Paper Talk: Solskjaer to cash in on Mourinho favourite amid five-man Man Utd clearout; Chelsea keeper swap deal Manchester United are looking to sell one of Jose Mourinho’s final signings at Old Trafford among a five-man clearout, while Chelsea are looking to swap a pair of £50m-rated keepers, according to Wednesday’s paper gossip. MAN UTD READY TO SHOW DIOGO DALOT THE DOOR Manchester United are willing to listen to offers for defender Diogo Dalot, according to reports. The Portuguese full-back was one of the final signings Jose Mourinho made at Old Trafford, but has struggled badly to make an impact and finds himself further down the pecking order due to the excellent form of Aaron Wan-Bissaka. And having been restricted to just one Premier League start this season, The Sun claims Dalot is fighting for his future and struggling to convince Ole Gunnar Solskjaer he is worthy of a long-term future at the club. The 21-year-old cost £19m from Porto in summer 2018 but has struggled during his time at Old Trafford and the paper claims he will be sold when the transfer window opens if a suitable offer comes in. And despite his lack of action during his time at Old Trafford – the Portuguese has just 33 appearances to his name over close to two seasons – it’s reported that United have set his price at somewhere between £30m – £35m. That seems a tad ambitious to us! Even so, his lack of impact at Old Trafford will come as a surprise to former manager Mourinho, who believed he had signed United’s right-back for the next decade after praising his displays during the latter months of his reign. Speaking after a 2-2 draw with Arsenal just a matter of weeks before his sacking, Mourinho said: “Diogo was fantastic and I think Gary Neville must be thinking now we have right back for the next 10 years.” But Dalot, contracted to United until summer 2023, has also been hampered by injury problems this term and has seen Wan-Bissaka excel this term. As per the report, Solskjaer is also willing to sell Phil Jones, Jesse Lingard, Chris Smalling and Andreas Pereira should suitable bids come in.

MAN UTD READY TO SHOW DIOGO DALOT THE DOOR

Manchester United are willing to listen to offers for defender Diogo Dalot,  according to reports.

The Portuguese full-back was one of the final signings Jose Mourinho made at Old Trafford, but has struggled badly to make an impact and finds himself further down the pecking order due to the excellent form of Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

And having been restricted to just one Premier League start this season, The Sun claims Dalot is fighting for his future and struggling to convince Ole Gunnar Solskjaer he is worthy of a long-term future at the club.

The 21-year-old cost £19m from Porto in summer 2018 but has struggled during his time at Old Trafford and the paper claims he will be sold when the transfer window opens if a suitable offer comes in.

And despite his lack of action during his time at Old Trafford – the Portuguese has just 33 appearances to his name over close to two seasons – it’s reported that United have set his price at somewhere between £30m – £35m. That seems a tad ambitious to us!

Even so, his lack of impact at Old Trafford will come as a surprise to former manager Mourinho, who believed he had signed United’s right-back for the next decade after praising his displays during the latter months of his reign.

 

 

Speaking after a 2-2 draw with Arsenal just a matter of weeks before his sacking, Mourinho said: “Diogo was fantastic and I think Gary Neville must be thinking now we have right back for the next 10 years.”

But Dalot, contracted to United until summer 2023, has also been hampered by injury problems this term and has seen Wan-Bissaka excel this term.

As per the report, Solskjaer is also willing to sell Phil Jones, Jesse Lingard, Chris Smalling and Andreas Pereira should suitable bids come in.
