Red Devils’ left-back dilemma
Tim Sherwood believes Man United should sign a new left-back in either Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez or Ipswich’s Leif Davis.
He told : “I’ll give you two names Manchester United can target if they decide to invest in the position: Milos Kerkez of Bournemouth and Leif Davis at Ipswich.
“Kerkez will be difficult because I can see Liverpool making a move for him after Richard Hughes joined as a Sporting Director, but I think he would suit Manchester United as well.
“Davis would be gettable from Ipswich. He’s been really impressive for them this season and he’d give Man United balance going forward on the left-hand side, so he’s another option to consider.”
From SunSport’s Jack Rosser
Romain Esse will today undergo a medical at Crystal Palace ahead of a £12million move from Millwall.

The Eagles have an incredible record of recruiting from the Championship, and Esse will hope to follow in the footsteps of Eberechi Eze, Michael Olise and Adam Wharton.

Jamie O’Hara reckons Man Utd will soar up the table if they ditch Marcus Rashford and replace him with Viktor Gyokeres.
He told : “Marcus Rashford needs to leave Manchester United. I think his time is up at the club. If they can, they should bring in Viktor Gyokeres to replace him – he could be a great player for them.
“I think they also need to sign a box-to-box midfielder - someone with an engine who can contribute in both halves.
“The problem with Gyokeres now is that every club in Europe wants him, and if you put yourself in his position, would you rather move to a club like Bayern Munich, or Man United where there’s no guarantee you’ll win trophies?”
Haaland proud of 'special' City
Erling Haaland is unsurprisingly delighted at bagging a £260million pay-day keeping him at Man City for the next 10 years.

“Manchester City is a special Club, full of fantastic people with amazing supporters and it’s the type of environment that helps bring the best out of everybody.
“I also want to thank Pep, his coaching staff, my teammates and everyone at the Club as they have all helped me so much in the past couple of years. They have made this such a special place to be and now I am City no matter what.
“I want to keep developing, keep working to get better and look to do my best to try and help us achieve more success going forward.”

City’s Khusanov deal ‘clever’
Emmanuel Petit also reckons Man City have pulled off a masterstroke signing with £40million Lens defender Abdukodir Khusanov.
He told : “I think it’s a clever signing if City can do a deal because this guy is a talent. He is so fast, he's a hard man, he's strong in the duels. He's a nightmare for strikers.
“This guy plays with such anger. He wants to hit everyone on the pitch because he's coming from a poor country, poor background. He just got a name for himself this season with Lens. He feels like he has something to prove.
“He knows that he can play at the highest level. His motivation hasn’t stopped. He would be a very good signing for any club, because he is a quality defender, he can be a top defender.
“His quality is, as I said, fighting, understanding of movement, but as well, his speed.”
Petit’s Lee warning
Emmanuel Petit has warned former club Arsenal to not sign PSG misfit Kang-in Lee.

“Kang-in Lee is not that kind of player, I'm sorry to say that. I'm bored and tired that these players have been linked with Arsenal.”
