HOT PROPERTY
It looks set to be a summer of upheaval at Old Trafford.
And Man Utd are set to do battle with Chelsea for some of the hottest property on the market.
The Red Devils will rival Frank Lampard's men for £100m-rated Jadon Sancho in the summer, writes Daniel Cutts exclusively for SunSport.
The 19-year-old England winger is one of the hottest properties in Europe after another stunning Bundesliga campaign.
The ex-Manchester City star continues to break records, as he continues his free-scoring and assisting season.
While Chelsea will also reportedly battle United for the £60million capture of Lyon star Moussa Dembele.
The Mirror claims both Frank Lampard and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer are chasing the ex-Celtic man’s signature this summer after a bizarre January transfer window.
He has scored 18 goals in 33 appearances this season, and is already close to matching last term’s haul of 20.
GREAL MADRID
Barcelona and Real Madrid have joined Manchester United's hunt for Aston Villa's attacking midfielder Jack Grealish.
Both Spanish giants are tracking the exciting 24-year-old as they identify their top transfer targets for the summer.
Their interest will be a major blow to United, who have made Grealish their No 1 option to become the new playmaker at Old Trafford.
Grealish’s sparkling form has convinced a number of Premier League and European clubs he is the real deal.
And he has not escaped notice from Spain's top two clubs.Now Villa are steeling themselves for offers at the end of this campaign.
Birmingham-born Grealish is likely to have his pick over who he wants to join, whether or not he helps Villa avoid relegation this season.
SMALLDINI
CHRIS SMALLING'S impressive performances have seen him dubbed ‘Smalldini’ after AC Milan defensive legend Paolo Maldini.
It has ensured Roma will be keen to secure him on a permanent deal in the summer — although the Red Devils are demanding £25million.
Smalling made his 22nd appearance of the season on Saturday and the 30-year-old has arguably been boss Paulo Fonseca’s top performer this season along with 13-goal Edin Dzeko.
His last game for England was in the 2-2 World Cup qualifier against Scotland in Glasgow in June 2017.
EMERGENCY WARD
FORMER Man Utd target James Ward-Prowse suffered a nasty injury against Spurs in Saints' FA Cup defeat.
The Euro 2020 hopeful required oxygen after being caught on the knee by Ryan Sessegnon in the fourth-round replay.
Teammates rushed towards Ward-Prowse as he collapsed in agony on the pitch.
The midfielder, who was filling in at right-back in North London, clung onto Danny Ings due to the pain.
And teammate Long was heard by TV mics exclaiming: “F**k me, you can see his f*****g bone.”
