10:55 UPDATE: Herrera hailed
Man Utd midfielder Ander Herrera is the main man under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer despite nearly leaving the club last summer, Paul Dickov claims.
“I think he is an integral part of what Solskjaer has tried to do since he’s been in there,” Dickov said. “He’s the main man in there and an unsung hero.
“You look at the job Fernandinho does for Man City and Herrera does that as well. He has turned into a real leader.
“I think he has gone under the radar in the last 11 or 12 games since Ole’s been in there.”
10:25 UPDATE: Van Dijk claim
Virgil van Dijk has revealed he was approached by Liverpool fans in May 2017, who called on him to join the club.
Van Dijk said: “When it was December and I got a call to say they got a deal done and I could talk to Liverpool, I was very happy.
“I went to the Juventus v Real Madrid Champions League final in Cardiff in 2017 and a lot of Liverpool fans came to me and said I had to sign for them.
“It was a great gesture; they were nice and respectful.”
09:55 UPDATE: Ronaldo behind Man Utd exit
Cristiano Ronaldo was the main reason Sir Alex Ferguson sold Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy, Louis Saha claims.
Speaking on Stadium Astro, Saha said: “Ruud fit really well with Man Utd, scored a lot of goals.
“But he had a selfish mentality sometimes. And there was a tension with Cristiano because he was young.
“Cristiano sometimes has this selfishness too, wanting to improve as a bigger player. Sometimes Ruud was not happy with that.
“It was a personal issue between the manager and Ruud van Nistelrooy that forced Sir Alex to take the decision.
“I think there was a moment where Sir Alex found the partnership between Wayne Rooney and me was working better for Cristiano and the players.”

07:20 UPDATE: Emery makes Ozil demand
Arsenal boss Unai Emery has demanded Mesut Ozil prove he can be available for selection without being injured or sick amid claims the German will be sold this summer.
“He needs to be consistent in training and for matches, without injury or being sick,” Emery said.
“Like that, we can see the best Mesut with us.”
Ozil has struggled to impress under Emery this season, with the Gunners boss dropping the playmaker for not being up to the physicality of the Premier League.
