“He [Fabregas] is a top player, there are many clubs who want him and are in Barcelona, the club of his life,” De Gea told La Sexta. “I’ve tried to convince Cesc to join United but it’s difficult.” “He feels great at Barca, it’s his home,” he added. Fabregas was heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford in the last summer window, however, the move didn’t go through as then Barcelona president Sandro Rosell was adamant about selling the 27-year-old....

However, Monday’s sickening, cowardly attack at the Manchester Arena following a concert by American pop star Ariana Grande took, as Ajax head coach Peter Bosz put it, “the sparkle” away from a contest between Manchester United and Ajax. Twenty-two people were killed and another 59 injured as a result of the attack by a suicide bomber - a tragedy that served as the unwelcome backdrop for a subdued, sombre build-up....

Serie A Juventus set to face stiff competition for Danilo The Italian champions have made Real Madrid’s Danilo their prime candidate to replace Dani Alves who is on his way to Manchester City. But Don Balon has now claimed that Chelsea will rival Juventus for Danilo’s signature. The Brazilian is a criticised figure in Spain and hence wants out from Madrid. It is said that the Blues are ready to bid £22 million for the full-back which means that Juventus will have to match or increase the offer....

Goal understands that Hernandez, who recently spoke of his frustration over a lack of first-team opportunities under David Moyes, has been assured of his importance to the club going forward. United is keen to tie Hernandez down for the long-term and is willing to improve his current deal worth almost $100,000 a week, which has two years remaining. Hernandez has been linked with both Arsenal and Tottenham in recent months but has indicated privately that he would prefer a move abroad if he were to leave Old Trafford....

Dembele has scored 19 goals in all competitions this season, since his move from Fulham in the summer and has been consistently linked with a move away from Scotland. Current Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers, however, believes the Frenchman will stay put at Celtic for a while longer, as he insists once the players’ development is over, he will make a switch away from Celtic Park. “Him and his agent, they want to learn, and they want to develop....

The news was further confirmed by Sky Sports’ La Liga expert Guillem Balague who said that Atletico are preparing themselves for a massive transfer battle for Griezmann as he is already eyeing up Frenchman’s replacement. Balague said: “[Simeone] was talking, of course, about Griezmann, who had been booed by the fans when replaced because they are fed up with him being so open about leaving in certain interviews. Griezmann’s camp openly admitted of an agreement with Manchester United and ever since that moment fans have turned their back on the French striker which could see Griezmann spark a transfer war between Man United, Manchester City, and PSG....

Heading into their final game of 2018, the Red Devils are currently in 6th position, 8 points off the fourth-placed team, Chelsea. As we head into the January transfer window, the club has been linked with a host of players, as Solksjaer is going to have a say in the players that the club brings in the transfer window. In today’s Manchester United rumour roundup, we look at the players that may come into the club in January, as well as one player who may leave the club....

Vidic joined the Nerazzurri last summer as a free agent and has a contract with Inter until June 2017. When asked if Vidic would stay at Inter, his agent, Silvano Martina, told Gazzetta dello Sport, “I think he should, yes, because he has another two years left on his contract. “In fact, I want to reveal something. Last year, he [Vidic] made a specific choice to come to Milan, even though Manchester United wanted to keep him and kept calling up to December....

Such is the rarity of the Reds mounting a serious tilt for a crown they last wore in 1990, this meeting is already something of an historic moment. The last time they visited their fierce rivals in a league match while they occupied one of the top two positions, the year was 1996 and Jurgen Klopp was a 29-year-old Mainz defender. That match - which was started by an Eric Cantona rabona from kick-off (no, really) - saw United triumph 1-0....

Dayot Upamecano, Naby Keita, Timo Werner and Marcel Sabitzer are some of the players who have sealed big moves from RB Leipzig in recent years. 21-year-old midfielder Szoboszlai could be next in line to leave the Bundesliga outfit to join a big club. Szoboszlai only joined RB Leipzig from their sister club Red Bull Salzburg in January this year. The Hungary international still has around five more years remaining on his deal with the Bundesliga club....

The midfielder who spent the second part of the season on loan at Cardiff blasted the Scot after signing for the club for £15 million when Sir Alex Ferguson was still in charge. “I signed for Sir Alex Ferguson and expected him to be the manager,” he told The Sun. “David Moyes arrived and obviously felt – in general – he had to play older players. “For some games I was not even on the bench....

“United are level with us and that makes the Premier League exciting but we are top and that is where we will try to stay.” “Maybe we were too slow in the first half but I think if we had scored we would have gone on to win the game. West Brom had 10 men behind the ball and played on the counter-attack and for once we did not find the solution....

Mane and Salah have formed two thirds of a devastating triumvirate alongside Roberto Firmino at Anfield since the latter’s arrival on Merseyside in June 2017 and the trio seem to have an almost telepathic understanding on the pitch. Which is why there were a few raised eyebrows at Mane’s very public tantrum during the most routine of 3-0 wins at Turf Moor before the international break, with the rapid forward seemingly irate at Salah’s decision to shoot rather than tee him up for a second goal....

Luckily for players, Maneater released today, meaning those looking forward to jumping into the action-packed shark sim no longer have to wait to get their first taste of becoming one of the ocean’s deadliest predators. That also means a ton of reviews have dropped, detailing both the positive and negatives of Tripwire’s newest release.

This is the case with the direction Alvin Bragg, Manhattan’s new district attorney, is taking in his approach to crime. In a memo sent just days after being sworn in, Bragg made it clear how his office would—or would not, as the case may be—handle crime in New York City. The DA’s office “will not seek a carceral sentence” except in cases of homicide, domestic violence felonies, some sex crimes and public corruption....

Initial reports Friday had Machado unable to make it back when his stint on the disabled list expired next week. Treatment on an injured right knee hadn’t produced results. Fears Machado would need surgery, mirroring the one he had on his left knee last October, proved true when the team announced his decision. So it’s off to Los Angeles, where Dodgers team physician Dr. Neal ElAttrache will again put the blade to Machado, the Orioles’ third baseman....

Unlike most fighters, Pacquiao wanted to end his career against the toughest opponent he could find. And for a man just a few months shy of turning 43 years of age, that’s abnormal. While a majority of his peers have retired and moved on to exhibition bouts against non-threats for immense paydays, Pacquiao is still here and looking to teach the next generation a thing or two about what it means to strive to be the best....

Pacquiao won the senate seat and in September he decided to return to the sport that helped him earn the political position. Pacquiao (58-6-2, 38 KOs) will challenge Jessie Vargas (27-1, 10 KOs) for the WBO welterweight title on Saturday (Top Rank PPV, 9 p.m. ET) at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas. “Why stop my boxing career? So, I changed my mind and decided to continue my journey,” Pacquiao said to ESPN....

Right now, they’re just like us, right? Wrong. Case in point: this video from Maple Leafs star Auston Matthews’ Instagram. Yep, that’s Toronto goalie Frederik Andersen setting up Matthews with a rooftop assist on an alley-oop pool dunk. I don’t know about you, but that doesn’t look too similar to the daily routine I’ve fallen into over the past six weeks. A post shared by Auston Matthews (@austonmatthews) on Apr 28, 2020 at 5:13pm PDT...
