JIMENEZ TO UTD?

SEE ITS SOUND

After Barcelona’s 8-2 defeat to Bayern Munich, he wrote in the Times: “Lionel Messi seemed like a tired guy to dress up with this team; without him, they wouldn’t even be smart enough to qualify for the Champions League.
“It would be the best week to make a special offer for the 33-year-old Argentine and you might see him play against Manchester United or City.”
LITTLE FUTUR
Inter Milan is expected to succeed in Manchester United’s 20 million pound order for Chris Smalling.
The defender spent the season on loan at Roma and Inter coach Antonio Conte is ready to bring him back to Serie A.
Smalling, 30, has rejected Newcastle’s chance of signing this summer as he considers returning to Italy.
It would be the fourth time in the 12 months that Inter hired a Man United player after Romelu Lukaku, Alexis Sanchez and Ashley Young.
CHONG TRAIN WITH A NEW CLUB
Tahith Chong is at Werder Bremen before moving on to loan to the Bundesliga team.
The 20-year-old winger will spend the next season in Germany after seizing the first-team’s chances at Manchester United.
The Dutch under-21 national has played 16 times for United in 2019-20, but has played three Premier League games.
Werder Bremen tweeted: “Although the final terms of his movement have not yet been agreed, Tahith Chong has been given permission to exercise with the club and will therefore be enrolled in this morning’s session.”
LAST KOULIBALY
Manchester United will seek three defenses this summer to finance the signing of Napoli Central Kalidou Koulibaly.
Chris Smalling, Phil Jones and Marcos Rojo are on sale as United seeks to finance a million-pound move for the Senegal international.

Koulibaly allowed him to leave Naples on the condition that the requested value be reached.
NEW NEED FOR BLOOD
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has implored Manchester United’s chief executive, Ed Woodward, to spend cash for his team this summer.
Solskjaer speaking before United’s Europa League semi-final with Sevilla tonight.
He said: “We keep growing, of course we are, but we are not the finished article. Far.
“We have to go through as much as we can in this tournament. I think we all realize that we’re in a special moment in history.
“But it’s going to stretch all the groups and it means you want a wonderful team for next season.
“You have to plan ahead. It’s not just 11, 12 or thirteen players. You have to have 19, 20, 21 or 22 of which you depend on because if you play every and every 3 days for a full year, it will be complicated mentally and physically.”
LAST HENDERSON
Dean Henderson is determined to take up the starting spot at Manchester United next season.
The 23-year-old is stuck in negotiations on a new contract after finishing his one-season loan at Sheffield United.
The Red Devils are able to offer Henderson a salary increase of 60,000 euros per week to make sure the goalkeeper is compatible with his long career at the club.
However, Henderson believes he did enough last season in the Premier League to prove he deserves a race for Man United and Sheffield United’s 18.5 million pound move to Aaron Ramsdale makes a return to Bramall Lane unlikely.
The current number one, David De Gea, has made a number of notable errors in the last two seasons, however, United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has repeated that he considers De Gea one of the goalkeepers in the world.
LAST LITTLE
Chris Smalling has declined to move to Newcastle, according to reports.
Manchester United’s defence was on loan last season at Roma and the Italian team is interested in returning to Serie A by season.
However, United costs about 20 million pounds for Smalling, who still has two years of contract left at 120,000 euros a week at Old Trafford.
While Newcastle manager Steve Bruce sought to get the 30-year-old to his team for the 2020–21 season, it is understood that Smalling would prefer to return to Roma, Juventus and Inter Milan are also interested.
GOOD MORNING FANS OF THE RED DEVILS

Stevanovic, 17, will remain at Partizan next season to continue his development.
But Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes the end has a long brilliant career and is willing to get his signature.
Meanwhile, Man Utd would possibly be tempted to offer Paul Pogba to Juventus as a component of a direct exchange by Paulo Dybala, according to reports.
Tuttosport says the couple could be following other instructions this summer.
Pogba has been ex-Juve for some time.
And Dybala is heavily connected with a transfer to Old Trafford last year.
Finally, Sevilla manager Julen Lopetegui believes we’ve seen the Manchester United team in recent years.
The two are measured tonight in the semi-finals of the Europa League.
He said: “I think this United is the United of the last few years, they have discovered their football.
“They haven’t lost since January in the Premier League, which is such a competitive league, and they’re in the right place.
“They are a team in general in many ways, with wonderful strength and will force us to play a wonderful game if necessary to compete with them.
IT’S BETTER TO CALL SAUL
Manchester United loves Atletico Madrid Saúl Niguez.
The Star says they’re offering a summer of 70 million pounds to put it alongside Bruno Fernandes and Paul Pogba.
Saul can be alone for a new adventure after Atletico’s fall from the Champions League while failing to compete for the LaLiga name last season.
NO CHILDREN

LITTLE VICTORIA
Manchester United has signed Filip Stevanovic of Partizan Belgrade for 10.9 million pounds.
The Serbian Telegraph says an agreement was reached after impressing Red Devils’ opponents at the Europa League stage.
Stevanovic, 17, will remain at Partizan next season to continue his development.
But Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes the end has a long brilliant career and is willing to get his signature.
RED DEVILS
Is that how Manchester United will line up for their Europa League semi-final, Sevilla?
BUY EXCHANGE

Tuttosport says the couple could be following other instructions this summer.
Pogba has been ex-Juve for some time.
And Dybala is heavily connected with a transfer to Old Trafford last year.
Banalities
Newcastle is at Chris Smalling of Manchester United, says Corriere dello Sport.
The 30-year-old defender spent the season on loan at Roma and played 37 games in all Serie A competitions.
Smalling still has two years of contract with United and is reportedly charged for around 20 million pounds.
Roma will most likely challenge the Magpies over Smalling’s signing after rejecting an offer of 15 million pounds before this summer, while Inter Milan was also credited with interest.
HENDERSON DISCUSSION
Manchester United is engaged in contract negotiations with goalkeeper Dean Henderson.
The 23-year-old was loaned to Sheffield United last season and has made it clear to United bosses that he will only settle for returning to Old Trafford if guaranteed an opening spot.
The Blades acted temporarily to secure a replacement with Aaron Ramsdale’s Bournemouth signing for 18.5 million pounds, suggesting that Henderson would not return to Bramall Lane.
A series of high-profile errors have called for David De Gea’s prestige as Uni number one, but his $200,000-a-week contract would make him a much-loved moment choice.
