Let Ron leaves if he wants to - Bruno

Bruno Fernandes say Manchester United must respect Cristiano Ronaldo’s decision if he wants to leave, writes NEIL CUSTIS.

Fernandes has been in touch with his fellow Portuguese international since he pulled out the club’s pre-season tour citing ‘family reasons’.

Ronaldo wants out but has not yet had the offer he wants from a club he believes can compete for the Champions League next season.

Fernandes said: “I don't want to be involved in that, obviously we have to respect the decision of everyone.

“I don't know what Cristiano said to the club, to the manager, I don't know what's going into his head, but we have to respect his space.

“The only thing I asked Cristiano, when he didn't turn up, was if everything was okay with the family, he told me what was going on, that's it and nothing more.”

Utd linked to Dortmund ace Zagadou

Manchester United are reportedly interested in a free transfer for Dan-Axel Zagadou.

The 22-year-old Borussia Dortmund defender's contract ran out in June.

And  report that the Red Devils are interested in landing the giant centre-back.

Erik ten Hag is supposedly eager to snap up 6ft 6in Zagadou for nothing now his deal has expired.

But the Premier League club face competition from Inter Milan, who see the Frenchman as a top priority.

The Serie A side have already sent an offer to Zagadou's representatives.

He played 22 times for BVB this season, despite suffering multiple injury lay-offs over the past two years. United previously targeted a move for the France Under-21 star during Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s reign.

And Zagadou was also wanted by Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta before he moved for Brighton’s Ben White. Ten Hag has already dipped into the central defensive market as a £55million signing of Lisandro Martinez was announced last week.

Bremer snubs Prem for Juventus

Juventus have beaten Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal to Torino centre-back Gleison Bremer.

Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano to say the Brazilian will swap Serie A clubs for £38million plus add-ons with a contract until 2027.

Chelsea are thought to still want two more central defenders, while United and Arsenal could also remain in the market for backline reinforcements.

All three Prem giants were previously been linked to uncapped Bremer, 25.

Put it all on Red... Devils

Manchester United sparked a flood of title bets after their impressive 4-0 defeat of Liverpool - amid their three straight pre-season wins.

According to Betfair, United have attained 27 percent of all bets on the race for the Prem crown since the game.

In contrast, Liverpool’s stock has plummeted to 7.4 percent, with United’s neighbours Manchester City securing 11 percent of the votes.

United interest in Youri 'growing'

Manchester United have a 'genuine' and 'growing' interest in Arsenal's prime target Youri Tielemans, reports today suggest.

And journalist Ben Jacobs claims Old Trafford chiefs regard the Leicester midfielder as a 'less complicated option' than Frenkie de Jong.

Barcelona star De Jong is now understood to be interesting Chelsea - albeit amid claims he'd be happy to stay with the Spanish giants.

It's thought Tielemans will soon meet Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers for talks over his future.

The Belgium hero has declined to extend his Leicester contract beyond next season.

Nev defends playing his and Becks' sons in 6-0 Barca rout

Inter Miami boss Phil Neville has defended his decision to play his son Harvey and David Beckham's second oldest Romeo in the 6-0 loss to Barcelona.

With Inter trailing 3-0 at half-time in the friendly, ex-Manchester United defender Neville turned to his son Harvey, 20, to change his team's fortunes.

However, a further three goals in the second half put Barca out of sight, with big money signing Raphinha shining on his debut.

England and Old Trafford legend Beckham, who co-owns Inter, then got to see his son Romeo, 19, in action against Barca with just four minutes left.

Neville has defended his decision to field Harvey and Romeo in what he says is Inter's biggest game in their four-year history, claiming the pair had "earned their right to get on" the pitch.

The former United, Everton and England full-back told reporters, as quoted by the : "Well I think we put the two boys on at wing-back and the first thing you measure is temperament.

"Have they got the temperament to play in this game? I think both of them did. I was super proud of them both.

"Romeo only got on for the last five or six minutes, which is difficult, but they'd earned the right to get on. They both showed really good temperament and I think tonight we learned an awful lot."

De Beek defends Maguire

Donny van de Beek has leapt to the defence of Harry Maguire after the defender was booed by his own fans during Man United's win over Crystal Palace.

De Beek said after the game: "I heard as well. I didn't know really what happened.

"But I think if I saw the game today I think Harry was playing really well.

"He was aggressive, he got so many balls, so that means he has a big personality. He has a lot of experience, so I think that's positive what he [showed], his performance today.”

Ronaldo inspires new Arsenal signing

Cristiano Ronaldo has been identified as an inspiration for new Arsenal signing Fabio Vieira.

The youngster revealed that he's modelled his career on Ronaldo, along with Lionel Messi.

He said: "Growing up, I liked Ronaldo and Messi - Messi because I’m like him in the way we play, and Ronaldo not because he’s Portuguese but I appreciate him."

Man United's transfer prospects questioned

Players no longer want to sign for Man United over Liverpool.

That's according to former Liverpool star Glen Johnson.

: "At the moment, 100 percent. It's a no brainer.

"There was a period where players would want to go to United but those days are gone."

Eriksen tipped for United success

Christian Eriksen has been tipped for success at Man United by fellow Denmark compatriot Peter Schmeichel.

The United icon told Tipsbladet: "Christian Eriksen is a class player, and we need them at United. It’s great to get a Dane to the club. That makes it more interesting for me.

“He must see it as a great opportunity to make an impression on football.

"It is a big club that needs to be turned around, and if Christian Eriksen can take part in it, it will be a huge thing.”

Tensions rise over Maguire jeers

Man United fans have been labelled morons for booing Harry Maguire during the club's pre-season win over Crystal Palace.

Maguire was jeered every time he touched the ball in United's 3-1 victory.

And football veteran Steve Nicol was far from amused by the treatment of United's captain.

He said: "It just shows there are morons all over the world,’ Nicol told ESPN FC.

"Let’s be honest, who sits and waits for their team to come [to their country] and then boo one of their own players?"

Ronaldo's time is up

Cristiano Ronaldo will never pull on a Man Unites shirt again, Piers Morgan reckons.

Ronaldo's made it clear he wants to leave Manchester this summer, and Piers highly doubts the striker will have a change of heart.

The Sun columnist reached that conclusion after having a few convos with the footballing megastar over the past few weeks.

Piers revealed to talkSPORT: "I have had quite a lot of contact in the last week. I certainly think it'd be highly unlikely if Cristiano Ronaldo plays another game for Manchester United.

"I just think mentally he's moved on. I'm not going to say what we've said to each other but like I said from the start I don't think Cristiano feels Manchester United share his ambitions.

"I think he feels that the signings they're making, the commitment they showed last season, where they finished up and a lack of Champions League football."

Man United tipped for title

Man United have been tipped to lift the Premier League title this season after their heroics against Liverpool in Thailand.

The Red Devils thumped rivals Liverpool 4-0 in a pre-season clash under new boss Erik ten Hag.

And their form during the match has given fans hope that Ten Hag will deliver the Prem next season.

According to Betfair, United have attained 27 percent of all bets on the title race since the game.

While opponents Liverpool’s stock has plummeted to 7.4 percent, and United’s neighbours Manchester City secured 11 percent of the votes.

Eriksen’s in for a shock

Man United new boy Christian Eriksen's got another thing coming if he expects regular game time at Old Trafford next season, Danny Murphy reckons.

Eriksen completed a free transfer to the Red Devils following a loan spell with Brentford last season.

But his time on the pitch will be limited as United won’t play him alongside Bruno Fernandes in the upcoming campaign, according to Murphy.

Murphy explained on talkSPORT: “I think United are only going to play with one No.10.

“If you think you are going to get Eriksen and Fernandes in a midfield three and be able to compete with the best teams athletically and defensively, you have got no chance.

“He (Eriksen) will play his fair share of games because you do not have the same XI every week. I think it is five substitutions this season as well, so there will be impacts off the bench.”

De Jong delivers transfer blow

Man United’s transfer pursuit of Frenkie de Jong has been dealt a huge blow as the midfielder would prefer a move to Chelsea, reports claim.

United have agreed terms with Barcelona for the Dutch ace, but he’s resisting a move to Old Trafford.

And it’s now emerged that Chelsea are one of the only clubs he’s willing to leave Barcelona for, along with Bayern Munich.

That’s according to Sport who also revealed Barca are keen to offload De Jong in order to balance the books amid a swathe of new signings.

Glazers willing to sell stake

The Glazer family would consider selling a minority stake from Manchester United, club insiders have claimed.

According to , the United owners have held some preliminary talks about the possibility of bringing in a new investor.

The American chiefs are not yet ready to cede control of the club, which could be valued at about £5billion.

Discussions are ongoing but there’s no guarantee the Glazers will decide to sell a stake in the club, despite increasing pressure from fans, pundits and club legends to resign
