In what has been a topsy-turvy couple of months in the world of Paul Pogba and Manchester United, it appears we may have a fresh twist on the cards.

Reports in recent weeks had suggested the France World Cup winner was on his way out of Old Trafford this summer, and comments from his agent Mino Raiola echoed those sentiments.

However, in an update from The Guardian, Pogba’s hopes of leaving United are becoming increasingly “remote” as the club have yet to receive a bid from any interested parties.

The report adds that with the transfer window closing in less than a month, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side do not want to lose yet another midfielder this summer and that Madrid’s valuation of Pogba is “markedly lower” than United’s.

After hearing the news Pogba could now be staying in Manchester for the foreseeable future, United fans took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the matter.

Many were seemingly relieved that the Frenchman was being kept at the club and praised the side for holding out for Pogba’s true valuation rather than just letting him go on the cheap.

Indeed, many suggested that the 26-year-old still remained one of their best midfielders and even claimed that losing the former Juventus midfielder would see them end up in a “relegation dogfight”.

Loads of Manchester United fans have been celebrating what seemed to be negative news, as they are set to miss out on Harry Maguire.

According to The Daily Star, Manchester City are now favourites to land Leicester City’s towering centre-back.

An impressive showing at the 2018 World Cup saw Maguire’s stock rise throughout the season, and the report claims Man City are set to win the race for his signature for a fee of around £65m.

In fact, the report even claims a medical is “pencilled in” for the Foxes star, and that the champions intend to complete a deal within the next week.

Now, usually missing out on a transfer target, especially one in a position of need, is devastating for fans, but the Old Trafford faithful have had an extremely positive reaction to this news on Twitter.

While few would deny Maguire is a quality player, it seems his price tag turned many fans away, and City fans may not want to look at the Twitter reactions down below if they do indeed land the 26 year-old…

Some Liverpool fans have identified Nathan Ake as the man bolster the depth in their defence.

Liverpool are expected to pursue a left-sided defender this summer, with Alberto Moreno all set to depart Anfield when his contract expires at the end of this month.

Andy Robertson is the clear first choice on the Reds’ left flank, but the Scottish captain played 48 matches this past season, and will likely need more rotation to survive another trophy charge in the next campaign.

With that in mind, some Reds fans have suggested moving for Ake, who could provide depth in multiple positions.

The former Chelsea youngster, who signed for Bournemouth for £20m last summer, can play centre-back or left-back, and also operate as a centre-back in a back three.

This would give Jurgen Klopp plenty of options to rotate his league-best defence without sacrificing too much quality.

Take a look at some of the Twitter reactions down below, where Reds fans are convinced Ake is their man…

After experiencing a shocking drop in form, David de Gea’s quickly gone from hero to zero at Manchester United. Well, not quite, but if there was at least one other world class player at Old Trafford who wouldn’t create such a void if he did depart, you’d imagine the reaction to some of his performances would be a lot worse.

So, despite seemingly having the club’s support for his form over the course of most of their troublesome years, he’s now plagued problems and is apparently making unreasonable demands.

The Spaniard only has just a year remaining on his contract and is unwilling to sign another one (reported way back in February by the Independent) unless he’s paid as much as Alexis Sanchez. Clearly, repeating the mistake with the Chilean isn’t an option for Ed Woodward, regardless of whoever the star is. As a result, United will have to draw up some sort of contingency in terms of De Gea’s potential replacement and according to reports from Duncan Castles on his Transfer Window podcast (via Daily Star), they have singled out Lille’s Mike Maignan as potentially their new #1.

The 23-year-old French goalkeeper’s the newest rising star in Ligue 1, having put in some impressive performances for Lille last season. Indeed, he kept 15 clean-sheets, putting in some stunning shifts in between the posts. Impressively, Maignan’s an excellent shot-stopper and is surely going to start to rival Hugo Lloris for the world champions’ custodian spot going forward but his inexperience’s the worrying factor.

Granted, when he arrived from Spain a skinny goalkeeper, the Spaniard also came under heavy criticism. However, his bad performances were covered up by Sir Alex Ferguson’s winning system and some impeccable senior defenders. Obviously, nobody needs telling that the Red Devils don’t have that anymore so taking a risk on an inexperienced figure could cause gigantic issues.

They should only replace De Gea with an experienced goalkeeper capable of withstanding pressure. The talented Maignan might be the next big thing, but the pressure of filling De Gea’s boots will probably end up ruining his potentially bright future.

United fans, do you think Maignan would be the ideal successor to De Gea? Join the discussion by commenting below…

Tottenham Hotspur have been told they will have to pay €700million (£617m) to sign Real Madrid attacking midfielder Marco Asensio this summer, per El Chiringuito TV via Sport Witness.

What’s the word?

Spurs are scouring the transfer market for potential reinforcements this summer and Asensio has emerged as something of a surprise target.

The 23-year-old made 44 appearances in 2018-19, scoring six goals and laying on seven assists.

He remains a key part of Zinedine Zidane’s plans and that appears to be evidenced by Real’s stance to Spurs’ enquiry; the report claims that Real instantly referred the London club to the star’s release clause, which currently stands at £617m.

El Chiringuito also claim that Asensio intends to remain in Spain this summer, making any potential transfer incredibly unlikely.

Levy stance backfires

This comes amid news that Real Madrid are tracking playmaker Christian Eriksen.

Chairman Daniel Levy, of course, demands a pretty penny for his first-team stars and reports claim that he values the Denmark international as highly as £140m.

It seems here, then, that Real are simply playing him at his own game.

An enquiry has reportedly gone in for Asensio and it has been answered in perhaps the least surprising way possible.

He is a fully-fledged Spain international and a major first-team player at Santiago Bernabeu; a move was never going to be straightforward.

But, because it’s Levy, Real have appeared to up the stakes.

It remains to be seen, of course, if it will have an impact on their pursuit of Eriksen.

Amidst what has to be an overhaul, Newcastle United are also in danger of losing their biggest assets this summer.

There’s a real unsure vibe surrounding Salomon Rondon’s future at the club, with Mike Ashley previously reported by the Daily Star to be unwilling to sign him permanently due to his age and the wages that come with that.

However, a new problem arises for the Magpies. Not only is there a Rondon issue, but a serious concern with Ayoze Perez is also creeping up on them. Indeed, according to reports (via Chronicle Live), the Spaniard is assessing his options in La Liga and Serie A. Apparently, the likes of AC Milan and Inter Milan are interested in the forward, and Newcastle need to act fast to secure his future.

Crazily enough, this is without even mentioning that Rafa Benitez is yet to sign a new deal on Tyneside. Eugh, it really is tough supporting the Toon, isn’t it?

While it’d be difficult to keep him away from big clubs, Benitez can surely assure him of a more prominent role to convince him. Perez hit 10+ goals for the first time in his career this season, scoring more often playing through the middle, largely putting an end to the frustration around him from the terraces.

If he can act as Rondon’s foil and perhaps long-term replacement, leading Newcastle’s line and harrowing opposition with his movement, pace as well as clinical touch, he’d thrive even more.

If the Magpies start showing ambition, they could make the Spaniard rethink his future. For that, they need to make prominent signings and bring in some big names to give them a chance at challenging a top-half finish next season. Oddly enough, Rondon is probably that.

Losing a deadly striker like Perez could be catastrophic for Newcastle’s future. It’d be relatively impossible to sign an industrial figure like him for cheap, as his departure would undo all of Benitez’s recent good work. Alongside Rondon too, perhaps the Toon Army could lose 2/3 of their Three Amigos, leaving poor old Miguel Almiron all by himself for his first full campaign on Tyneside.

Isn’t worth thinking about.

Youri Tielemans has been fantastic for Leicester since arriving on loan from Monaco in January. He started life under Claude Puel superbly, but now he’s taken himself to another level with Brendan Rodgers at the helm.

There has been speculation over the Belgian’s future with Arsenal and Tottenham being revealed to be in the race to sign him this summer, according to The Daily Star.

However, after comments made by Gary Neville claiming the Foxes would struggle to hold onto the player, Leicester supporters have taken aim at the former Manchester United man. They were responding to a thread on Twitter after an article on the Leicester Mercury website.

One fan asked what the situation had to do with the Sky Pundit, whilst another told the former Man United man to not be such a misery.

A further supporter went as far as saying the pundit’s views were dinosaur thinking, slamming the remarks made by the ex-player on television last Sunday.

Tielemans has been a revelation since setting foot in the Midlands, scoring three goals and assisting a further four.

Here’s the best of the reaction.

Who would have expected Fulham to be where there are now at this stage of the season?

April has only just begun, yet Fulham have already been confirmed relegated from the Premier League after just one season back in the top-flight and after a pre-season that saw the west London club spend close to £100 million on new players.

Fulham’s capitulation has been unpleasant viewing for neutrals, but their relegation provides a unique opportunity for Premier League clubs this upcoming transfer window.

With many of the Cottagers’ highest-paid players set to leave this summer, teams could find themselves with new first-team players on the cheap, and West Ham have already been linked with a move for one of Fulham’s prized assets, Aleksandar Mitrovic.

The Serbian striker has been one of the few bright spots for Fulham this season, scoring 10 goals in the league, and according to the Mirror, West Ham have their sights set on the former Newcastle frontman.

With the Hammers in need of a striker this summer, Mitrovic might just be too good an option for Manuel Pellegrini and the West Ham transfer committee to simply ignore.

Valued at £25 million on Transfermarkt, it is likely Fulham will sell the striker for a fee around this range, making Mitrovic a cheap signing for David Gold and David Sullivan, as well as being a player who ticks all the boxes for what the Hammers want from a frontman.

A force in the air, smart to break through defences, a great finisher and young enough to still grow, Mitrovic would be a great signing for West Ham this summer, and now it is up to the club to make it happen before other clubs come in for the Serbian striker.

The London Stadium needs a striking hero and Mitrovic could certainly be that, if used correctly.

West Ham fans, would you back a move for Mitrovic? If not, why not? Join the discussion by commenting below…
