Manchester United transfer news: Red Devils ‘join race’ for £60million-rated Arsenal and Liverpool target Nicolas Pepe

Manchester United have become the latest Premier League club to express interest in Lille superstar Nicolas Pepe, reports claim.


The 23-year-old forward, who has emerged as one of Ligue 1’s brightest stars, has also caught the attention of Arsenal and Liverpool.

According to the Daily Express, United have identified the Ivorian as a potential replacement for Romelu Lukaku, whose future at Old Trafford looks increasingly uncertain.


Lukaku is expected to follow Paul Pogba out of the Old Trafford exit door this summer, with Juventus and Inter Milan both reportedly keen on luring the striker to Italy.


Pepe has taken Ligue 1 by storm this season, with only Paris Saint-Germain’s Kylian Mbappe ahead of him in the goalscoring charts.















Lille look set to finish second in the French top flight, thanks largely to the form of Pepe, and the club are already resigned to the prospect of losing him this summer.

“All clubs are forced to balance their accounts except perhaps one. I would say yes, it is sure he [Pepe] will leave.


“He enters a price range that can no longer be paid. There is a career choice to make for him, I think he will have the choice.”


Pepe is under contract with Lille until the summer of 2022. It is understood the club value him at £60million.

He will become the second Asian footballer to feature in a Champions League final after Park Ji-sung played for Manchester United in their 3-1 defeat to Barcelona in 2011.


Son’s army of fans will have to wake up at 4am on Sunday to watch him in Madrid.


He said: “Everyone is going to watch the game so I’m really, really excited to play.

“It’s a late kick-off time, or rather an early time in the morning back at home.











“It’s not that easy. I did it a few times when I was a child, but it’s not that easy.


“You go to sleep early and you wake up at four o’clock or whatever. Some people have to go to work. That’s why I always give 100 per cent.”


Son, Tottenham’s Player of the Year, will be hoping to add to his 20-goal tally against Liverpool and lift his first piece of silverware with Spurs this weekend.

David de Gea: Manchester United goalkeeper ‘can play at Barcelona and Manchester City’, insists former Red Devils coach

David de Gea is good enough to play for both Barcelona and Manchester City, according to former Manchester United goalkeeping coach Frans Hoek.


De Gea has come under fire after a number of high-profile mistakes this season, with the Spaniard struggling to replicate his usual high standard of performances.

However, Hoek, who worked with De Gea during Louis van Gaal’s tenure at Old Trafford, believes the goalkeeper still has the pedigree to play for some of the biggest clubs in the world.


Speaking to Marca this week, Hoek suggested that the 28-year-old could shine elsewhere, should he choose to, saying: “I worked with him for two years at Manchester and I must say that he has an impressive level.


“It’s not easy to play three games a week as England demands, and to be up to the task.

“More so because there anyone can beat anyone. And he gets it.


“That’s why it’s not normal for him to see some errors with his selection. De Gea can play at Barcelona, Manchester City etc, because he has quality with his feet and many other qualities.”

Should the Spain goalkeeper put pen-to-paper on a new deal at Old Trafford, he will participate in the Europa League next season after United failed to land a top-four spot in the Premier League.


Chelsea became the third team to book their place in next season’s Champions League, after Manchester City and Liverpool, while Spurs are in pole position to claim the final spot heading into the final day of the season.

Football: Italian legend Fabio Cannavaro named new coach of China

Football: Italian legend Fabio Cannavaro named new coach of China

SHANGHAI (AFP) - Italian World Cup-winning captain Fabio Cannavaro was named coach of China on Friday (March 15), spearheading the ambitious country's attempts to become a footballing force.
It was not immediately clear if the former Juventus and Real Madrid star will lead the team on a temporary or permanent basis - Chinese media speculated that the upcoming China Cup may amount to a job audition.
The 45-year-old former defender will combine the job with being coach of Chinese Super League (CSL) giants Guangzhou Evergrande, making him one of the most powerful figures in Chinese football history.
He takes the post vacated in January by his mentor and compatriot Marcello Lippi, under whom Cannavaro lifted the World Cup in 2006.
The 70-year-old Lippi will be a consultant under the new coaching set-up named for next week's China Cup, the Chinese Football Association (CFA) said.
"The association has carefully made this decision based on comprehensive research of his experience and technical and tactical style, familiarity with Chinese players and other factors," the CFA said.
Cannavaro's first match in charge of the national side will be next Thursday, when the hosts play Thailand in the China Cup, which also involves Uruguay and Uzbekistan.
Cannavaro carries the hopes of a nation that has grand plans but little in the way of footballing success or pedigree, having qualified for the World Cup only once, in 2002.
Xi Jinping, China's football-mad president, has vowed to make the country of 1.4 billion people a heavyweight in the sport and wants to host a World Cup one day.
But China are a lowly 72nd in the Fifa rankings, sandwiched between Macedonia and El Salvador, underlining the scale of the task facing Cannavaro.
The Italian knows Chinese football well, having coached Tianjin Quanjian in 2016-2017, before taking the Evergrande job in November 2017.
However, he failed to guide Evergrande to an eighth successive CSL title last season.
And he inherits a China squad who were beaten 3-0 by Iran in the quarter-finals of the Asian Cup at the start of the year and who have little in the way of world-class talent.
Five members of Lippi's Asian Cup squad were from Evergrande and the CFA has decided that Cannavaro's familiarity with them can help improve the national team.
There are reservations, however, about Cannavaro's pedigree.
While a decorated player, his only notable achievement as a coach was getting Tianjin promoted to the CSL and then securing Asian Champions League football for them for the first time.
After Evergrande were beaten 3-1 by unfancied South Koreans Daegu in the AFC Champions League on Tuesday, the Oriental Sports Daily asked: "With the current record of Cannavaro, can Chinese fans trust him?"
Lippi, who quit after the Asian Cup, was widely praised for his spell in charge, despite the exit to Iran and a lack of goals.
There is a general feeling among fans and media that China simply do not have the players to do much better.
Lippi won 12 of his 31 matches in charge.

Manchester United 2019/20 kit: Images of leaked third shirt will bring back memories for Red Devils fans

It looks like Manchester United will wear a black shirt for the first time in two seasons after images of their third design for 2019/20 were leaked online.


The third kit has gone in the completely opposite direction from the pink number released at the start of the current season and has been given the bespoke treatment to produce a clean, simple look.

It is very hard to go wrong with a black kit and when done correctly will appear stylish and sleek and that is what adidas have managed to do perfectly, as shown by Footy Headlines.


The Chevrolet writing and the Kohler sponsor print on the left sleeve are white, while the club badge and adidas logo are completed in a shade of orange/red trim.















A closer look at the new shirt, reveals a a subtle all-over print inspired by the Manchester Rose and printed on the bottom are the words: ‘110 Years – Manchester Rose – 1909 2019’.

It could also be his last match in charge of the club with speculation linking him to the Juventus job, while some media outlets are reporting he already has an agreement in place.


Their preparations for the match have been fraught with Sarri storming out of their training session the day before the final throwing and kicking his own baseball cap.











It seemed to have been sparked after an altercation between David Luiz and Gonzalo Higuain.


Here at talkSPORT.com we have taken a look at how the Blues could line-up for the game.

The defence is unlikely to change from the last few weeks of the season, mainly because Sarri doesn’t have many other options.


His best two fit central defenders are David Luiz and Andreas Christensen with Antonio Rudiger out injured and Gary Cahill out of favour.


At full-back, Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta have been first choice all season and, arguably, are the most reliable part of the team.


The midfield and attack is where things get a little more stretched for the manager.

N’Golo Kante is struggling with a knee injury and is said to be 50/50. He might be on the bench but it remains to be seen if he will be risked starting the match.


Ruben Loftus-Cheek picked up a serious ankle injury in Chelsea’s post-season charity friendly in America and is out for at least a year.


Sarri will have little option but to play Jorginho, Mateo Kovacic and Ross Barkley in midfield if he wants to stick with his favoured formation.
