Euro 2020: Manchester United skipper boosts England squad
Manchester United defender, Harry Maguire, was in England training ahead of their Euros kickoff. And Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson was also seen sprinting at the Three Lions base in a major boost for boss Gareth Southgate, reports the Sun. Both had injury doubts hanging over them heading into the tournament. It’s too early to tell whether either man could feature in Sunday’s opener against Croatia at Wembley. But seeing two senior men and leaders back among the rest of the group is a shot in the arm for Southgate.

Another Manchester United bid rejected as La Liga club push back on initial offer
Manchester United’s initial £12 million bid for Kieran Trippier was knocked back by Atletico Madrid, but the Red Devils remain confident of getting the deal over the line this summer. United are keen on adding the English right-back to their squad, but their first attempt to strike a deal with Atletico came a cropper, per Spanish publication AS. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants to have an attack-minded right-back to compete with Aaron Wan-Bissaka for a place in the Red Devils starting line-up. The former Crystal Palace defender has been impressive with his tackling and ball-winning ability but has often failed to deliver in the attacking third. It is also reported that the Old Trafford chiefs are preparing another assault, but their hopes of closing the deal with Atletico hinge on Trippier’s pre...

£60m-rated star ‘expects to stay’ at Manchester United next season – report
David de Gea expects to stay with Manchester United next season and believes he will be the first-choice goalkeeper, The Sun reports. The Spaniard had a mixed 2020/21 campaign with the Red Devils where he shared his playing time alongside Dean Henderson. De Gea was the regular for most of the campaign, but Henderson got the chance to impress when the former took parental leave. Between March and May, Henderson preferred in goal for the league games, but De Gea was still picked ahead of him for the Europa League final. It is now reported that De Gea is confident of staying with the Red Devils and believes he will be the regular between the sticks next season. Sportslens view: The Red Devils are likely to sign Tom Heaton on a free transfer when his contract with Aston Villa expires at the en...
Manchester United ready to listen to offers for Dean Henderson
Manchester United are willing to listen to offers for goalkeeper Dean Henderson amid concerns over his attitude, Football Insider claims. The England international started last season as the back-up goalkeeper behind David de Gea, but he became a regular during the back end of the campaign. Despite this, he was ignored for the Europa League final against Villarreal. The club lost via a penalty shoot-out, with De Gea failing to save any of the 11 spot-kicks. Ahead of next season, the club are planning a radical overhaul of the goalkeeping department, and they have already released Sergio Romero and Joel Pereira. The club are also open to offers for Henderson and De Gea but acknowledge that they may struggle to offload the latter due to his hefty £350,000-a-week wages. Henderson is said to b...
Manchester United fail with opening bid for Arsenal target with 28 international caps – report
Atletico Madrid have turned down an opening bid from Manchester United for defender Kieran Trippier, Football Insider reports. The England international has been with the La Liga giants for the past two years and played his part in the club’s league title success last term. He has two years remaining on his contract, but there has been speculation that United are keen to lure him back to the Premier League. They recently made an opening bid of £10 million for the right-back, which was turned down. Trippier is reportedly open to returning home. Sportslens view: United were eager to land Trippier’s signature in January, but they cooled their interest after FIFA imposed an eight-week ban on him. They have now revived their interest, with manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wanting adequate comp...

Premier League’s ‘Big 6’ agree punishments over European Super League fiasco
The Premier League’s ‘Big Six’ have agreed to pay a fine following the European Super League drama back in April. On April 18, it was announced that 12 of Europe’s top clubs had agreed to break away from UEFA and form a new league, known as the European Super League. Manchester United, Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, and Arsenal all joined from England, as well as three each from Spain and Italy. The response to the announcement was intense. Players and managers spoke out against the idea, while fans protested at grounds. Some of football’s governing bodies, such as UEFA and the FA, threatened punishments for those who participated in the plan. The proposal lasted two days, before clubs buckled under the pressure. Chelsea were the first to back out, and the other five Engl...
West Ham to step up interest in £30m-rated star with 14 goal contributions last season – report
West Ham United are ready to step up their interest in re-signing Manchester United forward Jesse Lingard following his Euro 2020 heartbreak, The Sun reports. The England international had a superb loan stint with the Hammers during the second half of the season, registering nine goals and five assists from 16 games. His efforts helped the club qualify for the Europa League group stage for the first-time ever, but he still did not make the cut for the Euro 2020 squad. His absence from the tournament has offered the Hammers the opportunity to negotiate a permanent deal with the Red Devils in the coming weeks. Sportslens view: Lingard’s career was on an evident slump with the Red Devils before he made the temporary switch to the Hammers at the turn of the year. The move has helped him build ...
Report: Manchester stars lead La Liga rivals in player transfer values
The latest CIES Football Observatory report has been released, revealing the highest estimated transfer values of players in Europe’s top five leagues. The list is dominated by English players, with three Englishmen topping the charts and another four inside the top 20. The Premier League is also very heavily represented, with 12 players inside the top 20 and 43 in the top 100. There are 21 from La Liga, 15 from the Bundesliga, 14 from Serie A, and seven from Ligue 1. Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe ranks 12th, much lower than many would expect. The Frenchman has been given a value of €118.3 million. This will be largely because he has a year left on his current contract, but he could probably command a higher fee this summer. Harry Kane is another who is lower down than expected, w...
Marcus Rashford penalty gives England win over Romania in Euro warm-up
Marcus Rashford’s penalty earned England an unconvincing 1-0 win over Romania in their final warm-up friendly ahead of Euro 2020 in Middlesbrough on Sunday. However, victory for Gareth Southgate’s men was again overshadowed by booing from supporters as the players took the knee before kick-off. Southgate’s selection will also be questioned as he named an experimental line-up with five players who are not part of his final squad making an appearance at some point in the game. There is still one place up for grabs in Southgate’s 26-man squad, though, due to an injury to Trent Alexander-Arnold. James Ward-Prowse, Ben Godfrey and Ben White were all given the chance to further their case from the start, while Jesse Lingard and Ollie Watkins came off the bench in the second-half. An inexperience...
Manchester United preparing £39 million bid for Atalanta defender
Manchester United are set to bid £39million for Atalanta defender Cristian Romero. Atalanta are reportedly planning to make Romero’s loan from Juventus permanent for £21.5m before cashing in on his services. But according to Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport, Atalanta will take up an option in the 23-year-old’s loan deal to sign him permanently. The fee is believed to be £21.5m – but some rumours suggest it could be as low as £13.75m. Reports claim the Serie A side will then look to sell Romero for €45m – around £39m – and make a huge profit. And Man United are said to be leading the race for the Argentina international’s signature. Romero has been one of Atalanta’s best players this term, making 31 Serie A appearances to help them finish third and qualify for next season’s Champio...
