Eurosports Paper Round

Jose Mourinho has an agreement to take over at Old Trafford
Rumours persist that there is some form of agreement between Jose Mourinho and Manchester United, and the Telegraph believe it too. Mourinho is apparently in line to take over in the summer, but....
United are wary of announcing anything official unless it unduly affects on-pitch results. 


Pep Guardiola wants West Ham’s Reece Oxford 
Pep Guardiola is not a daft man, which is why he wants to replace many of the defenders at his disposal at Manchester City. Apart from Vincent Kompany, when fit, none of the defenders can make a compelling case to be kept at the club. With Fernando and Fabian Delph underwhelming fans, more steel is needed in midfield, especially if Yaya Toure moves on in the summer. According to the Daily Mail, Guardiola has turned to Reece Oxford, the West Ham teenager, to provide cover in defence.

Manchester United look to Jesus to improve their strikeforce 

The Sun think that United are preparing to add to their attack this summer. It seems that employing Marouane Fellaini and Wayne Rooney as their first and second choice strikers has not been Louis van Gaal’s finest plan in his career, as Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial have shown themselves to be far better. However, Two strikers are not enough for a club, and so they have looked to Brazil, where Gabriel Jesus has emerged at Palmeiras.

Gabriel has an especially lowered released clause for the biggest clubs in the world, and Manchester United, meaning they could get him for £18.8 million. 

Daniel Sturridge refuses to commit his future to Liverpool 
The Daily Mirror’s interview with Daniel Sturridge hints that the player will move on sooner rather than later from Anfield. Sturridge says that any player planning on staying at a club for many years is ‘deluded’ because teams look to change their squad every year. Sturridge also says that he wants to play every minute of every match, which might just be an admission that he has struggled for consistent fitness over his career, but could also be seen as a veiled complaint over Jurgen Klopp’s willingness to rest the striker.
