'Arsenal ponder bid for Utd-linked Eze'

Arsenal and Manchester City could weigh up bids for Crystal Palace’s £60million-rated Eberechi Eze.

The attacking midfielder is hoping to squeeze into England’s side for their Euros opener with Serbia on Sunday.

Chelsea , Manchester United and Newcastle have also been linked with the four-cap Londoner, 25.

But Palace are keen to keep hold of Eze and winger Michael Olise, who surprisingly missed out on a Euros spot with France.

Ten Hag wants to pair Branthwaite with Lisandro

Erik ten Hag's dream central defensive partnership for next season has reportedly been revealed.

The Manchester United boss would love to recruit Everton's 6ft 5ins starlet Jarrad Branthwaite with his 5ft 9ins current ace Lisandro martinez.

Raphael Varane is heading out.

But the main problem for Ten Hag would be funding a deal for Everton's main man Branthwaite.

Red Devils 'only offer £45m in all for Jarrad'

Manchester United's initial bids to land Jarrad Branthwaite faces ridicule.

A sum of £35milion was mentioned earlier today and now it's thought the figure would only reach £45m with add-ons.

That compares to Everton's reported valuation of £70m-plus for the England centre-back.

United reportedly agreed personal terms with the 21-year-od yesterday.

But it's thought the Toffees would reject the Red Devils' approach once, as they hope, a club take-over is completed.

14 Devils in disguise?!

Fourteen former Manchester United players have been pictured together on holiday in Malta.

The image, taken on a boat, was shared on social media on Friday afternoon.

JournalistAndy Mittentasked fans to try and name all of them, promising a signed shirt for the winner.

The challenge seemed remarkably difficult given many of the players have not been seen for decades, while some of them were also wearing hats and sunglasses.

Yet that did not stop one individual from getting all 14 spot on within four minutes of the post.

There was a charity match that took place in Malta on Thursday which the ex-players seen in the photo turned out for.

They included TWO Treble winners fromMan Utd's famous 1998/99 season under SirAlex Ferguson.

Red Devils 'launch Leny bid'

Manchester United have reportedly made an opening offer for Lille's £100million-rated Leny Yoro.

That would be a remarkable development - just 24 hours after the Red Devils are said to have agreed terms with Jarrad Branthwaite.

Everton want at least £70m for the 21-year-old.

So to chase two such expensive centre-backs is a huge sign of intent.

But there's massive work to be done for even one of the two to join United.

Kobbie measures up

Kobbie Mainoo has proved he will measure up for England – by confirming he is much taller than the internet suggests he is,writes TOM BARCLAY.

The web had the Manchester United midfielder, 19, down as 5ft7ins.

But Mainoo insisted he is 6ft to team-mate Cole Palmer on the FA’s Lions’ Den show at their Euros base in Blankenhain, Eastern Germany.

He told the Chelsea star: “I’m six foot, bro. Why you laughing?”

Palmer then put his pal to the test by getting the tape measure out – and Mainoo came out at 184cm, with shoes on, which does indeed equate to 6ft.

Let’s hope the teenager walks just as tall when representing his country this summer!

Meanwhile, Palmer admitted he did not expect his season to end with him making the Euros squad when he left Manchester City for Chelsea in a £45million deal last summer.

The 21-year-old said: “When I went to Chelsea, this was

Utd make major change to pre-season schedule

Manchester United have reduced travelling and cut back on players' off-pitch appearances for their summer tour of the US.

This follows complaints from Erik Ten Hag that last year's gruelling schedule caused their injury crisis.

United sources confirmed to SunSport that in contrast to previous years this summer's trip to theUnited Stateswill prioritise football rather than commercial interests.

United will do all of their training on one site at the University of California campus in Los Angeles despite only playing one game in the city.

They face Arsenal in LA and will then take a trip to San Deigo to face Real Betis before playing Liverpool is South Carolina.

United have also agreed to reduce the commercial demands made on their players, who in previous years would have been asked to make personal appearances for sponsors in each of the cities in which they were playing.

United's itinerary last summer in contrast saw them zig-zag all over theUSA, much to the irritation of Ten Hag and the players.

Ian Wright has given a glowing review of Manchester United target Jarrad Branthwaite.

The Red Devils are expected to make a formal approach for an Everton defender after a £70million valuation for the England ace, 21, is understood to have baulked United’s interest.

However, Arsenal legend Wright appears to reckon he would be a major asset for any Prem club.

The ex-Three Lions’ striker told The Overlap’sStick to Footballpodcast: “Pace? Oh, brilliant. Reading of the game? Fantastic. Attacking the ball? brilliant in both boxes. Passing out…”

Meanwhile, the Daily Mail suggest United are still pondering making an offer for Branthwaite – even if it’ might not ‘s unlikely to meet the Toffees’ demands.

TheManchester United1999 Treble winner knows both nations have players with “a lot of quality”.

The former centre-back, 52, told SunSport: “If you want to win a tournament, it’s totally different to winning a league because you need to have a certain mentality in your team.

“The Italians have it, the Argentinians have it.England, I don’t know if they have it — they are similar to us!

“Holland is lacking it and that’s why we never won a tournament. We have a lot of quality but not always that mentality to finish it off.

“We Dutch always seem to lose or lack a little bit of that winning mentality at the end.

“Other countries don’t start off well but get through the first phase then they’ve got that mentality within that they want to win everything, they want to kill it.”
