REVEALED: Man Utd’s plans for Mason Greenwood after Jadon Sancho transfer

Premier League
Manchester United star Mason Greenwood will be given more chances in a central forward position next campaign once the club complete a £75m transfer for Jadon Sancho. United are hopeful of concluding a deal for Sancho in the coming days, with the Red devils and Dortmund reported to be just £4million apart in their valuation of the former Man City winger. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Sancho has wanted to join the club for the last 18 months and Solskjaer believes he is the solution to United’s issues on the right flank, which hasn’t been fixed since Sir Alex Ferguson’s exit in 2013. Greenwood was majorly used from the right flank last campaign, with the teenager only given few chances in his favoured central role because of Edinson Cavani and Anthony Ma...

Jadon Sancho set to finally join Man Utd after second bid of £73m

Transfer Info, Bundesliga, Premier League
Jadon Sancho’s move to Manchester United is on th way and the club expect to land the Dortmund star next week for a fee close to £75m. United’s interest in the player goes back to early 2019 but it was the summer of 2020 in which they tried – and failed – to land Sancho. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Dortmund have a £108m asking price for the former Man City winger then but they’ve lowered that valuation to reflect Sancho’s contract and the financial climate due to the pandemic. While the Red devils are yet to settle on a fee for Sancho, their offer of around £72.5m is close to Dortmund’s asking price and there is belief that the deal will be done next week, according to the Times. Dortmund are looking for more up-front, while they want further add-o...

Wolves and Norwich are also believed to be interested in Gilmour but the Daily Record claim Rangers have...

Frank Lampard reveals the ‘problem’ he had with N’Golo Kante at Chelsea

EURO 2020, Premier League
Frank Lampard says the only problem he had with N’Golo Kante at Chelsea was trying to stop the player from running too much in training. Lampard spent 18 months working with Kante at Stamford Bridge before he was sacked and replaced by Thomas Tuchel in January. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Kante struggled with a hamstring injury during Lampard’s first campaign at the club but since recovering, the Frenchman has once again established himself as a key part of Chelsea’s midfield. Lampard has described Kante’s contribution as ‘priceless’ and claims the only downside to managing the midfielder is having to be strict with the effort he puts in during training sessions. ‘When I arrived at Chelsea he’d been off the back of playing so regularly for a few se...

Transfer Info, La Liga, Premier League
Real Madrid are resigned to losing Raphael Varane this summer transfer window and will likely sell him to a Premier League team for around £40m, according to reports. He has spent the last decade at the Santiago Bernabeu, winning four Champions League titles and the La Liga title on three occasions. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); But, the World Cup winner has only one year to run on his deal in Spain and he has intimated that he’s unwilling to sign an extension as he wants a fresh challenge elsewhere. That has alerted Manchester United, who have long held Varane up as their ideal player to partner Harry Maguire at centre-back. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has reportedly been given around £150m to spend on his squad this summer. Madrid want to keep Varane b...

EURO 2020, Premier League
Jose Mourinho says he recognised Kevin de Bruyne’s potential when he was Chelsea boss and did not want him to leave, saying it was the player who forced his way out of Stamford Bridge. The London club signed a 18-year-old De Bruyne from Genk in 2012 but he played ony nine first-team matches before joining Wolfsburg. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Given De Bruyne’s development over the past decade, his exit from Chelsea does not reflect well on Chelsea or Mourinho but the Portuguese coach has played down his involvement in the move. De Bruyne is currently with the Belgium team at Euro 2020 and helped United top Group B with three victories from three. Mourinho told talkSPORT: ‘Kevin is an amazing player, in this moment he is one of the best players in ...
