Manchester United are primed to make a move for Tottenham playmaker Chistian Eriksen after the Dane's transfer to Real Madrid broke down, according to reports. Real Madrid  boss Zinedine Zidane wants Paul Pogba to join Hazard, meaning no place for Eriksen in his squad. That has put Manchester United and Juventus on alert, with both keen on sealing his signing, according to the Mirror. Eriksen has become a crucial player for Spurs since joining from Ajax for £11m in 2013, but his sale could finance significant rebuilding of the squad. Eriksen has also suggested he is ready for a new challenge away from north London. He said: 'I have the wildest and deepest respect for everything that has happened in Tottenham, nor will it be negative. But I have also said that I would like to try something new.

Manchester United reportedly turned down an offer from Paris Saint-Germain to swap Paul Pogba for Neymar. The Brazilian seems to have his heart set on a return to Barcelona, though, with Spanish media claiming he is willing to make a public apology to Barca supporters in a bid to secure his return to the Nou Camp this summer. The Brazilian forward is hoping to leave Paris Saint-Germain in this transfer window, just two years after he swapped Barcelona for the French capital in a world-record £198million move. The transfer left a bitter taste in the mouth of some Barca supporters and now Neymar is ready to rebuild bridges by apologising for his departure, according to Spanish paper Sport. But according to The Independent, PSG approached United about a direct swap deal for the players. United turned the proposal down, though, believing Neymar would cost too much. United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward, who brought Pogba back to the club in 2016, has long sought another ma...

With Benitez out of a job this week, reports have emerged that he is now seriously considering a lucrative offer on the table from Chinese Super League side Dalian Yifang. The club are one of a number from the cash-laden China league interested in Benitez's services, claim the Times. The desire to take Benitez to China however is a strong one, with the super rich Dalian Yifang eager to bring in a respected Champions League-winning manager to head their project.

Former England international, Stan Collymore, has backed Manchester United’s executive vice-chairman, Ed Woodward, to sign Chelsea’s N’Golo Kante and West Ham’s Declan Rice in order to keep midfielder, Paul Pogba, at Old Trafford next season. Pogba is set to leave Man United in this summer’s transfer window after he told reporters in Tokyo, Japan last Sunday that he wants “a new challenge”. But Collymore believes the only way Ed Woodward can keep the France World Cup winner at the club next season was to land Kante and Rice this summer in order to bring out the best from the 26-year-old. Writing in his Sunday Mirror column, Collymore said: “United have also let Pogba down by ­failing to sign the player or players who’d bring out the best in him. “Because if he is to become the next outstanding footballer, which he has the ability to do, then he has to have someone of [Didier] Deschamps’ ilk alongside him at club level. “Ed Woodward clearly doesn’t want to allow Pogba – the j...
