Man Utd are keen on the Frenchman as a flagship arrival of the new Sir Jim Ratcliffe era at Manchester United.

Palace consider sacking Hodgson

Roy Hodgson has come under fire at various points during the season but won key games against Brentford and Sheffield United to save his job.

But he is now under pressure once again after overseeing a 4-1 defeat to rivals Brighton, report The Guardian.

Hodgson could have been sacked following the 5-0 defeat to Arsenal but Palace are stalling.

It is believed that is because their preferred candidates - Steve Cooper and Julen Lopetegui - are reluctant to take over.

Phillips is 'fuming'

That's according to Roy Keane who thinks Kalvin Phillips would have been furious at being named on the West Ham bench against Manchester United.

Keane said on Sky Sports: "From the player's point of view I think he'd be fuming.

"You go to get some games, he played 70 minutes, he's a sitting midfielder, you use your intelligence there in terms of when to sprint and when to sit in.

"Obviously David Moyes will be worried about it in terms of picking up an injury quickly but from the player's point of view, he has to get minutes under his belt, he has to get games.

"Remember he's on loan from City, he's going to Old Trafford and now he's sitting on the bench.

"Obviously David Moyes is an experienced manager but I think from the player's point of view, he'll be fuming."

Liverpool were never going to sign Mbappe

Without knowing who the club's manager will be next term it was unlikely for Mbappe to make the move to Anfield.

And for Liverpool to have grabbed the Frenchman would require the Reds to break the bank to match Los Blancos' price tag.

Only a surprise about-turn from Mbappe would be the only thing to keep him from Madrid now.

Silva's wife wants Poch out

The wife of Chelsea defender Thiago Silva appears to have called on manager Mauricio Pochettino to be sacked.

Arsenal full-back Cedric Soares held talks with Benfica over a potential transfer this January, according to Sport Witness.

The 32-year-old is not a first-team regular for Mikel Arteta, but it seems he wasn’t in a rush to leave the Emirates for more playing time this winter.
