Real Madrid have fresh David De Gea approach rejected?


De Gea is still reportedly wanted by Real Madrid

Manchester United have rejected fresh attempts from Real Madrid to land goalkeeper David De Gea.

It is believed that Ed Woodward turned down the second approach in as many summers from the Bernabeu giants to land the Spanish goalkeeper.

United fended off the challenge of Real to sign Paul Pogba earlier this week and they reportedly have beaten them to another coup - by ensuring the goalkeeper will remain at Old Trafford.

Real and United fell out last summer as the £25million of De Gea to Spain fell through in the dying moments of the transfer window.

Manchester United are confident of finding a buyer for Bastian Schweinsteiger before the transfer deadline.

And they are hopeful Juan Mata will remain at Old Trafford and that Adnan Januzaj can be convinced to accept a loan deal rather than push for a permanent move away.

United are open to offers for Schweinsteiger after Jose Mourinho decided the Germany midfielder was not in his plans for next season.

The 32-year-old has not featured in any of United’s five pre-season games and has been training with the reserves since returning to Carrington following the end of Euro 2016.

Schweinsteiger, who still has two years left on the contract he signed when he arrived from Bayern Munich in a £6.6m deal last summer, could decide to stay and fight for his place.

And they will also tie up a deal for Donald Love for around £1million.

Both players will complete their medicals in the north east on Wednesday.
United confident they have dethroned Real as transfer kings

United believe that they are now the leaders in the transfer world

Manchester United have smashed Real Madrid ’s status as the undisputed kings of the world transfer market, writes Mirror Football's David Anderson.

Club officials believe they have made a huge statement by beating the European champions to sign Paul Pogba in a world record £110million deal.

Real - who had set the last FIVE world records, including the signings of Premier League stars Cristiano Ronaldo from United and Gareth Bale from Spurs - fought hard to get Pogba from Juventus and had the cash to match the Reds' record offer.

The Old Trafford giants were still celebrating Pogba’s capture on Tuesday night, and senior sources have dismissed Real’s attempts to play down the extent of their interest.

Paul Pogba claims it was his “destiny” to return to Manchester United because his mother always told him he would come back to Old Trafford And Yeo Moriba has been proved right after her midfielder son Paul sealed his world record £90million move from Juventus four years after quitting on a Bosman.

“My mum, she says, 'Your mum’s always right’, and she was right this time, so it’s good,” said the France star, who was accompanied by his mother to Carrington on Monday to complete his transfer.

“I would say it’s destiny. First my mum told me I would come back here and I told her, ‘You never know, you’ll see’.

“For myself, as well, it’s a big challenge - just to come back to where I came from, where I grew up, where I started.

"I didn’t finish what I started here, so I think I have come here to finish it. There are no words, to be honest. There are no words to describe it."

Mourinho in fresh dig at rivals

Mourinho is aiming comments at his rivals
Jose Mourinho has launched a fresh attack on Arsene Wenger and Jurgen Klopp,claiming they are not at clubs capable of smashing the transfer world record.

Mourinho is still peeved at his rivals for criticising United's decision to splash out £90million to bring Paul Pogba back to Manchester United.

He claims spending record sums will never be an issue for either Wenger or Klopp because they do not manage "one of the top clubs."

The United boss told MUTV: "I know the discussion, I understand that, sometimes in football, things happen and the club breaks the record, but this is only possible at clubs like Man United.

"When I heard some of the comments and heard some of the managers criticising that, I don't think they ever have this problem because, to have this problem, you need to be at one of the top clubs in the world. So at Man United it can happen."

However, two years down the line, her small business has raked in about $2 million in sales earning her a spot on Forbes’ 30 under 30 list. What started with a compliment turned one young woman’s idea into a million dollar business. When Kelechi Anyadiegwu started her online African clothing store Zuvaa with $500 two years ago, her idea was to share African-inspired designs with consumers around the world.

PDP, Ize-Iyamu jealous of my credentials – Obaseki

The candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the forthcoming governorship election in Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, dismissed allegation by the Peoples Democratic Party that he received millions of naira as salaries as the head of the state’s economy and strategy team. The PDP state Chairman, Chief Dan Orbih, had during the party’s rally in Orhionmwon on Monday accused Obaseki of allegedly deceiving the citizens with claims that he (Obaseki) worked without any remuneration under the state government. Orbih had also displayed documents, which he claimed were vouchers for payments allegedly made to the APC candidate. But Obaseki, in a statement by the Director-General (Media and Publicity) of his campaign organisation, Abass Braimah, on Wednesday described the allegations as “tissues of lies”, adding that both the PDP and its candidate were “jealous” of his credentials and selfless service to the state. Braimah said, “We believe that (Osagie) Ize-Iyamu and Orbih are jealous of the cred...

Malia Obama Proves She's Just Like Everyone else While Partying at Lollapalooza

Barack and Michelle Obama were tearing it up with their epic speeches at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia earlier this week, and now, their oldest daughter Malia Obama is turning up with her pals at Lollapalooza in her hometown of Chicago. The 18-year-old high school graduate proved that just because she lives in the White House and has the most famous parents in the world, doesn't mean she can't go out and have some fun—even if her fun also includes secret service (who were adorably dressed in some casual khakis and plaid shirts, LOL). A few fellow Lollapalooza partygoers who also happened to be at the Cashmere Catset caught a few photos and even a brief video (read: extremely shaky) video of Malia letting loose and dancing with her gal-pals. This isn't the first time Malia has attended the popular music festival. She was also spotted at Chance the Rapper's set back in 2014. We're just happy to see our girl living the life of a normal teenager ...
