Man utd Closer to Signing Serie A World Class Midfielder
SportsFila have been told that Manchester United remain firmly in the mix to sign an experienced Serie A midfielder this summer but will face a fight with four other Premier League clubs for his signature.
Erik ten Hag is known to want to strengthen his engine room this season, with Casemiro and Christian Eriksen both the wrong side of 30 while rumours persist that Newcastle will launch a bid to sign Scott McTominay this summer.
To that end, a number of names have been linked with a move to Old Trafford, including the likes of Declan Rice, Jude Bellingham, Mason Mount and long-term target Frenkie de Jong.
Speaking on ESPN FC’s YouTube channel, Marcotti said: “Rabiot was, I think, one of my least favourite players for a number of years. Just because you look at his ability, the whole package and everything, and you think, wow, he should be really good.
“Instead, I think at Juve mostly, he’s been really poor. Until this season when all of a sudden, and I think it coincided with an uptick with the French national team as well, he’s shown a ton of personality, he’s shown a ton of responsibility.
“He’s been, I think, one of Juve’s standouts this season. What you have to weigh up [for] anybody signing Rabiot is, is this kind of a one-season wonder for him where all the bits come together, or has he turned the corner?”
Are The Red Devils Still in Title Race After Liverpool defeat?
Having recently recovered from a back injury, the former England under-21 centre-back has recently begun to cement himself in the Potters’ defence and his displays have not gone unnoticed at international level. Both he and United’s Aaron Wan-Bissaka have been approached over the possibility of representing DR Congo, according to African publication Leopard Football Leader.
Positive talks were reportedly held as neither side have made a senior England appearance and Tuanzebe qualifies as he was born in Bunia, while Wan-Bissaka is of Congolese descent.
Tuanzebe will be hoping for a successful remainder of the season at Stoke, while Soretire made a similar decision to him by opting to temporarily leave United in search of regular gametime, joining Bolton in League One for the remainder of the season as a January loan.
The 19-year-old winger has been a regular under Ian Evatt as they look to return to the Championship.
He is yet to get on the scoresheet but has been a positive spark, though will be bemoaning the cup-tied rules as he will not be able to help his side on the pitch at Wembley on Sunday in the EFL Trophy final against Plymouth, having featured against Bolton for United under-21s earlier int he competition.
Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag did not hesitate to upset the apple cart when he first arrived from Ajax in the summer. His treatment of Cristiano Ronaldo was the most public display of the Dutchman’s ruthlessness, not stepping down to the five-time Ballon d’Or winner amid his complaints over a reduced role, but first came the ousting of several players from the dressing room.

There is NO REASON for Gareth Southgate to be linked with the Manchester United job
Gareth Southgate is the only person in the Universe who can turn Manchester United into Middlesbrough within no time
The English media is trying all their best to push Southgate to united, but he is championship level manager at best
The England national team is waay better than this Manu squad, and he has had 0 success ( reaching semis ain’t success). So what exactly are people expecting if he becomes Manu boss
Absolutely no way! Why would Man U hire Southgate? That would be the worse decision in the history of the game.
ETH outwitted Klopp last weekend in one of the best and most dramatic FA cup clashes in years and I’m sorry but Southgate would not have won that game and ETH has had to deal with Ronaldo, Sancho, Greenwood and so on, he deserves more time

I have been saying this for weeks now. If United were under any other manager especially Southgate, they would be fighting for relegation right now. The problem at United is not Ten Hag but the players.
People keep saying that Ten Hag’s style of football at United is not attractive and no identity but there is so much that a manager can do if the players themselves are not good enough or not putting enough effort. Ten Hag’s Ajax were playing attractive football and he managed to get them to the SF of the CL.
Without him, look at Ajax now. And the media keep pushing their agenda to get Ten Hag sack and replace him with a much worse manager like Southgate. If Ten Hag is managing England right now, with the players they have, we won’t see such a passive football like we saw yesterday vs Brazil. Ask Liverpool fans, would they replace Klopp with Southgate? I rest my case.

Liverpool only have themselves to blame for loss to Manchester United. Had to find a way to squeeze in the random Bruno slag off in between. Dude was dead on his feet at full time, and had to slot in to center back for the last 30 minutes.
SportsFila reflect on Manchester United’s 4-3 win over Liverpool in the FA Cup Quarterfinals and look ahead to the semifinals where Erik ten Hag’s side will take on Coventry.
How come everybody seems to have forgotten that 2 of LFC’s goals were pure luck?
More shots, same shots on goal, higher goal expectancy. What is this narrative that Liverpool should have put this game away, if anything we should’ve put this game away! They had a good 20, 25 minute stint where they kept the ball in the second half, but did nothing with it, we deservedly won this game.

For Liverpool fans: don’t say that we lost to Manchester United because Jota Trent Alisson and jones didn’t play. We have to stop doing that every time a team loses a big game it’s very stupid because had you won, you wouldn’t be saying that. Don’t forget that when y’all drew 0-0 to them at home Trent Alisson and Jones started. Keep in mind how well they’ve been playing despite having lots of injuries they almost beat Manchester City’s full strength squad last week.
Also, you lose to Manchester United, 2 fringe players for them decided the game for them, Liverpool didn’t play well and a loss is a loss you have to accept it otherwise you’re a sole loser and are unwilling to take it.
It’s interesting how nothing much is said about the mistakes made by Liverpool, but all criticism is piled on Bruno; how supposedly poor he was.
Ten Hag claims United is moving in the right direction 👀 WHAT DIRECTION IS THAT?!
Every time he speaks after a dismal performance after the match I always sit there saying to myself “What on Earth are you talking about”.
The media trying so hard to get ETH sacked…..when liverpool had bad injuries with VVD out, y’all didnt have the same energy
Most fans want ETH out because of his poor tactics and substitutions. I also felt he should be braver to drop non-performing players irrespective of names, and even play academy players if he has to.
Now I’m ETH in because I realise from Rooney’s and Ole’s recent interviews that the mentality of these players are incredibly low and it’s no longer just speculation that the players can’t cope on this stage.
I can understand ETH saying positive things and coming off as “crazy” but if you have players who are weak minded and aren’t willing to fight, you can’t be tough cos they’ll cave and where does that leave you for the rest of the season?! Jason Sancho case in point. I rather come across as insane to the media but hope that I’m lifting the team enough to get a string of performances to save my job and give the fans at least something to cheer about until I can have a summer clear out.
Keane is a freaking legend but that approach with these weak players will kill them and ETH would lose the dressing room.
This man keeps dropping off bombs on and off the field..A gift that keeps on giving..Most delulu man on this green earth
What a GIFT! Hand him a 15 years contract and 5 years add ons
The problem for Utd in recruiting an elite manager in the Summer is that Liverpool, Bayern and Barca will also be looking for new managers.
From the moment I heard “A new era begins. .” from ETH. I knew it was the joke of the century. He has the guts to say it while Klopp/Guardiola are competing against each other by 1 point in the Primer league he acted like he can compete with them ro
