Manchester United are interested in signing Memphis Depay from Barcelona in the summer transfer window, according to . The report has claimed that Barcelona are willing to sell the forward and are looking for €15 million in transfer fees for the Netherlands international, whom they signed only last summer on a free transfer following his departure from Lyon at the end of last season.

Depay was on the books of Manchester United from 2015 until 2017 before he moved to Lyon. The Dutchman did not have the best of times at Old Trafford, but his growth and development since his exit has attracted the interest from the Red Devils again.

The Netherlands international forward made 20 starts and eight substitute appearances in La Liga for Barcelona last season, scoring 12 goals…

Marcos Llorente and Angel Correa both scored twice as Atletico Madrid thrashed Las Palmas in a huge 5-0 home win to get back on track in LaLiga.

Javi Munoz hit the woodwork for the visitors early on, but Diego Simeone s men soon assumed full control when Llorente scored twice in a five-minute span to put them two goals up inside 20 minutes.

Atletico ensured they warmed up for Tuesday s Champions League last-16 first leg against Inter in style when Correa struck 73 seconds into the second half, before doubling his tally from the penalty spot just after the hour mark. Substitute Memphis Depay then put the icing on the cake with a powerful late strike from the edge of the area.

In an all-Premier League FA Cup showdown on Wednesday night, Wolves will welcome Brighton to Molineux.

Wolves

Starting with the hosts, while Wolves might have opened the 2023/24 campaign dealing with some real financial issues behind the scenes at Molineux, Gary O’Neil’s side have continued on a real domestic romp this season. Receiving a string of plaudits from across England’s elite, they have skyrocketed their way into the top-half of the table and the mood in their camp appears to be at a red-hot high. Picking up a gritty 1-0 victory against relegation scrappers Sheffield United over the weekend, the former Bournemouth boss has seen his squad win three of their previous four top-flight appearances. Extending on their FA Cup…

Manchester United have rekindled their interest in Bayern Munich s Noussair Mazraoui after his move to West Ham collapsed, according to Florian Plettenberg of Sky Germany.

The Hammers had reached an agreement over a fee totaling close to €20 million with Bayern for the 26-year-old right-back, but they failed to find common ground with his representatives over personal terms and withdrew from the negotiations. Manchester United took this development as an opportunity to boost their right defensive flank, with the future of Aaron Wan-Bissaka increasingly uncertain.

The 20-time English champions have already completed the signings of striker Joshua Zirkzee and defender Leny Yoro, and they re heavily linked with Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Manuel Ugarte. Meanwhile, the…

Orlando City head coach Oscar Pareja praised his side’s “seriousness” of returning to winning ways ahead of welcoming New York City FC to Inter Co Stadium this weekend.

The Lions recorded a fourth straight MLS triumph against Nashville SC last time out having won just one of their previous seven league encounters.

Orlando’s upturn in form has seen them bridge the gap between the sides below them and currently sit seventh in the Eastern Conference table, just five points behind New York Red Bulls.

Pareja is hoping to continue their upward trajectory on home soil this weekend, with his players maintaining their responsibilities highlighted as a key component to their recent success.

We are really happy, indeed with the result, but most importantly …

Michel Platini will be a guest of organisers and the French Football Federation at Euro 2016, according to tournament president Jacques Lambert.

Former UEFA president Platini is currently serving a reduced six-year ban from all football-related activity over a disloyal payment made by then FIFA chief Sepp Blatter in 2011. 

Platini appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport but conceded he was sceptical about his chances of overturning the ban.

But Lambert insists Platini, who has described Euro 2016 as his child , will be given a warm welcome at the tournament, which gets under way in June.

We always work together, he is quoted as telling beIN Sports.

Of course, at the moment, he is prevented from fully performing his functions, but he is…

Cristiano Ronaldo remains upbeat over Portugal s chances of qualifying for Euro 2020 as he insisted the reigning champions deserved to beat Serbia, while the captain also questioned the absence of VAR.

Ronaldo hobbled off with an apparent muscle injury in the first half of Portugal s 1-1 Group B draw at home to Serbia in Lisbon on Monday.

Portugal earned a share of the points after Danilo Pereira s stunning 42nd-minute equaliser cancelled out Dusan Tadic s penalty as the hosts were held to back-to-back draws.

After their scoreless stalemate against Ukraine, Portugal are third and two points behind the leaders, but Ronaldo lauded his team-mates after they were denied a penalty.

Honestly, I think the team played well, Ronaldo told reporters. We had many ch…

Bristol City manager Nigel Pearson believes Jamie Vardy’s winning mentality at the latter stages of his career is something that should be recognised.

Vardy, 36, made sure there would be no celebration for Pearson, who made his first return to Leicester City since being sacked in 2015.

The Leicester striker scored from the penalty spot in the 67th minute, after Wilfred Ndidi had been brought down by Kai Naismith, to secure a 1-0 victory which put Enzo Maresca’s side back on top of the Championship table.

It was Pearson who started Vardy’s King Power career 11 years ago when he made the striker the first £1million non-league player, moving from Fleetwood Town in 2012.

Vardy was the only player left in Leicester’s starting line-up from Pearson’s …

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has lavished praise on “top-class” Phil Foden for his outstanding form, but insisted the attacker can still improve.

Foden struck the only goal in Saturday’s 1-0 win at Bournemouth to move the Premier League champions to within one point of leaders Liverpool after 26 fixtures.

It was Foden’s 16th effort in all competitions this campaign, which equals his previous best tally from the 2020-21 season and made it six goal involvements during February after he hit a hat-trick at Brentford earlier this month.

Tomas Rosicky says he is feeling 100 per cent fit for Czech Republic s opening Euro 2016 game against Spain on Monday.

The 35-year-old endured another injury-ravaged 2015-16 campaign at Arsenal, managing just 19 minutes of first-team action, in an FA Cup tie with Burnley in January.

Rosicky has now left Emirates Stadium following the expiry of his contract, and turns his attentions to international matters with his country at the finals in France.

Czech Republic have been handed a tough opening task, against double defending champions Spain in Group D, but they are at least boosted by Rosicky feeling fit and ready.

I feel comfortable and confident that everything will be right because I played the three friendly games before the tournament, he told Sunda…
