  • Cristiano Ronaldo's Chelsea links resurface

    Portuguese legend Cristiano Ronaldo will be focused on guiding his side to a World Cup quarter-final on Tuesday but club football will be in the back of his mind too.

    Ronaldo, 37 has reportedly had two huge offers from Saudi clubs Al Nassr and Al Hilal earlier on this week.

    But reports suggest that Chelsea owner Todd Boehly has held talks with Ronaldo's agent Jorge Mendes.

    And the five-time Ballon d'Or winner is 'tempted' by the move.

  • Morning, United fans

    The Red Devils could battle continental giants for Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi and Atletico Madrid attacker Joao Felix.

    Barcelona are rated United's prime rivals for one-cap Spaniard Zubimendi.

    Old Trafford chief Erik ten Hag has persistently been linked with such a new anchorman.

    And the growing speculation over Zubimendi comes as Brazil rested United's £60million midfield star Casemiro.

    Alex Telles and Antony joined Fred to give the Red Devils THREE starters for the World Cup favourites in their shock 1-0 loss against Cameroon.

    But the former two might not have done enough to keep their place for Brazil's Monday's last-16 clash with South Korea on Monday.

    Meanwhile, United have been urged to act quickly if they want to land versatile Portugal attacker Joao Felix.

    Bayern Munich and PSG are reportedly considering huge bids in the summer.

    And it's thought United might succeed if they offer around £86million in January.

    So far, though, Ten Hag appears to prefer PSG wideman Cody Gakpo.

  • Scholes names replacement options for Ron

    Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has urged his former club to replace Cristiano Ronaldo with either PSV Eindhoven star Cody Gakpo or RB Leipzig ace Christopher Nkunku.

    Speaking on MUTV’s The Debate, Scholes said: “I think there’s a couple of forwards they might look at. The kid at RB Leipzig that’s been linked with Chelsea, Nkunku. Centre-forward is obviously the big position that needs filling.

    “We have Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford who can both play there, but I think Marcus prefers being out wide and Antony’s injury record isn’t great.

    “January might be too soon [to replace Ronaldo], they’re probably looking at next summer now, but I do think there are players out there.”

    Sholes added: “The lad at PSV – Gakpo – is doing really well for the Netherlands at the World Cup, and I think [Erik] Ten Hag has been really interested in him before. There are players out there for sure.

    “January can be a tough window to do business but I hope we can do something and bring in a new centre-forward”

  • Zubimendi latest anchorman on list

    United and Barcelona could fight it out for Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi.

    We told you earlier this week that Red Devils’ boss Erik ten Hag is reportedly keen to find another midfield anchorman.

    Brazil star Casemiro is still being bedded in after his £60million summer arrival from Real Madrid.

    Fred and Scott McTominay have also yet to fully convince.

    And so far Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong has proved elusive.

    Now it’s claimed United are emerging as serious rivals to Barca for Zubimendi.

    The one-cap Spaniard only extended his Sociedad contract in October.

    The new deal is thought to include a £51.5million release clause.

  • United 'keen on Sasa'

    Torino midfielder Sasa Lukic is a new name being mentioned for Manchester United.

    Leeds and Everton have already been linked with the Serbian World Cup star, 26.

    And Lukic has another chance to impress in Qatar tonight when they face Switzerland in a must-win clash.

    Roma are also said to be interested as he approaches the final 18 months of his contract.

    Although mainly a central midfielder, Lukic can also play as an anchorman or just behind the attack.

  • I'm Evra Su sorry... not really!

    Patrice Evra revelled in Luis Suarez's World Cup heartbreak as he LIKED an Instagram photo of the Uruguay striker sobbing.

    Suarez couldn't hold back the tears after his side were dramatically knocked out of the tournament on goals scored.

    Hwang Hee-chan's last gasp 91st minute winner for South Korea against Portugal sent Suarez and Co home early.

    The South Americans beat Ghana 2-0 but went out at the group stages on the same amount of points as South Korea, having scored two less goals.

    While Suarez's team-mates reacted angrily to the defeat, including Edinson Cavani punching the VAR monitor, the 36-year-old started sobbing after hearing news of Hwang's late winner for South Korea.

    And Manchester United legend Evra, 41, didn't seem to mind the result too much.

    Evra liked a post from Instagram account 433 of Suarez in tears at full-time.

    Suarez was banned for eight matches and fined £40,000 by the FA in 2011 after being found guilty of racially abusing Evra while playing for Liverpool.

    He denied the allegations.

    Suarez then famously refused to shake Evra's hand when he returned from his ban.

  • You've got the date Ron

    Manchester United fans will still see Cristiano Ronaldo in 2023 — in the official club calendar.

    The Portugal hitman’s exit last month was too late for him to be replaced as Mr January in the merchandise.

    It has left the £10.99 product — “perfect for any Manchester United fan with images of players from the current squad” — badly out of date.

    Ronaldo, 37, and United settled on a “mutually agreed” split after he slammed the club in an interview with Piers Morgan on TalkTV.

    During it he had said he had “no respect” for manager Erik ten Hag.

    The club is now trying to cash in on what is left of their Ronaldo stock at knockdown prices.

    T-shirts costing £20 and £10 mugs are now a fiver.

    A keyring that cost £5 is now £2 in the club shop and also online.

    Ronaldo, currently starring for Portugal at the World Cup in Qatar, is tipped to sign with Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia in a £173million deal including wages and other endorsements.

  • Felix race hots up

    United have been urged to act quickly to lure Atletico Madrid attacker Joao Felix.

    Baynern Munich and PSG are reportedly considering huge bids for the Portugal star, 23, in the summer.

    And United might need to make their move in January.

    It's thought Old Trafford chiefs had a bid of around £111million rejected last summer but might be able to sign him now for closer to £86m.

    So far, though, United boss Erik ten Hag appears to have a preference for PSG wideman Cody Gakpo.

  • 'Replace Ron with Gakpo or Nkunku'

    Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has urged his former club to replace Cristiano Ronaldo with either PSV Eindhoven star Cody Gakpo or RB Leipzig ace Christopher Nkunku.

    Speaking on MUTV’s The Debate, Scholes said: “I think there’s a couple of forwards they might look at. The kid at RB Leipzig that’s been linked with Chelsea, Nkunku. Centre-forward is obviously the big position that needs filling.

  • Mauricio hails Marcus

    Former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has praised Manchester United and England star Marcus Rashford.

    Pochettino said: “I’ve always liked [Rashford].

    “I knew of his process because I was in England, but I think he’s a great player.

    “He just needs the confidence and for himself to believe, to put him at the top level.

    “The quality is there for him”

  • Utd trio start for Brazil

    United strs Alex Telles, Fred and Antony feature for much-changed Brazil against Cameroon in the World Cup tonight.

    Cameroon: 16. Epassy, 19. Fai Collins, 4. Wooh, 24. Ebosse, 25. Tolo, 8. Anguissa, 15. Kunde, 20. Mbeumo, 13. Choupo-Moting, 6. Ngamaleu, 10. Aboubakar

  • I'd be a disaster next to Bruno

    Paul Scholes claims him playing alongside Bruno Fernandes would have been an "absolute disaster" for Manchester United.

    Fernandes has been a Red Devils' fixture for the past two seasons - amid problems elsewhere in midfield.

    But Old Trafford legend Scholes believes, even if both were at their peak, they'd be "all over the place" as a combination.

    The former England hero believes he'd be far better next to United's Brazil anchorman Casemiro.

    Asked whether he'd prefer to play with Portugal's Fernandes or Casemiro, Scholes had no problems in opting for the £60million, ex-Real Madrid man.

    He told Man Utd’s club media: “It’s quite an easy question because of the style of play.

    “He probably reminds me of [Michael] Carrick, [Nicky] Butt, Roy Keane and those type of players.

    “With Bruno, I think we would be all over the place and us two together in midfield would be an absolute disaster!"

  • Cristiano Ronaldo starts

    Cristiano Ronaldo starts Portugal’s final group game as he looks to make the World Cup all about him again, writes SunSport’s Andy Dillon from the Education City Stadium.

    He needs just one goal to level the record of nine in his country set by legendary Eusebio.

    Ronny was rated at just 50/50 for the game just to get everyone talking about him again. It was only a few days ago he threw his toys out of the pram for not being credited with a goal against Uruguay.

    The Portuguese are already through and South Korea need to win to stand any chance of going through to the last 16. It’s a tall order
