    Bale at Cardiff training ground
    Gareth Bale visited Cardiff’s training base where it is believed he held transfer talks with manager Steve Morison.
    The Wales legend is a free agent after confirming his departure from Real Madrid.

    And rumours of a sensational return to his place of birth has since followed with Bale on the hunt for a new side.
    It comes after he led Wales to a first World Cup in 64 years following their 1-0 play-off final triumph over war-torn Ukraine.
    In a recent development, the winger spoke with Cardiff boss Morison and discussed his future, according to WalesOnline.
    They claim Bale was undertaking physio at the club’s Vale of Glamorgan HQ with the FAW’s medical staff. 
    PSG blow for Chelsea and Spurs over Skriniar
    Chelsea and Tottenham have been dealt a blow after Paris Saint-Germain launched a second, improved bid for Milan Skriniar, according to reports.
    The two Premier League sides are desperately seeking defensive reinforcements this summer.
    Spurs have qualified for the Champions League after a three-year absence and will need to improve their squad depth to compete on all fronts.
    Meanwhile, Chelsea have already lost Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen and are expected to lose both Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso before the start of the new season.

    Both clubs have identified Skriniar, 27, as a target amid his stellar, five-year stint at Inter Milan.
    However, PSG currently lead the race after launching another bid for the in-demand Slovakia international.
    Inter are currently demanding around £68m for their star defender and are playing hardball as they face the prospect of losing fellow centre-back Alessandro Bastoni, potentially even to Chelsea or Spurs.
    Two weeks ago, PSG are said to have launched a cheeky £43m offer – well shy of the target.
    However, with Skriniar out of contract at the end of the coming season, Inter could accept a fee of closer to £50m.
    And multiple reports in Italy claim PSG have come back with an improved offer of £43m up front, with a further £4.3m in add ons.
    Henrikh snubs Roma for Inter
    Former Arsenal and Manchester United star Henrikh Mkhitaryan has completed his move to Inter Milan.
    The Armenian snubbed a new deal at Roma in favour of a move to Simone Inzaghi’s side.
    Mkhitaryan has spent the last three seasons at Roma playing a key role as they won the inaugural Conference League.

    He played 44 times in all competitions scoring five goals and assisting a further nine for Jose Mourinho’s side.
    The 33-year-old rose to fame while playing for Borussia Dortmund becoming the league’s top assister in the 2015/16 season.
    Consequently he earned a move to Man Utd for around £30million playing 63 games for the club.
    As part of the deal that saw Alexis Sanchez move to Old Trafford from Arsenal, Mkhitaryan moved the other way and featured 59 times for the Gunners.
    Inter have already confirmed the signing of goalkeeper Andre Onana from Ajax and appear to have a deal sorted to bring Romelu Lukaku back to the San Siro on loan.
    The Belgian striker is believed to have taken a pay cut to force the return to Italy. They remain interested in free agent Paulo Dybala with his time at Juventus over.
    Blues vs Red Devils for Rabiot
    Chelsea could battle Manchester United for Adrien Rabiot.
    That’s after Thomas Tuchel made direct contact with the Juventus midfielder this week.
    The Mail claims Rabiot is set for a fresh start after three years in Turin.
    The France international joined on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain in 2019.

    And Rabiot has gone on to score six times in 129 appearances.
    Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag is said to be a big fan of the resilient playmaker.

    Antony ‘desperate’ for Old Trafford move
    Antony is desperate to quit Ajax and be reunited with Erik ten Hag at Manchester United, according to reports.
    The Red Devils’ new manager is itching to kick off his squad overhaul with a move for the Brazilian winger.
    Antony, 22, shone under Ten Hag at Ajax winning two Eredivisie crowns and the KNVB Cup together.

    Last season, the forward scored 12 goals and laid on ten assists in 33 games in all competitions as the Dutch giants won the league title.
    And now, Antony is desperate to follow Ten Hag to Man Utd in order to continue his progression, according to Goal.
    Earlier this week, SunSport revealed United officials had flown in to Amsterdam to get a deal for the Brazilian over the line.
    The club are set to splash out £40million on Antony as their first summer signing. United have already lost Edinson Cavani and Jesse Lingard from their attacking ranks this summer.
    And they’re wasting no time in looking to replace them with a statement signing in Antony. The player had already revealed his admiration for Ten Hag.
    City odds-on to retain title
    Manchester City and Liverpool are favourites to be crowned 2022-23 Premier League champions.
    That’s according to bookmakers Betfair, who are predicting another two-horse race with Pep Guardiola’s Citizens available at 4/7 and Liverpool at 12/5.
    The dust has settled on the 2021-22 campaign with Manchester City landing their fourth title in the last five years.
    But it’s a quick turnaround with less than 50 days until the new 2022-23 season starts on August 6th, with the fixtures now released.
    It will include a six-week mid-season break to accommodate the World Cup in Qatar with the final round of fixtures to be played on the final weekend in May.
    Manchester City are odds-on favourites at 4/7 to defend their crown.
    And it’s easy to see why given they’ve already added Norwegian superstar Erling Haaland to their ranks.
    Betfair odds

    Manchester City – 4/7
    Liverpool – 12/5
    Tottenham – 14/1
    Chelsea – 16/1
    Manchester United – 25/1
    Arsenal – 40/1
    Newcastle – 100/1

    Blues take Clauss action
    Chelsea have made “initial contact” over signing Lens star Jonathan Clauss.
    That is according to Goal reporter Nizaar Kinsella, who claims the Blues are keeping tabs on Clauss.
    The West Londoners reportedly see the right-back at Cesar Azpilicueta’s replacement.
    The move would cost £10million and Atletico Madrid are also interested.
    It has been added that the France international is also a Chelsea fan.
    Maguire to stay
    Manchester United are set to keep Harry Maguire at Old Trafford this summer.
    But Maguire could be in danger of losing the captain’s armband under new manager Erik ten Hag.
    According to the Mail, the centre-back’s captaincy situation is “up in the air”.
    While the Red Devils will keep the England international, they could look to flog any of Eric Bailly, Phil Jones and Axel Tuanzebe.
    Should they successfully clear room, the Manchester giants will go after another centre-back this summer.
    Ultras don’t want proper Romelu welcome
    Scorned Inter Milan Ultras have fired a warning at Romelu Lukaku ahead of his imminent return to Italy.
    Chelsea have agreed to loan the Belgian back to the San Siro side for just £7million, a year after buying him for £97.5m.
    While it would appear great business for Inter on the pitch, a section of supporters have told others not to celebrate the return of their deadly former No9 too much.

    The Curva Nord were furious at the nature of Lukaku’s departure 12 months ago. They wrote at the time: “Despite the fact we protected you like a son, like one of us, you too proved yourself to be just like all the rest, going to your knees for money.”
    Addressing fellow supporters now, Curva Nord have urged fans not to “run and drool” after him – instead claiming that he will have to earn their affection back with “humility and sweat”.
    They wrote: “Curva Nord supports Inter and will not make any objection to the player (despite last summer’s behaviour). Given this no one should go to welcome him with scarves or banners of the Curva or of the groups that compose it.
    “Everything that will eventually be done towards him in the future will have to earn it on the pitch with humility and sweat …
    “He was supported (and treated) like a King, now he is one like many others.”
    Four-club Fab fight
    Arsenal and Newcastle lead the transfer race ahead of Manchester United and Manchester City for Napoli star Fabian Ruiz.
    That’s according to Corriere dello Sport, who claim the Partenopei want £26million for Ruiz.
    The Serie A giants still hope to keep the 26-year-old but might cash in this summer as he only has one year left on his contract.
    The Spain international amassed a total of seven goals and five assists in 38 appearances across all competitions last season.
    Utd and Brentford duel for Eriksen as ‘Spurs pull out’
    Tottenham look set to reject the chance to re-sign former star Christian Eriksen, who has been linked with Manchester United.
    Eriksen, who spent seven seasons at Spurs between 2013-2020, will soon be a free agent when his short-term contract at Brentford expires on June 30.
    A romantic return to North London had been touted but SunSport understands Antonio Conte’s side is likely to focus on other targets instead.
    This leaves the path clear for the likes of United and Brentford to fight it out for the services of the 30-year-old, who is understood to be seeking a relatively long-term deal.
    Chelsea target Militao
    Chelsea are keeping tabs on Real Madrid star Eder Militao as they look for defensive reinforcement.
    That is according to Mundo Deportivo, who claim that the Blues are preparing an offer for Militao.
    However, Real are in no way keen on letting the centre-back go in the summer.
    Los Blancos have also slapped a whopping €250million (£215m) asking price on the Brazil international, who has a contract until 2025
    Kounde still linked
    Sevilla star Jules Kounde is on holiday after reaching an agreement with Chelsea.
    That is according to AS, who continue to report that Kounde is very close to joining the Blues.
    The Spanish outlet claims “all roads” lead the centre-back to Stamford Bridge this summer.
    However, Barcelona continue to monitor the France international as manager Xavi is very keen
    Sam Johnstone deal
    Ex-Manchester United goalkeeper Sam Johnstone has agreed to join Crystal Palace on a free transfer.
    Johnstone will leave West Brom when his contract expires at the end of the month.
    According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the keeper has a deal in place to join Palace.

    Lukaku deal details
    Chelsea ace Romelu Lukaku is set to go back to Inter Milan on loan in the summer transfer window.
    Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has shared the details of the deal between the Blues and Inter.
    According to Romano, there is an €8million (£6.9m) loan fee guaranteed and €4m (£3.4m) in add-ons related to performances in place.
    The centre-forward’s salary is reduced from €12m (£10.3m) net to €8m (£6.9m) net this season.
    There is no buy option or obligation clause, while his medical will take place in Milan next week
    Arsenal linked with Rabiot
    Arsenal have been linked with Juventus ace Adrien Rabiot.
    That is according to CalcioMercatoWeb, who report the Gunners are willing to offer a player in return as part of a straight swap deal.
    Manager Mikel Arteta is keen on Rabiot, who is out of contract at the end of next season.
    This comes after the North Londoners signed midfielder Fabio Vieira from Porto in the summer
    Arsenal’s Raphinha offer
    Arsenal made a first formal bid for Leeds star Rphinha that was rejected but their interest remains strong, according to The Athletic’s David Ornstein.
    Ornstein tweeted: “Arsenal made 1st formal offer to Leeds for Raphinha last night.
    “While it fell well below #LUFC valuation & has now been rejected, interest remains strong.
    “May be a long/difficult process due to competition but #AFC determined to sign 25yo”
    Mane joins Bayern
    Liverpool star Sadio Mane has completed his move to Bayern Munich.
    That is according to Sky Sports, who report that the Reds and Bayern have reached a £35million deal.
    Mane is likely to replace star man Robert Lewandowski, who wants to leave the German champions and join Barcelona.
    The winger joined Liverpool from Southampton in 2016 and amassed a total of 120 and 48 assists in 269 matches

    According to Mundo Deportivo reporter Ferran Martinez, Barca may even make Kounde their first signing of the summer.

    The Catalan giants are also keeping tabs on Manchester City ace Bernardo Silva but will only move if they lose Frenkie de Jong, who has been linked with Manchester United
    Fabian Ruiz transfer war
    Arsenal and Newcastle lead the race ahead of Manchester United and Manchester City for Napoli star Fabian Ruiz.

    Goldbridge tweeted: “United still haven’t given up on Timber.”
    New United boss Erik ten Hag has targeted a number of his former Ajax stars, such as Frenkie de Jong, Antony and Edson Alvarez

    Cristiano Ronaldo “worried”
    Cristiano Ronaldo is “worried” about Manchester United’s transfer business.
    That is according to AS, who report that Ronaldo is apprehensive about the upcoming season, which could mark one of his last at elite level.
    The 37-year-old forward reportedly believes there should be greater reinforcement after United experienced their worst ever Premier League campaign.
    That becomes even more critical amid their rivals’ ongoing business with Erling Haaland and Darwin Nunez joining Manchester City and Liverpool respectively

    Man Utd willing to sell Brandon Williams in £10m transfer with defender surplus to requirements at Old Trafford

    BRANDON WILLIAMS can leave Manchester United for the right price.The versatile full-back, 21, spent last season on loan at Norwich, where he largely impressed despite their relegation back to the Championship.
    Brandon Williams looks set to quit Man Utd for around £10m this summerCredit: PA
    It is thought a fee of around £10million may be enough to land the England Under-21 international.
    In-demand Williams wants regular first-team football but looks unlikely to get that Old Trafford.
    The defender is right-footed but favours playing at left-back, though he can play on either side at full-back, wing-back and even in a back three.
    Yet that still puts him in competition with Luke Shaw, Alex Telles, Diogo Dalot and Aaron Wan-Bissaka at United.

stars on their holidays from Ronaldo in Majorca to Sancho loving LA
    That means he has a battle on his hands to get consistent game-time under Erik ten Hag.
    Williams burst onto the scene during the 2019-2020 campaign where he racked up 36 appearances in all competitions for United.

    Man Utd ‘£65m plus add-ons Frenkie de Jong offer’, Cristiano Ronaldo ‘worried’ by United window, Timber transfer back on

    CRISTIANO RONALDO is reportedly concerned by Man Utd’s transfer window so far.The five-time Ballon d’Or winner is said to be worried that the Red Devils will fall further behind the likes of Liverpool and Man City, who have signed Darwin Nunez and Erling Haaland respectively.
    The report from Spain adds that Ronaldo, 37, would like what could be his last season at the highest level to be a trophy-winning campaign.
    However, the Red Devils could probably cheer Ronaldo up somewhat by bringing in Frenkie de Jong.
    It is reported that they will make a bid of £65m plus add-ons for the Barcelona star this week.
    SunSport also revealed earlier this week that United are close to landing a £40million deal for Ajax winger Antony.
    And there are rumours that a move for Jurrien Timber could be back on, despite Louis van Gaal warning the defender against joining United if he wants to make his Holland World Cup squad.
    Former Red Devils boss Van Gaal cautioned Timber that he would only consider players who are playing regularly for their clubs.

    Henrikh snubs Roma for Inter
    Former Arsenal and Manchester United star Henrikh Mkhitaryan has completed his move to Inter Milan.
    The Armenian snubbed a new deal at Roma in favour of a move to Simone Inzaghi’s side.
    Mkhitaryan has spent the last three seasons at Roma playing a key role as they won the inaugural Conference League.

    He played 44 times in all competitions scoring five goals and assisting a further nine for Jose Mourinho’s side.
    The 33-year-old rose to fame while playing for Borussia Dortmund becoming the league’s top assister in the 2015/16 season.
    Consequently he earned a move to Man Utd for around £30million playing 63 games for the club.
    As part of the deal that saw Alexis Sanchez move to Old Trafford from Arsenal, Mkhitaryan moved the other way and featured 59 times for the Gunners.
    Inter have already confirmed the signing of goalkeeper Andre Onana from Ajax and appear to have a deal sorted to bring Romelu Lukaku back to the San Siro on loan.
    The Belgian striker is believed to have taken a pay cut to force the return to Italy. They remain interested in free agent Paulo Dybala with his time at Juventus over.
    Antony ‘desperate’ for Old Trafford move
    Antony is desperate to quit Ajax and be reunited with Erik ten Hag at Manchester United, according to reports.
    The Red Devils’ new manager is itching to kick off his squad overhaul with a move for the Brazilian winger.
    Antony, 22, shone under Ten Hag at Ajax winning two Eredivisie crowns and the KNVB Cup together.

    Last season, the forward scored 12 goals and laid on ten assists in 33 games in all competitions as the Dutch giants won the league title.
    And now, Antony is desperate to follow Ten Hag to Man Utd in order to continue his progression, according to Goal.
    Earlier this week, SunSport revealed United officials had flown in to Amsterdam to get a deal for the Brazilian over the line.
    The club are set to splash out £40million on Antony as their first summer signing. United have already lost Edinson Cavani and Jesse Lingard from their attacking ranks this summer.
    And they’re wasting no time in looking to replace them with a statement signing in Antony. The player had already revealed his admiration for Ten Hag.
    Utd fifth favourites for title
    Manchester City and Liverpool are favourites to be crowned 2022-23 Premier League champions.
    That’s according to bookmakers Betfair, who are predicting another two-horse race with Pep Guardiola’s Citizens available at 4/7 and Liverpool at 12/5.
    The dust has settled on the 2021-22 campaign with Manchester City landing their fourth title in the last five years.
    But it’s a quick turnaround with less than 50 days until the new 2022-23 season starts on August 6th, with the fixtures now released.
    It will include a six-week mid-season break to accommodate the World Cup in Qatar with the final round of fixtures to be played on the final weekend in May.
    Manchester City are odds-on favourites at 4/7 to defend their crown.
    And it’s easy to see why given they’ve already added Norwegian superstar Erling Haaland to their ranks.
    Betfair odds

    Manchester City – 4/7
    Liverpool – 12/5
    Tottenham – 14/1
    Chelsea – 16/1
    Manchester United – 25/1
    Arsenal – 40/1
    Newcastle – 100/1

    Chelsea vs Utd for Rabiot
    Chelsea could battle Manchester United for Adrien Rabiot.
    That’s after Thomas Tuchel made direct contact with the Juventus midfielder this week.
    The Mail claims Rabiot is set for a fresh start after three years in Turin.
    The France international joined on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain in 2019.

    And Rabiot has gone on to score six times in 129 appearances.
    Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag is said to be a big fan of the resilient playmaker.

    Harry might lose skipper role
    Manchester United are set to keep Harry Maguire at Old Trafford this summer.
    But Maguire could be in danger of losing the captain’s armband under new manager Erik ten Hag.
    According to the Mail, the centre-back’s captaincy situation is “up in the air”.
    While the Red Devils will keep the England international, they could look to flog any of Eric Bailly, Phil Jones and Axel Tuanzebe.
    Should they successfully clear room, the Manchester giants will go after another centre-back this summer
    Four-club Fab fight
    Arsenal and Newcastle lead the transfer race ahead of Manchester United and Manchester City for Napoli star Fabian Ruiz.
    That’s according to Corriere dello Sport, who claim the Partenopei want £26million for Ruiz.
    The Serie A giants still hope to keep the 26-year-old but might cash in this summer as he only has one year left on his contract.
    The Spain international amassed a total of seven goals and five assists in 38 appearances across all competitions last season.
    Utd and Brentford duel for Eriksen as ‘Spurs pull out’
    Tottenham look set to reject the chance to re-sign former star Christian Eriksen, who has been linked with Manchester United.
    Eriksen, who spent seven seasons at Spurs between 2013-2020, will soon be a free agent when his short-term contract at Brentford expires on June 30.
    A romantic return to North London had been touted but SunSport understands Antonio Conte’s side is likely to focus on other targets instead.
    This leaves the path clear for the likes of United and Brentford to fight it out for the services of the 30-year-old, who is understood to be seeking a relatively long-term deal.
    Louis Saha’s shock claim
    Former Manchester United ace Louis Saha has backed Everton and manager Frank Lampard to break into the Premier League ‘Big Six’ next season.
    The ex-striker even believes the Toffees can break into the top four after a turbulent season that almost saw them getting relegated.
    Saha told BoyleSports EPL Betting: “A lot of teams in the Premier League can be in the top six and become the challenger to the top four and Everton can be one of those teams.
    “It just depends how you start the season and how well you manage the confidence within the team”
    United linked with Porto ace
    Manchester United could bid more than £60million for Porto star Evanilson.
    The Brazilian’s agent Marcio Barros claims only Brighton have so far made a formal offer for the 22-year-old.
    Barros spoke out after reports in Portugal that United had bid around £53m, compared to the £70m Porto are said to want.
    The striker, capped only at Under-23 level, notched 21 goals and five assists in 45 games last season
    Antony asking price
    Ajax will demand £40million for Manchester United transfer target Antony.
    That’s the claim from the Netherlands as the forward tops new United chief Erik ten Hag’s list of wing targets.
    Ten Hag also fancies Edson Alvarez, Jurrien Timber and Lisandro Martinez from his former club.
    The Dutchman is looking to turn the Red Devils into Premier League contenders again
    Pogba’s hero’s welcome
    Former Manchester United star Paul Pogba has swapped his Old Trafford woes for a hero’s reception in Guinea.
    Pogba has ended his underwhelming six-year stay at United and appears set to rejoin Juventus on a four-year deal.
    The midfielder received a rapturous welcome as he visited his parents’ Guinean home country on Tuesday.
    Thousands of fans turned out to greet the France international as he paraded through capital city Conakry in an open-topped vehicle.
    The 29-year-old is due to play in a charity game to benefit the West African country

    Neville slams Glazers
    Manchester United legend Gary Neville slammed the Glazers’ plan to take £11million in dividends from the club and urged them to invest in the stadium and training ground instead.
    Neville tweeted: “The Glazer Family should NOT be taking £11m in dividends this Friday.
    “It isn’t right with the investment needed in the team, stadium and training ground.
    “The club’s cash position is low compared to previous years. An announcement is needed to halt it for the next three years minimum”
    Real target Garnacho
    Real Madrid are keeping tabs on Manchester United wonderkid Alejandro Garnacho after earning praise from Lionel Messi.
    Garnacho enjoyed a breakout season with United’s Under-18s as he registered a total of 14 goals and six assists in 34 appearances across all competitions.
    The winger is now being tipped for a first-team role under new boss Erik ten Hag and the Red Devils are set to offer him a new lucrative deal.
    According to DefensaCentral, however, Real are keeping tabs on the Argentina international’s contract negotiations as they could swoop in.
    The 17-year-old earned an unexpected call-up by Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni.
    The Argentine never managed to start for United’s first team but he still got to train alongside his country’s finest and earned admiration from Messi himself.
    Maguire to stay
    Manchester United are set to keep Harry Maguire at Old Trafford this summer.
    But Maguire could be in danger of losing the captain’s armband under new manager Erik ten Hag.
    According to the Mail, the centre-back’s captaincy situation is “up in the air”.
    While the Red Devils will keep the England international, they could look to flog any of Eric Bailly, Phil Jones and Axel Tuanzebe.
    Should they successfully clear room, the Manchester giants will go after another centre-back this summer
    Man Utd’s Kie signing
    Manchester United are set to launch a mega-money bid for Barcelona star Frenkie de Jong.
    Mundo Deportivo report that United manager Erik ten Hag is desperate to finally land his first signing.
    And an offer worth £65million plus add-ons is set to be made this week for the midfielder
    The offer could be enough to tempt broke Barca into selling the Netherlands international.
    They told United earlier this month to cough up £74m for the 25-year-old.
    But the add-ons from the Red Devils’ offer may total up to hit that figure
    Fabian Ruiz transfer war
    Arsenal and Newcastle lead the transfer race ahead of Manchester United and Manchester City for Napoli ace Fabian Ruiz.
    That’s the claim from Corriere dello Sport, who state the Partenopei want £26million for Ruiz.
    The Serie A giants still hope to keep the 26-year-old but may cash in this summer as he only has one year left on his contract.
    The Spain international, who is also targeted by United, amassed a total of seven goals and five assists in 38 appearances across all competitions last season
    Eriksen transfer boost
    Tottenham look set to reject the chance to re-sign former star Christian Eriksen, who has been linked with Manchester United.
    Eriksen, who spent seven seasons at Spurs between 2013-2020, will soon be a free agent when his short-term contract at Brentford expires on June 30.
    A romantic return to North London had been touted but SunSport understands Antonio Conte’s side is likely to focus on other targets instead.
    This leaves the path clear for the likes of United and Brentford to fight it out for the services of the 30-year-old, who is understood to be seeking a relatively long-term deal
    Martial-Bailly situation
    Manchester United are looking to offload Anthony Martial and Eric Bailly in the summer transfer window.
    United are having a nightmare trying to find a buyer for Martial due to his sky-high wages.
    Thus, the Red Devils are ready to accept a big hit on the £38.5million they paid for him with cut-price offers of around £20m ready to be heard.
    The Manchester giants are also actively trying to find a buyer for Bailly having offered him to Newcastle but that was met with a lukewarm response.
    As with Martial, United are ready to take a hit on the 28-year-old with an asking price of just £8.5million

    Man Utd clearout
    Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has suggested his former club could sell at least two defenders in a huge transfer clear-out this summer.
    Ferdinand told his Vibe with Five YouTube show: “I’ll be interested to see what Ten Hag does in that area.
    “We’re talking about the young lad, [Jurrien] Timber, at Ajax, a small centre-half.
    “I’ll be interested to see what happens with [Raphael] Varane, [Victor] Lindelof and [Harry] Maguire, [Eric] Bailly as well, I think one or two of those will go”
    Man Utd still target Timber
    Manchester United are still chasing after Ajax star Jurrien Timber during the summer transfer window.
    That is according to United Stand presenter Mark Goldbridge, who reports the Red Devils will continue to push for Timber.
    Goldbridge tweeted: “United still haven’t given up on Timber.”
    New United manager Erik ten Hag has targeted a number of his former Ajax stars, such as Frenkie de Jong, Antony and Edson Alvarez

    Cristiano Ronaldo “worried”
    Cristiano Ronaldo is “worried” about Manchester United’s transfer business this summer.
    That is according to AS, who report that Ronaldo is apprehensive about the upcoming campaign, which could mark one of his last at elite level.
    The 37-year-old forward reportedly believes there should be more reinforcement after United experienced their worst ever Premier League season.
    That becomes even more critical amid their rivals’ ongoing business with Erling Haaland and Darwin Nunez joining Manchester City and Liverpool respectively this month

    Sam Johnstone deal
    Former Manchester United goalkeeper Sam Johnstone has agreed to join Crystal Palace on a free transfer.
    Johnstone will leave West Brom when his contract expires at the end of this month.
    According to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, the keeper has a deal in place to join Palace.
    Johnstone, who will become manager Patrick Vieira’s first signing of the summer and will join Vicente Guaita as well as Jack Butland as an option between the sticks
    Frenkie de Jong latest
    Manchester United and Barcelona have been in “direct contact” today over Frenkie de Jong.
    However, Barca are refusing to budge on their £74million valuation of De Jong.
    According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the two clubs will continue their negotiations to see if a deal can be done.
    New United manager Erik ten Hag wants to be reunited with his former Ajax star.
    The midfielder left Amsterdam for the Nou Camp in a deal worth up to £75m three years ago and is under contract until 2026
    Man Utd’s Bach-up plan
    Manchester United are eyeing a shock swoop for Watford goalkeeper Daniel Bachmann.
    A backup to David De Gea is on United manager Erik Ten Hag’s shopping list, with Dean Henderson closing in on a switch to Nottingham Forest.
    And United are considering a move for Bachmann, according to GOAL.
    The 27-year-old played 13 times for the Hornets last season, and largely played second fiddle to Ben Foster between the sticks at Vicarage Road.
    It’s claimed a deal worth £4million would be enough to seal a swoop for the Austria international

    Spurs have qualified for the Champions League after a three-year absence and will need to improve their squad depth to compete on all fronts.
    Meanwhile, Chelsea have already lost Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen and are expected to lose both Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso before the start of the new season.
    Both clubs have identified Skriniar, 27, as a target amid his stellar, five-year stint at Inter Milan.
    However, PSG currently lead the race after launching another bid for the in-demand Slovakia international.

and Militao LATEST, Kounde transfer boost as Barcelona PULL OUT
    Inter are currently demanding around £68m for their star defender and are playing hardball as they face the prospect of losing fellow centre-back Alessandro Bastoni, potentially even to Chelsea or Spurs.
    Two weeks ago, PSG are said to have launched a cheeky £43m offer – well shy of the target.
    However, with Skriniar out of contract at the end of the coming season, Inter could accept a fee of closer to £50m.
    And multiple reports in Italy claim PSG have come back with an improved offer of £43m up front, with a further £4.3m in add ons.

    CASINO SPECIAL – BEST NEW CUSTOMER SIGN UP DEALS
    Skriniar is said to have already agreed to fresh terms with Inter, but is not against the idea of moving on for a new challenge.
    Inter CEO Beppe Marotta has already admitted he would be open to selling a defender as they are “easier and cheaper” to replace than a new striker.
    The Serie A giants, keen to reclaim their title from neighbours AC Milan, have reportedly lined up Torino ace Gleison Bremer as cover should one of Skriniar or Bastoni leave.
    Chelsea and Tottenham are also said to be keen on Bremer, should they fail in their pursuit of the Inter duo.

    Mkhitaryan has spent the last three seasons at Roma playing a key role as they won the inaugural Conference League.
    He played 44 times in all competitions scoring five goals and assisting a further nine for Jose Mourinho’s side.
    The 33-year-old rose to fame while playing for Borussia Dortmund becoming the league’s top assister in the 2015/16 season.

    Antony, 22, shone under Ten Hag at Ajax winning two Eredivisie crowns and the KNVB Cup together.
    Last season, the forward scored 12 goals and laid on ten assists in 33 games in all competitions as the Dutch giants won the league title.
    And now, Antony is desperate to follow Ten Hag to Man Utd in order to continue his progression, according to Goal.
    Earlier this week, SunSport revealed United officials had flown in to Amsterdam to get a deal for the Brazilian over the line.

stars on their holidays from Ronaldo in Majorca to Sancho loving LA
    The club are set to splash out £40million on Antony as their first summer signing.
    United have already lost Edinson Cavani and Jesse Lingard from their attacking ranks this summer.
    And they’re wasting no time in looking to replace them with a statement signing in Antony.
    The player had already revealed his admiration for Ten Hag.

    In a farewell message to the Dutchman following his Ajax departure, Antony posted on social media: “I want to thank you for everything you taught me.
    “Know that I will always stand with you if you need me.”
    And it seems United are already in desperate need of Antony, with fans already getting twitchy about their lack of transfer activity this window.
    New CEO Richard Arnold went to a pub in Cheshire on Saturday to placate a group of fans who were ready to march on his house to voice their concerns.

    He needs a new midfielder after losing Paul Pogba – who is ironically set to replace Rabiot at Juventus – on a free transfer.
    And with a move for Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong stalling, Rabiot could be an ideal candidate for United’s midfield.
    However, Ten Hag now faces competition from Chelsea boss Tuchel, who is also yet to make a signing this window.
    The Blues are ready to finally enter the market after the exits of Bruce Buck and Marina Granovskaia were confirmed.

    The mega-rich outfit were interested in signing Rabiot in January while they were still embroiled in a relegation fight.
