LATEST NEWS
Manchester United has missed the one to point to Jadon Sancho.

But the Red Devils refused to fulfill their 108 million pound order.
And this morning, nothing had been announced and Dortmund announced that the winger component of his team will travel to Switzerland to prepare for the next season.
Lucien Favre will put his players to the test at an educational camp in the Swiss city of Bad Ragaz.

COP OUT
Copenhagen head coach Stale Solbakken has admitted that his team will want to be “perfect” to beat Manchester United.
He said: “To do this, we have to play perfectly.
“We want some luck. We might want a United that doesn’t pull all the cylinders.”
“We have to be the best defensive.
“We have that or two or three opportunities we have in a game like this.”
POG HAIR
Paul Pogba has worked more on the court to make up for lost time, revealed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Speaking to the club website, he said: “I’ve answered numerous questions on Paul, and we’re delighted that he’s back playing.
“He’s fit, he loves his football.
“Of course you have to make up time and try to do it.
“Also, he trains, he has a wonderful personality in and around the place, and hopefully we can see him lift this trophy [as] he has done before.”
Come and get me
Manchester United has put a booking plan in place if Jadon Sancho’s at Old Trafford fails.
This comes in the form of Bayern Munich’s Kingsley Coman, according to the Evening Standard.
Coman is unlikely to appear in Munich next season, with Leroy Sane joining the Bundesliga champions.
And as a result, Manchester United is contemplating a loan deal, Bayern Munich prefers to sell directly.
D-DAY
It’s a huge day for Manchester United, as Dortmund’s deadline for getting an offer for Jadon Sancho expires tonight.
The German team is back in pre-season this week and expects Sancho to be there.
Dortmund is also willing to move on from its requested value of 108 million pounds at this time and would be disappointed if United implied the value they would be willing to pay, says Kaveh Solhekol of Sky Sports.
However, he also stated that United will never be in a more powerful position to point to Sancho, as all clubs have been excluded from the market due to the coronavirus.
He added that United was looking for Sancho, Sancho was looking for a signing for United and some other Champions League season to Dortmund, as it was not enough to convince him to stay.
GOOD MORNING FANS UNITED,
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will have to let one of his goalkeepers pass – Dean Henderson does not facilitate the Position of No. 1.
David De Gea is under pressure after a series of errors, while Henderson has had two successful seasons on loan at Sheffield United.
Neither he nor De Gea needs to be substitutes and Sergio Romero will be the third choice.
Before United’s Europa League quarter-finals against Copenhagen night, Solskjaer said: “It will be difficult to keep three of them, so let’s see what the resolution is.
“I have to be the world’s top privileged technician with our goalkeeper department.
Sergio, David and, with Dean Henderson’s back-up, it’s three goalkeepers.
“The Europa League also demonstrated how vital Sergio was to us, and David has been performing.
“We’ll see what we do in the future.”
Solskjaer shared his optimism that Paul Pogba will signal a new contract at United.
Pogba’s existing agreement at Old Trafford expires next summer, however, SunSport reported last month that it was close to accepting some other five-year extension.
And Solskjaer added: “Since he returned from the injury, it has been a pleasure.
“He’s worked very hard, he’s satisfied and he’s playing well.
“We’ll see Paul in the next two seasons, I’m sure.
“And I can’t wait to see him grow up with this team.
“He will have to be one of the leaders, one of the great figures, because he is achieving his best moment as a footballer at 27.
“I am really looking forward to working with him.”
Eventually, Tahith Chong could head to the Bundesliga with Man Utd in a position to let the winger register on loan at Werder Bremen.
Chong reportedly, 20, held talks with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on Friday after appearing in United’s Europa League against LASK.
According to the Daily Mail, Bremen is ahead of signing a two-year loan deal to Chong.
PAUL IN
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is confident that Paul Pogba will sign a new contract at Manchester United.
Pogba’s existing agreement at Old Trafford expires next summer, however, SunSport reported last month that it was close to accepting some other five-year extension.
Speaking about the Europa League quarter-final match with Copenhagen, United manager Solskjaer hinted that Pogba’s long run is in Manchester.
“Since he returned from injury, it has been a pleasure,” Solskjaer said.
“He’s worked very hard, he’s satisfied and he’s playing well.
“We are going to see the best of Paul in the next couple of seasons, I’m sure.
“And I can’t wait to see him grow up with this team.
“He will have to be one of the leaders, one of the great figures, because he is achieving his best moment as a footballer at 27.
“I’m looking ahead to run with him.”
JEEPERS KEEPERS
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has warned that Manchester United will not enter next season with David de Gea’s 3rd, Sergio Romero and Dean Henderson.
He said: “The put festival is good. We have Sergio, David and Dean there with David supporting them.
“It’s going to be hard to stay 3 at the club. So let’s see what the resolution is.
ITALIAN WORK
Inter Milan legend Andreas Brehme believes his former team and Bayer Leverkusen are great favourites for United for the Europa League this season.
“I have no doubt, for me it’s the Inter,” he told the Gazzetta dello Sport.
“The nerazzurri are a perfect team, even though Bayer Leverkusen is strong and has a perfect striker like Havertz, Conte’s team takes the lead.
“I’d say, whoever wins this game has a great chance of raising the Europa League. The semi-final against either Shakhtar Donetsk or Basel is winnable.
“In the other aspect of the rank, Manchester United will qualify for the final. But Inter and Bayer are more powerful than the English club.
SOLAIRE RESEARCH
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has admitted that winning the Europa League would be one of his greatest achievements in his career.
He said: “I’m ambitious, and one of my dreams is the trophy as a coach of this club.
“This would be the proudest of my life.”
THE DEVIL CAN TAKE CARE OF HIMSELF
Borussia Dortmund have moved to quell rumors that Jadon Sancho is about to move to Manchester United after being in the UK.
The Bundesliga team will travel to Switzerland next week for a pre-season education camp and the club’s media and communications director said it was normal for the English star to return home.
Sascha Fligge said: “It is not unusual and smart for players to move from home before the education camp if they are risky.
“The same goes for Jadon [Sancho]. From our point of view, the photographs they have shown us do not violate that way.”
TEAM GOALS
Manchester United reached Germany in the Europa League quarter-finals.
They face Copenhagen after overtaking LASK with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer now facing the main team’s decisions.
So far, he has used the festival to offer game time to marginal players.
But with a United favorite to lift the trophy, Solskjaer started with his most powerful team.
This is how they line up …
RON IN ITS HISTORY WAY
Cristiano Ronaldo lives for the story, and after the record season, there are only 30 goals left to succeed in the all-time milestone to which he aspires to the maximum: Pelé’s 767 goals.
Ron rose to 737 when his double in Friday’s 2-1 win over Lyon failed to save Juventus from a surprising goals kick in the Champions League.
Pelé has scored 1,286 goals in 1,363 games, making him the guy who excels in the Guinness Book of Records.
But 519 of the targets were in friendly, so they don’t count for the official crown.
That means 35-year-old Portuguese superstar Ronaldo will actually succeed in the most sensible way in two years: his wonderful rival Lionel Messi, 33, ranks fifth on the list with 717.
Former Real Madrid and Manchester United leder Ron has said he can play until he is 40.
NOT SO KOUL
Micah Richards has claimed that United’s goal, Kalidou Koulibaly, will be 20 million pounds less after his horror in the Napoli Champions League defeat to Barcelona.
He told the Manchester Evening News: “I think it’s worth 20 million pounds less.
‘Everyone talks about how it’s meant to be made up of the ball, it’s competitive, but I see similarities to Mangala, and he went to City and didn’t paint for him there, so I’m not entirely convinced after that performance. Matrix »
TA TA TAHITH
Tahith Chong may head to the Bundesliga with Manchester United in a position to let the winger sign for Werder Bremen on loan.
Chong, 20, is reported to have had talks with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on Friday, following his appearance in United’s Europa League game against LASK.
The Netherlands-born winger made a 25-minute appearance as a substitute during United’s 2-1 win against the Austrian club on Thursday.
And the Dutch under-21 international, who has played nine Europa and Premier league appearances, needs more minutes to his credit.
According to the Daily Mail, Bremen is ahead of signing a two-year loan deal to Chong.
However, the loan rates and salary would still be finalized.
Werder’s sporting director Frank Baumann said: “If we’re in reverse, that’s the case. We’re under discussion.
“There are several parties involved. There are still things that want to be clarified and we have to agree. For now, that’s the case.”
HERRE MAJESTAD
Ander Herrera scored astonishingly above in the education of Paris Saint-Germain after being configured in a way through Neymar.
And the duo certainly hopes to reflect the sensational purpose when faced with the Atalanta this week.
As arrangements continue for the quarter-finals of the Ligue 1 Giants’ Champions League on Wednesday, Herrera claimed an opening place with his good-looking one-stroke with his supposedly weaker left foot.
Herrera, 30, went to Instagram to share the clip with her 3.8 million followers.
He wrote, “When you have your left foot and you’re 30 years old…” followed by head-to-hand and tongue-out emojis.
Neymar stood above the dead ball on the D, rubbing his hands with emotion, but before firing himself, he produced a sublime ability to lift it up and then put it back on his head.
And Herrera endured at the best time to provoke unstoppable training, without giving the goalkeeper a chance.

MAN U ON BOARD
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his Manchester United team have taken off for Cologne in their pursuit of Europa League glory.
He posed for a hidden organizational photo on the steps of the plane before boarding at Manchester Airport on Sunday.
Then many players were damaged once they boarded.
The next stop for the red devils is Germany.
And they hope to return in a fortnight with the Europa League trophy for the time being in four seasons.
United beat LASK in the final round and will face Copenhagen on Monday night in their first-leg quarter-final match in the restructured round of 16.
VAN DER STAR
CRISIS IN PARIS?
Cristiano Ronaldo’s agent is expected to face Paris Saint-Germain for a possible unexpected transfer, according to sensational reports in France.
Despite the impact of the coronavirus, French giants would be desperate to strengthen on the ground.
This would have led to talks between Agent Jorge Mendes and PSG’s sporting director, Leonardo.
Mendes, who represents the PSG target, James Rodriguez, of course would be willing to come to an agreement.
And Le10 Sport believes the duo is in talks to talk about a massive movement by five-time Juventus winner Ballon d’Or.
The report adds that they will take credit for the Champions League festival in Lisbon to meet Ronaldo on the agenda.
LIL ANGEL
Lille has signed Angel Gomes to Manchester United.
The English teenager has been loaned to Portuguese Boavista.
Gomes left Old Trafford after 14 years at the club, but made only six Premier League appearances that time.
The 19-year-old left Old Trafford a month after talks on a new contract failed.
Lille moved temporarily after promoting Victor Omishen to Naples for 60 million pounds.
But they expect you to have game time in Portugal before being part of your plans for the first team.

He beat two defenders from the left of the area sensationally before crossing for Konev to play home.
