Marc Overmars is the technical director at Dutch Eredivisie giants Ajax Amsterdam at the moment and he has been linked with a similar role at Arsenal though he might have to battle AS Roma director Monchi for that position.

Alexis Sanchez became the highest paid player in British football when he joined Manchester United at the start of last year in a swap deal involving Henrikh Mkhitaryan who’s now an Arsenal player.

The 30-year-old signed a contract worth £350,000 weekly plus add-ons that take his wages to the £500,000 mark per week.

Sanchez has endured a frustrating one year at Old Trafford as he has struggled to replicate the impressive form shown at Arsenal.

The Chilean forward has scored just two goals for Manchester United this season.

Manchester United are 4/1 favourites to sign him according to bookmakers BetVictor ahead of Chelsea (8/1) and the quartet of Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool and Arsenal (10/1).

Sancho, 18, joined Borussia Dortmund on a free transfer at the start of last season despite the best efforts of Manchester City to prevent him leaving the club.

That transfer decision has come back to haunt Manchester City who were unable to offer him more playing time at Erica’s stadium before his exit.

The young English talent has scored nine goals and provided a whopping 17 assists in 41 appearances in all competitions for Borussia Dortmund since he joined the 1997 Champions League winners in the summer of 2017.

Eight of his goals have come this season with Borussia Dortmund still going strong in both the Champions League and the Bundesliga.

This was revealed by popular English news outlet The Sun.

The Gunners won’t be able to contest with Manchester United and other interested teams in the race to sign Joao Felix who says Juventus superstar Cristiano Ronaldo is his idol.

The big bid was rebuffed by Juventus who wanted to hold on to Douglas Costa until the summer at least.

Italian media outlet Tuttosport claim that there’s light at the end of the tunnel for Manchester United in their bid to sign Douglas Costa.

It was revealed that the Italians would be open to a sale if they can get Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba in exchange.

Paul Pogba spent four fruitful years at Juventus between 2012 and 2016 before Manchester United splashed £89m to sign him.

Atletico Madrid defender Lucas Hernandez and Fiorentina star Nikola Milenkovic also made the shortlist.

Both Hernandez and Milenkovic can play at centre back and fullback but the latter represents a cheaper option than the other player who was part of the French squad that won last summer’s FIFA World Cup tournament in Russia.

Others on the transfer shortlist include Tanguy Ndombele (Lyon), Ivan Rakitic (Barcelona) and Joao Felix (Benfica).

Paris Saint Germain (PSG) midfielder Adrien Rabiot could join Manchester United as a free agent this summer after it was revealed that the Red Devils have offered him a contract after talks were held between both parties.

Manchester United have moved to snap up the talented midfielder ahead of other interested clubs like Arsenal, Barcelona, Liverpool, Real Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur.

The player recently talked about a possible exit from Benfica in his last interview before hinting that he could join his idol Cristiano Ronaldo at Italian Serie A champions Juventus.
