Palmeiras forward Gabriel Jesus has revealed he wants to remain at the Brazilian club, despite attracting interest from Man United, Barcelona and Real Madrid.
"My future is decided. My intention is to stay at Palmeiras," Gabriel told SporTV. "I have confidence in our work and in that of Cuca, the coach.
"Right now the team is very strong, and then I want to stay here, where I am happy and I am fighting for the title."
“All the talk has been on Paul Pogba, but following heavy backing overnight it appears we’ve been focusing on the wrong French midfielder as Blaise Matuidi looks set to join Jose’s Old Trafford revolution,” said Ian Marmion, Trading Director at BetStars.
“We’ve seen a lot of movement in the market in the past 24 hours and United are now clear odds-on favourites to sign Matuidi at 1/4. We’re calling it – expect to see Matuidi in a United shirt next season.”

And finally, £20million Manchester City signing Ilkay Gundogan has admitted he almost joined cross-city rivals United last summer.
The Germany international told Sport360: “Maybe last year it was close, but not everything happened like I wanted it to.
“Maybe it was not the right moment and at the end we decided to stay and renew my contract, to extend for one more year."
