Eriksen

Manchester United have begun drawing up a list of potential replacements for Paul Pogba - despite being adamant the Frenchman will not leave this summer. Ed Woodward is determined to reject any bid for the club’s record signing and is under no pressure to sell, with Pogba still having two years to run on his contract - and the option of a further 12 months. Christian Eriksen is seen as a top class replacement, with United’s interest known before the Tottenham playmaker confirmed this week, he would like to “try something new.” A move for Belgium international Youri Tielemans has also been sounded out after Solskjær was impressed by his impact while on loan at Leicester from Monaco last season.

Contrast

The future of Vinicius lies in a difference of opinion between Zinedine Zidane and the Real Madrid board. The Madrid coach still has reservations about the 18-year-old’s role in the side and would welcome a loan deal for the youngster next season, a stance those at the top of the club do not share, with Florentino Pérez of the opinion that the Brazilian remains a useful member of the squad.

The coldness shown to Vinicius by Zidane is contrasted by the determination he has shown to incorporate Brahim Díaz into his plans. It’s another point of contention at the club as they look to rebuild after a miserable year. The manager wants the 19-year-old in his squad next season. The confidence he has in the former City starlet was built upon at the end of the season when Brahim got minutes and impressed the boss when others cemented their status as surplus to requirements.

Real Madrid Luca Zidane goal keeper could leave the club on loan ahead of the 2019-20 campaign. However according to reports from Spanish radio station COPE, Zidane could now be made available for loan ahead of their pre-season campaign with a number of sides from the Spanish top flight interested in him.
