Manchester United transfer news LIVE: Harry Kane latest as Rasmus Hojlund and Randal Kolo Muani named as alternatives, Mason Mount AGREES terms

Manchester United have been hit by a setback for Antony ahead of the FA Cup final.

“Unlikely (he will be fit),” he said. “Dos Santos (Antony) still has a chance but it’s a really small chance.

“He didn’t make the progress, so he still has a chance but unlikely he is available.”

Manchester United legends Roy Keane and Gary Neville both feel that the club need to replace goalkeeper David de Gea.

He told The Overlap: “They do need to get rid of him either now or if they’ve not got the money then obviously a year later is the maximum. I don’t know how much money is there, so they might not be able to replace De Gea and, say, buy Harry Kane – if they were looking to do that – in one hit.

“So they might say, ‘OK, we’ll have to cope with him for another year because we don’t want to spend £50m-£70m on a goalkeeper because we want to get Harry Kane and another player’ and then next year they do that [replace De Gea].

“But I agree with Roy [Keane], a goalkeeper is everything to a league [title], you have to have a brilliant goalkeeper, you have to have an unbelievable goalkeeper.”

Former Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo has revealed he will stay in the Saudi football league.

He told the SPL: “The league is very good.

“But I think we have many, many opportunities to still grow. The league is competitive. We have very good teams, very good Arab players, but they need to improve the infrastructure a little bit more.

“Even the referees, the VAR system, should be a little quicker. I think other small things they need to improve.

“But I am happy here, I want to continue here, I will continue here. And in my opinion if they continue to do the work that they want to do here, for the next five years, I think the Saudi league can be a top five league in the world.”

Harry Maguire has explained why Manchester United can fancy their chances against Manchester City in the FA Cup final this weekend.

“The fans have been right with us throughout the season and I think they’ve been really important to the success that we’ve had and the positive results that we’ve had,” he told club media.

“I think we’ve seen at Old Trafford, our results have been amazing so we know at Wembley they’re going to be there, they’re going to be loud and it’s a day that we hope we can do them proud.

“The fans at this club are a huge part of the club, they’re right behind the team, you can feel the energy and the intensity that they bring to the matches as well.

“I think obviously last season was such a disappointing year for us all, as players and staff, as fans, just as a club in general, so to bounce back in such a positive manner, I think it’s really, really impressive.

“Experience is a huge thing in football, being there and playing in these big matches, these big pressure moments, it’s really important to have that experience on your side.

“I think across our team now, if you look at our team, we’ve got lads who have won big trophies and lots who have played in a lot of finals, so it’s a good balance of the squad. We’re ready to give it everything.”

Gary Neville has urged Erik ten Hag to start forgotten man Fred against Manchester City.

“I don’t want Manchester United to play with Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes, and Christian Eriksen in midfield,” claimed the former defender on the latest episode of The Overlap.

“The game where they won, it was Fred with Casemiro. I just don’t see how City won’t run amok if it’s Casemiro, Eriksen and Fernandes.

“I feel not having that little bit of something to break the play up [could be key]. When he won the game at Old Trafford, I think he played with Fred and Casemiro, with Eriksen in front. Then they had [Marcus] Rashford, [Anthony] Martial and Fernandes to the right.

“The reason I think that works is because City don’t have a left-back going forward and Bruno can tuck in there which means they almost have four in the middle.

“Closing that off and letting City’s left-back have it – who that’s going to be, [Manuel] Akanji or [Nathan] Ake?”
