Rangnick suggested if he was permanent boss he would let the players decide the captain, as he did while managing in his native Germany.
Incoming gaffer Erik Ten Hag will have a decision to make when he arrives in the summer after Maguire has been subjected to stick for his performances this campaign.
Maguire was made skipper by Ole Gunnar Solskajer just five months after joining the club in 2019 for £80million.
And while there is still the prospect of him continuing on in the position, here SunSport take a look at the potential candidates were he to be replaced.

in Utd XI as Werner STARTS for Blues in Premier League clash
Cristiano Ronaldo
Ronaldo seems like the obvious candidate given his vast experience – and also being captain of Portugal.
But he might not be the best option for the long-term, given his Manchester United deal expires at the end of next season.
Bruno Fernandes
Playmaker Fernandes is also in with a shout if Maguire is stripped of the captaincy.
Unlike Ronaldo the 27-year-old is a long-term prospect, having recently penned a new five-year deal with the club.
Fernandes skippered the side in the absence of Maguire in the 3-1 defeat to Arsenal, and has worn the armband a further five times in the Prem this campaign.

Both Bruno Fernandes and Cristiano Ronaldo are candidates to be Man Utd skipper if Harry Maguire is axedCredit: Reuters
David De Gea
Perhaps the only player whose position is guaranteed in every game, keeper De Gea would offer a calming presence at the back.
It could also be beneficial to have De Gea as skipper as the Spaniard would be able to command the team with a view of the entire pitch in front of him.
Raphael Varane
Varane is a potential candidate, but he has been plagued by injuries in his first season at the club.
And the prospect of handing the armband from one centre-back to another could potentially cause disruptions.
Nevertheless the 29-year-old offers experience, having skippered both Real Madrid and France in the past.
Scott McTominay
The most left-field of the candidates on this list, but there’s no denying McTominay is a born leader.
Whether captaining Manchester United at just 25-years-old is too much of a burden is a possibility, but McTominay does have experience with the armband.
He was stand-in skipper during an FA Cup game against Watford back in January 2021, scoring the only goal of the game during a 1-0 win, proving that being captain didn’t impact his game.

However, they would likely demand a fee between £60million and £70m for his services.
Leao’s former club Lille will be owed a portion of whatever fee Milan receive.
He is believed to be happy at San Siro, and open to penning a new deal.
Leao joined Milan as a teenager back in 2019, steadily growing in confidence and form.

Calvert-Lewin ‘tells friends he wants Arsenal transfer’, Gabriel Jesus ‘AGREES’ Gunners move, £50m Ruben Neves interest
by Philippa Kaur 28 April 2022, 15:39
GABRIEL JESUS has all but agreed to join Arsenal, according to reports.David Ornstein claims that the deal between the Gunners and the Brazilian is “pretty much done and dusted”.
However, he adds that there is yet to be any contact between Arsenal and Man City.
Ornstein states that Dominic Calvert-Lewin is also a target for the North Londoners.
And the Everton star is reported to have told friends he wants a move to the Emirates, whether the Toffees stay up or not.
Ruben Neves and Richarlison have also been linked with Arsenal.
Keep up to date with all of the latest updates from the Emirates in our live blog…
‘jury is still out’ on Arteta
Danny Mills has declared that Mikel Arteta hasn’t done a great job at Arsenal with the jury still out on whether he is the right man for the North Londoners.
The ex-England international has stated there are still question marks over the Gunners, even though the club are sitting in fourth spot.
Speaking to SunSport on behalf of FreeSuperTips, Mills said: “I think the jury is still out on Mikel Arteta.
“He does really well then has two or three bad results which brings questions marks again.
“A lot of it depends on whether they get into the top four and the North London derby will be huge in that race.
“Whether they can hold off Spurs to get into that position. I would say he’s done a decent job, but not a great job.”
Gunners to go again next season
Arsenal will go this season WITHOUT a trophy.
But boss Mikel Arteta will be sure to rally the troops again ahead of next term.
Arsenal’s Okonkwo salutes ‘crazy’ Ramsdale
Rookie Arsenal goalkeeper Arthur Onkonkwo has branded Aaron Ramsdale ‘crazy’, but credited the England international for helping his career.
In an interview with Goal, the 20-year-old stopper spoke about his time spent training with the Gunners first ream, and the impact that senior players have had on his development.
“As soon as Aaron came in, you could see his character and how he presented himself every day,” Okonkwo reveals.
“I have to say, I’ve never met anyone like Aaron before. He’s a little bit crazy, but an amazing guy and he’s a great person to be around.
“Both he and Bernd [Leno] are amazing and I’m so privileged to have worked with them. They are two top keepers.”
United leading race for Osimhen
Manchester United are leading the race to sign Arsenal target Victor Osimhen, according to reports in Italy.
Corriere dello Sport report that Old Trafford officials have already contacted the striker’s agent regarding a summer switch.
A fee of £84million has been quoted for the Nigerian, who has scored 16 goals in 28 Serie A appearances for Napoli this season.
Osimhen still has three years to run on his current deal with the Italian side, having only moved to Naples from Lille for £67million in 2020.
Newcastle are also said to be interested in the striker, and are unlikely to be put off by the hefty price tag.
Fit Saka ready to return
Bukayo Saka will be fit to face West Ham at the weekend after shaking off the thigh strain that saw him substituted in the win over Manchester United.
The England international was withdrawn in the 74th minute of Saturday’s success, having netted another penalty to help the Gunners on their way to three points.
However, Saka has trained with the rest of the first team this week, and the Evening Standard understands that there are no concerns about his availability for Sunday’s London derby.
Gunners face competition for Neves
Ruben Neves is edging closer to his Wolverhampton Wanderers exit, but Arsenal are not the only club waiting to greet him.
The Portuguese midfielder is now being targeted by a number of other clubs, according to 90min,
with Manchester United, Tottenham, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid all keeping an eye on developments.
The Gunners have long been linked with the Wolves star that arrived at Molineux in 2017, and helped fire the Black Country club to the Premier League.
Mikel Arteta views the 25-year-old as an ideal replacement for Granit Xhaka, who is expected to join Roma in the summer.
Arsenal target Tammy happy in Rome
Another striker on Mikel Arteta’s summer shopping list is Tammy Abraham, but the Roma hitman has insisted that he’s happy in Italy.
Abraham has been a revelation since moving to the Italian capital from Chelsea in August, scoring 24 goals in 46 appearances in all competitions.
And yesterday he struck a blow to those clubs hoping to tempt the 24-year-old back to England.
Speaking ahead of Roma’s Europa Conference League semi-final with Leicester, Abraham admitted that playing his football at the Stadio Olimpico was a ‘dream come true’.
“For me to be doing what I’m doing now for a great club like Roma, I can’t really describe the feeling,’ Abraham said.
“Coming off the back of a difficult season at Chelsea where I wasn’t really playing games, coming here and shining, it’s like a dream come true for me.
“I’m happy playing my football. Of course, you hear the little rumours here and there, different people interested, clearly for me I’m doing the right thing if people are watching.”
DCL wants summer Arsenal move
Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin has reportedly snubbed Newcastle – and instead wants to join Arsenal.
According to the Football Insider, the 25-year-old has told those close to him that he favours a move to the Gunners in the summer whether the Toffees manage to stay in the Premier League or not.
Mikel Arteta has made a lone striker a priority for when the transfer window reopens, and Calvert-Lewin may just fit the bill.
The England international has struggled with injuries this term, scoring just three goals that include two penalties.
However, the Londoners are confident that they can get Calvert-Lewin firing again – especially if they can get him at a knockdown price if Everton fail to beat the drop.
The forward still has two years to run on his current deal at Goodison Park, and it’s unknown as to whether it includes any relegation clause.
Gunners planning Pepe showdown talks
Mikel Arteta will sit down with with £72million flop Nicolas Pepe at the end of the season to discuss his Arsenal future, according to the Evening Standard.
The Ivorian has flattered to deceive since arriving from Lille three years ago, and now finds himself down the pecking order at the Emirates.
The winger hasn’t started a Premier League game since playing 90 minutes against Crystal Palace in October, and has often been overlooked for Gabriel Martinelli and Emile Smith Rowe.
Pepe still has two more years to run on his Arsenal contract, but both player and club may consider a move away in their best interest.
Good morning Arsenal fans
Wolves are ‘resigned to losing’ star man Ruben Neves.
The news comes as a boost to both Manchester United and Arsenal, who have expressed an interest in the midfielder.
According to the Manchester Evening News, Wolves are sounding out potential replacements for the 25-year-old.
Lille are prepared to sell Arsenal transfer target Jonathan David this summer.
According to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, David is one of “some players” last year’s Ligue 1 champions are willing to part with.
He could be picked up for under £50million.
Arsenal legend Ray Parlour has recommended his former club sign Brentford’s Ivan Toney to bolster their striker department.
Toney has had a strong season with the Bees, netting 12 goals in the Premier League.
He told talkSPORT: “The strikers they’ll be looking at, they’ll also be looking at the other clubs interested in those strikers.
“You don’t want to be getting into bidding wars.
“How many clubs will be after Toney, if he’s available?
“That’s the sort of striker I would be trying to get at Arsenal.”
And finally, Arsenal are reportedly set to explore the possibility of including Pablo Mari in a player-swap deal for Udinese right-back Nahuel Molina.
The Gunners centre-back is currently on loan at the Serie A outfit after linking up with the Italian side during the winter transfer window.
He has become a key player under caretaker boss Gabriele Cioffi, with the defender featuring in 11 top-flight matches.
Arteta set to add
Boss Mikel Arteta could look to add more faces to the dressing room with the Gunners’ return to European football looking likely.
Next Arsenal captain?
Arsenal are yet to name their next permanent club captain after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s departure.
Alexandre Lacazette has taken the armband for now, but his contract is up this summer.
Kieran Tierney and Martin Odegaard are two of the favourites to take up the gig.
Wolves ‘resigned to losing’ Neves
Wolves are ‘resigned to losing’ star man Ruben Neves.
The news comes as a boost to both Manchester United and Arsenal, who have expressed an interest in the midfielder.
According to the Manchester Evening News, Wolves are sounding out potential replacements for the 25-year-old.
Any interested club may have to fork out upwards of £50million for Neves.
Hammers up next
Arsenal take on West Ham at the London Stadium on Sunday.
UCL spot could be decided by incredible PLAY-OFF
The Premier League could have play-offs for the title AND the last Champions League spot next month.
League rules allow for a play-off for key spots if teams are locked together on points, goal difference, goals scored and the head to head results.
So far, that has never happened in the history of the competition.
But with just five matches left, it is still possible that Liverpool and Manchester City could face off in the ultimate title showdown.
And Spurs and Arsenal could also duke it out over 90 minutes for the right to play in Europe’s elite competition next term.
Granit Xhaka: Premier League stats so far
Midfielder Granit Xhaka has been an important player for Arsenal this season.
He has formed a strong partnership with Thomas Partey.
Lille prepared to sell David
Lille are prepared to sell Arsenal transfer target Jonathan David this summer.
According to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, David is one of “some players” last year’s Ligue 1 champions are willing to part with.
He could be picked up for under £50million.
Nketiah praises Gunners’ academy
Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah has hailed the academy in a recent Q&A.
It’s time for a Cannon Members Q&A with Rob Holding and Eddie Nketiah…🎙 “Playing in the academy?” 🎙 “Who did you first look up to?” 🎙 “Score in the NLD or a cup final?”Smashed it, @JuniorGunners 💪— Arsenal (@Arsenal) April 27, 2022
Toney’s Premier League stats
Ivan Toney has 12 Premier League goals to his name this term.
Do you agree with Parlour?
Parlour says Arsenal should go for Toney
Arsenal legend Ray Parlour has recommended his former club sign Brentford’s Ivan Toney to bolster their striker department.
Toney has had a strong season with the Bees, netting 12 goals in the Premier League.
He has more goals than Alexandre Lacazette, Eddie Nketiah and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang combined this term.
Aubameyang departed the club in January with four Prem goals to his name, leaving boss Mikel Arteta with just four-goal Lacazette and Chelsea brace hero Nketiah to work with.
He told talkSPORT: “The strikers they’ll be looking at, they’ll also be looking at the other clubs interested in those strikers.
“You don’t want to be getting into bidding wars.
“How many clubs will be after Toney, if he’s available?
“That’s the sort of striker I would be trying to get at Arsenal.”
‘Emery is a top manager’ – Enrique
Villarreal defender Jose Enrique has argued that Arsenal were “not patient enough” with Unai Emery.
When speaking to LordPing, he said: “I love Unai Emery. He lives the game, he’s a tactical manager who really studies the game and I know because I see the games and I know players that have played under him in the past and they play under him now.
“They tell me how it is and I believe Arsenal were not patient enough with him.
“Arteta didn’t start the year well, but he won the FA Cup in his first year and Arsenal put their trust in him, gave him the budget and the players that he wanted, and then he delivered.
“People work really hard for the team and he’s proof that he’s a top manager. ”

‘Looney Tunes defending’
Man Utd stars Jadon Sancho and Alex Telles were brutally mocked for trying to mark Arsenal ace Eddie Nketiah.
The United pair tried in vain to block Nketiah in Arsenal’s 3-1 over Manchester United on Saturday.
The hapless duo attempted to sandwich the Arsenal striker during the Premier League clash.
Sancho inched in from the left, and Telles encroached on Nketiah from the right.
But when the sharp Nketiah realised what was going on – he simply side-stepped the United stars’ trap.
Sancho and Telles were left looking bemused as the 22-year-old left them in his dust.
Strike a deal
Ray Parlour has urged Arsenal to try and sign Ivan Toney in the summer transfer window.
When speaking on TalkSPORT, he said: “The strikers they’ll be looking at, they’ll also be looking at the other clubs interested in those strikers.
“You don’t want to be getting into bidding wars. How many clubs will be after Toney, if he’s available?
“That’s the sort of striker I would be trying to get at Arsenal.”
‘He gets you goals’ – Ferdinand
Rio Ferdinand has said that Gabriel Jesus could have a significant impact if he joins Arsenal this summer.
When speaking on his FIVE YouTube channel, he said: “You speak to players about him, they appreciate him because he puts a good workload in, he has got quality.
“I think if he plays consistently in a team like Arsenal, I think he gets you goals.”
Taking the Mik
Footage shows Mikel Arteta sympathised with Cristiano Ronaldo as the striker complained to the fourth official during Manchester United’s 3-1 loss to Arsenal last Saturday.
Ronaldo, 37, was frustrated with the officials failing to award his side a penalty when Jadon Sancho went down in the box under a challenge from Cedric Soares.
So when Arsenal were instead awarded a penalty moments later Ronaldo rushed over to the sideline to question the officials’ decision-making.
But the Portuguese realised he was fighting a losing battle with Arsenal’s bench camera showing the striker graciously accepting Arteta’s offer of a handshake.

Victor Osimhen has nothing blocking Man Utd transfer after snubbing 2020 move out of respect for Odion Ighalo
by Philippa Kaur 28 April 2022, 15:37
VICTOR OSIMHEN no longer has Odion Ighalo standing in his way of a move to Manchester United. The Red Devils reportedly launched an £84million bid for the Napoli striker today.

Osimhen turned down the chance to join Manchester United in 2020 because of Odion IghaloCredit: PA
But it’s not the first time United have been linked with a swoop for the 23-year-old.
Back in the summer of 2020 Osimhen snubbed a move to Old Trafford because of Nigerian team-mate Ighalo.
Osimhen instead joined Napoli from Lille out of respect for Ighalo, who spent a year on loan at United between 2020 and 2021.
Now though with Ighalo gone, there’s nothing standing in the way of Osimhen’s big money move to the Red Devils.

Neves’ agency ‘invites Man Utd bid’, Milinkovic-Savic ‘in talks’
Osimhen’s brother Andrew revealed in 2020 he turned down a move to the Red Devils as he had “too much respect” for national tem colleague Ighalo.
Andrew told Complete Sports: “It is very true that Manchester United wanted Victor but he told me something like he had too much respect for Odion Ighalo to be competing for shirts with his senior colleague.
“My brother holds Ighalo in high esteem and he just didn’t see himself going to Old Trafford to battle for a striking role with the highest goalscorer at the 2019 AFCON in Egypt.”
Now United have rekindled their interest in the prolific Osimhen, the striker could be tempted by the prospect of a move to Manchester with Ighalo no longer at the club.

Mino Raiola latest news: Super-agent ‘critically ill’ in Milan hospital as his Twitter furiously denies death reports
by Philippa Kaur 28 April 2022, 15:34
MINO RAIOLA has denied reports of his death on social media.The Italian super-agent tweeted: “Current health status for the ones wondering: p***** off second time in 4 months they kill me. Seem also able to ressuscitate.”
However, reports suggest that Raiola remains “critically ill” in hospital in Milan.
The Italian represents some of football’s biggest names, including Erling Haaland, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Paul Pogba.
Ex-right-back Johnson on Pogba
Former Chelsea and Liverpool right-back Glen Johnson has said that Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba, whose agent is Mino Raiola, doesn’t have “the character to suit either Liverpool or Chelsea.”
The Frenchman is out of contract this summer and can leave United for free.
On Pogba, Johnson told GGRecon: “I wouldn’t go for him.
“He’s a sensational individual and he’s won most of the things you can win in football but I don’t believe he has the character to suit either Liverpool or Chelsea.
“There’s no way Jurgen Klopp would sign him. No chance.”
Raiola’s health misreported again
Mino Raiola’s tweet this afternoon that for the ‘second time in four months they [social media] kill me’ refers to an episode that occurred in January.
At the start of the year, the agent was admitted to hospital where he underwent medical checks that required anaesthesia.
However, that story quickly spiralled across social networks, and it was soon being inaccurately reported that Raiola had needed emergency surgery.
Could Raiola wreck United plans?
Manchester United managers have not enjoyed the most positive of relationships with Mino Raiola over the years, and Erik ten Hag could become the latest to have his plans thwarted by the super agent.
Ten Hag will arrive from Ajax in the summer and hopes to bring young midfielder Ryan Gravenberch with him as he begins his overhaul of the flailing Red Devils.
However, the 19-year-old Dutch international’s agent is none other than Raiola, who has been meeting with representatives of Bayern Munich over a move for his client to the Bundesliga.
While frustrating many managers, board members and fans, Raiola has built an impressive reputation for putting his players first, and doing all he can to get them the best deals possible.
Did Haaland meet with Mino?
Mino Raiola is agent to some of football’s biggest superstars, two of whom are central to the biggest transfer stories currently gripping the game.
While Paul Pogba looks destined to move to Paris Saint-Germain, the destination of another of Raiola’s clients – Erling Haaland – has been subject to months of speculation.
And supposedly, the Norwegian ace flew out to meet with his agent in Monaco at the weekend regarding a mega-money deal with Manchester City.
With Raiola now in critical condition in Milan, it raises question as to whether the meeting actually took place.
Romano reports on doctor’s outrage
Fabrizio Romano has followed up Mino Raiola’s tweet regarding the agent’s supposed death by quoting one of the doctors at the San Raffaele Hospital in Milan where he is currently being treated.
Dr. Alberto Zangrillo reportedly told Ansa: “I’m outraged by the phone calls from pseudo-journalists speculating on the life of a man who is fighting to survive”.
Fabregas asks for Raiola respect
An upset Cesc Fabregas has responded to the false reports of Mino Raiola’s death within social and mainstream media by demanding thoughtfulness.
The former Chelsea and Arsenal star quote tweeted the original source of the inaccurate story, the Italian journalist Tancredi Palmeri and his now-deleted tweet.
Fabregas said” Please remember that this man have a family. I’ve known his son for a few years and this news are false.
“Please let’s have some respect, not everything is allowed.”
An update from Mino Raiola
Contrary to earlier reports, Mino Raiola is not dead.
However, the agent is supposedly very ill and in a critical condition in a hospital in Milan.
Moments ago, the following tweet was posted from the agent’s account, appearing to mock reports of his death by social media for the second time in four months.
Current health status for the ones wondering: pissed off second time in 4 months they kill me. Seem also able to ressuscitate.— Mino Raiola (@MinoRaiola) April 28, 2022

by Philippa Kaur 28 April 2022, 15:33
MANCHESTER UNITED are looking to keep their remote chances of Champions League football alive.But work is already going on off the pitch to get the club ready for the arrival of Erik ten Hag.
Midfield targets are a particular focus with Paul Pogba set to leave the club this summer.
According to the Italian press, the Red Devils are in talks with Sergej Milinkovic-Savic’s representatives and seen as frontrunners to sign the Lazio man.
And Ruben Neves’ representatives are said to be “inviting” the club to make a bid for the Wolves star.
Kalvin Phillips of Leeds is another reported target, who could make a move across the Pennines for a fee of £50m.

‘I’m not dead’
Football super-agent Mino Raiola has been forced to deny claims he has DIED with an angry tweet.
Italian media wrongly claimed the world’s biggest football agent, 54, had passed away, which was then reported by the world’s press.
Real Madrid even paid their condolences after the fake reports emerged.
But the man himself has denied this from his hospital bed.
Raiola tweeted: “Current health status for the ones wondering: p***d off second time in 4 months they kill me.
“Seem also able to resuscitate.”
It is believed Raiola has been suffering with a lung condition, according to German outlet Bild.
The Italian looks after the likes of Manchester United’s Paul Pogba, Borussia Dortmund star Erling Haaland and the legendary Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

United hit by UEFA fine
Manchester United have been handed a €10,000 fine following incidents that marred their Champions League home defeat to Atletico Madrid last month.
Atletico manager Diego Simeone was the target of several missiles thrown from the crowd at the end of a bad-tempered Last 16 tie at Old Trafford.
The UEFA’s Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body announced that the fine had been handed out for the ‘throwing of objects’ although didn’t reference the Argentine coach directly.
Welcome Manchester United fans
Manchester United are facing an injury crisis as they prepare to host Chelsea at Old Trafford this evening.
Ralf Rangnick revealed that he would be without EIGHT first team players for the Premier League fixture that United must surely win to keep their dwindling hopes of a top-four finish alive.
Behind-the-scenes, officials have begun working on a number of summer transfer targets – and they include Leeds midfielder Kalvin Phillips.
The England international has previously indicated that he would never join Manchester United, but the Red Devils are hoping to make the player an offer he can’t refuse.
And United could splash the cash again when it comes striker Victor Osimhen.
Rumours in Italy state that an £84million offer is being submitted to Napoli for the free-scoring Nigerian.
Meanwhile, Rangnick has rubbished reports that he compiled a dossier for the United board labelling his players ‘selfish’ and ‘unprofessional’.
The interim boss insists that would always protect his players, and his only current concern is helping incoming manager Erik ten Hag to build a squad capable of challenging for titles.

by Philippa Kaur 28 April 2022, 15:33
ANTONIO RUDIGER is set to join Real Madrid this summer, with boss Thomas Tuchel confirming he will leave Chelsea.But in better news, Tuchel himself has confirmed that he is going nowhere and is already looking forward to pre-season.
Meanwhile Chelsea are stepping up their pursuit of Sevilla’s Jules Kounde.
Chelsea are also said to be negotiating with Ajax over a potential deal for Brazilian winger Antony.
And the next owners of the Blues must guarantee that they will stay in charge of the club for a minimum of TEN years.
Keep up to date with all of the latest gossip from the takeover in our live blog…

Ex-right-back Johnson on Pogba
Former Chelsea and Liverpool right-back Glen Johnson has said that Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba doesn’t have “the character to suit either Liverpool or Chelsea.”
The Frenchman is out of contract this summer and can leave United for free.
On Pogba, Johnson told GGRecon: “I wouldn’t go for him.
“He’s a sensational individual and he’s won most of the things you can win in football but I don’t believe he has the character to suit either Liverpool or Chelsea.
“There’s no way Jurgen Klopp would sign him. No chance.”
Years of Abramovich spending
Here’s a breakdown of how much Roman Abramovich spent during his time as owner of Chelsea.
Bidders told to up offers
The three prospective owners of Chelsea have been asked to increase their offers by £500million by outgoing billionaire Roman Abramovich.
Martin Kleinman at Sky News reports that the Russian owner is demanding the additional money to help augment a £1billion charitable donation to be made upon the sale of the football club.
The increase in price effectively guarantees ‘a minimum headline price for the club of £2.5billion.’
Those heading each of the consortia still involved in the process are said to have reacted positively to the request.
The preferred bidder selected by Raine Group is expected to be announced by the end of this week.
Gimenez added to wanted list
Another hour, another new centre-back linked with a move to Stamford Bridge.
This time it’s Atletico Madrid’s Jose Gimenez that Chelsea scouts are watching as the Londoners plan for life after Rudiger and Christensen.
The Uruguayan defender has clocked up 245 appearances for Atleti since moving to Spain in 230.
An international with 76 caps to his name, Gimenez is comfortable with the ball at his feet, and a fully focused man-marker.
Mount revelling on the road
With their forwards misfiring once again, Chelsea will be looking towards Mason Mount to make the different at Old Trafford this evening.
And the England international rarely disappoints on the road, having played some of his best football this season away from Stamford Bridge.
Mount has been directly involved in ten goals in his 14 away appearances this season, scoring five himself and laying on another five assists for his teammates.
Only Mo Salah (18), Harry Kane (13) and James Ward-Prowse (11) have more combined goals and assists in Premier League away games this term.
Chelsea also chasing Barca’s Kimpembe
Thomas Tuchel and Chelsea’s scouting team have made reinforcements at centre-half a priority for when new owners take over at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues expect to lose Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen this summer – and there’s the possibility that Cesar Azpilicueta also departs the club via the exit door.
Without new signings, those departures would leave the Londoners short in central defence, and having to rely on a 38-year-old Thiago Silva.
Sevilla’s Jules Kounde has already been sounded out by Chelsea officials, and now Goal see Paris Saint-Germain’s Presnel Kimpembe as another option.
Kimpembe has spent his entire career at PSG, but would be tempted by the challenge of the Premier League should his former boss come calling.
Thursday night’s alright for rivals
Manchester United and Chelsea once again do battle this evening but will do so for the very first time on a Thursday.
The rescheduling of this clash means that it will become the 13th different Premier League fixture to have been played on all seven days of the week.
It’s a novelty for the Blues with United set to become the first club that they have faced on each day.
The Red Devils, meanwhile, have previously faced Aston Villa, Liverpool and Newcastle on Monday – Sunday.
Chelsea only require ‘cosmetic surgery’
Thomas Tuchel does not expect Chelsea’s new owners to splash the cash this summer, and instead insists that the squad are only in need of some ‘cosmetic surgery’.
The German coach says a testing close-season awaits in rebuilding the club, but insists he is sticking around and is relishing the challenge.
Asked what treatment the Blues require to move forward, Tuchel chuckled and replied: “Cosmetic surgery. I would be less concerned if we had still the same ownership, but as this is also in question, we are aware of the danger of a situation that is maybe a bit more complex.”
He added: ‘It is demanding enough nowadays in football to lose this kind of quality in a back three, and to lose two key players for free.
“It could be a very, very demanding summer.”
Tuchel hopeful of trio return
Chelsea travel to Manchester United this evening, hoping to cement third place in the Premier League – and another shot at the Champions League next year.
The Blues can move eight points clear of Arsenal in fourth with a win, and further add to United’s miserable form in the process.
Thomas Tuchel’s team have put in concerning performances themselves of late, but the German coach hopes he will have three key defenders back in the squad to help improve his struggling backline.
“[Antonio] Rudiger was in training yesterday, and it’s the same for Reece James,” Tuchel said at his pre-match press conference yesterday.
“Hopefully they can do the full training session today and give us a green light. We have hopes that they can be in the squad to play tomorrow.”
“It’s the same for Andreas [Christensen]. We will need another examination because he felt sick, but he will come back to the training ground today.”
Christensen and Rudiger are expected to depart Stamford Bridge while James has been linked with a move to Real Madrid.
Good morning Chelsea fans
Chelsea are confident they can sign Sevilla defender Jules Kounde in the summer.
According to 90min, there is a mutual determination for the transfer to be completed.
The Blues are also keeping tabs on Arminia Bielefeld centre-back Amos Pieper, according to reports.
Pieper, 24, has impressed in the Bundesliga this season despite Arminia heading for relegation.
Finally, Chelsea players believe the sanctions placed on them by the government are costing them and could force Thomas Tuchel to quit, say reports.
Boss Tuchel claimed the club have been left with their “hands tied” as Antonio Rudiger is set to leave.
And the Times report the squad “fear” the complications could “push” Tuchel out the club too.
Rom’s top of the earners list
Summer flop Romelu Lukaku is Chelsea’s biggest earner.
The Belgian forward picks up an eye-watering £325,000-a-week at the Blues.
He could, however, already be heading for the exit door.
New owner yet to be found
A new Chelsea owner is yet to be found.
Here’s a look at Roman Abramovich’s spending numbers.
Chelsea confident on Kounde
Chelsea are confident they can sign Sevilla defender Jules Kounde in the summer.
According to 90min, there is a mutual determination for the transfer to be completed.
The Blues actively tried to sign Kounde last summer but were reportedly “blindsided” by a last minute increase in demands by Sevilla.
Jorginho on Drogba
Chelsea midfielder has revealed “it would be nice” if he could have played with the great Didier Drogba.
The retired striker had so many memorable moments while playing for the Blues.
Drogba scored the equaliser and winning penalty in Chelsea’s first Champions League trophy win in 2012.
On Drogba, Jorginho said: “What a player. What a striker.
“It would be nice if I could have played with him. It wouldn’t be bad to have his movements as a striker.”
Mason Mount: Premier League stats so far
Will Chelsea’s Mason Mount reach double figures in goals and assists this season in the league?
‘Antonio Rudiger… who is this?’
Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti gave absolutely nothing away after he was quizzed about signing Chelsea star Antonio Rudiger.
The legendary Italian boss was speaking after a thrilling Champions League semi-final first leg tie away at Manchester City.
Although Real Madrid lost the game, at 4-3 down heading to the Bernabeu there is still everything to play for.
Rudiger, meanwhile, has told Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel he will leave the Londoners at the end of the season on a free transfer.
Real Madrid have emerged as the frontrunners to snap up the centre-half in what would be a big coup.
But after being asked about Rudiger following the defeat at the Etihad, Ancelotti went all coy.
He answered: “Antonio Rudiger, who is this?
“He is a Chelsea player until… he is still a Chelsea player, and I cannot say anything about this.”
Ball-carrying midfielder
Declan Rice is the leader in progressive yards carried outside of England’s “big six”.
The England midfielder has carried the ball over 6,000 yards.
Newcastle’s Allan Saint-Maximin is behind on 4,663.
If the “Big Six” were included, Rice would be behind Aymeric Laporte, Ruben Dias and Joel Matip.
Rice is a summer transfer target for both Chelsea and Man Utd.
Pie Eyed
In case you missed it.
Chelsea are keeping tabs on Arminia Bielefeld centre-back Amos Pieper, according to reports.
Pieper, 24, has impressed in the Bundesliga this season despite Arminia heading for relegation.
The defender is available on a free in the summer and the Blues have asked to be kept in the loop in regard to his availability, report The Mirror.
There are several other clubs interested in Pieper, including Borussia Dortmund – with Pieper previously playing for the club’s academy.
Premier League pair Newcastle and Southampton are also said to be interested in the German and Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side are keen to strike a bargain.
Chelsea stars fear Tuchel could be forced to QUIT
Chelsea players believe the sanctions placed on them by the government are costing them and could force Thomas Tuchel to quit, say reports.
Boss Tuchel claimed the club have been left with their “hands tied” as Antonio Rudiger is set to leave.
Rudiger, 29, is due to bank almost £60million with his mega move to Real Madrid.
And the Times report the squad “fear” the complications could “push” Tuchel out the club too.
The Stamford Bridge dressing room are concerned they are “powerless” as they wait for sanctions and this could harm the squad.
How Man Utd could line up against Chelsea
Ralf Rangnick is in the midst of an injury crisis at Manchester United and currently has just 14 senior players fit for action.
The interim boss is down to the bare bones of his squad after confirming skipper Harry Maguire is not available for tomorrow’s clash against Chelsea.
Maguire, who was benched for the trip to Arsenal, is sidelined with a “niggle” in his knee but there are fears he could be out for the season.
Elsewhere Jadon Sancho misses out through illness, while Fred has not recovered from a hip flexor problem in time to feature.
Paul Pogba, Luke Shaw, Edinson Cavani are all also set to miss out, and Aaron Wan-Bissaka is a doubt with an unspecified issue.
Tuchel to stay at Chelsea
Thomas Tuchel has confirmed that will stay at Chelsea next season.
There has been some speculation recently around the idea of the 48-year-old leaving due to the sanctions placed on the club by the UK Government.
However, when speaking to Adam Newson for Football.London, he said: “From pre-season next season we will give our very best and I will be fully involved with all my heart and my knowledge.”
Tuchel on Ruben Loftus-Cheek
During today’s press conference, Thomas Tuchel was asked about the impact of Loftus-Cheek.
He said: “He needs to push himself to the limit. He had a bit of shy game like everybody else against Arsenal and not such a good half against Crystal Palace but stepped up in the second half in dribbling and ball recoveries and suddenly the crowd was there.
“In general he is a shy and calm person but he needs to discover the monster in him and unleash this on a regular basis. It is necessary.
“It is not enough to just be on the pitch, it might seem a good first step given his last years but we cannot let him think that is enough.
“We try every day and I think we are successful given his development.
“He needs to understand his potential and his physical capacity every day in training, he cannot let loose. He needs to play every match like a final.”

Tuchel on tomorrow’s trip to Old Trafford
During today’s press conference, Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel said: “I’m personally very happy to play against Manchester United at Old Trafford.
“I arrive with a strong club. I’m happy to have this match and it will always be a big match for me no matter what form they are in.
“That’s why we prepare in the best possible way. We focus on their last matches, we should not get confused by their lack of points, their squad is full of quality.”
‘He loves responsibility’ – Tuchel
Thomas Tuchel has reflected on Antonio Rudiger’s upcoming departure from Chelsea, stating that the team are sad to see him go.
He said: “I don’t think anybody likes it. He gives everybody confidence in the dressing room.
“He is a unique character and plays on an outstanding level. He sometimes takes the focus towards him, he loves responsibility.
“I don’t think anybody likes this decision but we have to accept it. Like it or not there will be life at Chelsea after Toni.
“It is also the most important thing for us that it ends like it started, on the highest level.”

Chelsea team news vs Man Utd
Thomas Tuchel has confirmed that Mateo Kovacic, Ben Chilwell, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Ross Barkley will all be absent from the Chelsea squad ahead of tomorrow’s game against Man Utd.
In his pre-match press conference, he said: “Kova will be out, Ben Chilwell will be out and Callum will be out.
“Rudiger was in training yesterday, so was Reece James, we have another training coming and hopefully they will be fine.
“Andreas needs another examination, but hopefully he will train.
“Ross Barkley is sick and will not be in the squad.”

And his arrival at Turf Moor may attract some much-needed talent to the club.
The 36-year-old could raid Manchester United for forgotten man Phil Jones and unsettled keeper Dean Henderson.
Jones has only made two starts for the Red Devils in two years, and his experience will be imperative to Burnley’s back four.
While disgruntled stopper Henderson has made no secret of his desire to quit Old Trafford in the pursuit of first-team football.

The Clarets have let in 55 league goals this term, and a pair of safe hands like Henderson’s will help them reduce that amount next season.
Jones along with James Tarkowski would cover Henderson at the heart of the Burnley’s defence.
Rooney could also bring Ravel Morrison from Derby with him to Burnley.
The ex-England striker brought his former United pal in from football’s wilderness last summer.
Morisson repaid Rooney’s faith with four goals and three assists this season.
The 29-year-old will inject some venom into an attacking midfield alongside Jay Rodriguez, Josh McNeil and Josh Brownhill at Burnley.
Rooney may also decide to raid former club Everton if they get relegated from the Prem.
The Toffees may have to offload up-to SEVEN stars if they fail to beat the drop.
