That has led to immense interest from Europe’s elite, including United who are looking to rebuild under incoming manager Erik ten Hag with some top players.
However, Leipzig director Oliver Mintzlaff insists the club have told the attacking midfielder and his agent that they won’t agree to sell him to anyone.
Mintzlaff said: “We have clearly discussed it internally: We won’t let Nkunku leave this summer, we told him and his agent”.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano then confirmed “Leipzig will also try to extend his contract but talks are still at early stages”.

This comes after reports suggesting Nkunku wants to quit the club at the end of the season.
But the Bundesliga giants are planning to invest heavily in the summer to challenge Bayern Munich for the title and push for Champions League success.
The German club is looking to build the team around the versatile midfielder, whose contract runs out in 2024, and even an offer of €100million (£84.4m) might not be enough.
United interim manager Ralf Rangnick, who is set to undertake a consultancy role in June and has a close relationship with the Red Bull team, is a big fan of the France international.

So much so that he was left dismayed when he heard from the Red Devils’ scouting department that there were no eyes on the 24-year-old upon his arrival in November.
Manchester City and Newcastle are also reportedly keeping tabs on the Frenchman ahead of the summer transfer window.
But City appear more focused on landing Borussia Dortmund superstar Erling Haaland, while the Frenchman is reportedly unlikely to be convinced to join the Magpies. More

The Inter Miami owner also praised the supporters for not giving up on the Red Devils, despite a raft of poor performances, by filling Old Trafford every week.
The former England captain expects changes to be made under incoming manager Erik ten Hag but hopes fellow club legend Ronaldo will stay on for next season.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner has another year left on his Old Trafford deal but his future is now uncertain, even though he has been United’s shining light during a disastrous campaign.
Beckham told Sky Sports: “There’s changes to be made and changes that are happening and we’ve seen that.

“It’s a tough end to the season but it is the end of the season. I’m sure a lot of the fans are thankful of that because it’s been a tough one.
“It’s been full of ups and downs, the players have done what they can do best and so has the manager as well.
“But you still turn up at the stadium, I turned up at the stadium a few months back and every seat is filled so the fans still believe, the fans still support. The fans would always turn up for the team because it’s what the United fans do.
“There’s not many other teams that have gone through what they’ve gone through in the last few years and still filling out their stadium. That says a lot about the fans, [it] says a lot about what they believe in and there will be changes.

“Obviously Cristiano is one of the best players over the last 15 years with Lio [Lionel Messi]. To see him stay on, hopefully staying on at United, is important for the fans.
“I think it’s important to him, we all know how much Man Utd means to him and he’s still doing what he does best – scoring goals and creating.
“That’s what Cristiano does and even at his age, to be doing what he’s doing, is really incredible so hopefully it continues and hopefully he stays for another year or two.” More

He has been continuously linked with a return to management, with it understood he wants to succeed Didier Deschamps as France’s national team boss.
But there has been strong rumours that Zizou could make the move to Les Parisiens with Pochettino facing an uncertain future.
It was reported in April that the ex-Tottenham boss was on the brink of the sack following another campaign that has seen them fail to win the Champions League.
Poch is claimed to have been keen to return to the Premier League to take over from Ralf Rangnick, and was left shocked that Erik ten Hag was preferred instead.

Despite insisting last month that he will be staying in the French capital, it seems inevitable that he will be parting ways with PSG in the summer.
Zidane is believed to be the Ligue 1 champions’ preferred choice to replace him.
And now FFP president Le Graet has hinted that he could link up with PSG instead of Les Bleus.
Speaking to L’Equipe on whether Zidane is in line to succeed Deschamps in the future, he said: “You have to be careful what you say.

by Philippa Kaur 8 May 2022, 18:51
MANCHESTER UNITED have given up their pursuit of West Brom and England keeper Sam Johnstone.The Red Devils’ withdrawal from the transfer race leaves Tottenham in prime position to snap him up.

Man Utd already have David de Gea and Dean Henderson vying for the No1 spot in between the sticks.
And Johnstone, who was on United’s books until 2018, is searching for more regular first team football, so Old Trafford would not appear to be the right fit for him.
According to The Mirror, Spurs is the likely destination for the 29-year-old as they are in search of a back-up keeper to Hugo Lloris.
The report states the Lilywhites believe he can provide genuine competition for the Frenchman and also act as an accomplished understudy.

Johnstone is out of contract this summer, so Tottenham will be available to claim him on a free transfer.
Despite coming through the youth set-up at Man Utd, Johnstone never secured a first team appearance for the club.
He was farmed out on loan to a host of clubs – Oldham, Scunthorpe, Walsall, Yeovil, Doncaster, Preston and Aston Villa.
He then finally clinched a permanent move in 2018 when he joined West Brom.

by Philippa Kaur 8 May 2022, 17:30

But he has started the last five Premier League games, scoring four goals and keeping club captain Alexandre Lacazette on the bench.
His brace against Leeds sent Mikel Arteta’s side five points clear of Spurs in the race for the top four as they edged out a 2-1 victory.
Nketiah’s recent form has led many to speculate that he could be open to staying beyond the end of the season.
And when asked if performances like the one against Leeds make him want to stay, he told Sky Sports: “It’s a great atmosphere throughout the whole season, it’s been excellent.

Arsenal verdict: Spurred on for showdown
ARSENAL 2 LEEDS 1: Another one successfully ticked off the list for Mikel Arteta’s young guns, writes GIACOMO PISA.
Now all that’s left to do is win Thursday night’s north London derby and Champions League football will be secured for the first time since 2016-17.
It will be no easy task though, proven by Antonio Conte’s side stealing a point against Liverpool on Saturday night.
But the thought of clinching Champions League qualification against the Gunners’ most bitter rivals is all the motivation Arteta and his side need.
And after spending the entire season in a battle for fourth-place, Arsenal could somehow end up miraculously ending the season in third place.
A 2-1 win at home to Jesse Marsch’s Leeds saw the Gunners extend the gap over Tottenham to four points, while cutting the deficit to Chelsea to a single point.
The narrow defeat flattered the visitors – Gabriel Martinelli, Martin Odegaard and Granit Xhaka all wasted good chances to add to Eddie Nketiah’s early double.

Arsenal sub ratings
Nicolas Pele (On for Saka – 68 mins) – 4
Given a decent enough run out by Arteta, but failed to impact the game at all when after he was introduced.
Guilty of losing the ball in promising occasions a number of times.
Emile Smith Rowe (On for Martinelli – 78 mins) – 5
The same can be said for Smith Rowe, who has now fallen behind Martinelli in the pecking order at the Emirates.
Alexandre Lacazette (On for Nketiah – 90 mins) – N/A
Rest of the starting XI ratings
Gabriel Martinelli – 8
Possesses an incredible ability to the ball glued to his feet while defenders bounce off him.
Assisted Nketiah’s second goal with a perfect cut-back, and was also fortunate to escape from Ayling’s wild red card two-footed challenge without injury.
But he was let down by his finishing, and should have scored twice. Fired over Ilan Meslier’s crossbar when put through one-vs-one, before skewing a volley horribly wide moments later after it sat kindly for him.
Eddie Nketiah – 9
Summed up his hunger to score goals inside the opening five minutes, chasing down Ilan Meslier to tackle the goalkeeper and score.
Showed his striker’s instinct to score the second too. Didn’t celebrate the first upon netting against his old team, but had no problems celebrating when he doubled the score.
More ratings
Mohamed Elneny – 6
Went slightly more under the radar than his midfield compatriot, but a solid display nonetheless.
Bukayo Saka – 8
Started the game well, bamboozling Junior Firpo with his pace and trickery.
The youngster has confidence oozing out of him, proven by backing himself to take on a long-range volley. The effort was blocked, but the confidence is there for all to see.
Began to fade away in the second half, and was replaced with just over 20 minutes to play by Nicolas Pepe.
Martin Odegaard – 8
Watching the Arsenal skipper was like watching a master at work at times.
Some of the deft flicks and back-heels that the Norwegian international pulled out of his bag of tricks today were an absolute joy to watch.
Ratings continued
Gabriel Magalhaes – 7
Booked on 16 minutes for a wild lunge on Dan James, that if he had made more firm contact could have easily been a red.
Not much to do throughout the game, and will be frustrated to come away without a clean sheet.
Cedric Soares – 6
Perhaps a tad susceptible at times to balls over the top, the Emirates crowd didn’t seem entirely convinced with Cedric’s display.
But the full-back did prove he is more than capable to step in when the first-choice options are unavailable.
Granit Xhaka – 7
Very impressive off the ball today, quick to hound the noticeably nervous Leeds defence.
Should have had a goal early in the second half but fluffed his lines from three yards out.
Arsenal ratings
Aaron Ramsdale – 6
It’s hard to give a player a rating when they have absolutely nothing to do, but that is the case for the Arsenal goalkeeper.
Only thing asked of him was picking the ball out of the net for the Leeds goal, which he could have done nothing about.
Takehiro Tomiyasu – 7
Asked to play in the more slightly unnatural position of left-back against Leeds’ biggest attacking threat in Raphinha.
Did the job well, and the Japanese international continued to prove he’s a guaranteed 7/10 every week.
Rob Holding – 5
Stepped in at centre-back again in the absence of the injured Ben White.
The man the Arsenal faithful call “Holdinho” doesn’t possess the same passing range as White, or the same composure at the back.
He was beaten at the near post from a corner with worrying ease by Junior Firpo, who flicked on for Diego Llorente to score Leeds’ goal.

Lacazette among young Gunners bench
1 Leno, 9 Lacazette, 10 Smith Rowe, 19 Pepe, 20 Tavares, 23 Lokonga, 65 Oulad M’Hand, 69 Swanson, 87 Patino
Gunners formation
Mikel Arteta makes one change to his side that started at West Ham last Sunday.
Cedric Soares returns to the defence, but this time as a left-back as he replaces Nuno Tavares.
There’s still no Ben White so Rob Holding, a goalscoring hero against the Hammers, continues at centre-back.
Meanwhile, in attack, Gabriel Martinelli, a tormentor of Leeds, and Eddie Nketiah, a former loanee at Elland Road, keep their places.
It’s a 4-2-3-1 shape for the Gunners that could easily transcend into a 4-3-3 if captain Martin Odegaard decides to drop deep to allow Martinelli and Bukayo Saka to press.
Leeds United XI
Young Joe Gelhardt starts.
Stuart Dallas is out after sustaining a horrific injury last weekend.
Kalvin Phillips will be holding.
1 Meslier, 2 Ayling, 14 Llorente, 5 Koch, 3 Firpo, 10 Raphinha, 43 Klich, 23 Phillips, 22 Harrison, 30 Gelhardt, 20 James
Nketiah keeps his Arsenal place
32 Ramsdale; 18 Tomiyasu, 16 Holding, 6 Gabriel, 17 Cedric; 25 Elneny, 34 Xhaka; 7 Saka, 8 Odegaard, 35 Martinelli; 30 Nketiah
Gunning for glory
Arsenal are currently sitting fourth, just two points ahead of Spurs with a crucial clash between the two sides to come next Thursday at Tottenham.
But for now, Arsenal must focus on Leeds, who are itching to get themselves out of a brutal relegation battle.
Jesse Marsch’s men are in 17th, just two points clear of Everton in 18th but the Toffees have a game in hand.
With all that at stake, Arsenal’s clash with Leeds is one of the most important of the weekend in the Premier League.
Line ups will be out in half an hour!
Arsenal vs Leeds TODAY
Arsenal take on Leeds in a HUGE Premier League today as the Gunners hunt down a spot in the top four.
Mikel Arteta’s side are battling with North London rivals Tottenham for the final Champions League position in the table.
It all kicks off at the Emirates Stadium at 2pm today.
Nketiah backed
Tim Sherwood and Clinton Morrison have urged Arsenal to keep hold of Eddie Nketiah.
The young striker’s contract expires at the end of the campaign, and the Gunners have yet to agree a new deal.
But speaking on Soccer Saturday, Sherwood and Morrison have backed Arsenal to keep the poacher.
“I would give him another contract, I still think they need to bring in another world class striker but I’d definitely give him one. He’s young and hungry,” Morrison said.
While Sherwood said Arteta should copy what he did with Harry Kane.
He said: “He’s the one player from their academy who’s had no love, why can’t he be the answer? Someone said he’s not going to take you to the level where you need to be.
“Well, Harry Kane wasn’t at the level when he first got into the side [at Tottenham]. You need to develop that level, they [young players] need to feel loved, they need to feel part of the environment.”
Arsenal team news vs Leeds
Ben White is still a major doubt for Arsenal as he has a tight hamstring which forced him to miss the win over West Ham.
Takehiro Tomiyasu could come in for the Gunners but Thomas Partey is out for a while, as is Kieran Tierney.
Patrick Bamford isn’t likely to play but Daniel James should slot into Jesse Marsch’s attack just fine.
Liam Cooper, Tyler Roberts and Stuart Dallas are all on the sidelines for Leeds.

Tielemans exclusive
Arsenal are closing in on a £40million deal for Leicester star Youri Tielemans.
But Real Madrid would be waiting to pounce on the Belgian midfielder should the Gunners fail to qualify for the Champions League.
However there is growing confidence from the player’s camp and the Emirates club that Tielemans will be an Arsenal player next season.
Gunners boss Mikel Arteta wants to boost the quality and depth of his midfield options this summer.
Tielemans deal ‘close’
Arsenal are closing in on a £40million deal for Leicester star Youri Tielemans.

However there is growing confidence from the player’s camp and the Emirates club that Tielemans will be an Arsenal player next season.
Gunners boss Mikel Arteta wants to boost the quality and depth of his midfield options this summer.
Tielemans would be an upgrade on both Granit Xhaka, whose future at the Emirates is uncertain, and Mohamed Elneny, with his contract expiring this summer.
Leicester are all but resigned to selling the man whose goal won them the FA Cup last season.
Way to the Champions League
After Tottenham’s draw at Anfield, Arsenal now have three ways of guaranteeing Champions League football next season.
Win the next 2 games
Win against Leeds, draw to Spurs and win one out of Newcastle (A) and Everton (H)
Win against Leeds, lose to Spurs and win against both Newcastle (A) and Everton (H)

Tim Sherwood and Clinton Morrison have urged Arsenal to keep hold of Eddie Nketiah.
The young striker’s contract expires at the end of the campaign, and the Gunners have yet to agree a new deal.
But speaking on Soccer Saturday, Sherwood and Morrison have backed Arsenal to keep the poacher.
“I would give him another contract, I still think they need to bring in another world class striker but I’d definitely give him one. He’s young and hungry,” Morrison said.
While Sherwood said Arteta should copy what he did with Harry Kane.
He said: “He’s the one player from their academy who’s had no love, why can’t he be the answer? Someone said he’s not going to take you to the level where you need to be.
“Well, Harry Kane wasn’t at the level when he first got into the side [at Tottenham]. You need to develop that level, they [young players] need to feel loved, they need to feel part of the environment.”

Man Utd LOSE 4-0 to Brighton reaction, Richarlison eyed, Man City ‘discuss’ Pogba, Ten Hag DESPERATE for Ronaldo to stay
by Philippa Kaur 8 May 2022, 15:38
MANCHESTER UNITED lost 4-0 to Brighton on Saturday evening in what was the club’s most embarrassing defeat of the season. But United could be tempted to make a move for Everton talisman Richarlison in the summer, according to reports.
The Brazilian has single-handedly lead the Toffees relegation fight and he could be available for around £50 million in the summer.
Meanwhile, Erik Ten Hag is reportedly eager for Cristiano Ronaldo to continue at Old Trafford next season.
And rumours suggest that United’s local rivals Manchester City are set to ‘discuss’ a potential move for World Cup winner Paul Pogba once his contract comes to an end.

Ron’s regular chats with Fergie over Utd future
Cristiano Ronaldo regularly shares a cuppa with Alex Ferguson to talk over his Manchester United future, it’s claimed today.
The Mirror says the ‘private meetings’ at each other’s homes have been a feature of Ron’s second spell at Old Trafford.
Legendary ex-United boss Ferguson not only signed the Portugal superstar back in 2003, he also aided the 37-year-old’s return last summer.
It’s suggested Fergie believes Ronaldo should stay with the Red Defvils next season – under incoming manager Erik ten Hag.
Fernandes’ honest assessment
Bruno Fernandes has admitted that Manchester United players are not fit to wear the shirt.
Red Devils fans turned on their own players as they were humiliated 4-0 by Brighton on the South Coast yesterday.
Livid supporters, having made the long journey, chanted “you’re not fit to wear the shirt” as their side were battered by the superior Seagulls.
When asked about the fans’ brutal assessment by Sky Sports after the game, Fernandes couldn’t disagree.
He said: “I include myself in that.
“What we did today, what I did today, was not enough to be in a Man United shirt and I accept it.”
Old Trafford shortlist
United have plenty of stars on their transfer wishlist including Declan Rice, Christopher Nkunku, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Frenkie de Jong.
Ten Hag will likely want to raid Ajax too, with Sebastien Haller and £50million-rated Antony.
Rangnick’s side were thumped 4-0 at Brighton yesterday to condemn United to their worst points tally in the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era.
It was another horror performance from the Red Devils who are now clinging on to qualify for the Europa League.
The German boss said: “It’s important that we apologise to our supporters who came all the way from Manchester to Brighton.
“We were just not good enough from start to finish. The performance was not only poor, it was extremely poor.”
Eight out of Ten Hag
Ralf Rangnick revealed his successor Erik ten Hag will make up to eight transfers this summer after their south-coast “humiliation”, writes JOSHUA JONES.
The outgoing Manchester United manager has just one game left as interim boss, taking on Crystal Palace away on the final day of the season.
And then he will hand over the reins to Ten Hag, who has a mammoth task of rebuilding the underperforming squad of flops.
As well as shipping out plenty of deadwood, the Dutchman will be busy sorting out plenty of new arrivals.

Rangnick said: “In the end football is pretty easy, you just need to win games.
“In order to do that it’s obvious with quite a few players whose contracts are expiring we need a number of new players.
“There is already at least something like a number of players that are really top players for this club but as I said we need all the other areas.
“I suppose there will be six or eight new players.
“They should be top players to strengthen the quality of the squad.”
Man Utd’s quest for European football
West Ham still trail United by six points.
The Hammers have two games in hand though, they still have three left to play in total.
Ralf Rangnick’s side have just one.
Will the Red Devils casually lean into Europe?
‘Tell me again how Harry Maguire is the problem’
With 20 minutes left on the clock it was all about damage control for Ralf Rangnick in the 4-0 loss at the Amex.
He decided to replace Juan Mata with Harry Maguire.
Many fans saw the funny side to the substitution given the circumstances, with rapper Guvna B tweeting: “Maguire on for Mata when you’re 4 nil down against Brighton might be the funniest substitute of all time.”
Another joked: “A bit late to worry about the goal difference!”
Some United supporters also took the time to defend Maguire, who has regularly been blamed for the team’s defensive issues this season.
One person took to Twitter to say: “Apologise right now to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Harry Maguire.”
Another added: “Tell me again how Harry Maguire is the problem.”
Player ratings – subs
Fred (for Matic, 46) – 3/10
Brazilian made zero impact in trying to grab hold of the midfield after half-time.
Was twisted all ends up after a brilliant bit of skill by Gross as Brighton went into party mode.
Edinson Cavani (for Elanga, 46) – 5/10
Stung Sanchez’s palms with a good header just after the hour mark. Denied a tap in by the offside flag.
Harry Maguire (for Mata, 70) – 5/10
Forced a brilliant save by Sanchez, with his rebound prodded in by the offside Cavani.
Subs not used: Henderson, Wan-Bissaka, Jones, Fernandez, Lingard, Garnacho
Player ratings – attack
ANTHONY ELANGA – 4/10
Completely anonymous opening 45 minutes for the 20-year-old.
Was dominated by Cucurella before being subbed for Edinson Cavani.
BRUNO FERNANDES – 5/10
Tested Sanchez with a sweet first-time strike from the edge of the box, although the score was already 4-0 by that point.
The attacking midfielder wore a frustrated look for much of the match, an expression of his that United fans have become used to this season.
CRISTIANO RONALDO – 4/10
Wore a wry smile of disbelief as Brighton’s goals racked up in the second-half.
The Portuguese was unable to have the sort of impact on the game that he has managed at times this season.
Player ratings – midfield
SCOTT MCTOMINAY – 4/10
Academy product was totally overrun by Brighton’s midfielders.
The Scotland international may well be fighting for his United future when Erik ten Hag arrives this summer.
NEMANJA MATIC – 5/10
Not a vintage performance from the Serb, but unlucky to be hooked at the break ahead of McTominay.
Replaced by Fred.
JUAN MATA – 5/10
Tested Robert Sanchez with a well struck, if slightly tame volley. Spaniard’s cross then set up a Cavani header, which forced a more difficult save.
Substituted with 20 minutes to go as Rangnick went into damage control mode by bringing on centre-back Harry Maguire.
Player ratings – defence
DIOGO DALOT – 3/10
Caught hopelessly out of position for Brighton’s second goal. Blazed a shot from range wildly over the bar.
Cleared Danny Welbeck’s chip off the line only for the ball to ricochet off Leandro Trossard and into the back of the net anyway.
VICTOR LINDELOF – 3/10
Played his part in a shambolic rearguard performance from United’s backline.
The Swede and partner Raphael Varane were constantly moved out of position by Brighton’s passing and movement.
RAPHAEL VARANE – 3/10
Beaten by Gross for Brighton’s third. Totally lost Danny Welbeck in the build-up to the Seagulls’ fourth.
Varane has enjoyed a brilliantly decorated career in the game, but you wouldn’t have known it watching this woeful outing.
ALEX TELLES – 3/10
Given a lesson in how to play as a competent, attacking left-back by Marc Cucurella.
The Brazilian was utterly ineffective deputising for the injured Luke Shaw.
Man Utd player ratings vs Brighton
Manchester United were humiliated 4-0 by Brighton as their sorry season meanders towards an end.
Supporters will be thrilled that they don’t have to endure watching their dreadful outfit in action next weekend, with their final match taking place in a fortnight’s time.
On an embarrassing day for United, SunSport’s Etienne Fermie rates and slates each Red Devils player.
DAVID DE GEA – 4/10
Left helpless by Moises Caicedo and Marc Cucurella’s strikes. Subsequently beaten one on one by Pascal Gross.
Was chipped by former team-mate Danny Welbeck prior to Brighton’s bundled fourth – didn’t make any saves of note.
Gary Neville reacts
Gary Neville was rendered speechless after yet another abject display from Manchester United.
Neville’s ONE CHARACTER long tweet has racked up over 64,000 likes.

Cristiano Ronaldo latest
Ex-Manchester United ace Dion Dublin doubts Cristiano Ronaldo will stay at Old Trafford.
Ronaldo has been linked with a summer exit following a disappointing campaign in his comeback season.
Dublin told Sky Sports: “I don’t know where Ronaldo goes from here. Does he go back to Italy or Spain? I don’t know where he goes.
“I find it hard to see him staying at United unless something is done incredibly quickly.
“Then again, I don’t know where he goes. I think United will be lost without him so I am hoping he is going to be [staying at] United without a doubt.
“But I don’t know why he’d stay to be honest with you. Unless the new manager says right £300million, these players are coming in, please stay. Otherwise I think he’s gone.”
Rangnick apologises to the fans
Manchester United’s interim boss Ralf Rangnick has said sorry to the fans who travelled to watch their side lose 4-0 at Brighton.
Rangnick, 63, said: “It’s important that we apologise to our supporters who came all the way from Manchester to Brighton.
“We were just not good enough from start to finish. The performance was not only poor, it was extremely poor.”
Tyson Fury lays into United
Tyson Fury slammed Manchester United over their embarrassing performance against Brighton as he stated the squad should join him in retirement.
The Red Devils were thrashed 4-0 by the Seagulls at the Amex Stadium on Saturday to officially end their faint top four hopes.
The unbeaten Mancunian, 33, took to his Instagram story to berate his beloved side.
Captioning the clip, he said: “Shocking this, we are having a shocking season. Bring on 2023.”
Speaking in the video, he remarked: “I tell you what, never mind the Gypsy King retiring, what are you saying United?”
Wag horror
The girlfriend of Man United star Tahith Chong told how they were held at knifepoint by a masked gang in a 3am raid.
Nightclub performer Rianna Taylor, 24, said she feared for her life when a balaclava-clad trio burst into the Dutch footballer’s home and threatened to “chop them up”.
Midfielder Chong, 22, became the fifth United or Man City player since Christmas to be burgled by a gang targeting stars in the area.
Rianna told how the raiders woke the pair by shining torches in their eyes before yanking the player out of bed by his ankle as they brandished knives and a baseball bat.
Fury bashes beloved Red Devils

Ronaldo could go
Former Manchester United ace Dion Dublin doubts Cristiano Ronaldo will stay at Old Trafford.

Rangnick apologises to fans
Ralf Rangnick apologised to Manchester United fans for one of the worst defeats of his 35-year managerial career and admitted the season has been a disaster.
The Red Devils were smashed 4-0 by midtable Brighton thanks to goals from Moises Caicedo, Marc Cucurella, Pascal Gross and Leandro Trossard.
Rangnick, 63, said: “It’s important that we apologise to our supporters who came all the way from Manchester to Brighton.
“We were just not good enough from start to finish. The performance was not only poor, it was extremely poor.”
Blunt Neville’s criticism
Gary Neville was rendered speechless after yet another abject display from Manchester United.
Often so critical of the Red Devils this season, the former pro turned pundit was actually lost for words following the 4-0 defeat to Brighton.
Neville took to Twitter after the game, simply posting a full stop as he reacted to the thrashing at the hands of the Seagulls.
And Manchester United fans seemed to have been left equally as speechless by the abject display.
Neville’s ONE CHARACTER long tweet racked up over 20,000 less than half an hour after being published.

Ronaldo spotted smiling in disbelief
Man Utd fans spotted Cristiano Ronaldo laughing and shaking his head in disbelief during an embarrassing performance at Brighton.
United were torn to shreds by the Seagulls, who won 4-0 at the Amex Stadium with goals by Moises Caicedo, Marc Cucurella, Pascal Gross and Leandro Trossard.
Ronaldo was clearly frustrated throughout the match and it got so bad that supporters saw him laughing sarcastically with the state of the team, which has been enduring a disappointing season.
One fan tweeted: “Don’t blame Ronaldo for laughing I’m laughing too. They arent fit to wear the shirt.”

Lingard wanted
Fulham West Ham and Newcastle are all keen to sign Jesse Lingard in the next transfer window, reports suggest.
The Manchester United midfielder is set to leave Old Trafford at the end of the season when his contract expires.
And according to sports journalist Rudy Galetti, he wants to stay in the Premier League.
Galetti also reported that newly-promoted Fulham have been monitoring his situation.
History made… for the wrong reasons
Man Utd have lost 4-0 to Brighton, and now are guaranteed their worst Premier League-era points tally.
It’s also worth noting they’ve shipped in 56 goals in this campaign – more than any other season before in the Prem.
What was I saying about ten Hag’s task earlier?

Kehl anticipates “clarity” on a deal involving the star striker and the Citizens by next week, following recent reports suggesting the two parties have agreed on a five-year contract worth £500,000 a week.
The former Dortmund ace told Sport1: “Erling Haaland deal? I think we will have clarity on Erling in the next week.”
Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano also confirmed “City are working on it” and “talks have been underway for weeks.”
Haaland has taken the world of football by storm ever since bursting onto the scene with Red Bull Salzburg in 2019.

The Norway international amassed a staggering total of 29 goals and seven assists in 27 matches with Salzburg.
The 21-year-old joined Dortmund a year later, where he currently counts a whopping 85 goals and 23 assists in 88 appearances across all competitions.
The Norwegian has been targeted by a number of elite clubs in the last three years.
City are the favourites to trigger his £64million clause in the summer amid their ongoing search for a striker that will fill in the void left behind by record goalscorer Sergio Aguero last year.
