Littler 'can help'
Darts legend Dennis Priestley has insisted that Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim should use Luke Littler to inspire his players.
He told OLGB: "Luke Littler might be overawed working with his favourite club, but Manchester United players do look to need some inspiration and he could provide that.
"They need some help getting the best out of themselves which Littler has done so well despite his young age, it’s been hard for players to reach their potential ever since Sir Alex Ferguson left.
"So maybe Littler can help out Ruben Amorim by providing some advice and inspiration."
United's Cunha free run
Chris Waddle also believes that Manchester United were able to sign Mathues Cunha unchallenged.
The former Tottenham star claims that the Brazilian was tempted into the move because of the size of Man United.
Speaking toonline-casinos.com, he said: "I think he’s sold on the idea that United are a massive club.
"Even now it’s one of the biggest in the world, and he’ll have felt that even in Brazil. They’re massive, even if they’re struggling right now.
"But that will change. They’re too big not to improve from here, whether it’s next year or the year after, United are going to re-emerge as a top four team.
"We know that’s coming, and Matheus Cunha clearly has bought into what Ruben Amorim sold him.
"I think United remain a huge side, and let’s be honest - we don’t know if he actually got other offers.
"There was talk of City at one point, but it’s only United who have put the money down, and nobody seems to have challenged them for him."
Waddle on Rashford
Chris Waddle believes that Marcus Rashford is not good enough to play for Barcelona.
The Manchester United star is reportedly keen on a move to the LaLiga champions.
However, Waddle things he would struggle to play if he moves to Barcelona.
Speaking to online-casinos.com, he said: "I can’t see him going to Barcelona, not while Raphinha is playing brilliantly.
"I know Robert Lewandowski is 36 years old, but would you buy Rashford to play as a No. 9?
"I think there are better players who play through the middle, and Rashford is at his best on the wing. Raphinha is captain, he’s doing his job every week.
"It’s all right thinking you want to go to Barcelona, but they’re not going to pay you big money for you to be sat on the bench. That’s not going to happen.
"I think his options will be limited. He'll want a lot of money and the transfer fee would be massive for a club.
"So I could see him going out on loan somewhere again for a year. But as for a permanent move, I can't see it."
Angry Viktor
Viktor Gyokeres is fuming at Sporting Lisbon after their U-turn on his release clause, it has been claimed.
The striker is understood to have reached a gentleman's agreement with the club at the start of the season, which would see them accept a fee less than the £84million release clause in his contract.
The 27-year-old was told he could leave the Portuguese capital for an overall fee of £59million, with £51m of that figure being paid up front.
But Portuguese newspaper Record claims Sporting have had a change of heart and won't part with Gyokeres' services unless they receive £67m.
Gyokeres, who is wanted by Manchester United, is reportedly irate with the club's U-turn and feels like they have betrayed him.
Academy star's emotional goodbye
Outgoing centre-back Jack Kingdon has thanked everyone associated with United.
Kingdon was one of ten players released on Monday, and one of the six academy stars on the list.
He spent five years at United after joining the club as a 15-year-old from Morecambe.
The centre-back, who will turn 20 in November, was a regular fixture for the club's Under-18s and Under-21s during his time at Old Trafford.
Bayern drop Kim Min-jae price
Long-time Man United target Kim Min-jae is attracting interest from Liverpool, Newcastle United and Chelsea.
Bayern’s asking price for Kim has dropped from around €50 million to more like €35 millon.
Football 365 cites that Man United are also one of the teams ‘offered’ the North Korean defender.
After a Scudetto-winning season with Napoli in 2023, Min-jae moved to Bayern with promise and expectation but has failed to live up to the desired level in his two seasons at the club, with Eric Dier usurping him in the centre-back ranks amongst Vincent Kompany and his coaches.
Post/pre-season preparations underway for Heaven
Talking about Ayden Heaven...
The Man United centre-back may not be on the training ground, but is still getting in his work when he can.
After picking up a serious leg injury in March, Heaven was able to recover towards the end of the season and join the team on their post-season tour to Asia.
The former Arsenal academy player has enjoyed a relatively productive season at Old Trafford and will look to build on that in Ruben Amorim's first full season in charge.
