POGB-AHHH
Paul Pogba brought a fan to the brink of tears as they talked about his Premier League dream.
The 27-year-old Manchester United star met a young fan while in a place to eat, sharing the full assembly on Instagram.
Clearly defeated by the encounter with his idol, young Luke is on the verge of tears as he and Pogba talk about the concept of playing together one day.
Pogba joked that he himself was about to cry after reuniting the aspiring right-back, who described his verbal exchange as “so crazy.”
During their conversation, Pogba asked if he would play with him or with him.
Although he would “love” to play together, the boy joked that “I would win” if they ever played in opposite fields, after regaining his composure.
At the end of the candy clip, Pogba hit Luke.
MADD TO GO
James Maddison has signed a new contract in Leicester to end rumours of a move from Manchester United.
The 23-year-old England gamemaker, however, has put the pen on paper over the deal that binds him to King Power until 2024.
And it will be a hammer blow to all of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s hopes of pointing to the former star of Coventry and Norwich.
Addressing LCFC.com, Maddison said: “I am very pleased to sign a new contract for this football club.
“It’s an incredibly exciting time to be a Leicester City player with so many things happening on and off the court and I’m extremely happy to be a part of it.
“What we have achieved as a club this season is a big step forward for us and I know there is much more to come from this team. I have enjoyed every moment since I arrived in Leicester City.
“The enthusiasts have been amazing to me and we have a fantastic group of players in this locker room who are determined to show what we can do in combination in Europe and the Premier League next season.”
LIN’S PROBLEM
Man Utd star Victor Lindelof this morning sued an alleged bicycle thief who stole a handbag from a woman in the 1990s in Vasteras.
Lindelof, 26, reportedly dated his wife Maja around 10:30 a.m. when a man snatched a bag from an old woguy’s walker.
According to Sportbladet, the Red Devils star took the initiative to chase the assailant, retrieve the bag and hold the attacker until the police arrived.
One said: “The police would like to thank the witness for a quick and practical intervention to repair the whistleblower’s property.”
And a Manchester United spokesman added: “He ran after the thief and retrieved the bag by resorting to violence.
“Victor thinks he’s just doing what anyone would have done in this situation.”
The alleged thief, a guy about 30, was later released, but faces charges of “aggravated robbery” and “minor drug-related offenses.”
FOOT CHALLENGE
This is how the off-season compares to the Big Six before a busy Premier League season.
United has the shortest break for Liverpool, with Manchester City one more day, while Arsenal has the shortest resting period.
Chelsea and Spurs, by comparison, laugh to the beach bar.
FAT CONTROL
Man Utd is in a position to squander 153 million pounds on Ansu Fati before Barcelona awards him a new contract that includes a 360 million pound termination clause, according to reports.
The Red Devils refused to meet Borussia Sancho’s 108 million pound rating by Borussia Sancho earlier this month.
Instead, the club’s leaders filed between 60 and 70 million pounds in advance, and the rest was paid in installments.
But United would be willing to pay forty-five million pounds extra for Fati, says Mundo Deportivo.
Even at the age of 17, Fati’s name will not continue until after his shooting season at the Camp Nou.
The extreme young man temporarily placed himself on the list of the “untouchables” of Barcelona, together with his compatriot Riqui Puig.
HEART OF PALLY AKE
Gary Pallister believes United failed in a bigger central defense for Nathan Ake.
Pallister told Compare.bet: “I like Ake’s look, but the City hired him in a dazzling way because he looked like a genuine athletic midstick who was comfortable with the ball and was looking to get out of the last 4 and move on. I’d like to see someone like him sign up for the team.
But I think that’s a position that Ole will take a look at, you know, it was given to some other people who come back.
“Chris Smalling is coming back, Red is coming back, Phil Jones is there, Bailly, Lindelof, they can’t all be happy, so there will be some who will leave and Ole has which.
“In the most sensible part of that, I think he’s going to go out and get another central medium.”
That’s what she said.
Random United enthusiasts seem to be anywhere.
Julia Roberts, Tyson Fury and Rory McIlroy are Red Devils fans.
But no Pam comes from the U.S. office.
Jenna Fischer shared a Lego sculpture in her Instagram stories of the old Trafford construction.

Mall
Chris Smalling will press for a permanent exit from Manchester United, he reports.
The 30-year-old central no longer needs to fight for first-team football after receiving a transfer at AS Roma, where he is a starting defender.
Newcastle, Everton, West Ham and Fulham are interested in the former central England on loan or permanently.

The Foxes to tie him to an expensive long-term deal after Maddison inspired last season in the Premier League.
Leicester is desperately not presenting itself as a sales club, but faces a war to continue to be sought by Ben Chilwell through Chelsea.
Maddison scored nine goals with 3 assists last season when Brendan Rodgers failed by little in the Champions League.
STILL FANCY JACK?

Grealish has been valued through Aston Villa at around a million pounds and here are his statistics opposed to United Premier League midfielders.
UNITED ACCESSORIES
Here are the Red Devils’ first Premier League games, as well as their fights opposite the other “Big Six”.
‘TARA MATE
Wayne Rooney recalled how United came close to signing Thiago Alcántara in the notorious summer of David Moyes’ takeover at the club.
He said: “He almost made it to United in 2013 and now Liverpool is connected to him. He’s one of the midfielders, I just hope he doesn’t go!”
“You can take the ball, rest easy, change things, and you’ll put your foot on it.
“He’s a flexible midfielder, really, with a little bit of everything.
“He supports this Bayern press and falls between the central halves to take the ball, but he can also aim at them when they play on the other surface.”
“He’s a gambler. It would be watching him in the Premier League, actually.
ROO EN DI MARIA
Rooney added in his Sunday Times column: “At the time, we were going through an era of transition and it was difficult for him to settle down.
“He had little children and lived a few houses away from me and tried to scare him away.
“I don’t forget that he shook him and his family.
“From then on, really, you knew it was going to be difficult for him and probably bigger for him to leave.
STOLEN FROM HIS TALENT
Wayne Rooney blamed the break-in of Angel Di Maria’s home for his unhappy manchester united destination, and begged Thiago Alcantara to snub Liverpool.
The Argentine star, now one of the Paris Saint-Germain World Cups, has spent only one season, below par at Old Trafford.
In his Sunday Times column, Rooney wrote: “He’s a gambler.
When he arrived at United, Louis van Gaal would tell the team, “He’s the only one who can dribble with the ball.”
Angel works tirelessly on the frame and his performance, vision and are brilliant.
“He may have been a big star at United.”
ADAPTED AND WOOD

“After the Champions League final in Moscow, it’s the maximum I’ve ever consumed.
“I stood up with a fan who came into the party and dressed worse the next morning.
“I ended up showering in my suit and missed the flight home. When you win, you get away with it.”
I’M NOT A FAN
Manchester United enthusiasts have revealed their love for Ander Herrera after swearing after the final defeat of the Paris Saint-Germain Champions League to Bayern Munich.
The Spaniard was excellent that night, but ended up in the wear and tear appearance when Kingsley Coman took the most of the game in the middle of the moment.
And he couldn’t hide his frustrations when asked about the joy of playing in an empty stadium.
The 31-year-old replied: “It sucks, horrible. For me, fans are the key to this sport, they are the ultimate in football.
“Football fans are nothing.
“I hope everyone realizes that football is for the hobby. The corporate had to continue because it’s a corporate.
Let’s do LAUT
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is tracking Lautaro Martínez del Inter, according to reports.
