Man Utd consider extending Mason Greenwood contract this summer
Manchester United may opt to extend Mason Greenwood’s contract this summer to help facilitate a permanent move away from Old Trafford.
The 22-year-old is to return to United after a season-long loan spell at Getafe, where he scored 10 goals in 36 appearances.
Greenwood has not played for United since his arrest in January 2022 for attempted rape, controlling behaviour and assault. All charges were dropped in February last year.
His form in Spain has attracted interest from a number of European clubs with Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Juventus, Napoli and Borussia Dortmund considering signing him this summer.
Greenwood’s current contract expires in 2025 but as is custom at the club, United have the option to extend that by a further year.
United are considering exercising that option, iNews report, but only in order to secure a satisfactory transfer fee for their academy product if he is sold.
United are looking to raise transfer funds by selling Greenwood and by extending his deal, they will be in position to let him leave on loan this summer with an obligation to buy – an arrangement likely to be more suitable for those interested clubs.
United are thought to be looking for a fee of around £40m for Greenwood with interest high in the English striker.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe appeared to open the door to Greenwood being given a second chance at United earlier this year, suggesting the club would revisit the issue this summer.
A permanent sale however is thought to be the club’s priority.
Getafe had been keen to retain Greenwood for another season but a return appears to be off the table.
In a message on Instagram following Getafe’s final game of the season, Greenwood wrote: ‘Incredibly grateful to the Getafe family and fans for an amazing season.
‘Thank you for making me feel welcomed and one of your own. I enjoyed every second, alongside my teammates and club.
‘A bitter sweet ending, but it was a pleasure to play for you, I wish you all the best.’

Man Utd hopeful they can sign top summer transfer target for half the asking price
Manchester United are leading the race to sign Everton star Jarrad Branthwaite and reportedly hope to sign him for as little £40million this summer.
A centre-half, a defensive midfielder and a striker are on United’s list of summer targets having identified the 21-year-old England hopeful as a long-term option at the back.
Erik ten Hag’s current options in defence were ravaged by injury this season with changes expected in the summer months. Raphael Varane is set to leave Old Trafford with Jonny Evans also out of contract.
Harry Maguire is wanted by West Ham United once again with Victor Lindelof also among the clutch of players who have been made available for transfer.
Branthwaite is coming off a superb season at Everton, earning himself a place in Gareth Southgate’s provisional 33-man squad for Euro 2024 this summer.
The Toffees value the 21-year-old at £80m but The Sun report the club could be forced to consider offers of around half that.
Everton are facing major financial challenges with their £500m takeover bid by 777 Partners in real doubt.
The club may have to listen to offers for a number of their players with Branthwaite perhaps their most prized asset.
Everton will likely have to sell off one of their star platers before the end of June in order to comply with profit and sustainability rules.
Tottenham are also interested in signing Branthwaite while Manchester City have also been credited with interest.
United want to bring in Branthwaite to form a long-term partnership with Lisandro Martinez at the back, with the Argentine demonstrating his huge value to the side once again in Saturday’s FA Cup final victory over Manchester City.
The former Ajax star was limited to just 11 starting appearances in the 2023-24 season with foot, knee and calf problems disrupting his campaign.

Timo Werner speaks out after extending loan spell at Tottenham from RB Leipzig
Timo Werner says he is looking forward to having an ‘incredible’ season with Tottenham after his loan deal from RB Leipzig was extended.
The Chelsea flop made a shock return to the Premier League in January when he joined Spurs on a short-term deal.
Tottenham had the option to make the transfer permanent this summer for around £15million, but amid mixed form his future was up in the air.
The forward adjusted well to Ange Postecoglou’s tactics and provided decent depth but would record just two goals and three assists in 14 appearances.
He missed the last month of the campaign with a thigh injury as his side missed out on Champions League qualification, with Spurs set to contest the Europa League in 2024/25.
It was reported that the club were looking to keep the 28-year-old but only on loan and that news was confirmed on Tuesday.
‘We are delighted to announce an agreement for Timo Werner to rejoin us on loan from RB Leipzig for the 2024/25 season, with an option to make the deal permanent,’ a statement from Tottenham read.
Werner himself was keen on remaining in North London after his form in Leipzig dipped, and sent a message to Spurs fans upon the announcement.
‘Happy to be a Spurs next year! Looking forward to see you all in the stadium for an incredible season,’ he posted on Instagram.
It is said that the new buy-out clause is worth just £8.5m, with his contract with his parent club currently expires in 2026.
Werner is set to be back to full fitness by early June and will have a full pre-season with Tottenham having not be selected in the Germany squad for theiur homeEuro 2024

Anthony Martial confirms Man Utd exit with emotional goodbye on Instagram
Anthony Martial has confirmed he is leaving Manchester United when his contract expires this summer.
The 28-year-old joined the club from Monaco nine years ago in a deal worth an initial £36million in 2015, making him at the time the most expensive teenager in world football.
The forward will now leave Old Trafford when his contract officially expires on 1 July after making 317 appearances for United, scoring 90 goals for the club.
Martial confirmed his departure in an emotional post on Instagram, thanking supporters and the club for an ‘incredibly opportunity’.
‘After nine incredible years at the club, the time has come for me to turn a new page in my career,’ he wrote.
‘Since I arrived in 2015, I have had the immense honour of wearing this shirt and playing in front of you, the best supporters in the world! You have been an unwavering support, through the good times and the difficult.
‘Your passion and loyalty have been a constant source of motivation for me.
‘I’d like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you’ve done for me. Your songs, your encouragement and your love for the club are memories that will remain engraved in my heart forever.
‘I would also like to express my gratitude to all my team-mates, technical staff and all the members of the club I have met during my 9 years here. I am proud to have been able to share these experiences with you.
‘Manchester United will always be in my heart. This club has left its mark on my career and offered me an incredible opportunity to play in front of you.
‘I’m leaving to take on new challenges, I’ll always be a Red Devil and I’ll continue to follow the club’s results with passion.
‘Thank you again for everything, and see you soon.’
While enjoying some superb seasons at the club, Martial persistently struggled with injury problems, particularly in recent years. He managed just seven starting appearances in his final season at the club, scoring two goals with a groin injury ended his season back in December.
He becomes the second star to confirm he is leaving United this summer with Raphael Varane also moving on.

Man Utd hold talks with Mauricio Pochettino and one other Premier League boss
Manchester United have held talks with representatives of Mauricio Pochettino and Thomas Frank with Erik ten Hag at ‘serious risk’ of being sacked.
Ten Hag led United to FA Cup glory on Saturday, masterminding a superb win over Manchester City at Wembley to secure his second trophy in as many seasons at the club.
Ahead of the game, reports claimed ten Hag would be sacked following the final game of the season regardless of Saturday’s result.
The victory, which also secured qualification for the Europa League, offered the Dutchman some faint hope with the club’s decision makers conducting a thorough season review this week to decide his fate.
While the club plots their next move, they have continued seek out possible replacements for ten Hag. The Daily Telegraph report United officials have held talks with both Pochettino and Frank as they seek to line up a replacement for the former Ajax manager.
Pochettino left his role at Chelsea after just one year at the helm last week with the Argentine keen to return to management immediately.
The former Tottenham manager was strongly considered for the United role two years ago before the club eventually opted for Ten Hag.
Brentford boss Frank meanwhile has impressed during his six years at the west London club and is also on Chelsea’s shortlist of potential new managers.
Ipswich Town boss Kieran McKenna is also firmly under consideration.
Omar Berrada and Jason Wilcox, United’s newly-appointed chief executive and technical director have reportedly held talks with McKenna’s representatives.
McKenna, 38, previously served as United’s Under-18 coach and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s assistant before joining Ipswich, guiding the club to back-to-back promotions during his excellent spell at Portman Road.
United have also considered Thomas Tuchel for the role with the German leaving Bayern Munich at the end of June.
But United reportedly have reservations over bringing the former Chelsea boss to Old Trafford with questions over whether he is the ‘right fit’.

Mauricio Pochettino had major doubts over Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez before Chelsea departure
Mauricio Pochettino had major reservations over Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez, Chelsea’s two most expensive signings of all time, before leaving the club, it has emerged.
It was announced on Tuesday evening that Pochettino and Chelsea had parted ways by mutual consent, just days after the Argentine had steered the club to European football with a sixth-placed finish in the Premier League.
It proved a difficult debut season for Pochettino in west London but there was a feeling amongst supporters that the tide was beginning to turn in their favour, as the Blues finished the campaign on a high with five straight victories.
But the search for Pochettino’s successor is now underway and a host of high-profile names are being linked with the vacant position at Stamford Bridge, including the likes of Roberto De Zerbi, Thomas Tuchel, Thomas Frank and Enzo Maresca.
Pochettino’s future was thrown into serious doubt after Chelsea’s final game of the season against Bournemouth, with the 52-year-old unable to confirm whether or not he would still be in charge come the start of next season.
And while Pochettino’s exit is believed to have been amicable, it’s clear the ex-Tottenham and PSG manager was less than impressed with certain situations and recruitment decisions – which occurred without his collaboration – behind the scenes during his brief tenure.
According to The Athletic, Pochettino quickly developed doubts over the ‘quality and balance’ within his young and inexperienced squad and was never truly convinced about the combination of Caicedo and Fernandez in the middle of the park.
Chelsea twice broke their transfer record to bring in Caicedo (£115m) Fernandez (£107m) last summer and it’s claimed Pochettino had immediate doubts over whether the latter was ‘destructive’ enough to be a No.6.
In private, Pochettino also questioned if Fernandez possessed the necessary creativity to be a top-level No.8 and felt that the two big-money arrivals lacked the size and power, as a midfield pairing, to compete with the very best in the Premier League.
The report adds that Pochettino thought highly of Conor Gallagher – who wore the captain’s armband in Reece James’ absence for much of the campaign – but the England midfielder now appears a ‘prime candidate’ to be sold in the summer transfer window.
It’s understood Pochettino is keen to make an immediate return to management ahead of the 2024/25 season and Manchester United have been mooted as a possible destination, with Erik ten Hag’s future in the balance.
United’s new co-owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, is said to be a long-term admirer of the ex-Argentina international, who missed out on the Old Trafford job back in 2022.
The likes of Gareth Southgate, Graham Potter and Kieran McKenna are also believed to be on United and INEOS’ shortlist of candidates who could replace Ten Hag in the hot seat after the FA Cup final.

Gareth Southgate reveals how Manchester United star Marcus Rashford reacted to England snub during phone call
Gareth Southgate says Marcus Rashford was the consummate professional when informed he would not be included in England’s Euro 2024 squad, praising the forward’s ‘maturity’ after receiving such disappointing news.
Rashford, capped 60 times by England, was arguably the most notable omission as Southgate unveiled his preliminary 33-man party ahead of this summer’s tournament in Germany.
The likes of Jordan Henderson, Reece James and Raheem Sterling – boasting a combined total of 179 appearances for the Three Lions – were also left out, while uncapped quintet Jarell Quansah, Curtis Jones, Jarrad Branthwaite, James Trafford and Adam Wharton all made the cut.
Rashford’s snub comes after a disappointing season for the attacker, in which he has managed just eight goals in all competitions for Manchester United. He could, though, finish the campaign with silverware, with the Red Devils preparing to face Manchester City in this weekend’s FA Cup final at Wembley.
Explaining Rashford’s omission at his press conference this afternoon, Southgate insisted it was ‘simple’ – other players had enjoyed ‘better seasons’ than the 26-year-old.
Rashford went on to wish England ‘all the best’ on his social media pages and Southgate praised the forward’s professionalism when further pressed on his decision by BBC Sport’s Dan Roan.
‘Clearly he’s played in a lot of important matches for us and scored a lot of important goals for us,’ the England head coach told reporters.
‘We’ve worked with Marcus for a long, long time which makes those calls harder.
Asked how Rashford took the news on the phone, Southgate replied: ‘Look, I have to say, both him and Jordan Henderson were both incredibly professional and respectful.
‘I think they know, over a long period of time, that we’ve been very supportive when we’ve needed to be.
‘They’re not pleasant calls for the boys to receive so I fully understand that, but they were both very mature.’
England's preliminary 33-man squad for Euro 2024
Goalkeepers: Dean Henderson (Crystal Palace), Jordan Pickford (Everton), Aaron Ramsdale (Arsenal), James Trafford (Burnley)
Defenders: Jarrad Branthwaite (Everton), Lewis Dunk (Brighton), Joe Gomez (Liverpool), Marc Guehi (Crystal Palace), Ezri Konsa (Aston Villa), Harry Maguire (Man Utd), Jarell Quansah (Liverpool), Luke Shaw (Man Utd), John Stones (Man City), Kieran Trippier (Newcastle), Kyle Walker (Man City)
Midfielders: Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool), Conor Gallagher (Chelsea), Curtis Jones (Liverpool), Kobbie Mainoo (Man Utd), Declan Rice (Arsenal), Adam Wharton (Crystal Palace)
Forwards: Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid), Jarrod Bowen (West Ham), Eberechi Eze (Crystal Palace), Phil Foden (Man City), Jack Grealish (Man City), Anthony Gordon (Newcastle), Harry Kane (Bayern Munich), James Maddison (Tottenham), Cole Palmer (Chelsea), Bukayo Saka (Arsenal), Ivan Toney (Brentford), Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa)
Many fans believe Southgate has the finest attack in the world at his disposal heading into the European Championships and the England boss is ‘very happy’ with the depth he has up front.
But according to Southgate, there remain question marks in that area of the pitch given certain players picked up ‘little injuries’ in the back-end of the season.
Quizzed on whether England boast the finest attacking talent at the tournament,he responded: ‘I’d have to look at all of the squads and see what they’ve got. We’re clearly very happy with the options we have. At the moment, there are a few questions with players that missed the last game of the season and little injuries.
‘We don’t quite know where all that sits just yet but we like the depth in that area of the pitch and we think that can be a great asset for us, not only who might start the game but who might come into the game and who might come into the tournament.’
Southgate rejected the suggestion that England are dealing with a ‘crisis’ in defence heading into the tournament.
‘I think “crisis” is about more important things than football,’ he said.
‘But we’ve got a lot of complications at the back, we’ve got players that have either finished the season injured or have had injuries and have just got back playing.
‘That’s the situation we are in and we’ve picked the players that we think physically, over the next couple of weeks, can get to where they need to be.
‘We’ll know more and be able to make better decisions in the next couple of weeks.’

Lewis Hamilton makes shock Premier League title prediction for 2024-25
Formula One legend Lewis Hamilton has shockingly predicted that Manchester City will not win the 2024-25 Premier League title next term.
City have been absolutely dominant in the top-flight under Pep Guardiola, with Sunday’s win over West Ham clinching the trophy for the fourth straight year.
Guardiola’s side are the first English side in history to achieve that feat with City having now remarkably landed six of the last seven Premier League titles.
City will once again head into the new campaign as the clear favourites but F1 hero Hamilton is tipping a different team to come out on top this time next year.
Hamilton, who is a big Arsenal fan, thinks it will be third time lucky for Mikel Arteta’s men at the end of the 2024-25 season.
Arsenal have missed out on the Premier League title to City in painful circumstances for two seasons in a row and club legend Thierry Henry is worried his old side will have nothing left in the tank next term.
Hamilton, though, sees things differently as he posted on Instagram: ‘Proud of this team. It’s ours next season.’
Arsenal manager Arteta is also convinced that Premier League glory is eventually coming to the Emirates, with the Gunners last winning the league back in 2004.
‘If we do what we have to do, we’re going to be closer and at the end we’ll win [the title],’ Arteta said on Sunday.
‘When, I don’t know. But if we keep knocking and being that close, in the end it will happen.
‘There’s only one way to do it: you have to be more determined, you have to be more ambitious, you have to have a lot of courage and push every limit in everything that we have. That’s the next step.
‘First one and most important [plan for the summer] is how we are going to get these players to a different level.
‘That is my first job and after that, if we still don’t have enough, for sure we will have to do everything we can to fulfil those gaps [with new signings].’

Arne Slot set to build Liverpool team around four ‘fundamental’ stars
Arne Slot is reportedly set to build his Liverpool team around four key players after he was confirmed as Jurgen Klopp’s replacement on Monday.
Slot was heavily rumoured to be Klopp’s successor and the Reds have finally announced that he will take over at the start of June, subject to a work permit.
Attentions have now turned to how Slot’s Liverpool XI will look and The Telegraph report there are four ‘fundamental’ stars he already has in mind.
Among those four is superstar Mohamed Salah, despite the Egypt international being heavily linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League.
The second player is captain Virgil van Dijk, who cast doubt over his own future when Klopp said that he was leaving Anfield at the end of the season.
Slot also wants to build his team around Trent Alexander-Arnold and Darwin Nunez.
The Dutchman views Nunez as a ‘critical’ player moving forward and feels that some of his attributes are ‘extraordinary’.
What can Liverpool fans expect from Arne Slot?
Arne Slot favours a high-intensity 4-2-3-1 formation in possession, which can be flexible to accommodate attacking players.
He prefers to have two deep-lying midfielders and a reliance on wingers to create chances.
Slot’s teams often dominate possession and play on the front-foot and are known for their pressing.
‘We are an attack-minded team that likes to have a lot of the ball, and we play with a lot of intensity,’ Slot has said about his own style of football.
‘When we don’t have the ball, we want to win it back as quickly as possible by being aggressive and pressing to win back possession.
‘I think we are a team that is difficult to beat.’
