“Your current contract expires next summer, however, United is still placing this year’s option to insert this year’s option, to get caught up in loose transfers.
“Then United, it must be said, is in a better position to negotiate with people like Paul Pogba and the return of Dean Henderson from “Sheffield United, after the departure of Alexis Sanchez, now his salary has been released.”
“It turns out that there is a will in the component of all components to agree on Pogba.”
STATISTICS BEFORE SEVILLE
Here are some facts before Sunday’s Game for Spaniards.

VINNY CHASE
Vinicius Junior is about to fit a goal for Manchester United if they recruit Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund.
They may encounter a white brick wall even before they negotiate.
Real Madrid Vinicius will be his young asset, with a termination clause of 633 million pounds on him.
Central Defense claims United is Vinicius and has already “asked questions” about the 20-year-old winger.
The report adds that the Brazilian would “completely reject” United because he stayed at the Bernabeu and fought for his place.
Zinedine Zidane is very happy with the player, who has earned his first name in Spain.
MUSTANG SALI
Southampton reportedly beat Manchester United to point to Mohammed Salisu.
The Santos have won the defense of Real Valladolid for only 10.8 million pounds due to a clause in their contract.
Salisu had his medical examination in Spain before traveling to England, at MailOnline.
But the 21-year-old had to be quarantined for 14 days after his arrival in the country.
His move to the Premier League by 10.8 million pounds could be announced on Wednesday.
Discover
Manchester United may be in a position for an ordinary and ambitious offer by Kai Havertz if his search for Jadon Sancho fails.
The Red Devils are willing to spend a lot on the tip of England, but they run into the value of Borussia Dortmund’s 108 million pounds.
And, according to the Manchester Evening News, it is possible that simply Havertz, as Chelsea is the favourite to sign.
The Blues, the offensive midfielder, scored 18 goals for Bayer Leverkusen last season.
But at the beginning of the summer, United was connected to the young German.
Cooling
David De Gea shared a photo of him and Paul Pogba United’s education consultation in Germany.
IT’S THE RIGHT CUT
Rio Ferdinand subsidized Manchester United to point to Jadon Sancho.
He told BBC Five Live: “Manchester United will be in the market for the most productive players. It’s fantastic.
“If it arrives, it will be an added price in terms of quality.
“Manchester United wants the most sensitive players who are going to have an effect on their first eleven and I think Jadon Sancho is in that category.
“If you look at the Manchester United groups that have been a success over the years, the periods of success, there were players who fought for each position and if you replaced one and brought one, there is no replacement in quality or performance. “
CASH RELIEF
Premier League clubs have an additional 170 million pounds for this season, after delayed clubs pay on Covid-19 TV.
Domestic and foreign broadcasters have forced Prem clubs to settle for a refund of around 330 million pounds for the closure of three months.
This despite the resumption of the League in June and its brooch last month.
It was originally planned that 170 million pounds of this season’s expected revenue would be paid, a hit for clubs to start the next period behind closed doors.
While the cash has not yet been paid, all 20 clubs voted for a cash refund for this mandate.
Instead, refunds will now be paid over the next two seasons to give a special touch to players such as Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal.
This will save Liverpool champions around 21 million pounds for their 2019-2020 accounts, Jurgen Klopp’s team will charge around 174 million pounds for the campaign.
Today
United signed this man.
The only one, the iconic: Cristiano Ronaldo.
TIME FOR REVENGE?
So it’s Sevilla in the Europa League semi-finals for United.
They will be out for revenge after their Champions League exit at the hands of the Spaniards in 2018.
That was a dour evening at Old Trafford under Jose Mourinho, with United losing 2-1 at the Theatre of Dreams.
But they only had a chance in the second leg because David De Gea pulled off perhaps his last wonderful performance for the Red Devils during a 0-0 draw at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan.
Remember this save?
David de Gea did a madness vs Sevilla!

WILL HE OR WON’T HE?
SunSport’s United fan columnist Tom McDermott has aired his thoughts on the Jadon Sancho situation.

ID PLEASE
Chelsea fans are loving Juan Mata’s Uefa ID, which has him photographed in a Blues kit!
That is despite the Manchester United midfielder leaving Stamford Bridge for Old Trafford in 2014.
IN FOR THE DYL
Highly-rated young midfielder Dylan Levitt is reportedly set to leave Manchester United on loan this summer.
The Manchester Evening News claims Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is ready to give the 19-year-old minutes away from Old Trafford in a bid to boost his development.
Levitt, a regular in Ryan Giggs’ Wales set-up, starred for United’s Under-23s this season.
And he made his first senior appearance under Solskjaer during last November’s Europa League defeat to Astana.
However, the route to a regular first-team spot is tough.
And Levitt now looks set to leave on loan, with a number of Championship clubs believed to be keen but the prodigy is also believed to be open to a move abroad.
BEST CHANCE CREATORS
Here are how the most creative players in the Premier League are able to carve out chances.
OUS NEXT ON OUR LIST?
Manchester United will reportedly turn to Ousmane Dembele if they fail to land Jadon Sancho.
Bayern Munich star Kingsley Coman and Juventus ace Douglas Costa are both also on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s radar.
The Borussia Dortmund star, 20, remains their top target, but the move is looking increasingly unlikely.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been forced to consider alternative options to Sancho.
According to ESPN, United have held informal talks over a move for Dembele.
Barcelona are allegedly open to offers for the 23-year-old following his underwhelming three year spell in Spain.
SANCHO ‘WON’T HAND IN REQUEST’
Jadon Sancho will NOT hand in a transfer request, according to David Ornstein.
He said in the Tifo Football podcast: “Dortmund are in a strong situation contractually.
“I don’t think Jadon Sancho is the type to rock the boat unless he was desperate to move and I’ve not had any indication he is desperate to move.
“He is a highly professional footballer… and I’m sure he’ll carry on playing for Dortmund.
“He is [Manchester United’s] top target, let’s not forget. They do have back-up options, some of those options might be as a permanent deal, some might be on loan.
“One of those options is Douglas Costa of Juventus. So it’s not Jadon Sancho or bust, but he is their top target.”
SANCHO LATEST
Jadon Sancho may have to force a move to Manchester United – after being left in a frustrating limbo, writes NEIL CUSTIS.
The Borussia Dortmund winger, 20, had his heart set on a switch to Old Trafford, believing last week that the deal could get done.
It has now hit a brick wall leaving Sancho feeling helpless – and faced with the dilemma of putting in a transfer request or demanding to leave.
United have been left frustrated by the player’s representatives as well as Dortmund’s refusal to deal with them directly.
The German club have appointed an agent as an intermediary to negotiate with United and have rejected their offer of £70million rising to £110m based on honours and appearances.
Sancho’s representatives have also snubbed United’s contract bid.
