Manchester United are currently unwilling to meet Borussia Dortmund s valuation of Jadon Sancho, according to Sky Sports journalist .
United have long been linked with a move for the 20-year-old winger and he reportedly isn t opposed to returning to England having left Manchester City in 2017, especially with United securing Champions League football for next season. Sheth says that United are the only club to have officially contacted Dortmund regarding Sancho, and they feel that it being a one-horse race means that they shouldn t pay too much for the transfer. Real Madrid and Liverpool are also admirers of the player, but neither of the last two Champions League winners have taken any concrete steps towards signing him.

Juan Cuadrado s future is up in the air, but the Juventus winger wants to stay with the Serie A champions. According to Sky Sports, former Chelsea man is not interested for a move back to Premier League. Two teams have been particularly interested in his services West Ham and Watford but the Colombian wants to stay in Turin.

Mesut Ozil seems to frustrate Arsenal fans as much as thrill them, with many citing his lack of consistency since his arrival in 2013.
However, accusing the midfielder of being inconsistent in all departments seems deeply unfair when you take one particular statistic into account.
According to Opta, Ozil, who turned 30 on Monday, has created the most chances across Europe s top five leagues since July 1, 2006: a total of 1,033.
Those numbers span his spells in the first teams at Schalke and Werder Bremen, his three full seasons at Real Madrid and the five years since he signed for the Gunners, giving a healthy spread across three different countries.
Ozil is well clear of his nearest rival, Dimitri Payet, who is on 1,016 chances created. Cesc Fabregas i…
Ivan Perisic s move to Tottenham from Inter came as a surprise to Ivica Olic, his former Croatia team-mate who is now assistant manager of the national team.
The 33-year-old winger left Italy following the expiration of his contract to join Spurs on a free transfer, where he will reunite with former Inter boss Antonio Conte.
He stands among a number of early additions made by Conte ahead of the new season such as Fraser Forster and Yves Bissouma, as Spurs look to consolidate their top-four position in the 2022-23 season.
Perisic s move to Spurs brings an end to a seven-year association with Inter, with whom he won the Serie A in 2020-21 and the Coppa Italia in 2021-22, and Olic thought the Nerazzurri would find a way to keep him.
To be honest I was a li…

Manchester United s strikers in particular will welcome the arrival of new signing Christian Eriksen thanks to his creativity from midfield, according to manager Erik ten Hag.
Eriksen turned down the chance to extend his short-term deal with Brentford and instead joined United on a three-year contract last Friday.

Marco Silva has hit back at Sam Allardyce s criticism of his Everton side, saying he may be more inclined to listen if David Moyes were to pass comment.
Silva has come under pressure in recent weeks following a run of one win in eight Premier League matches.
The Portuguese replaced Allardyce at Goodison Park at the end of last season and has been urged by his predecessor to scrap his philosophy of playing attractive football or face the sack.
You can talk about playing it out from the back and attractive football, but you will never survive, as [former Everton managers] Ronald Koeman and Roberto Martinez learned, Allardyce told talkSPORT. They all played so-called better football than me, but they didn t survive.
But Silva insists he is not inter…
