POWELL AND VALDES RELEASED BY UNITED

Nick Powell and Victor Valdes are the two first-team players who have been released by Manchester United this summer.

powell sejak cedera ga bisa balik ke performa terbaiknya dan malah tambah sering cedera, pantaslah dia dilepas...
padahal opa pernah bilang powell bisa menjadi salah satu pemain terbaik..

kalo valdes no commentlah ya, pas dia direkrut juga menurut gw karena kasian aja..

Manchester United left as only club interested in Andre Gomes after Juventus sign Miralem Pjanic




Manchester United are now the only club left in the race to sign Valencia’s Andre Gomes following Juventus’ capture of Miralem Pjanic, according to reports.

Pjanic joined Juventus from Roma this week on a four-year contract, putting an end to speculation over his future.

Juventus had previously been linked with a move for Gomes, who scored 10 goals and registered 12 assists in 33 La Liga appearances during the 2015/16 season. But Man United are now the only club interested in the Portuguese.

Valencia would reportedly accept a bid of around £51m for the midfielder.

Gomes is a quality player who would inject a significant amount of quality into what has been a problem area for United down the years but his immediate focus will be on doing well for Portugal at Euro 2016.

It is likely that the rumours will intensify once the competition has ended, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic also reportedly set to complete a medical after fulfilling his duties for Sweden. It will certainly be an exciting ride as Mourinho looks to build a squad capable of challenging for the Premier League next season.

Manchester City line up shock move for former Manchester United keeper Victor Valdes




Manchester City are interested in a move for former Manchester United goalkeeper Victor Valdes, according to reports.

Valdes is available on a free transfer this summer after he was released by Man United. The Spaniard had been frozen out during the final months of his spell at Old Trafford due to a falling out with Louis van Gaal.

City are reportedly planning to release Willy Caballero in the summer and they have identified Valdes as a potential back-up to No.1 Joe Hart.

New City boss Pep Guardiola has worked with Valdes before – the duo won three La Liga titles and two Champions Leagues during their time together at Barcelona.

It would certainly be a shock move if Valdes did go to City as it is rare for players with United connections to make the switch across town. Owen Hargreaves and Carlos Tevez, in recent years, have irked United fans by going to the ‘noisy neighbours’.

But Valdes hardly owes anything to the club as he was treated harshly by van Gaal. That being said, if he was unhappy with not playing at United, his situation would not improve at City – it’s highly unlikely that he would displace Hart as the team’s first-choice keeper.

Raphael Varane considers Real Madrid exit amid Manchester United rumours




Rumoured Manchester United target Raphael Varane is considering his future at Real Madrid, according to Marca.

Varane joined Madrid in 2011 and he enjoyed a promising start to life at the Bernabeu under current Man United boss Jose Mourinho but he found chances harder to come by when the Portuguese left.

Zinedine Zidane dropped Varane for crucial games in the Champions League towards the end of the 2015/16 campaign, instead preferring Sergio Ramos and Pepe.

Although Zidane is said to be keen on keeping Varane, the 23-year-old is considering leaving Madrid.

Man United have already completed the signing of Eric Bailly from Villarreal this summer but reports have suggested that Mourinho wants to add another central defender to his squad and Varane would fit the bill.

United could certainly offer him a lucrative contract and a regular spot in the starting XI but it is unclear whether Varane would accept not playing in the Champions League. But if Varane is available, Mourinho should be doing all he can to bring him in as he is a top talent who would add quality depth to the squad.

Manchester United to tempt Varane to Old Trafford amid doubts over prospects at Real Madrid




French defender almost signed for Man Utd in 2011 and has fallen down the pecking order at Real Madrid.

Manchester United are set to explore the possibility of tempting Raphael Varane away from Real Madrid this summer.




Jose Mourinho has already bolstered his defence with the £25m signing of Eric Bailly from Villarreal.


But with only 40 senior appearances under his belt, doubts remain about whether the Ivory Coast centre-back is ready to be considered as first-choice ahead of his first season in the Premier League.


It has led United to consider Varane, as well as Everton’s John Stones and Juventus’ Leonardo Bonucci as possible partners for Chris Smalling at the heart of the defence.


Interest in Aymeric Laporte would appear to be dead in the water after the Frenchman signed a new four-year contract at Athletic Bilbao this week.


United will hope to exploit doubt in Varane’s mind about his future at Real Madrid.


The 23-year-old had fallen behind Pepe in the pecking order at the Bernabeu before a hamstring injury ruled him out of Euro 2016.


Reports in Marca, the Spanish newspaper with close ties to Real Madrid, suggest coach Zinedine Zidane is keen to tie down his compatriot with a new long-term contract.


But they admit Varane could be convinced to move to Old Trafford to work with his former boss Mourinho with the promise of regular first-team football.


The former Lens defender started just 14 of Real’s 34 games between December and May last season.

France star reveals Manchester United great inspires him





Antoine Griezmann says ex-Man Utd winger David Beckham is his spirit animal



France star Antoine Griezmann says he wears the No. 7 shirt for club and country...because he idolises ex-United man David Beckham!


The 25-year-old is one of the finest forwards in European football at present and was key to Atletico’s run to this season’s Champions League final.


And he says it’s Beckham that inspires his choice of number, shirt style and hair do!


“I am a massive fan of his. On the pitch he had class and off it he was always very clean and well dressed,” Griezmann said.


“I remember the 2012 Olympics in London when he was in the boat with the Olympic torch and his hair didn’t move!


“At first I wanted to have the same hairstyle, but then he had his hair long and for me it was too long to wait six months for mine to grow.


“I’ve calmed down a bit with the dyes and such but I like to change it regularly.


“I play with long sleeves because that’s what he did and I also wear the No. 7 as that was his number.


“However, it’s also true that I’m not like him because I’m quite shy, but that’s something I’m trying to improve upon and I’m working with my sister on that.”


Griezmann is currently in the France squad for the European Championships and continues to attract attention from Europe's top clubs.


United have been strongly linked in the past and Chelsea are also thought to be keen on landing him.

Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski open to Premier League move as Poland star gears up to take on Germany

• Robert Lewandowski is growing increasingly unsettled at Bayern Munich
  
• 27-year-old in talks over a contract extension but would consider a move
  
• Polish striker to line up against familiar faces as team take on Germany
• He could face as many as five of his Bayern team-mates on Thursday

Poland centre-forward Robert Lewandowski is growing increasingly unsettled at Bayern Munich and would now consider a move to the Premier League.

The Bayern striker lines up against familiar faces when his country face Germany in an eagerly awaited Group C clash in Paris on Thursday.

He has always resisted interest from the likes of Manchester United, preferring to make his name first at Borussia Dortmund and for the last two years at Munich.

The 27-year-old has been talking to Bayern about extending his contract but it is understood he has told friends he is willing to listen to alternatives while those talks continue.

Lewandowski’s dream move would be to Real Madrid but he accepts that one of the Champions League winners’ star names would have to leave the Bernabeu in order for that to happen.

The boyhood Liverpool fan is also interested in teaming up again with his former Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp if and when the Anfield club return to the Champions League.

Lewandowski has scored 47 goals in 57 Bundesliga starts in his two seasons in Bavaria and may end up signing a new deal if he doesn’t receive firm offers. But it is understood that he feels he has proved himself in Germany and is in need of a new challenge.

Certainly news of the Poland star’s unsettled state of mind provides an interesting backdrop to Thursday’s game.

Lewandowski can expect to face as many as five of his Bayern team-mates tonight as Poland look to build on their opening group win against Northern Ireland.
