Manchester United are interested in signing Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2023, according to . The report has claimed that the Red Devils wanted to secure the services of the England international midfielder in 2020, but the teenager moved to Borussia Dortmund instead.
The former Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners are keen on securing the services of the 19-year-old next summer and have made him their number one priority at the end of the season. Bellingham has established himself as one of the best young midfielders in the world and has been superb for Dortmund, both in the Bundesliga and in the UEFA Champions League.
Bellingham has scored three goals and provided one assist in 12 Bundesliga appearances for Dortmund so far this s…
Adrian saved from Tammy Abraham as Liverpool beat Chelsea 5-4 on penalties to win the first all-English UEFA Super Cup following a 2-2 draw in Istanbul.
Olivier Giroud gave Frank Lampard s side a deserved first-half lead on Wednesday, but the introduction of Roberto Firmino as a half-time substitute changed the game for the Reds.
Firmino quickly set up Sadio Mane for the equaliser and, in the first period of extra time, the Senegal star smashed home from his team-mate s pass again before Jorginho equalised from the penalty spot.
But it was the European champions who triumphed in the shoot-out, Alisson s deputy Adrian denying Abraham with his right leg to secure victory for Jurgen Klopp s side.
Liverpool win on penalties in Istanbul!

Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone suggested Joao Felix, Diego Costa and Alvaro Morata could be set to start together in LaLiga for the first time.
Morata started the campaign alongside record signing Joao Felix when Costa was sidelined by an adductor injury.
After Morata succumbed to a knee problem, Simeone then opted to field Costa with Joao Felix in Atleti s attack.
With Morata fully fit and Atletico having failed to score in successive LaLiga games against Real Sociedad and Celta Vigo, Simeone could select the trio together for Wednesday s trip to Real Mallorca.
As I always said, and I said it before in some other press conferences, when Alvaro and Diego are both strong and in shape it s very likely that they will play together, he told repo…
Real Madrid head coach Zinedine Zidane says he is disappointed for his players but remains satisfied with their efforts following the 0-0 draw at Athletic Bilbao on Saturday.
Victory would have seen Los Blancos close the gap to Barcelona back to six points after the leaders dropped points against Celta Vigo, but the champions were unable to find the all-important goal against a side which is now winless in six league matches.
Cristiano Ronaldo, Toni Kroos and Karim Benzema could all have done better with first-half chances as Madrid s scoring troubles came to the fore once again.
It was the third time they have been held scoreless in this LaLiga campaign and a worrying trend which has left them fourth in the table, still eight points shy of pace-setters Barca.
According to a recent report from ESPN, Italian champions Juventus are interested in the possibility of signing Manchester United goalkeeper Dean Henderson. The 21 year old youngster has been at Old Trafford since 2011 when he made the transition over from local club Carlisle, but ever since then he’s been sent out on loan to a series of different clubs. He’s currently with Sheffield United down in the Championship, where he’s been impressing for quite some time.
Juve aren’t the only major European club that could be in the running, though, with Bayern Munich also registering their interest. Henderson has five caps for the England under 21s but hasn’t actually made his official debut for the Red Devils yet, with David de Gea being a primary reason for that.

Manchester United team-mates past and present have hailed Wayne Rooney after his departure to Everton was confirmed on Sunday.
Rooney leaves Old Trafford as United s record scorer with 253 goals in 559 appearances, having won five Premier League titles and the Champions League among 12 major trophies.
Here we take a look at some of the tributes given to Rooney from his former team-mates and other stars from the game
Ander Herrera s establishment in Mourinho s midfield last season was another blow to Rooney s first-team hopes, but the Spaniard will relish having played with his former captain.
One day I will be able to tell my grandkids I played with you. All the best and thank you

After an impressive close season in the transfer market aiming to bridge the gap to the top of the Premier League, Chelsea got an uneasy look at how that chasm appears on the field as Liverpool eased to a 2-0 win at Stamford Bridge.
Even before Andreas Christensen s game-changing red card for a professional foul on Sadio Mane during first-half stoppage time, Jurgen Klopp s champions had dictated matters.
That state of affairs only became more skewed after half-time as Thiago Alcantara announced his Premier League arrival with a passing clinic against depleted opponents.
Mane gave his own lesson in clinical opportunism with both goals, even if Kepa Arrizabalaga s problems were almost as influential on both Chelsea s demise and, in all likelihood, his immediate fu…
Everton s torrid start to the season continued as they crashed to a 2-1 defeat to Lyon in an ill-tempered Europa League clash at Goodison Park.
The defeat means the Toffees are rooted to the bottom of Group E with just one point from three games and manager Ronald Koeman will surely face fresh questions about his future.
Growing frustration on Merseyside was summed up by Ashley Williams sparking a brawl between both sets of players after a reckless shove on Lyon goalkeeper Anthony Lopes, with fans unnecessarily lashing out at visiting players in the ensuing melee.
Williams perhaps ought to have been dismissed, but he incredibly made the most of his reprieve to cancel out Nabil Fekir s early penalty as momentum seemed to have swung the Toffees way with 20 minutes …
Cristiano Ronaldo scored a first-half double to help Juventus return to winning ways with a routine 2-0 victory over Cagliari in their Serie A clash at the Allianz Stadium.
Juve conceded a last-gasp goal to Lazio last time out to make it only three wins from seven league outings this term, but Ronaldo inspired them to three points on Saturday by scoring for the fifth league game running.
The Portugal international curled in the opening goal with 38 minutes played and grabbed a second with an impressive hooked finish shortly before the interval.
Andrea Pirlo s side were unable to add to their tally but Ronaldo s brace was enough as they moved into second place, albeit having played a game more than the majority of the teams around them.

According to a recent report from Sky Sports News, West Ham United are interested in the possibility of bringing Marouane Fellaini to the club. Hammers boss David Moyes wants to team up with the popular midfielder for the third time, after the two men spent time together with Everton and Manchester United.
Fellaini left United last January in order to make the jump over to China, but with the salary cap that has been introduced for foreign players over there, the expectation is that Fellaini will be returning to Europe sooner rather than later.
He may not get a better offer than this one given that he’s spent time over in China recently, and with Moyes seemingly rejuvenating the form of West Ham as of late, it could be a really smart way for Fellaini to giv…
