14:45 UPDATE: Man Utd want Tottenham ace
Man Utd boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is believed to be keen on signing Tottenham midfielder Eric Dier.
Solskjaer is expected to have a busy summer at Old Trafford as he looks to overhaul his United squad.
The Norweigan took over Manchester United in December but the Red Devils could still only manage a sixth-placed Premier League finish.
In truth, United could do with strengthening the majority of their squad.
Nemanja Matic could fall down the pecking order next season, having struggled in the recent campaign.
And the Times say that Dier is among a list of candidates that have been discussed to fill the role.

13:45 UPDATE: Bale to Man Utd or Tottenham?
Real Madrid star Gareth Bale has two choices of club if he wants to return to the Premier League with Manchester United and Tottenham both options, Darren Bent claims.
“For him, it’s where is going to suit him best. He will have a number of options,” Bent said on Sky Sports’ Transfer Centre.
“But when it comes to the Premier League I think he’s got two options - Man Utd or Spurs.
“Chelsea can’t buy him, they might have sorted it in the deal with Hazard if it wasn’t for the transfer ban.
“But with that not being able to happen I can only see him going to Tottenham or Real Madrid.”

12:45 UPDATE: Solskjaer gives up on two stars
Man Utd boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has given up on two of his summer transfer targets as he looks to secure new deals.
Solskjaer is desperate to make a telling impact on his playing squad this summer in his first transfer window as manager.
Swansea winger Daniel James is all but certain to become his first signing after completing a medical on Thursday, but two other targets definitely won’t be joining the club.
According to the Evening Standard, Solskjaer has reluctantly accepted to turn his back on deals for both Jadon Sancho and Declan Rice.
Both players started for England during their Nations League defeat to the Netherlands on Thursday, and are set to remain at Borussia Dortmund and West Ham respectively next season.
Eden Hazard is set to double his wages as he joins Real Madrid from Chelsea, according to reports.
The two clubs are believed to have agreed a deal worth £88million initially.
It could rise another £42m due to add-ons with Hazard set to be unveiled at the Bernabeu at the end of next week.
The move has been in the pipeline since last summer and with Hazard out of contract next summer, Chelsea were keen to cash in.
Though it’s not just the Blues who will feel the benefits in their pocket with Hazard set to too.
The Evening Standard report that Hazard will see his salary increase from £200,000 to £400,000 at Real Madrid.
It’s claimed that it took the Belgian just a few hours to accept the offer with Hazard handed a five-year deal.

Barcelona have reportedly opened talks with Manchester United over a potential deal for Marcus Rashford.
Rashford is out of contract at Old Trafford next season though talks are believed to be ongoing over a new deal.

11:00 UPDATE: Liverpool plan
Liverpool are planning to start their summer spending on Fiorentina attacker Federico Chiesa.
Italian outlet TuttoMercatoWeb claims that the European champions are planning to join the race for the young forward, but might be unlikely to secure his signature.
Serve A champions Juventus are considered to be the frontrunners for Chiesa, who was ever-present in his side’s league campaign, playing in 37 of 38 matches.
The 21-year-old has a contract at Fiorentina until 2022, so there is no pressure on the Florence side to let him leave any time soon.

10:15 UPDATE: Kane to leave Tottenham?
Tottenham could lose Harry Kane, Son Heung-Min, Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen this summer, pundit Danny Mills claims.
“The speculation around Pochettino is a problem,” Mills told Football Insider. “Until he is nailed down, are these Tottenham players going to be able to stay?
“From the outside it feels like to doesn’t want to commit until he knows the direction in which the club are going.
“He has done exceptionally well with limited funds. He wants and deserves money to spend. What more can he do? It’s now either, ‘back me or I go’.
“It matters massively to the players who the manager and the coaching staff is. It throws everything up in the air.
“Dele Alli, Harry Kane, Son, Christian Eriksen could all leave. This could be horrendous if Tottenham don’t back Pochettino.
“These players have played under Pochettino a long time and clearly adore him. They will be thinking about their futures if he doesn’t stay.”

09:05 UPDATE: De Ligt to Man Utd off?
PSG have now emerged as the favourites to sign Ajax sensation Matthijs de Ligt.
De Ligt has been heavily linked with Manchester United and Barcelona but they could now be left disappointed as ESPN say PSG are likely to get him.
The 19-year-old is the most sought-after centre-back in world football and his future remains the big story of the summer transfer window.
Barcelona were expected to win the race to sign him while it was also claimed he wanted to be the poster boy of Ole Gunnar Soslkjaer’s rebuilding project at Old Trafford.
However, the report from ESPN says PSG are the frontrunners because former sporting director Leonardo is about to return to the club and getting a deal over the line for De Ligt is said to be his top priority.
