    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.

    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.
    “It was a humiliating defeat today. Even more so for a team like Manchester United.

    Man Utd LOSE 4-0 to Brighton, Richarlison interest, Man City ‘discuss’ Pogba, Ten Hag DESPERATE for Ronaldo to stay

    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.

    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
    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?
    “Why don’t they f***ing retire? Get off!”
    Ronaldo could go
    Former 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 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.
    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.
    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.”
    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?
    Damage limitation time
    Brighton now lead 4-0 – and it’s damage limitation time at the Amex Stadium.
    Pascal Gross and Leandro Trossard have ended this game as a contest.
    Now, it’s about saving face for United.

    Ronaldo to break No7 curse
    Cristiano Ronaldo is poised to become the first Manchester United player to score 20 Premier League goals since the 2012-13 season.
    And in doing so the 37-year-old will once and for all break the No7 shirt curse at Old Trafford that has haunted a number of star footballers.
    Cristiano Ronaldo is closing in on 20 Premier League goals for Manchester United this
    Pogba to City could happen, says Berbatov
    Man Utd’s departing star Paul Pogba could be tempted to join rivals Manchester City.
    That is according to United legend Dimitar Berbatov, who believes Pogba may be keen to link up with City manager Pep Guardiola.
    Berbatov told Betfair: “I have read the latest rumours about Paul Pogba, his contract is expiring in the summer and he is free to contact and speak to whoever.
    “He should have done better at United, most of the time he had some injuries, his talent is immense but it didn’t quite work out.
    “He had more downs than up at United, which is a pity because he is a great, great talent.
    “A United player going to City has happened before, like my former teammate Carlos Tevez, and it will be no surprise if it happens again.”
    United’s eleven
    The United team is in and there’s no real surprises.
    Maguire is still on the bench, with Lindelof and Varane the preferred centre backs.
    Ronaldo is in, although rather hilariously they’ve spelled his name wrong on the team sheet on their Twitter.

    Ten Hag ready to raid Ajax
    Erik ten Hag has admitted that there is nothing stopping him from raiding Ajax for their finest talent when he joins Manchester United.
    The Dutchman has agreed a three-year deal to take charge at Old Trafford next season, quitting Dutch giants Ajax in the process.
    It’s been suggested that the Eredivisie leaders may have wanted to make an agreement with United dictating that ten Hag be banned from bringing his best players with him.
    But the 52-year-old himself has confirmed that this is not the case.
    Ten Hag said: “There’s no agreement in place that would exclude me from taking players to Manchester United.
    “Which Ajax players are interesting?
    “I have very good players here, but that’s a non-issue.”
    Bella Esmeralda Ronaldo is named
    Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez have named their new born daughter, writes GIACOMO PISA.
    In an adorable Instagram post, Georgina showed the latest addition to the Ronaldo family sleeping peacefully.

    The baby was born on April 18, and Georgina has now officially announced they have named the girl Bella Esmeralda.
    The couple were flooded with messages of congratulations as the post racked up a million likes on Instagram in just half an hour.
    It’s the first time Georgina has shown fans close up pictures of new born Bella.
    Brighton vs Man Utd team news
    Jadon Sancho remains out for United with tonsillitis, while Paul Pogba and Luke Shaw are also sidelined.
    While Harry Maguire has returned to training and is expected to feature.
    Enock Mwepo is a doubt for Brighton with a groin injury.
    Will Ronaldo stay?
    Manchester United have recovered from their defeat at Arsenal with a draw at Chelsea and then victory over Brentford last time out.
    It was after their final home game against the Bees that Cristiano Ronaldo – who has one year left on his United deal – seemed to say: “I’m not finished yet.”
    The Portuguese superstar appeared to mouth the words during a post-match lap of honour in regards to still being at the club next term.

    But now he has insisted that was NOT what he said amid speculation over his future at Old Trafford.
    In response to an Instagram post about his message into the camera, Ronaldo replied: “I didn’t say that.”
    The United legend has scored 24 goals in 37 appearances for the club so far this season.
    Ron the way
    Ronaldo and his Manchester United team-mates are aiming to finish the season strongly when they travel to Brighton this evening.
    The match kicks off at 5.30pm.

    Chelsea’s big money takeover
    Chelsea’s proposed £4.25billion takeover is set to more than DOUBLE the record for the most expensive in sporting history – and it dwarfs the fee paid for rivals Manchester United, writes DAVE FRASER.
    Todd Boehly’s consortium have signed a deal to purchase the club after Roman Abramovich decided to sell up.
    Chelsea confirmed £2.5bn will be deposited into a frozen UK bank account with the intention to donate it all to charitable causes.
    The remaining £1.75bn is for investment into the club including developments of Stamford Bridge and the women’s team.

    Boehly was pictured outside the ground on Friday night with fellow members of his group including ex-chancellor George Osborne.
    However, the mega-deal is not over the line just yet and needs to go through due processes with the Government and the Premier League but is expected to be completed by May 31.
    Eriksen transfer latest
    Brentford playmaker Christian Eriksen is reportedly considering extending his spell with the Premier League newbies.
    The 30-year-old has caught the eye in west London after penning a short-term contract back in January.
    That deal expires in the summer, with plenty of big names said to be lining up a free transfer swoop for the Danish international.
    Brentford though are desperate to tie Eriksen down to fresh terms.
    And in recent days the midfielder has been looking around the plush west London district of Chiswick, according to the Telegraph.
    The area is just a stone’s throw away from the Bees’ home ground, and is a blow to Tottenham and United’s hopes of securing a deal.
    Brighton vs Man Utd team news
    Jadon Sancho remains out for United with tonsillitis, while Paul Pogba and Luke Shaw are also sidelined.

    Todd Boehly SIGNS £4.25bn agreement to buy Chelsea, Blues ‘frustrated’ in Haaland transfer, Wolves DRAW reaction

    CHELSEA have AGREED terms on the £4.25bn sale of the club to Todd Boehly.The American billionaire is also the owner of the LA Dodgers baseball team, and leads the consortium.
    Meanwhile, the Blues have been left frustrated that the sanctions placed on the club have restricted their transfer pursuit of Erling Haaland.
    But it reportedly hasn’t stopped Chelsea from setting their sights on Torino defender Gleison Bremer.
    SUN BINGO GET £50 BONUS & 50 FREE SPINS TODAY
    Keep up to date with all of the latest gossip from the takeover in our live blog…
    Villas-Boas new job
    Ex-Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas is a candidate to take over the Morocco job, according to reports.
    Viilas-Boas has been out of work since last year, when he was sacked by Marseille.
    According to beIN Sports MENA, the Portuguese tactician is the No1 candidate for the role.
    Laurent Blanc and Hervé Renard are also said to be in the frame for the African country who have qualified for World Cup 2022.
    Ownership focus not blame, says Tuchel
    Thomas Tuchel has revealed that all takeover talk of the club wasn’t a distraction, as Chelsea were held 2-2 at home to Wolves.
    Speaking after the game, the German coach said: “I don’t think the ownership is a reason for a lack of focus. I don’t think there is a lack of focus. We showed focus during the situation when it began. I wouldn’t consider this as an advantage now for the match against Leeds. It doesn’t change much for us as the sanctions haven’t been lifted and the season goes on.
    “It seems like the situation has been resolved but it’s not. We’ve got our own things to address, which we haven’t done as a team so far.
    “I heard the news today in the morning when I was in the middle of preparing for the match. There has been no difference to what I do which is the best preparation for the match, no matter what’s happening on the outside. I have my routine and I have enough to do. It doesn’t affect me, but the news is positive and we need it to be resolved.”
    Rudiger talks affecting players
    Thomas Tuchel believes Antonio Rudiger’s potential exit is affecting Chelsea’s stars.
    The German defender looks set to leave Stamford Bridge, with talks over a new deal stalling.
    And Tuchel revealed: “It surely affects the team, but I cannot tell you to which degree. The longer the situation goes (on), now it has a huge affect because Toni leaves us in the middle the process where we are sanctioned and could not even fight, could not do another offer, could not be in negotiations.”
    “It clearly has an affect, and it makes not so much sense to deny it; we lose now one of our key players. This decision has an effect on the dressing room because Toni is not isolating when he’s here at Cobham and does not talk to anyone, so he is a huge part; he is a leader, and, of course, the situation is like that.”
    Tuchel blasts Pulisic’s dad
    Thomas Tuchel has insisted he is not concerned if his players’ father don’t love him, as he hit back at the Twitter comments of Christian Pulisic’s dad.
    The Chelsea boss fielded questions over the American after his father spoke out over his “sad situation”.
    The Blues manager has insisted the critical comments do not affect him as he pulled cold water over the row.
    Tuchel said: “I am not concerned if the player’s father says he does not love me [on Twitter].
    “It’s a normal thing [for a player to be frustrated]. We have our reasons to go for players in the first XI.
    “You will never see happy faces from players who are not selected. With me and Christian, there is zero problem. In some matches he has a huge impact from the bench. I didn’t even know [about his dad’s tweet]. It has nothing to do with it.
    “The players are responsible for being in the team and staying in the team. Am I always right? For sure, not. Is it always fair? For sure, not. The reaction from Christian has been the opposite, he’s very strong, very positive in the last weeks.”
    Chelsea stat
    Chelsea’s draw at home to Wolves, after blowing a two-goal lead was a first in nearly two years.
    This is the first time the Blues have failed to win a Premier League game in which they were 2+ goals ahead since October 2020 vs Southampton (3-3), having won 24 consecutive such matches prior to today.
    Lukaku’s a ‘big lump’
    Wolves assistant coach Tony Roberts called Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku a “big lump” after he won a controversial penalty in their 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge.
    Roberts spoke on behalf of manager Bruno Lage, who was absent after testing positive for Covid.
    Questioning the decision, Roberts said: ‘He’s a big lump, isn’t he? So, for him to go down, I’m not sure.”
    Silva’s son
    Thiago Silva may have made his name in football as defender, but son Iago might fancy his chances of playing further up the pitch.
    The Chelsea star’s wife Belle, 35, caught the youngster on camera working on his free-kicks in the back garden.
    Look at that technique.

    Leicester to rival Chelsea for Bremer
    Brendan Rodgers has stepped up plans to beef up his flimsy Foxes defence with Torino’s £40million-rated Brazilian powerhouse Gleison Bremer.
    And he hopes to tempt Torino into parting with their in-demand centre-back by offering them on-loan midfielder Dennis Praet to sweeten the deal.
    SunSport understands Leicester officials met with their Torino counterparts while in Italy this week – for their Europa Conference League clash with Roma – in an attempt to thrash out a double-deal which would suit both parties.
    Torino want Praet to return on loan next season because they cannot afford Leicester’s £12.85million asking price for the Belgian midfielder, who turns 28 next week.
    If their bid is successful, they would have stolen a march on the Blues for his services.
    Boehly’s worth against rivals
    Chelsea’s new proposed owner Todd Boehly and his consortium are reportedly worth a whopping combined £10.86billion.
    That would make the Blues boast the sixth wealthiest owners in world football and third richest in the Premier League.
    Chelsea’s proposed consortium will make them the sixth richest football owners in the world
    Last 15 minutes
    Thomas Tuchel’s side lost two goals in the last 10 minutes against Wolves in the draw on Saturday.
    Some have accused the Blues of dropping too deep, but the German boss saw it differently.
    “It’s not about dropping too much, it’s about where we were losing the ball and the opponent taking a crazy approach,” he said.
    “Big chances that we don’t create, the pass is missing, the dribbling is wrong.”
    Tuchel’s concern
    Thomas Tuchel has admitted his concern about Chelsea being dragged into the top four race.
    The Blues failed to win at home against Wolves – dropping a two goal lead in a 2-2 draw.
    Arsenal are four points behind them, with a game in hand, while Spurs trail the West London side by six points with a game in hand.
    After the game, Tuchel revealed: “If you don’t win, of course you have to be concerned [being caught for third place].
    “But you have to concentrate on your own results and the only focus is on us.”
    Tuchel on Boehly
    Thomas Tuchel has spoken about news Todd Boehly has become the preferred bidder for Chelsea FC.
    The German manager spoke after the Blues were held at home to Wolves:
    He said: “We are positive about it but we need the process to finish otherwise it does not change much in our daily routine.”
    Heartbreak for Blues
    The Blues threw away a 2-0 lead against Wolves to draw 2-2 at Stamford Bridge, in front of buyer Todd Boehly.
    Romelu Lukaku broke his scoring duck to net twice, before Francisco Trincao gave Wanderers a lifeline in the 79th minute.
    Then, seven minutes into stoppage time Conor Coady broke Chelsea fans’ hearts with a late equaliser.
    Azpilicueta’s Barcelona deal
    Barcelona have agreed a two-year deal with Chelsea defender Cesar Azpilicueta, according to reports.
    The Spaniard, 32, is set to leave for free after a 10 year stint at Stamford Bridge.
    His contract expires at the end of the season, and due to the sanctions that the UK Government have placed on Chelsea, the club currently cannot negotiate any new deals.
    According to Spanish outlet AS, Barcelona have swooped in to put a huge offer on the table, of which Azpilicueta has agreed to.
    The two-year deal will see the defender earn £11million per-season.
    It also includes the option of a one-year extension.
    Chelsea lead
    Two quickfire goals from the Blues have put them 2-0 up at home to Wolves, in front of new owner Todd Boehly.
    And it’s Romelu Lukaku who has got them both – scoring from the spot and grabbing a second just two minutes later.
    You can follow our live blog on the game.
    Boehly baks the Blues
    Chelsea buyer Todd Boehly has been pictured at Stamford Bridge to watch the the Blues take on Wolves, writes GIACOMO PISA.
    The 46-year-old American heads a consortium buying the club in a deal reportedly worth around £4.25billion.

    And he was pictured in the stands as Thomas Tuchel’s side returned to Premier League action.
    The LA Dodgers part-owner donned a pair of aviator shades as he took his seat for the match.
    He cracked a smile as he sat and watched the 3pm kick off against Bruno Lage’s Wolves.
    Midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek had Boehly on his feet applauding on 37 minutes after the Chelsea man bundled home from close range.
    But the goal was disallowed for offside after a VAR check to send Boehly slumping back into his seat.
    Boelhy and his consortium, which includes billionaires Mark Walter, Hansjorg Wyss and investment firm Clearlake Capital, have signed an agreement to buy the club from Roman Abramovich.
    Goal ruled out
    Ruben Loftus-Cheek scores from a scrambled corner but it is given offside.
    VAR decided Loftus-Cheek was off after a Lukaku touch.
    Here come the two teams!
    The players emerge from the tunnel on to a pristine Stamford Bridge pitch. Chelsea are in their traditional royal blue, Wolves in their orange and black strip.
    Kick-off next!
    Follow the game live with our SunSport blog.
    A return to home comforts
    Despite conceding eight goals here in their last three games, Chelsea’s record at Stamford Bridge against today’s opponent will give fans some real hope, writes JOE ADAMS.
    The Blues haven’t lost at home to Wolves since 1979. More importantly, they haven’t conceded on seven of those ten occasions.
    Will it be more of the same this afternoon, or can Wolves break the cycle?
    Neto and Jiminez start for Wolves
    Bruno Lage makes three changes from the team that lost 3-0 to Brighton last time out in the league.
    Jonny comes in to replace Semedo at right-wing back after the Portugese limped off against Brighton.
    In attack, Lage has opted for Jiminez and Neto, with Silva and Hwang both dropping to the bench.
    Wolves XI: Sa, Jonny, Boly, Coady, Saiss, Ait-Nouri, Dendoncker, Neves, Moutinho, Jimenez, Neto.
    Chelsea line up vs Wolves
    Mason Mount and Kai Havertz are on the bench for today’s 3pm kick-off.
    Ruben Loftus-Cheek is in and Romelu Lukaku also starts.

    Barca chiefs inquire over Lukaku
    Barcelona’s transfer committee reportedly recently jetted off to London to discuss a number of deals for Chelsea players – including as shock move for wantaway striker Romelu Lukaku, writes CHISANGA MALATA.
    Barca chiefs are said to be planning a major summer revamp of their squad, which is a whopping 15 points behind bitter rivals Real Madrid.
    And according to Spanish newspaper Sport, Barca’s director of football and technical secretary – Mateu Alemany and Jordi Cruyff – recently travelled to London to lay the foundations for summer transfers for three Blues stars.

    The Catalan giants are said to have made overtures to sign Cesar Azpilcueta – who is out of contract at the end of the season – and fellow defender Marcos Alonso.
    Barca have been tracking the pair for some time but have yet to make an official move for the duo.
    It’s also claimed Alemany and Cruyff held discussions over a big-money move for Chelsea’s £97.5million flop Lukaku.
    The Belgium international has failed to hit the ground running since his spectacular return to Stamford Bridge last summer.
    Cash-strapped Barca, however, would be hard-pressed to pay the striker’s astronomical wages.
    Big money takeover
    Chelsea’s proposed £4.25billion takeover is set to more than DOUBLE the record for the most expensive in sporting history – and it dwarfs the fee paid for rivals Manchester United, writes DAVE FRASER.
    Todd Boehly’s consortium have signed a deal to purchase the club after Roman Abramovich decided to sell up.
    Chelsea confirmed £2.5bn will be deposited into a frozen UK bank account with the intention to donate it all to charitable causes.
    The remaining £1.75bn is for investment into the club including developments of Stamford Bridge and the women’s team.

    Boehly was pictured outside the ground on Friday night with fellow members of his group including ex-chancellor George Osborne.
    However, the mega-deal is not over the line just yet and needs to go through due processes with the Government and the Premier League but is expected to be completed by May 31.
    Wrestle Mania
    It was in the art of grappling where Boehly really showed his mettle, writes JON BOON.
    He led the school’s wrestling team to back-to-back Interstate Athletic Conference Championships in 1990 and 1991.
    And his achievements were so highly thought of at the private college, Landon named their gym the Boehly Family Wrestling Room in his honour.
    Boehly returned to the school in 2014 for the grand opening of the wrestling room, where he was joined by his fellow classmates and wrestlers.
    Super Boehl
    Incoming Chelsea owner Todd Boehly was a college WRESTLING star as a teenager, as his school yearbook photos show, writes JON BOON.
    The billionaire businessman, 46, attended the private Landon School in Maryland, where he excelled at sport as a youngster.
    Boehly is leading the consortium that has agreed to buy  a consortium Chelsea for around £4.25billion – which would be the biggest sports takeover in history.
    Boehly and his team, which includes billionaires Mark Walter, Hansjorg Wyss and investment firm Clearlake Capital, are now set to become the new Chelsea owners by the end of May.

    And Boehly was clearly earmarked for big things as in his school yearbook he was named as one of the ‘Future Leaders of the US’.
    A teenage Boehly juggled a budding athletics career with his studies – starring in both baseball and American football teams.

    The five-time Ballon d’Or winner has been the Red Devils’ shining light with 24 goals and three assists in 38 matches across all competitions.
    Dublin finds it hard to see the forward staying after a disastrous season that saw the team miss out on all trophies and the top four.
    However, the ex-England international also doesn’t know where else the 37-year-old can go.
    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.

    West Ham leading £15m transfer race for Blackburn’s Ben Brereton Diaz but will have to beat Sevilla to get Chile striker

    Brereton notched his 22nd goal of the Championship season against Birmingham on Saturday.
    And that form has seen Chile international, 23, attract the Hammers’ attention as Moyes looks to add more firepower.
    Brereton will cost around £15million but his versatility, playing wide of a three and through the middle, appeals to Moyes.
    But the Scottish boss is facing a lot of competition to land his man.

reminds Man Utd how long he’s been at club in cryptic tweet
    Newcastle have been keen to sign him since the January window, however, United have rejected all offers.
    The 29-year-old has been limited to just 22 appearances this season after falling out-of-favour with Ralf Rangnick.
    Earlier this week, Lingard’s brother described the club as “classless” after the midfielder was not given a proper send off following his final game at Old Trafford.
    Louie Scott said: “20 years of blood sweat and tears, four domestic trophies, three cup final goals, not even a farewell. No wonder it’s Conference League next year.
