Journalist: PL rival willing to offer £27m to sign player Mourinho wants at Spurs
According to Spanish journalist, Senen Escalante, Manchester United are leading the race to sign Real Madrid full-back Sergio Reguilon.

It has been reported that Los Blancos will demand around €20-25 million (£18-22m) for the player. Escalante claims that the defender will not be joining Sevilla this summer. The La Liga club are willing to offer him €20...
Fabrizio Romano: £22m Tottenham target has been offered to Man Utd
Manchester United spent all summer trying to secure the signature of Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund, but they failed in their attempt to land the England international. The Red Devils have made one signing so far – Donny van de Beek from Ajax – and it remains to be seen whether Ole Gunnar Solskjaer makes more addition to the squad in the coming days.

‘Unbelievable signing’: Many Villa fans react after hearing who Smith wants next
Aston Villa fans have taken to social networking site Twitter to express their reaction to reports linking the club with a move for Sergio Romero from Manchester United. The 33-year-old is entering the final year of his contract at Old Trafford, and he is available in the market due to United’s present goalkeeping situation.

Gareth Bale: Real Madrid blocked my return to Premier League
Gareth Bale has accused Real Madrid of making it “very difficult” to leave the Spanish club as the Wales forward looks to end his Bernabeu exile. Bale is out of favour with Real manager Zinedine Zidane and played just 48 minutes of Madrid’s 12 games when the Spanish season resumed after the coronavirus lockdown. Zidane, who has feuded with Bale throughout his two spells in charge, said the winger did not want to play in last season’s Champions League last-16 second-leg tie at Manchester City. Bale has two years left on his Real contract, but there appears little chance he will force his way into the manager’s plans. The 31-year-old almost joined Chinese Super League club Jiangsu Suning in 2019 before Real pulled the plug on the deal, a decision that still irks Bale. “I think the club needs...

Super Eagles prospect shines in Crystal Palace win
Ebere Eze made his debut for Crystal Palace during a comprehensive 3-0 victory over Charlton in preseason friendly. The former Queens Park Rangers (QPR) player who made a big-money move to Selhurst this summer played for 45 minutes in the encounter and was brilliant throughout his stay at the club. Eze presence in midfield showed why the club doled out 20 million pounds for his services. The player who is eligible to play for England and Nigeria fired a shot wide from 20 yards after making space for himself. He set up Andros Townsend who tried an overhead-kick at goal but it was blocked before Jordan Ayew hit the post as the first half ended goalless. Eze made way for Jeffrey Schlupp at the start of the second half. However, Ghanaian Jordan Ayew opened scoring from a pass by former Manches...
Manchester United star Marcus Rashford sets up taskforce in bid to end child hunger
Manchester United star Marcus Rashford is showing once again that he’s one of the best blokes in football with his bid to end child hunger in the UK.

The 22-year-old will no doubt be making United fans proud with his commitment to this issue, with so...
