, with boss David Moyes sending trusted spy Alan Irvine to watch him in action last week.
      Milinkovic-Savic, 27, will have plenty of interest in the next window but he may now be in West Ham’s range as the bigger clubs seem to have overlooked him.
      The powerful and skilful operator is a Moyes type and has similarities to Rice, who is likely to be sold at the end of the season.
      Hammers expect a massive offer for Rice, who will be tempted by a super salary as one of the biggest captures around.

      So Moyes is scouring the market for replacements.
      West Ham are also watching developments with Kalvin Phillips at Manchester City.
       The midfielder was not enthusiastic when they tried for him a year ago while he was still at Leeds.
      But that may change if he wants more first-team football again.

      The Serbia international has amassed a total of six goals and eight assists in 30 appearances across all competitions this season. More

      Newcastle boss Eddie Howe reportedly made the midfielder his priority transfer target last month following two failed attempts to sign him on a permanent deal.
      And he is expected to make another bid to sign him before the 2023-24 Premier League season kicks off.
      Despite the growing interest from Newcastle, Leicester chiefs have been eager to keep Maddison in the East Midlands by offering him a new contract.
      However, Rodgers has admitted that he does not want to beg the midfielder to stay.

      When asked about Maddison’s future during his press conference ahead of Sunday’s league clash with Manchester United, the Foxes boss said: “It’s a conversation we’ve been having with James’ representatives for a while so there’s no change in that.
      “For me, it’s about making sure that, despite whatever the situation is, that James is playing at the best level he can be.
      “Thankfully as a player he’s got experience now, he’s very focused on purely doing his best for us and staying available and fit.
      “He’s a top player in the league and he’s shown that in his time here, gradually from when he’s come in to the position he’s in now, you can see that development take place.

      “I think that’s the type of club we are – we’ll develop players, we’ll improve players, we can give them great conditions to work in – but I won’t be begging for a player to stay.”
      Maddison has less than 18 months remaining on his current contract, so Leicester could be forced to cash-in on him this summer if he decides against signing a new deal.
      While Newcastle maintain a strong interest in signing him, Manchester City are also keen to strike a deal.
      Bernardo Silva is expected to leave the club at the end of the season and Pep Guardiola reportedly believes that Maddison could be the ideal player to fill the void. More
