    Former Red Devils ace Wilfried Zaha sealed Palace’s first ever Prem win at home against the one-time Manchester giants after 37 minutes.
    It is obvious the Dutch tactician has his work cut out ahead of next season at Old Trafford with a transfer haul looking imminent.
    And the former Ajax boss may have to think twice about the following five players, who flopped on their first audition in front of him.
    Here are the FIVE stars that struggled in front of Ten Hag’s watchful eye in South London:

Pogba set to sign for Juventus, United to play Palace in final game
    Bruno Fernandes
    Potuguese has been a huge influence since joining United from Sporting Lisbon in 2020 and he definitely deserves opportunities under Ten Hag.
    But Fernandes will have to do much better than he did at Palace as it was his stray pass that led to the goal and he failed to create dangers in the Eagles’ area.
    Diogo Dalot
    Struggled against Tyrick Mitchell and Zaha down the right flank and carries responsibility for the winner.
    Palace’s goalscorer danced around Dalot before hitting David de Gea’s bottom right corner.
    The full-back produced numerous heavy touches as well as loose passes and picked up a reckless yellow card with a heavy tackle on Conor Gallagher.

the reaction as Man City WIN title, Burnley go down and Spurs land CL spot

    Victor Lindelof
    Centre half also carries responsibility for Zaha’s winner as he left space open and didn’t offer enough back-up for Dalot.
    Lindelof failed to read the game properly and his chances of first-team football under Ten Hag are surely low.
    Scott McTominay
    United’s midfield was dreadful against Crystal Palace and McTominay couldn’t exert any authority against Jeffrey Schlupp as well as Will Hughes in the middle of the park.
    McTominay also wasted a major opportunity at the death with a free header that was so weak it caused no alarm for Palace goalkeeper Vicente Guaita.

    A late collapse saw the Gunners miss out on Champions League qualification from the Premier League, with local rivals Tottenham pipping them on the final day.
    Despite that, chief Josh Kroenke has vowed to support the club’s manager ahead of the new season to get them back on top.
    Writing in Arsenal’s matchday programme, Kroenke said: “Yes, we’re in a tough position right now after the last few matches in terms of qualifying for the Champions League, but I think the lessons learned will serve us well.
    “Sometimes feeling a level of frustration is the best motivation you can have.

    “In terms of bringing players in, we would have liked to have moved faster in certain areas but there are some factors out of our control. Internally we recognise there’s still much work to be done.
    “On a recruitment standpoint, I will always refer to Edu and Mikel, but I know they have a blueprint of the type of player we need.

    Arsenal have reportedly had a club-record £76million bid for striker Victor Osimhen rejected by Napoli.

    Zaha haunts United
    It’s the former United man who gives Palace the lead at Selhurst Park.
    Wilfried Zaha, who couldn’t get a look in at Old Trafford but is so often Palace’s talisman, with the goal.
    Patrick Vieira always loved coming up against Man Utd.

    Spot ten Hag
    Erik ten Hag is in attendance at Selhurst Park!The incoming Man Utd boss is watching his new players in action against Crystal Palace alongside assistant Mitchell van der Gaag.
    He doesn’t seem to be too happy either with what he’s seen so far.
    Lots of work to do, he surely ponders.

    Cavani and Mejbri start for Manchester United
    Ralf Rangnick has named Cavani in his last game as Manchester United manager against Crystal Palace. The Red Devils are without Cristiano Ronaldo this afternoon, who is unavailable with a hip injury.
    In addition, the Austrian has called up teenager, Hannibal Mejbri. Harry Maguire also returns to the back four.

    Man Utd starting XI for today
    Here is the team showing what they have in front of new gaffer Erik ten Hag.

    Will the kids play? – Line up revealed in two minutes
    Man Utd are set to give the kids a chance against Crystal Palace as Charlie Savage among youngsters spotted travelling to London.
    Savage, 19, could make his Premier League debut after being named in the travelling squad for their final game of the season, writes Jake Lambourne.
    The Red Devils face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Sunday in a game that will decide what European competition they will be playing next term.
    Failure to beat the Eagles could see United drop down into seventh and into the Uefa Conference League.
    United must claim the three points in South London or hope West Ham fail to beat Brighton at the Amex Stadium to secure a place in the Europa League.
    And United could decide to give their youngsters a chance, with Charlie Savage, Shola Shoretire and Alvaro Fernandez all named in their squad.
    The trio were snapped before making their way down to the capital, where they will be looking to impress incoming manager Erik ten Hag should they be given any game time.
    United ‘need a reset’, says Mata
    Mata went on to say United need a “reset” after a tough few seasons, demanding players “meet the standards” required to turn out for the club.
    He said: “Being at Man Utd, this club needs first-class individuals for each department.
    “This club should be top of the class in every department, on pitch or off. That is the only way I see this club competing for the biggest trophies.
    “That’s what I hope for in the near future, otherwise you cannot compete with clubs who are doing very good things with a certain identity and professionalism in the way they make decisions.

    “When you think about Man Utd you think about the best level possible, as far as I understood football growing up.
    “I don’t understand this club without having first-class individuals for each department.”
    Mata continued: “We have made many mistakes… we could have also dealt better with certain situations that were happening in the club, managers changing, negative things.
    “Certain standards were not met. Whether that’s attitude, level of training, off the pitch, which doesn’t include players, we haven’t been good enough.
    “We need a reset in the culture of the club. That’s how I feel.
    Mata could stay in Manchester
    Juan Mata has hinted he could sensationally STAY at Manchester United, writes Dave Fraser.
    The long-serving Spanish playmaker, 34, was widely expected to quit Old Trafford on a free transfer this summer with his contract expiring, despite rumours of retiring or going into coaching.
    But Mata has confirmed he will hold off making any decisions until he has spoken to Ten Hag – who will officially start work on Monday, following United’s final game of the season against Crystal Palace.
    Mata told The Athletic: “I will see when we speak how we feel, what his ideas are…
    “After that a decision will be made.”
    Rangnick admits Ronaldo compromise
    Ralf Rangnick also laments his asking of a 37-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo to be part of a high-pressing side.
    He continued: “I am not blaming Cristiano at all, he did great in games, but he is not a pressing monster.
    “Even when he was young, he wasn’t shouting, “The other team has the ball, where can we win balls?

    ‘It was the same with quite a few other players so we had to make compromises at one stage.
    “We never found the right balance between what do we need with the ball and without the ball.”
    Rangnick shoulders the blame
    Interim Manchester United manager Ralf Rangnick blames himself for the club’s collapse this season, writes Chisanga Malata.
    The German was brought in to steady the ship following Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s departure last November but failed to get the squad to completely buy into his philosophy.
    Rangnick’s failure to adapt his strategy to his squad’s strengths has left United in a final-day battle for the Europa League spot that comes with sixth place.
    And he shoulders the blame for the club losing their last five away matches on the bounce, saying: “We never came near to that aggressive, pro-active football I’d normally want to do.
    “It has to do with physicality if you want to play like that. I should have done better and developed this team in a more sustainable way.”
    Savage and co in the United squad today
    Man Utd are set to give the kids a chance against Crystal Palace as Charlie Savage among youngsters spotted travelling to London.
    Savage, 19, could make his Premier League debut after being named in the travelling squad for their final game of the season, writes Jake Lambourne.
    The Red Devils face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Sunday in a game that will decide what European competition they will be playing next term.
    Failure to beat the Eagles could see United drop down into seventh and into the Uefa Conference League.

    The trio were snapped before making their way down to the capital, where they will be looking to impress incoming manager Erik ten Hag should they be given any game time.
    Luke Shaw could be missing on Sunday
    The Red Devils face the Eagles away at Selhurst Park in their final Premier League game of the season TODAY.
    Luke Shaw is a doubt to feature for Manchester United against Crystal Palace on Sunday following the birth of his second child.
    Congratulations Luke and Anouska!
    Ronaldo to miss Prem finale through injury
    Cristiano Ronaldo has withdrawn from Manchester United’s squad for today’s Prem finale at Crystal Palace with a hip injury.
    The Red Devils need victory to seal sixth place.
    But 24-goal top-scorer Ron, 37, is suddenly sidelined.
    Spurs ‘pave way for Utd on Johnstone’
    Manchester United could be in pole position for West Brom keeper Sam Johnstone as Tottenham reportedly eye Fraser Forster instead.
    Manchester United could be in pole position for West Brom keeper Sam Johnstone as Tottenham reportedly eye Fraser Forster instead.
    Red Devils’ second-choice stopper Dean Henderson could be loaned out, with Bournemouth and Fulham keen.
    And United have been linked with Johnstone long before Erik ten Hag was named as incoming manager.
    Red Devils’ second-choice stopper Dean Henderson could be loaned out, with Bournemouth and Fulham keen.
    Even Legends can’t salvage Utd pride
    United’s Legends were humbled just as much as the mediocre current squad have been this season as Mark Gonzalez hit a stunner in a 3-1 Charity match win for Liverpool’s oldies.
    The former Chile midfielder only spent one season at Anfield in 2006-07 – scoring two Premier League goals.

    But he notched a superb 30-yard free-kick past United sub keeper Kevin Pilkington and a stoppage-time clincher.
    A goalless first half was played in high spirits for good causes,including the Man Utd Foundation, with £1.3million raised as Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher captained the two teams and the likes of Patrice Evra, Jaap Stam and Andriy Voronin took part.
    But Liverpool came flying out of the blocks in the second 45.
    Replacement forward Luis Garcia’s cheeky stepover beat Raimond van der Gouw all ends up and Garcia rounded the keeper to roll in the opener.
    Dimitar Berbatov won a penalty three minutes later to coolly slot in for 1-1.
    But Dirk Kuyt hit the post for Liverpool before Gonzalez struck twice to give them victory.
    Cottagers want Matic talks
    EXCLUSIVE: Fulham want to talk veteran Nemanja Matic into staying in the Prem after he leaves Manchester United, writes ALAN NIXON.
    The Championship winners are keen to bring the ex-Chelsea midfielder back to London.
    Matic, 33, has played a key role at United lately and is still very capable at the top level.
    But he is choosing to move on rather than be part of Erik ten Hag’s revolution.
    Foreign interest in Matic is great but he could get a deal that works for him at Fulham and can slot back into life in London, after two great spells with the Blues.
    Matic revealed he would leave United last month in a lengthy statement on social media.
    Aaron eyes new Utd contract
    EXCLUSIVE: Aaron Wan-Bissaka wants a new deal at United — but has been told to wait on Erik ten Hag’s verdict on his future, writes ALAN NIXON.
    The right-back is out of contract in two years.
    United blocked recent inquiries for him, prompting AWB’s team to ask for a long-term deal instead.
    Crystal Palace have been linked with re-signing their academy star, but Wan-Bissaka is on more than the Eagles usually pay.
    Even a loan return to Selhurst Park would be difficult to sort due to his current wages.
    Incoming boss Ten Hag will pass judgement on the current squad, with United expected to make a number of changes this summer.
    Erik’s caged Devils
    EXCLUSIVE: Erik ten Hag plans to cage in his players as part of his grand plan to rebuild Manchester United, writes PHIL THOMAS.
    The new Old Trafford gaffer has already handed training ground staff details of what he wants when he starts work this summer.

    And that includes prepping a five-a-side pitch for what Ten Hag has labelled “cage work,” when players are put through a confined space-session.
    United’s smaller pitch at their Carrington base is already fenced in and there will be no excuses – or escape – for the likes of Marcus Rashford and Cristiano Ronaldo.
    Ten Hag is believed to also want some of the half-sized pitches redrawn to replicate the ones he used on a daily basis at Ajax.
    A United insider said: “The new manager has already provided a number of technical requests and the staff are working hard to have it ready
    “The astro five-a-side pitch is named the Adidas Predator Zone and the lads use it for fun and games – but Ten Hag has daily plans for it.
    “He wants the players locked in and uncomfortable until they are totally at ease with it. The pitch is caged in and he wants it ready to go.
    “The club is determined to give him everything he needs and it is currently all hands to the pump at Carrington.”
    Morning, United fans
    Crocked Cristiano Ronaldo is out of United’s Prem finale at Crystal Palace.
    Victory would assure the Red Devils of retaining sixth place.
    But 24-goal top-scorer Ron, 37, is sidelined with a hip injury.
    The Old Trafford legend’s fellow Portugal star Diogo Dalot hopes to show incoming boss Erik ten Hag this afternoon there’s no need to buy a new right-back.
    And Aaron Wan-Bissaka wants a new deal beyond 2025 – despite losing his regular place to Dalot’s greater attacking ability.
    Predictably, Wan-Bissaka has been told to wait for Ten Hag’s verdict.
    Midfield anchorman Nemanja Matic has confirmed his upcoming departure from Old Trafford – with Fulham now showing interest.
    The Prem new boys hope to talk to the Serbia ace even though Juventus are frontrunners to sign the 33-year-old ahead of Roma.
    Finally, the Red Devils could be in pole position for West Brom keeper Sam Johnstone as Tottenham reportedly eye Southampton’s Fraser Forster instead.

    LaLiga will complain to Uefa
    LaLiga have blasted Kylia Mbappe’s stunning U-turn as “scandalous” and will file a complaint to Uefa about Paris Saint-Germain “attacking the stability of football”, writes Joshua Jones.
    The bitter Spanish top flight also launched a stinging attack on PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi.
    Superstar forward Mbappe, 23, looked on course to sign for Real Madrid as a free agent this summer.
    But Mbappe has decided to stay put at PSG and has signed a three-year contract at the Parc des Princes worth a whopping £500m contract including a £250m signing-on bonus fee.
    LaLiga said: “This type of agreement attacks the economic stability of European football, putting at risk hundreds of thousands of jobs and the integrity of the sport.
    “It is scandalous that a club like PSG, which last season reported losses of more than 220 million euros can close such an agreement, while those clubs that could afford the hiring of the player without seeing their wage bill compromised, are left without being able to sign him.
    “LaLiga will file a complaint against PSG before Uefa, the French administrative and fiscal authorities and European Union authorities to continue to defend the economic ecosystem of European football and its sustainability.”

    Clarets want £40M for Pope
    EXCLUSIVE: Burnley are asking a staggering £40million for keeper Nick Pope — whether they stay in the Premier League or not, writes ALAN NIXON.
    Pope, 30, will be a wanted man this summer and Fulham are keen, with a potential three-year contract on offer.
    But the Clarets want a huge fee for the England ace.
    As SunSport revealed earlier this year, Fulham have been eyeing Pope for a while, while West Ham have also been linked.
    But the clubs had hoped to pay closer to £20m – especially with Burnley staring at relegation.
    Mata could stay in Manchester
    Juan Mata has hinted he could sensationally STAY at Manchester United, writes Dave Fraser.
    The long-serving Spanish playmaker, 34, was widely expected to quit Old Trafford on a free transfer this summer with his contract expiring, despite rumours of retiring or going into coaching.
    But Mata has confirmed he will hold off making any decisions until he has spoken to Ten Hag – who will officially start work on Monday, following United‘s final game of the season against Crystal Palace.
    Mata told The Athletic: “I will see when we speak how we feel, what his ideas are…
    “After that a decision will be made.”
    Leeds hanging on for dear life
    Leeds fans could have never imagined that their second consecutive season in the Premier League since their return would have turned out like this.
    The Whites are hanging on for dear life but even a win over an in-form Brentford side may not be enough to see them stay up.
    With Norwich and Watford already relegated, it only leaves one survival spot left and Burnley are currently holding onto that.
    And a win for the Clarets over Newcastle would be enough for them to secure a place in England’s top division next season
    However, the Magpies will want to conclude their campaign with a win and they’ll be still thriving off that convincing win over Arsenal.
    Polishing the PL golden boot
    Putting aside the thrilling conclusion of the Premier League season, it is also time to crown the league’s top goal scorer with the golden boot award which is also going right down to the wire.
    Harry Kane collected the trophy last season with 23 goals, but it is his attacking teammate Hueng-min Son who is chasing it this year with 21 goals.
    However, the man leading the charts for the golden boot currently on 22 goals is Liverpool talisman Mo Salah.
    Mo Salah (Liverpool) – 22 goalsHeung-min Son (Tottenham) – 21 goalsCristiano Ronaldo (Man Utd) – 18 goalsHarry Kane (Tottenham) – 16 goalsKevin De Bruyne (Man City) – 15 goalsDiogo Jota (Liverpool) – 15 goalsSadio Mane (Liverpool) – 15 goalsJamie Vardy (Leicester) – 14 goalsRaheem Sterling (Man City) – 13 goalsWilfried Zaha (Crystal Palace) – 13 goals
    The Premier League finale is here – three hours to go
    This is it – the Premier League finale has arrived, with a shiny trophy up for grabs for Manchester City or Liverpool.
    Liverpool are hoping to crush Manchester City’s dreams of securing the title which would keep their unprecedented quadruple hopes alive.
    The Reds overcame Chelsea twice on penalties to lift both the Carabao and the FA Cup at Wembley.
    And Jurgen Klopp’s men still have the Champions League final to look forward to next weekend when they take on Real Madrid in a mouth-watering clash.
    But Liverpool’s main focus today will be to beat Wolves and hope that Man City slip up against Aston Villa.
    Many expect Pep Guardiola’s side to get the job done, but with the Liverpool legend being the boss of Villa, he’ll be desperate to do his boyhood club a favour.

    Arsenal have ‘failed’ if they finish fifth, says Richards
    Micah Richards was asked if it would be a failure for Arsenal to finish fifth.
    He told the Daily Mail: “It is and it isn’t. At the start of the season, no one expected them to be here, fighting for fourth.
    “But the way they’ve ended the season, you’d say they have failed. Arteta likes them to play a particular way.
    “But when you’re going into a north London derby with a top-four spot at stake, just manage the game! You don’t need to go out all guns blazing.
    “It felt a little naive of Arsenal, what they did against Tottenham and then Newcastle, the last game of the season at a jumping St James’ Park. You’ve got to find another way to play.”
    ‘ There will be a twist’ in title race, says Richards
    Micah Richards says it won’t be plain sailing for his former club tomorrow.
    Man City need all three points to secure the title – providing Liverpool win at home to Wolves.
    Whilst speaking to the Daily Mail, he said: “I think City will win — but I also think there will be a twist. It won’t be 5-0 and all singing and dancing.
    “It’s the 10-year anniversary of the 93:20, the Sergio Aguerooooo moment.
    “I don’t think we’ll get that level of drama, but I don’t think it’ll be straightforward.”
    Di Maria leaves PSG in tears
    Angel Di Maria marked his final Paris Saint-Germain game with a farewell goal as he left the pitch in a flood of tears after being given a standing ovation, writes Jake Lambourne.
    The 34-year-old got on the scoresheet in Saturday’s 5-0 win against Metz as he picked up his fifth Ligue 1 winner’s medal.
    Di Maria will now be departing Parc des Princes as a free agent after Les Parisiens decided against triggering a one-year contract extension.

    It was understood that the Argentine winger will now link up with Juventus on an initial deal until 2023, with the option to extend it.
    But after the game the one-time Manchester United flop laughed off claims the deal was done, saying: “Juventus deal? No, no – I’m quiet, there’s time, I have to think… it’s not just my decision.
    “I’ve always thought of myself and my family. I’ll make the best choice for everyone – my two daughters, my wife and me”.
    What does this mean for PSG?
    Mbappe finally announced he will stay in the French capital.
    This after weeks of build up in which many Madristras were excited at the prospect of seeing him walk out for Real at the Bernabeu.
    This puts the Parisians back in contention for the Champions League title next season.
    Presumably now, the elite trio of Mbappe, Neymar and Leo Messi will be in force next season.
    Messi’s agent has rejected claims the star will join David Beckham’s Inter Miami next year.
    Reports emerged saying the Argentina legend is set to join the Florida-based side once his Paris Saint-Germain deal ends in 2023.
    Mbappe seals contract with hat-trick
    Kylian Mbappe toasted the perfect day by scoring a special hat-trick for Paris Saint-Germain as they thumped Metz 5-0.
    The striker, 23, was presented to his adoring fans before kick-off against Metz at the Parc des Princes.
    Earlier on he put pen to paper on a staggering new three-year contract worth a whopping £500million in total.
    The first, on 24 minutes, saw him race through on goal, cut inside the onrushing goalkeeper and slide the ball in between the covering defenders .

    Four minutes later, Mbappe made it 2-0 and Neymar added a third with half an hour on the clock as PSG ran riot.
    Mbappe completed his hat-trick five minutes into the second half and 77 minutes after his new contract was confirmed as he pounced on Boubakar Kouyate who dawdled on the ball on the edge of the area.
    The striker picked his pocket, rounded Marc-Aurele Caillard, and stroked into the unguarded net to ensure May 21 would be truly unforgettable.
    Mbappe and PSG confirm massive Mbappe deal
    Kylian Mbappe and PSG confirmed he’s STAYING in a shock snub for Real Madrid that will earn him £500MILLION.
    The 23-year-old revealed the news about his future yesterday instead of on Sunday morning on French TV channel TF1 as planned.
    PSG posted a short video of Mbappe standing on the roof of the Parc des Princes with the message: ‘Our history is written… This is Paris’.
    The post racked up tens of thousands of likes within minutes of being posted as PSG fans went wild with the news.
    Mbappe has been linked with a move to Real Madrid for 12 months, ever since he approached the final year of his contract with the Ligue 1 giants.
    He was on the cusp of joining Los Blancos prior to the 2021-22 season before a £137million bid fell through at the final hour.
    Clarets want £40M for Pope
    EXCLUSIVE: Burnley are asking a staggering £40million for keeper Nick Pope — whether they stay in the Premier League or not, writes ALAN NIXON.
    Pope, 30, will be a wanted man this summer and Fulham are keen, with a potential three-year contract on offer.
    But the Clarets want a huge fee for the England ace.
    As SunSport revealed earlier this year, Fulham have been eyeing Pope for a while, while West Ham have also been linked.
    But the clubs had hoped to pay closer to £20m – especially with Burnley staring at relegation.
    Fulham also want to talk veteran Nemanja Matic into staying in the Prem after he leaves Manchester United.
    Overnight transfer gossip
    Kylian Mbappe agreeing a new £0.5BILLION PSG contract dwarfs all other transfer news – but Arsenal did their bit with a ‘mega offer’ for Victor Osimhen.
    France striker Mbappe U-turned on joining Real Madrid with a staggering three-year deal to stay in Paris.
    Napoli, though, have reportedly rejected a £75million Gunners bid for Nigeria striker Osimhen.  
    Fulham will attempt to persuade Manchester United anchorman Nemanja Matic to join them ahead of Juventus and Roma.
    Speaking of United, the Red Devils could be in pole position for West Brom keeper Sam Johnstone as Tottenham reportedly eye Southampton’s Fraser Forster instead.
    And RB Leipzig’s Croatia ace Josko Gvardiol is the latest name linked with replacing Chelsea’s out-of-contract centre-back Antonio Rudiger.
    Gvardiol’s dad Timohir reportedly held talks in London with Blues’ boss Thomas Tuchel. 
    Arsenal right-back Hector Bellerin is said to be keen on turning his Real Betis loan into a permanent move.
    Lastly, Everton boss Frank Lampard wants Chelsea’s 19-year-old young central defender Levi Colwill.
    Lampard hopes his old club agree a loan switch next term after Colwill’s brilliant form helped Huddersfield to the play-off final.
    Ham Scam twitch
    EXCLUSIVE: West Ham will step up interest in £25million-rated Sassuolo striker Gianluca Scamacca, writes DAN KING.
    But if rival bids from the likes of Newcastle push the price up, the Hammers may turn their focus to Torino captain Andrea Belotti.

    Scamacca, 23 and 6ft 4in tall, is a man in demand thanks to a breakout Serie A campaign that has earned him his first senior caps for Italy.
    He has scored 16 goals in 35 league matches but may well have played his final game for Sassuolo.
    Opponents AC Milan and city rivals Inter are among the host of clubs considering a summer move for Scamacca.
    He would cost at least £25m and Premier League interest could drive the asking price far higher.
    Clarets want £40M for Pope
    EXCLUSIVE: Burnley are asking a staggering £40million for keeper Nick Pope — whether they stay in the Premier League or not, writes ALAN NIXON.
    Pope, 30, will be a wanted man this summer and Fulham are keen, with a potential three-year contract on offer.
    But the Clarets want a huge fee for the England ace.
    As SunSport revealed earlier this year, Fulham have been eyeing Pope for a while, while West Ham have also been linked.
    But the clubs had hoped to pay closer to £20m – especially with Burnley staring at relegation.
    Fulham also want to talk veteran Nemanja Matic into staying in the Prem after he leaves Manchester United.
    Cottagers want Matic talks
    EXCLUSIVE: Fulham want to talk veteran Nemanja Matic into staying in the Prem after he leaves Manchester United, writes ALAN NIXON.
    The Championship winners are keen to bring the ex-Chelsea midfielder back to London.
    Matic, 33, has played a key role at United lately and is still very capable at the top level.
    But he is choosing to move on rather than be part of Erik ten Hag’s revolution.
    Foreign interest in Matic is great but he could get a deal that works for him at Fulham and can slot back into life in London, after two great spells with the Blues.
    Matic revealed he would leave United last month in a lengthy statement on social media.

    Armando Broja has nine goals in all competitions and six in the Premier League for Southampton this seasonCredit: Reuters
    The Chelsea loanee was on fire in the first half of the season and registered six goals and many impressive performances.
    While his goals have dried up, that has not stopped interest from other Premier League clubs.
    Goal report that West Ham and Newcastle are both attempting to sign him up during the summer.
    Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel is believed to be open to Broja returning to Stamford Bridge next season, but the Albanian striker could have options if he wants more first-team football.

    BOUBACAR KAMARA has put a number of Premier League clubs on red alert after announcing he will be departing Marseille.The versatile 22-year-old, capable of playing as a defensive midfielder or centre-back, will become a free agent when his contract expires at the end of the season.
    Boubacar Kamara could be on the move to England after announcing he will be leaving MarseilleCredit: Reuters
    Kamara is regarded as one of Europe’s most talented youngsters having burst on the scene during the 2017-18 campaign.
    A key player for Marseille, the France youth international chipped in with a goal and an assist in 48 games in all competitions this season.
    He helped the Stade Velodrome outfit finish second in Ligue 1 to secure Champions League football for Jorge Sampaoli’s side.
    But he has now declared that his appearance in Saturday’s 4-0 win against Strasbourg was his final appearance for the club.

    The 34-year-old got on the scoresheet in Saturday’s 5-0 win against Metz as he picked up his fifth Ligue 1 winner’s medal.
    Di Maria will leave Parc des Princes as a free agent next month after Les Parisiens decided against triggering a one-year extension.
    It was widely-believed that he was heading to Italy to link up with Juventus on an initial deal until 2023.
    However, he has now dismissed that it a done deal and says he will be asking his wife and kids to help him decide his next step.

    Di Maria said: “Juventus deal? No, no – I’m quiet, there’s time, I have to think… it’s not just my decision.
    “I’ve always thought of myself and my family. I’ll make the best choice for everyone – my two daughters, my wife and me.”
    Di Maria scored the fifth in the rout against Metz to sign off his PSG career in the perfect fashion.
    His teammates mobbed him after the strike, which was his 92nd goal in 295 appearances, before he received a standing ovation for the crowd as he was substituted with 15 minutes to go.
