Manchester United and Chelsea interested in £54m-rated Serie A forward
Manchester United and Chelsea are among the clubs looking at the prospect of signing Juventus forward Paulo Dybala this summer, Tuttosport claims. Dybala has had an injury-plagued season with the Bianconeri, registering just 18 appearances for the club in all competitions. His current deal expires in less than 14 months and talks over a renewal have seemingly stalled due to the salary demands. It is now reported that the Serie A outfit are likely to consider his exit this summer with interest from several clubs across Europe. Paris Saint-Germain are leading the race to sign him, but United and Chelsea are hopeful of luring the Argentine to the Premier League. Sportslens view: Dybala has been a quality performer for the Bianconeri over the past six years. Last season, he contributed 17 goal...
26-year-old ready to reject new Manchester United contract due to this reason
Manchester United defender Eric Bailly is prepared to reject a contract extension with the club to pursue a fresh challenge this summer, ESPN reports. The centre-back is currently in his fifth season with the Red Devils but has been restricted to just 100 appearances due to regular injury concerns. His situation has been similar this term, and he has generally been on the bench with Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire ahead of him in the pecking order. It is now reported that he is ready to snub a new deal beyond June next year as he is reluctant to continue playing the substitute role. Bailly is attracting interest from clubs in Italy and Spain, and it is claimed that the Red Devils are likely to sanction his departure this summer. Sportslens view: Bailly has made only seven league starts t...
‘He’d be a fantastic signing for Manchester United’ – Rio Ferdinand heaps praise on Everton star
Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been in outstanding form for the Toffees this season and his development under the management of Carlo Ancelotti has been quite impressive. Former Manchester United star Rio Ferdinand believes that the Everton striker would be a fantastic addition to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s attack. He said: “I’ve watched a lot of Everton this year and he’s one that unnerves defenders. He’s not one you want to play against week in, week out. He’s aggressive, he attacks the ball,” Ferdinand said (via Eurosport). “I was speaking to Carlo Ancelotti earlier this year and he mentioned [Filippo] Inzaghi and said he didn’t need many chances to score goals and he scores goals in and around the six-yard box. “I look at Calvert-Lewin this season and he’s listened to that,...
‘I have no doubt’: Crouch want West Ham to clinch ‘amazing value’ deal for £20m player
Peter Crouch has suggested that Manchester United could demand £20 million for Jesse Lingard. The popular football pundit has claimed in a Q/A column for the Daily Mail that he doesn’t think Lingard should return to Old Trafford. The England international was frozen out at United and eventually sealed a move to West Ham on loan in the January transfer window. He has made a tremendous impact for the Hammers, scoring eight goals and three assists in the Premier League. Crouch feels that United wanted “him to go out and show himself to potential suitors.” In that case, there’s no point for Lingard to come back to Old Trafford and find himself in a situation where he is used as a bit-part player. It has been reported that West Ham are ready to do anything to sign Lingard, while there has ...
BBC pundit claims Lingard must stop one thing at West Ham to be taken seriously
West Ham United secured a 3-2 victory over Leicester City on Sunday to keep their Champions League aspirations alive. The win saw them return to fourth place in the Premier League table with seven games to go, and they have Manchester United loanee Jesse Lingard to thank for their good form and fortunes. Since joining West Ham in January on loan until the end of the season, the England international has bagged eight goals and assisted three more in nine league appearances. A brace from Lingard against Leicester helped the Hammers pick up valuable three points, and he is undoubtedly one of the best players in the top-flight at the moment. He has earned a recall to the Three Lions squad after two years out due to his red-hot form and is widely expected to make manager Gareth Southgate’s Euro...
Roy Keane says 29-goal star ‘must be thinking’ about move to Manchester United
Manchester United legend Roy Keane has said that Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane ‘must be thinking’ about joining the Red Devils after watching their recent progress. United registered a stunning 3-1 comeback win over Spurs in the Premier League yesterday, which maintained their healthy nine-point advantage over fifth-placed Chelsea. The club are on course to qualify for a second-straight season in the Champions League, while they are also the strong favourites to win the Europa League. Speaking to Sky Sports on Sunday, Keane said that Kane must be thinking about moving to the Red Devils, where he can establish himself as the main man. He said via Goal.com: “For Kane, he’d be looking at this United team today and listen they’ve made progress over the last 12 months and surely Kane mus...
Manchester United could compete with Real Madrid to sign €70m box-to-box midfielder
Manchester United have joined Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain in the pursuit of Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Gazzetta dello Sport claims. The Red Devils were heavily linked with the Serbian star in the summer of 2019, and it was claimed that the club had agreed a five-year deal with the midfielder. On top of this, it was claimed that the Red Devils would pay an initial €75 million for the midfielder with a remaining €15m to be settled in the form of add-ons. However, nothing materialised, but it is now reported that the Red Devils could be back in the hunt to sign the box-to-box midfielder. The 26-year-old has been with Lazio for six seasons, but he appears likely to push for an exit if the Serie A club fail to qualify for the Champions League. Sportslens view: M...
Manchester United still interested in signing Borussia Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho
Manchester United are refusing to rule out a move for Borussia Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho this summer, according to the Manchester Evening News. Sancho was the subject of much speculation last summer, with United attempting to sign the former Manchester City man. However, a deal eventually fell through, and Sancho remained with Dortmund. The Manchester Evening News has now suggested a move to Old Trafford is still on the cards for Sancho. Despite the club prioritising a striker and a centre-back in the upcoming transfer window, it is said ‘United have not ended their interest in the England international’. The report also claims Sancho’s resale value has ‘fallen considerably’ due to a combination of his form, Dortmund’s struggles this season and the pandemic. As a result, Unit...
Zidane reportedly joins Conte in race for Hammers attacking midfielder
According to ESPN, Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan have joined West Ham United in the race for Jesse Lingard’s signature ahead of the summer transfer window. The England international joined the Hammers on loan until the rest of the season from Manchester United in January. He has hit the ground running at the London Stadium, grabbing eight goals and three assists in nine Premier League games. West Ham are desperate to secure Lingard’s services permanently as a result, but they have to finish in the top-four to have a chance of doing so. The 28-year-old wants to play Champions League football next season, and the Hammers are currently fourth in the Premier League with seven games to go thanks to him. Sportslens View The Red Devils academy graduate has caught the attention ...
‘It is understood’: David Ornstein delivers latest update on player who is ‘next on United’s list’
Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane in the summer. The Red Devils are interested in signing Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund in the summer, but Kane is “next on United’s list”, according to David Ornstein of The Athletic. The report claims that while United are interested in signing the England striker, they will not do business at the proposed £120 million fee mooted within the industry. On top of that Daniel Levy, the Spurs chairman, will not sell Kane to another English club under any circumstances. Ornstein wrote for The Athletic: “Harry Kane is next on United’s list, but they would not do business at the proposed £120 million fee mooted within the industry.

Mino Raiola wants Erling Haaland to be 1st £1 millon-a-week player
Mino Raiola is determined to make Erling Haaland the first £1 million-a-week player. Haaland has grown into one of the deadliest strikers in world football, having scored a ridiculous 49 goals in 52 appearances for Borussia Dortmund. The Norwegian sensation is attracting interest from all of Europe’s elite but according to The Mirror, super-agent Raiola wants any transfer to be a “once in a lifetime deal”. Raiola, along with Haaland’s father Alf-Inge, recently travelled to spain for meetings with both Barcelona and Real Madrid. It’s said the two Spanish giants were shocked at the finances it would take to secure the former Red Bull Salzburg man, while Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool are all aware how costly and complex a potential deal will be. Still only 20 but w...
Predicted Spurs starting XI: Mourinho to make five changes; 28-year-old returns
Tottenham Hotspur will face Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday. Spurs have got a full week to prepare for this crucial clash as they look to return to winning ways following a disappointing 2-2 draw against Newcastle United last time out. Jose Mourinho’s side won 6-1 at Old Trafford earlier this season and has almost a full squad to choose from this time around, with Ben Davies and Matt Doherty the only absentees. However, he is likely to make a few changes to starting XI. Davinson Sanchez has done well recently, but following his sloppy performance against the Magpies, he could be dropped here. Both Toby Alderweireld and Serge Aurier should come in after their two-match absence, with the Belgian defender likely to start alongside Joe Rodon in central defence. Spurs ha...
