Man Utd news LIVE updates: Paul Pogba transfer warning; pundit makes BOLD prediction

Manchester United news LIVE updates: All the latest from Old Trafford

Thursday April 5

Pogba risk

Paul Pogba is not certain to be at Manchester United next season, according to former Manchester United midfielder Andrei Kanchelskis.

Pogba has struggled in 2018 with poor form, injury and a reported row with manager Jose Mourinho.

And when asked whether Pogba would be at Old Trafford next season, Kanchelskis, who won two Premier League titles with United, had his doubts.

He told Betstars: “I don’t know if Pogba will stay. He’s a good player, but is very inconsistent.

“Sometimes he plays well and other times he doesn’t play well at all. I don’t know if he will stay, it depends on which players Manchester United buy in the summer.

“They need to make changes ahead of next season. Pogba will need to play more next season, if he were playing under Sir Alex Ferguson he would definitely be playing more as they played more attacking football.”

Fab favourites…

Manchester United are narrow favourites to sign Monaco star Fabinho, according to the bookies.

Fabinho, 24, was heavily linked with a transfer to Old Trafford last year, but Monaco didn’t want to sell another of their high-profile players.

However, bookmakers BetStars claim Jose Mourinho’s side have renewed their interest and are currently 11/8 favourites ahead of Chelsea to secure his services.

BetStars director of trading Ian Marmion said: “Manchester United head a list of clubs looking to sign Fabinho from Monaco this summer. The midfielder, who has spent five seasons at the Stade Louis II stadium, is interested in a move to Old Trafford as he seeks a new challenge in his career, with the Red Devils currently clear favourites at 11/8 to sign the 24-year-old.

“Chelsea and Manchester City are also in the running to land the Brazilian, however their respective odds of 3/1 and 5/1 rank the Premier League sides as outsiders for this transfer.”

Willian swoop

Manchester United are confident of sealing a summer swoop for Chelsea ace Willian.

Jose Mourinho held talks with Willian’s camp last summer in an attempt to lure him to Old Trafford.

He decided to stick around at Stamford Bridge but Manchester United chiefs are positive their second attempt will succeed, according to The Sun.

Willian has two-and-a-half years left on his contract with Chelsea.

However, a fee in the region of £30million should be enough to convince the Blues into doing a deal.

We’ll spoil the party…

Jesse Lingard is confident Manchester United can spoil Manchester City's Premier League party this weekend.

Pep Guardiola’s side boast a 16-point advantage over second-placed United and can wrap up the Premier League title with a win on Saturday.

But Lingard believes United can frustrate their rivals if they ignore the background noise.

"We have played there before and performed and did well, so I don't see why we can't do it again," the United attacking midfielder said.

"The lads' heads have to be right and we have to 100 per cent focused on our job and get the three points because that's what we are playing for."
