      “I’ve played against them, and I didn’t see this kind of personality when we destroyed United in the Champions League final.”
      “You cannot have personality because you concede two goals in one minutes after you have chances to score?
      “And after the last four league games we scored 19 goals so we have incredible personality and these kind of things?
      “I’m sorry but I completely disagree. Personality is what we have done in the last five years every three days in all competitions.”

      “They’re saying Frenkie de Jong could be the first player to come in under Erik ten Hag and I would be saying ‘yes, great signing’.
      “He’s not huge in terms of frame but he is quick with the ball, really good dribbler, can get out of tight situations, makes good decisions, good passer, his balance and dribbling ability are really good.
      “(United) are a team who are looking for players who can control the ball and control the game and get the team functioning in terms of balance and possession, I think he would be a good addition.

      Former manager Ronald Koeman also said: “When I arrived I told Frenkie: ‘This is your second season, you have to make a step higher now, you need to do more than just play along’. This sounds cruel, but he got the message.
      I told him to take more responsibility. To arrive in the opponent’s box more.
      “During these conversations I also involved Messi.
      “Messi told Frenkie that he is a fantastic player. He becomes happy around a player like Frenkie, because he wants to have pure football players around him.

      Man Utd trail in race for Victor Osimhen
      Arsenal are the team most keen on Napoli striker Victor Osimhen.
      Reports in Italy suggest it would take a bid of over £85million to secure a deal.

      Spurs are also interested in Osimhen.
      McClaren close to joining Ten Hag
      Former England manager Steve McClaren is set to re-join the coaching staff at Man Utd.

      His replace at Man Utd looks set to be Frenkie De Jong as he nears completion of his move.
      Xavi gives green light to De Jong deal
      Frenkie de Jong’s transfer to Manchester United has reportedly been signed off by Barcelona boss Xavi, in a huge boost to the Red Devils.
      Deportes Cuatro report that the transfer will be completed in the following weeks for a fee in excess of the £64m Barcelona paid to sign De Jong from Ajax.
      De Jong was of Barcelona’s standout performers under Ronald Koeman, but Xavi has been less impressed with him.
      Cuatro claim the Barca legend wants midfielders better at retaining possession, in the mould of Pedri.
      De Jong is also said to welcome the move after reportedly growing frustrated at playing second fiddle to Sergio Busquets.
      And Barca are well aware that they will require another summer of sales as the Catalan club’s debt crisis continues.
      Frenkie de Jong could be announced by Man Utd before the end of the season

      Howe says he will take a leaf out of former owner Mike Ashley’s transfer manualCredit: PA
      Boss Howe does admit, however, that one of his key priorities during the summer window is to lower the average age of the Newcastle squad.
      Ashley infamously put a block on most deals for players aged in their late-20s or 30s because it reduced the re-sale value of his assets.
      Howe’s philosophy is more to do with football welfare than economics.

      Key Toon stars Callum Wilson, Jonjo Shelvey, Martin Dubravka and Matt Ritchie are also in their 30s.
      And ahead of Monday’s visit of Arsenal, Howe said: “I think January was a specific window in that we felt we needed experience and Premier League-ready players.

      Man Utd and Liverpool transfer boost as Villarreal’s Arnaut Danjuma has £45m release clause which activates THIS SUMMER

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED and Liverpool have been handed a boost in their pursuit of Villarreal star Arnaut Danjuma. The 25-year-old has attracted attention from a host of Europe’s top clubs after a stellar season under Unai Emery.
      Arnaut Danjuma is claimed to have a £45m release clause in his contractCredit: Getty
      The former Bournemouth man has scored 16 goals in 34 games in all competitions this season, including an impressive six strikes in 11 Champions League outings.
      And Danjuma has a £45million release clause in his contract that is valid THIS SUMMER, according to Marca.
      A number of Premier League clubs are said to be sniffing around after Danjuma’s stunning debut campaign at Villarreal following a £21m switch from the Cherries.
      Reports earlier in the season had suggested Danjuma’s release clause stood at closer to £65m.

      But sources close to the player have now confirmed it is in fact £20m lower than that.
      The news will come as music to the ears of the likes of Manchester United and Liverpool.
      United sent scouts to watch Danjuma last month, seeing him score the winner in the shock 1-0 Champions League quarter-final win over Bayern Munich.
      Liverpool too are thought to be admirers of Danjuma with Mo Salah and Sadio Mane both out of contract at the end of next season.

      by

      Bellingham rejected a switch to Old Trafford two years ago after he swapped Birmingham for BVB in a £25million deal.
      The teenager has become a key player for the club, appearing in almost 100 games in the heart of midfield.
      This season the youngster has featured in 43 matches in all competitions – chipping in with six goals and 13 assists.
      But despite the heavy interest in him, Bellingham has declared that he will be staying at Dortmund for at least the next campaign.

      But with Todd Boehly’s £4.25billion consortium expected to complete a takeover of the Blues in the coming weeks, Federico Pastorello revealed he is keen to discuss all things Lukaku with the American billionaire.
      Asked about the Belgian heading back to Italy, Pastorello told La Repubblica: “He has the club and the fans in his heart, he has never hidden it, like his love for Anderlecht where he would like to end his career.

open to DOUBLE Barca swap deal, Kovacic FIT for FA Cup final
      “Chelsea are in takeover discussions, we do not know the new owners, let alone if we can open talks with Inter or AC Milan. We have to wait.”
      But Lukaku took to his social media soon after the quotes surfaced in Italy, seemingly swiping at his own rep.
      The striker wrote: “Never ever will I let someone speak for me.
      “I kept my mouth shut and focused on helping the team and end the season in the best way possible.

      “So if someone is out there trying to say something about me and the club… not in my name.”
      And manager Thomas Tuchel was unsure what to make of the fiasco in his press conference.
      Asked about the Pastorello comments, the German boss said: “I think if he plans to talk with the owner, maybe it is not his plan to talk with me. It’s fair enough.
      “Let’s see if he gets a meeting! It is his right.
      “We will talk to anybody. We will evaluate any situation of any player, including Romelu.
      “We will see what is going to happen and what the plans are.

      “I was only made aware of it five or ten minutes ago, actually. It’s what sometimes happens in football.
      “The attention is so high that sometimes it attracts situations that you don’t want to have before big matches. It’s the way it is.
      “For me, it is not a distraction and hopefully, for everybody that works on the team and the team itself, it is not.”
      Lukaku dropped a bombshell announcement in an interview in December, revealing he was “not happy” with life at Chelsea.
      He has managed just eight Premier League goals this term, ending a drought of ten matches and four months with his double against Wolves.
      FINAL FOCUS
      Another strike to seal a 3-0 win at Leeds in midweek means the ex-Manchester United man may have done enough to start the FA Cup final against Liverpool tomorrow.
      But Pastorello is well aware this season must be seen as a disappointment.
      The focus, for now, is winning Chelsea’s remaining matches, though.
      The agent added: “For the cost of the transfer, no one could have expected such a situation.
      “I do not discuss the tactical choices, but it is obvious that there was a problem.
      “The numbers, however, must be considered – he is still the team’s best scorer, with less playing time compared to his team-mates.
