Manchester United are keen on signing Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho and Atletico Madrid right-back Kieran Trippier. The two English internationals are Solskjaer’s priorities going into the summer transfer window. However, the Manchester United manager also wants strengthening in other key areas such as centre-back, striker and a holding midfielder once they complete the signing of Trippier and Jadon Sancho. Solskjaer’s men weren’t too far from challenging Manchester City for the Premier League title last season....

Jose Mourinho’s men ended the term without a silverware after their 1-0 loss to Chelsea in the FA Cup final. Also, they were bundled out in the fifth round of the English League Cup by Championship side Bristol City and only made it to the round of 16 in the Champions League. And, although, they finished second behind Premier League champions Manchester City, the 24-year-old is hoping the Old Trafford outfit will learn and bounce back to winning titles next season....

Garner, who has two years left in his current deal at Old Trafford, featured in just 22 minutes during his club’s pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia. After recovering from injury, the 21-year-old started in the home friendly against Rayo Vallecano last month. Last season, he shot to prominence during his season-long loan spell at Nottingham Forest. Registering four goals and eight assists in 44 EFL Championship games, he helped Steve Cooper’s side clinch promotion to the Premier League....

The 21-year-old joined the Red Devils in the summer after a stellar season with PSV in the Eredivisie. However, he has not been able to light up Old Trafford so far this season. Depay has not enjoyed the best of starts to his Premier league career after having scored only twice in 13 appearances for United this season. The stories suggesting that his love for a night out has harmed his form has only added fuel to the fire....

Greenwood hopes to match Rooney’s goal-scoring capabilities The 18-year-old forward, who averaged a goal per game in United’s academy, made his way to the senior team this season, scoring his first competitive goal for the Red Devils in their 1-0 Europa League win over Astana in September. The teenager also made his full debut for England’s Under 21s during their win over Albania on Friday. Also Read: Man United won’t rush Greenwood into Premier League starting spot, says Solskjaer...

Italy completed a perfect qualifying campaign in Group J with a 9-1 demolition of Armenia in Palermo on Monday. While their impressive performances are sure to see them considered among the favourites at next year’s showpiece tournament, Mancini feels other nations are ahead of Italy in their growth. “I don’t know if they are worried or not,” the Italy coach told a news conference. “I think they are stronger because they are one step ahead with their plan....

Italy have been without a permanent coach since Gian Piero Ventura was sacked after the four-time world champions failed to qualify for the World Cup for the first time since 1958. Mancini – former coach of Manchester City and Inter Milan – will meet the media for the first time as Italy boss at 12:00 (1000GMT) at the national team’s training centre at Coverciano near Florence. “Roberto is the new coach of Italy, it’s done,” Italian FA commissioner Roberto Fabbricini declared after Mancini signed his new deal in Rome on Monday night....

However, on Monday morning, Fleury was indeed traded, as the Wild acquired him for a conditional second-round pick. It gives the three-time Stanley Cup winner a chance to add a fourth ring, with Minnesota in a solid position now to make a run at the Cup. The 37-year-old goaltender is set to be a free agent this summer, as he’s in the final year of his three-year, $21 million contract....

The truth is, I still think the Bulldogs deserve a spot on the top seed line. I don’t think that’s what the NCAA Tournament selection committee will do, though, and with these projections I’m trying to predict how the committee will view the field. March Madness, indeed. Think back to the sneak peek a couple weeks ago. At that time, the committee gave Gonzaga the No. 4 overall seed, behind a pair of three-loss teams (Kansas and Baylor), despite the Zags’ undefeated record....

By this point, the greatest upset in the history of the NCAA Tournament was essentially complete. Lyles and his 16-seed UMBC teammates had a healthy — maybe stunning is a better word — lead on No. 1 overall seed Virginia, and the clock was in its last gasps before the celebration was going to begin. So Lyles tossed the shot up there. Why not, right? WHO IS UMBC?: Five fast facts about the first-ever No....

Is this the year Gonzaga finally wins it all? Or will the Big Ten flex and break a 21-year championship drought? “Man, Gonzaga can score.” That’s the first thing I say every time I watch the Bulldogs. Gonzaga leads the nation with 92.1 points per game, and Corey Kispert, Drew Timme and Jalen Suggs are remarkable offensive players. If Gonzaga does finally break through, I won’t be surprised. I just think the second question has a chance of being answered with a “Yes....
