Ralf Rangnick was ‘astonished’ by some of Manchester United’s transfer this summer and thought one pursuit was a joke invented by supporters. Rangnick spent six months at Old Trafford after being appointed as the club’s caretaker manager after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s sacking. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); United had a poor start to the season under Solskjaer but their fortunes did not improve once Rangnick took over, with the club finishing sixth in the Premier League and crashing out of the Champions League and FA Cup.

Didier Drogba has revealed his delight at Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s decision to leave Barcelona and join Chelsea. The former Arsenal skipper was discarded by the La Liga giants just six months after leaving the Emirates in acrimonious fashion after his falling out with Mikel Arteta. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The arrival of Robert Lewandowski, coupled with Barcelona’s financial plight, forced Aubameyang to cut-short his time in Spain and his move to Chelsea was completed on deadline day. Aubameyang will be reunited with his former Dortmund coach Thomas Tuchel, whose need for a new centre forward has been highlighted by recent defeats against Leeds & Southampton.

Chelsea have been presented with a huge dilemma in the last few days of the transfer window after receiving a £27m offer for Gallagher, according to reports. The midfielder has played in all four of Chelsea’s Premier League games this campaign so far and, in the absence of N’Golo Kante, started against Leeds and Leicester City. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); But, Gallagher was sent off for two yellow cards inside the first half-hour against the Foxes and Thomas Tuchel is believed to harbour some reservations about the 22-year-old. According to The Times, Crystal Palace are now looking to test Chelsea’s resolve and are looking to convince their London rivals to sell the midfielder.

Arsenal supporters must resist going ‘overboard’ about Gabriel Jesus because players like Erling Haaland are still better than the Brazilian. That’s according to former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand, who says Arsenal fans have a tendency of overhyping players. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Jesus has made a superb start to life at the Emirates since his £45m arrival from Manchester City earlier in the summer. The Brazil star has scored twice during the Gunners’ 100% start to the Premier League campaign but his performances have been more impressive, with Jesus looking a sharper version of the player he was at the Etihad.

Chelsea and Barcelona will meet for more talks over the transfer of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang this afternoon, with the club yet to meet the Catalans’ asking price for the player. Thomas Tuchel is keen to bolster his attack after the departures of Lukaku and Timo Werner, with Raheem Sterling the only addition to the frontline so far this summer. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The 37-year-old joined Barcelona on a free transfer last January after Arsenal terminated his contract but Xavi is ready to cash in on the Gabon skipper after Lewandowski’s arrival from Bayern. The former Dortmund star is willing to return to London but Chelsea have so far failed to meet Barcelona’s £30m asking price for Aubameyang. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoo...

Ajax winger Antony is expected to finally undergo a medical with the club over the next 48 hours after Manchester United agreed an £85m deal to sign the Brazilian star. The 22-year-old attacker is expected to arrive in the north-west on Monday before undergoing the first part of his medical in order to sign for United. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Antony has made no secret of his desire to move to Old Trafford and despite saying they would not sell the Brazilian, Ajax caved on Sunday by accepting a club record fee for the player. Given Antony requires a work permit and visa, it’s unlikely that the player will be registered in time for Thursday’s game against Leicester City.

Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong has got Manchester United supporters excited after ‘liking’ several posts on Instagram after the team's 2-1 win over Liverpool on Monday. The Red Devils have spent much of the summer unsuccessfully pursuing the Netherlands star, who is reluctant to leave Camp Nou despite United agreeing a £73m fee last month. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Although De Jong started – and impressed – in Barca’s 4-1 victory over Real Sociedad, there are still suggestions he may need to be sold with the club’s financial issues preventing them from registering Jules Kounde. The Dutchman’s exit would be the final financial ‘lever’ Barca need and could even facilitate a move for Bernardo Silva, but the issue over his deferred wages – ...
