Here are the Manchester United morning headlines for Tuesday, April 14.
Transfer race
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has joined the race to sign RB Leipzig’s highly-rated centre-half Dayot Upamecano, according to reports.
The 21-year-old France international is about to go into the final year of his contract in Germany – and has a release clause of £52.5 million should any club wish to lure him away.
United are reportedly in the running – alongside Manchester City, Bayern Munich, and Barcelona.
Despite his apparent interest in Upamecano, though, Solskjaer won’t be distracted from his pursuit of Borussia Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho, who remains a top target – although Real Madrid are also interested in the England international.
Gomes handed transfer advice
A former United star has suggested that Angel Gomes may have to leave Old Trafford if he wants to play regular first-team football.
Ben Thornley says the teenage midfielder may make the tough decision to move on a free transfer in order to progress his career – even though Solskjaer rates him and would like him to sign a contract extension to stay on.
"I can understand what a predicament Angel Gomes is in. It was exactly the same sort of thing that I found myself in at Manchester United,” he said.
"Angel's probably thinking to himself, I'm in my early 20s now, I need to think about which path my career wants to go down, as difficult and as much of a wrench it ever would be to leave Manchester United.”
From one Paul to another
Paul Pogba has revealed how much he learnt from playing alongside Paul Scholes as a youngster.
The French star progressed through the ranks at United as a teenager but left for Juventus in 2012 due to a lack of first-team opportunities.
Now, however, he says that watching players like Scholes helped him to improve his own game.
“You learn a lot and you look at them,” said Pogba. “I really learned and have been learning. It was unbelievable for me, seeing them training like that, and it pushed me.
“Okay, I have to work hard and have a lot more to do. [Andrea] Pirlo [at Juventus] and Scholes, those are midfielders who control the game, the players to look at, and I learned from them, a lot.”
