Manchester United transfer news: Six superstars the Red Devils could buy with £200million war chest

Manchester United transfer news: Six superstars the Red Devils could buy with £200million war chest

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is going to have a busy summer.


The Red Devils manager is reportedly set to be handed in excess of £200million by Ed Woodward in a massive summer squad overhaul.


And it’s safe to say the United squad is in need of a major restructure.





Solskjaer is set to be handed a huge transfer budget this summer

Ander Hererra is on his way out of Old Trafford and is set to sign a deal with French giants Paris Saint-Germain.


While club captain Antonio Valencia is set to leave United after nearly 11 years with the club.


Juan Mata’s future is also uncertain, with the Spaniard admitting he could return to Spain when his contract expires in the summer.


But who could be on their way to Old Trafford? talkSPORT.com has assessed all the potential new arrivals in what looks set to be one of Man United’s busiest transfer windows to date.















Jadon Sancho (Borussia Dortmund)


Sancho is reportedly Manchester United’s top target this summer.


The 19-year-old has been an integral part of Borussia Dortmund’s title challenging squad.


His form has also seen the teenager break into Gareth Southgate’s England team and is widely regarded as one of the countries brightest young prospects.

United are ready to pay over £100million for the winger, according to The Independent..


Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are also thought to be interested in signing Sancho but United is the likeliest destination – and he fuelled speculation of a move after retweeting a post urging him to head to Old Trafford.


Kalidou Koulibaly (Napoli)


United are also reportedly preparing to make a huge bid for Napoli defender Koulibaly.


The Senegalese powerhouse has been a long-term target for Old Trafford chiefs, particularly for former manager Jose Mourinho.

Mourinho was keen to sign a centre-back last summer and Koulibaly was reportedly on the top of his wish-list.


But a move for a centre-back never materialised – a decision which the Portuguese bemoaned repeatedly before he was sacked.


However, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, United are set to break the bank to tempt the Serie A side into selling their star defender.



Aaron Wan-Bissaka (Crystal Palace)


Manchester United are also believed to be monitoring Crystal Palace star Aaron Wan-Bissaka.


Diogo Dalot, 20, who was dubbed the best right-back in the world for his age upon his arrival last summer by ex-boss Mourinho, has featured regularly under Solskjaer.





Wan-Bissaka has been a standout performer for Crystal Palace

Wan-Bissaka has been a standout performer for Crystal Palace



However, the Norwegian, who gave 33-year-old full-back Ashley Young a new deal in February, still wants a replacement for Valencia – and Wan-Bissaka could occupy the right flank for years to come.


The England Under-21 star has been a standout performer for the Eagles this season, contributing significantly to Palace’s 11 clean sheets this season – the joint-fourth highest in the Premier League.


Idrissa Gueye (Everton)


Another player who could be on the way to Old Trafford is Everton’s nimble box-to-box midfielder Gueye.


The Senegal international has made his name as one of the best Toffees players in recent seasons.





Gueye has been a model of consistency and discipline for the Toffees

Gueye has been a model of consistency and discipline for the Toffees



He has been likened to N’Golo Kante for his work rate and could be a natural successor for the departing Hererra.


United have often used a three man midfield in recent seasons with two defensive minded players – a move for Gueye could see that change where he could occupy a sole spot in front of defence.


Nicolas Pepe (Lille)


Another player who has been linked with a move to Old Trafford is Lille forward Pepe.


The 23-year-old winger is expected to be one of the most in-demand players when the summer transfer window opens.


He has lit up Ligue 1 with 19 goals and 11 assists this season – and was once again impressive on Sunday, scoring a goal as Lille dismantled PSG 5-1 on Sunday.







Pepe has been on stunning form this season

But securing a move away from France will not be easy, with Lille already rejecting bids worth €50million (£42,9m).


Furthermore, Arsenal have been regularly linked with the starlet and Bayern Munich also reportedly interested.



Moussa Dembele (Lyon)


United are also reportedly keeping an eye on former Celtic striker Moussa Dembele, according to the Daily Express.


The 22-year-old Frenchman has scored 18 goals in all competitions this season for Lyon.





Dembele is no stranger to the Premier League

And he is no stranger to English football, having played for Fulham before joining Celtic.


But he was still very young during his spell with the Cottagers and now he has more experience under his belt in the Scottish and French leagues.

‘It smacked of racism’ – Pavel Pogrebnyak’s comments on black players in Russia national team blasted by Vladimir Putin’s human rights adviser

Former Fulham and Reading striker Pavel Pogrebnyak’s comment that it is “laughable” to have black players in the Russia national team has been blasted by president Vladimir Putin’s human rights adviser.


Mikhail Fedotov, head of the presidential Human Rights Council said the comments made by Pogrebnyak, who made 33 appearances for Russia between 2006-12, “smacked of racism”.

“I believe that any football player who plays well and has Russian citizenship has a right to represent the Russian national side,” Fedotov told the TV channel Moscow 360.


“The colour of their skin, eyes, hair and everything else has no significance. This should be obvious to anyone,” he added.


In an interview with tabloid Komsomolskaya Pravda, Pogrebnyak said he was opposed to the recent trend of non-Russian players receiving Russian passports with the view to representing the country in international matches.















The 35-year-old picked out examples of Brazilian-born pair Mario Fernandes, who plays for CSKA Moscow, and Ariclenes da Silva Ferreira (Ari), who is a Krasnodar player.


“I don’t see the point of this. I do not understand at all why Ari received a Russian passport,” he said. “It is laughable when a black player represents the Russian national side.


“Mario Fernandes is a top player. But we also have Igor Smolnikov in his position. We could make do without foreigners as well.”

Pogrebnyak could face a ten-match ban for his comments according to Russian website sports.ru.


And the deputy anti-discrimination officer for the Russian Football Union says it will be looking at possible punishment for Pogrebnyak, who plays for Russian top flight club Ural Yekaterinburg.


The player has sought to clarify his comments since, telling Sport24 that he has played abroad and respects “all players without exception”.


“I do not have anything against black players,” said Pogrebnyak , who also played for Stuttgart in Germany.

Chelsea loanee Reece James to be given Wigan captaincy during grand send-off

Chelsea loanee Reece James to be given Wigan captaincy during grand send-off

Chelsea loanee Reece James will captain Wigan in his final game for the club.


The 19-year-old full-back has been a revelation for the Latics, who have already ensured their Championship survival ahead of Sunday’s last-day clash with Millwall.





James has made 45 appearances and scored two goals for Wigan

James’ first season in senior football has seen him named in the Championship Team of the Year, alongside fellow Blues loanee Tammy Abraham.


And Latics boss Paul Cook plans on giving the teenager a fitting send-off.


James will be handed the captaincy and leave the field to a standing ovation at the DW Stadium – a huge honour given his age and the brevity of his time at the club.


“Reece will captain the team on Sunday and it’s likely that we’ll bring him off during the latter stages so that our supporters can give him the ovation he deserves,” Cook said.




EFL EXPERT EYE – Reece James: What those in the know say about the Chelsea loanee who has starred for Wigan in the Championship this season




James’ performances at the DW Stadium can only boost his chances of breaking into the Chelsea team, especially given the two-window transfer ban imposed on the club by FIFA.

Leicester City 3-0 Arsenal: Gunners stars rated and slated after another defeat

Just when Arsenal fans thought it couldn’t get any worse this week, they conceded three goals for the third time and made it a trio of defeats.

Having already lost to Crystal Palace and Wolves, Leicester City took their opportunity to brush the Gunners aside with ease.





Arsenal players look dejected during their defeat to Leicester

Arsenal players look dejected during their defeat to Leicester



Even before Ainsley Maitland-Niles was sent off for two bookable offences, Unai Emery’s men looked like struggling against the Foxes, who are performing well under new boss Brendan Rodgers.


Once they were down to 10-men, though, Arsenal were barely able to lay a glove on their opponents and had it not been for the brilliance of goalkeeper Bernd Leno could have lost the game by a bigger margin at the King Power Stadium.


The German shot-stopper was clearly their best player on the day but how did talkSPORT.com rate the rest of their XI, who look set to miss out on a top four spot? Find out below.















Bernd Leno – 9/10


Recovered well during an early mix up to claim the ball and after some straight forward stops then produced a fine effort to deny Wilfred Ndidi a goal from a header. He stood strong as his goal was peppered by the Foxes and it would definitely have been


Ainsley Maitland-Niles – 2/10


The youngster received an early yellow card for an unneeded block on Ben Chilwell but moments later he saved his side by deflecting a Maddison strike over the crossbar. He struggled with the threat of Chilwell who was marauding down the flank. His tough afternoon was ended after just 35 minutes when he fouled his tormentor Maddison on the halfway line as the Foxes broke on the counter.

Michael Oliver shows Ainsley Maitland-Niles a red card



Sead Kolasinac – 5/10


Failed to get forward and support Iwobi on a couple of occasions and was hardly a giant defensively with Marc Albrighton keeping him on his toes throughout.


Shkodran Mustafi – 6/10


Almost made an error early on attempting to shield the ball from a Leicester player but was generally okay, even when shifted out to right-back.


Sokartis – 5/10


Foolishly lumped the ball out of play during just as Arsenal had handled a spell of Leicester pressure and lost Ndidi for the Nigerian’s excellent chance from a corner. Not his finest game this season as he and Koscielny were then beaten by Vardy for Leicester’s second of the match.





Sokratis Papastathopoulos of Arsenal is challenged by Ben Chilwell of Leicester City

Sokratis Papastathopoulos of Arsenal is challenged by Ben Chilwell of Leicester City



Lucas Torreira – 6/10


Laid out by an unintentional boot in the chest by Hamza Choudhury early on an struggled to make his usual impact in central midfield as Leicester City moved their play to the flank. Plenty of effort from the Uruguayan though and he can hold his head higher than others.


Granit Xhaka – 4/10


Sometimes it’s hard to pinpoint what the Swiss international is doing when the Gunners are on the back foot. His passing was well off the standard you would like him to bring in such a key game and wasted one counter attack with a lazy ball forward.





Granit Xhaka of Arsenal holds off Wilfred Ndidi of Leicester City

Henrikh Mkhitaryan – 4/10


A wandering display when the Gunners had 11 men remained an ambling effort when they lost Maitland-Niles, clearly kept on due to his threat on the counter but he was found wanting. Understandably hooked for Matteo Guendouzi after 72 minutes.


Alex Iwobi – 4/10


Dropped in deeper on occasion and appeared to be off the usual wavelength he has with Kolasinac. He was taken off at half-time and replaced by Koscielny as Emery shuffled his pack.


Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang – 4/10


Just couldn’t keep hold of the ball when the Gunners got forward and was unable to get one shot on Kasper Schmeichel’s goal in a tough match for the Gabonese ace.





Leicester City ace Harry Maguire comfortably held off the threat of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang all match

Scuffed a good chance after 23 minutes having freed himself from his marker and was far brighter and more involved than his striker partner. He may have been feeding off scraps but was at least trying his hardest to get


Substitute: Laurent Koscielny – 5/10


Vital tackle stopped Vardy going through one-on-one with Leno but appeared just as ropey as him team-mate when it came to the crunch. His failed clearance allowed Vardy to race through and, eventually, scored the Foxes’ second.

Substitute: Matteo Guendouzi – 5/10


Other than some better passing, the French youngster made little-to-no difference in midfielder as Rodgers’ starlets shone at the King Power Stadium.


Substitute: Eddie Nketiah – N/A


Looked troublesome when he came on and got into the right areas but wasn’t on long enough to earn a mark.
