Manchester United could partner up Fikayo Tomori with Harry Maguire next season. As per reports, the AC Milan centre-back, who was one of the standout performers for the Serie A champions last campaign, is admired by Man United. According to Corriere della Sera, Erik ten Hag’s men have expressed interest in the former Chelsea centre-back, even though the report goes on to state that the Rossoneri intend to extend the player’s contract until June 2027. His contract deal is up in 2025 but Milan intend to give him a raise in his wages, as well as extend his stay with the Italian giants.

Maguire fits captain bill Harry Maguire's the only man capable to lead Man United next season, according to Andy Townsend.

He explained on talkSPORT: "Who’s the other obvious captain? “What’s in it for Ten Hag to take it off Maguire, if there’s no standout switch?” Rooney tipped for MLS success Wayne Rooney has been tipped for success as D.C. United boss after a stint with the club as a player. Rooney played for the MLS side in the 2018-19 season, And his former Man United team-mate Phil Neville, who manages Inter Miami, reckons Rooney's experience in the States will serve him well as a manager in the country. Neville said, via the Miami Herald: "I suppose Wayne’s got a slight advantage over me coming into the league because he played in MLS, he’s got experience in MLS, he’s been on the road trips, he’s played with some of these players, he’s played in these stadiums, been in the environments and the climates. "He knows what it’s all about and that gives him a great advantage. “He’s not one of those managers you read about in MLS that come from foreign shores and it takes then 12 months to 18 months to get used to it and the salary caps. He’s been involved in the salary caps and knows everything about the league.” Klopp backs Ten Hag Erik ten Hag will lead Man United into the title fight next season, according to Jurgen Klopp. The Red Devils could only muster a sixth spot in the Prem last season. But Klopp backs Ten Hag to turn the Red Devils into title contenders once again, along with Arsenal.
