Tuesday, May 28

• Manchester United are keen to sign Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski

• Dean Henderson has agreed terms with Manchester United over a new contract

• Manchester United have been handed a major boost in their pursuit of Matthijs de Ligt

• Sid Lowe has claimed Barcelona are NO LONGER confident of signing the youngster

Still no Paulo Dybala…

Juventus have reiterated that they have no interest in selling Paulo Dybala.

The Serie A champions have already ruled out offloading their talented Argentine international amid links to Manchester United.

And Sporting director Fabio Paratici has once again quashed the rumours.

“He is one of our players, we have great confidence in him,” Paratici said.

“The investment we made four years ago and the renewal of the contract is proof of this. Dybala is a Juventus player, a very important player for us.”

Gianluigi Donnarumma bid

Arsenal are eyeing AC Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma with Manchester United also interested, it has been claimed.

The Gunners are said to be unconvinced by Bernd Leno and with Petr Cech retiring at the end of the season they are seeking a top quality shot stopper.

TMW claim Donnarumma is happy in Milan at present though but Mino Raiola could hatch a plan to move him on.

Reports last week claimed Manchester United were on alert as they look to sort out the future of David De Gea.

And Raiola could force Milan to sell Donnarumma to get him a big-money move.

That could lead to Arsenal and United battling for the signature of the 20-year-old.

Kalidou Koulibaly KO

Manchester United ruled themselves out of the running to sign Ajax captain Matthijs de Ligt on Sunday, and have now suffered a second transfer blow.

Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly has been a long-term target of bosses at Old Trafford as the Senegal international continues to impress in Italy.

However, Carlo Ancelotti has now confirmed that his player will remain in Naples beyond this summer, forcing Solskjaer to look elsewhere.

Ancelotti told Radio Rai: “Koulibaly will remain in Naples in the next season.”

Robert Lewandowski transfer interest

Manchester United are keen to sign Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski.

Lewandowski would be a stunning addition to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side as he looks to overhaul a struggling squad after a disappointing season.

Transfermarket Web claim the Manchester United management are ‘dreaming’ of signing the 30—year-old.

Lewandowski is one of the most prolific frontmen on the planet and bagged 40 goals in 2018-19 as Bayern won the domestic double in Germany.

Dean Henderson agrees deal

Goalkeeper Dean Henderson has agreed terms with Manchester United over a new contract.

That’s according to website Football Insider, who claim the stopper will receive a ‘major pay hike’ to reward his progress.

Henderson, 22, was integral to Sheffield United’s promotion to the Premier League, starting all 46 Championship fixtures for Chris Wilder’s side.

The report says Henderson will be sent back to Bramall Lane for a season in the Premier League before returning to Old Trafford.

Matthijs de Ligt twist

Manchester United have been handed a major boost in their pursuit of Ajax star and Barcelona transfer target Matthijs de Ligt.

For a long time, there has been an expectancy the teenager will end up at Barcelona.

But journalist Sid Lowe has claimed Barcelona are NO LONGER confident of signing the youngster – and that means he could be on his way to United instead.

“A week ago, Barcelona were very confident that De Ligt would come there,” he told the Guardian’s football weekly podcast. “They are much less confident now.

“Now I must admit I don’t know what’s happened in the meantime but I imagine it’s an enormous truckload of cash having been driven round a house by his agent, who just happens to be Mino Raiola.”
