20 goals & 18 assists this season: Man Utd in advanced talks with attacker regarding transfer
Manchester United have been linked with the Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho for a while now. According to Italian journalist Nicolo Schira, the former Manchester City player is now in advanced talks with the Red Devils regarding a summer transfer. Schira adds that Dortmund value the player at €120m this summer. It will be interesting to see if the Premier League giants can negotiate a lower fee for their attacking target. Apparently, Sancho is a priority for Manchester United and the player wants to leave the German club as well. Sancho has been in fantastic form this season and he would be a tremendous coup for the Old Trafford giants. He will improve them massively in attack and United could turn into genuine title contenders with him on their side. Solskjaer’s men have already improved a l...
Report: Tottenham and Man Utd set to battle it out for 27-yr-old La Liga ace
Tottenham are interested in signing the Valencia midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia this summer. As per Foot Mercato (via Sportwitness), the 27-year-old is expected to be available because of Valencia’s financial problems and he could be a good fit for Spurs. Jose Mourinho needs more physique and depth in his midfield and Kodogbia would add just that. He could be a really good partner for Tanguy Ndombele in theory.

It will be interesting to see if the Londoners submit an offer for the player in the coming months. Kondogbia is thought to be keen on a move to the Premier League. Therefore, convincing him ...
Phil Neville blasts Ole Gunnar Solskjaer over poor selection
Former Manchester United star Phil Neville was not pleased with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team selection against Chelsea in the FA Cup. The Red Devils lost 3-1 in the semi final at Wembley after a limp display, and in part due to goalkeeping mistakes from David De Gea. But Neville felt the team selection from manager Solskjaer was a key reason for the loss. The result means Chelsea face Arsenal in the final, while both United and Chelsea have to play the final two Premier League games of their seasons to try and secure a spot in the top four. “I don’t think United had a player on the pitch, maybe [Bruno] Fernandes, that played well,” the former Manchester United player explained on TV. “I think Ole picked the wrong team and the wrong system.” Get more stories like this on Twitter You Deserve ...

It has been suggested that many top flight clubs will be reluctant to spend big money during the window, but things will probably start to snowball once the first few deals have been completed. The window will be a particularly crucial period for the ‘Big Six’ clubs, with each of them needing to make differing levels of improvements to their respective squads. Sportslens takes a closer look at the latest state-of-play regarding the key signings the sextet need to make this summer.

Report: Everton register interest in 27-yr-old PL ace, who has been linked with Man Utd
Everton have joined the race for the Aston Villa defender Tyrone Mings. The Villans are expected to go down this season and their best players could be up for grabs. As per reports (via Birmingham Mail), Manchester United are keen on signing the 27-year-old Aston Villa centre back and now Carlo Ancelotti’s side have registered their interest in him as well. Villa paid big money for Mings in the summer but he has not been at his best this season. He was exceptional for them last year. It will be interesting to see if he can improve next year. If Everton manage to sign him, he could add depth to their backline. Mings has shown his quality for Villa and England. If he can sort out his consistency, he could be very useful for the Toffees next season. It will be interesting to see if Everton ca...
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer signals u-turn in transfer priorities
Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has hinted that the club’s transfer priorities for this summer have changed toward the defence. It has been believed for some time that the first priority is a right winger, with Jadon Sancho the top target. There has also been much talk of United signing another attacking midfielder, potentially Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish, and a striker has also been sought, with the Reds narrowly missing out on capturing Norwegian star Erling Haaland in January. But when asked about planning for the future at the Southampton pre-match press conference, the boss suggested that the situation is under review. ‘There’s so many small decisions and of course transfers sometimes are out of our hands as well,’ he said. ‘If the team is going well, [you ask yourself]...
‘Absolutely carnage’: Woodhouse urges Manchester United to raid Tottenham for 26-year-old
Curtis Woodhouse has urged Manchester United on Twitter to make a move for Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane in the summer transfer window. The former Sheffield United and Birmingham City midfielder made the comments on Thursday evening when both Tottenham and United were in action. Tottenham played out a dull and boring goalless draw with Bournemouth away from home at the Vitality Stadium in the Premier League on Thursday evening. The result means that Spurs’ chances of finishing in the Champions League places have pretty much gone out of the window. As for United, the Red Devils maintained their good run of form with a 3-0 victory over Aston Villa away from home at Villa Park in the league. The result means that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side are just a point behind fourth-placed Leicest...

The 22-year-old is thought to be valued at £60m and Manchester United are looking at him as an alternative to Jadon Sancho.

The report adds that the player wants to continue in Italy and he will need some convincing. Manchester United will have to work hard to change the play...

Report: Arsenal very interested in signing 22-goal star linked with Newcastle recently
Arsenal are very interested in signing the French striker Moussa Dembele this summer as per Foot Mercato. The former Celtic ace has been a sensation in Ligue 1 ever since he joined Lyon. If the Gunners manage to sign him, it would be a coup for them. The player has recently been linked with Newcastle United and Manchester United. Mikel Arteta has Lacazette and Aubameyang at his disposal but the Frenchman has been linked with an exit this summer. Also, Aubameyang is yet to commit his long-term future to the club. Nketiah and Martinelli are talented but they are too young to lead the line on a weekly basis. Someone like Dembele would be a fantastic replacement if the likes of Lacazette move on this summer. Dembele will add pace, flair and goals to the side. Although he is a centre forward, h...
Chelsea fans love what Southampton’s Michael Obafemi did to Manchester United
Chelsea fans have taken to social media and thanked Southampton striker, Michael Obafemi. The Saints forward – who netted at Stamford Bridge earlier in the season – made his mark against Manchester United on Monday night as he scored an injury-time equalizer at Old Trafford. As a result, the Red Devils missed a great chance to leapfrog the Blues as well as Leicester City in the Premier League table. Furthermore, the race for the final two Champions League spots has taken yet another twist. On Saturday, Frank Lampard’s side slumped to a very disappointing 3-0 loss away at Sheffield United, thus handing the Foxes the initiative ahead of their clash with relegation-threatened Bournemouth the following day. However, Brendan Rodgers’ side capitulated in the second half at the Vitality Stadium a...
