Fernandes ready to sign new United deal
The Sun reports that Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes is willing to sign a new £200,000-a-week contract to extend his stay at Old Trafford, but that there are caveats to getting his pen on paper. First up is to match his ambition in the transfer market, with Erling Haaland and Jadon Sancho up for grabs, and the other is making sure that Paul Pogba also signs a new contract.
Paper Round’s view: Pogba appears to have his heart set on a departure after wanting out for a couple of years now, but with the economic situation in Europe still a tough one, he and Mino Raiola may decide that the pragmatic option is to stay at United for a couple more years and take any raise that is on offer, before moving on to another club like Real Madrid or back to Juventus.
United looking for Woodward replacement
The Mirror suggests that Manchester United will not miss Ed Woodward now he is on his way out of the club, having spent more than half a billion pounds in the transfer market with little to show for it. They will need a replacement, and the paper speculates that the club may be interested in bringing back Edwin van der Sar, who has overseen Ajax’s renaissance in the Netherlands and Europe.
Wolves search for new manager
The Daily Mail believes that Nuno Espirito Santo may be considering an exit at Wolves this summer, after the struggles endured with his side this season. He may get offers from bigger clubs in the Premier League or be offered a route to be closer to his family, should a club from Spain make an offer. Wolves are looking at Rui Faria, Vitor Pereira and Bruno Lage as candidates to take over.
Paper Round’s view: Santo has done an excellent job at Wolves but with no huge injection of funding on the way, it may be that he considers there is little more to be done with the club. Moving elsewhere would give him a fresh challenge, and if his family remain in Portugal then he would probably benefit from a move to Spain given the difficulties in travelling away from Britain at the moment.
