Man Utd ‘reject approaches from THREE Premier League clubs and two Italian giants' for Harry Maguire
Mighty Mag Man Utd 'reject approaches from THREE Premier League clubs and two Italian giants' for Harry Maguire MANCHESTER UNITED have rejected a stunning FIVE approaches to sell Harry Maguire this summer, reports suggest. The future of Maguire, 32, had been uncertain this summer as United eyed a potential clearout following their worst-ever Premier League season that saw them finish a lowly 15th place. 1 Man Utd have rejected five bids to sell Harry Maguire this summer Credit: Getty And the England international has had the chance to leave Old Trafford this summer following offers from three Premier League clubs and two from Italy. However, Red Devils transfer bosses have rejected each one of these deals, according to the Daily Mail. And the report adds that United are considering offering him a contract extension to allow him to see out him career in Manchester. Maguire's current £190,000-a-week deal at the club expires at the end of this upcoming season. The former Leicester star is thought to be keen to stay on at Old Trafford, where he arrived for a then record-breaking £80million fee for a defender in 2019. It's understood no talks have yet taken place regarding a possible extension. In 2023 Maguire had been on the cusp of joining David Moyes' West Ham in a deal worth around £30m before it collapsed.

Paul McGrath shares rare family pic to mark granddaughter's birthday as fans all make the same observation
An Irish celeb was among those bowled over by the fabulous photo THREE GENERATIONS Paul McGrath shares rare family pic to mark granddaughter's birthday as fans all make the same observation PAUL McGrath shared a sweet photo from his granddaughter's birthday - with fans noticing the striking similarity between him and his son Chris. The Irish footy legend has aged incredibly well given he's only a few months short of turning 66 and hitting the pensionable mark. Advertisement 2 McGrath in his pomp while starring at the 1994 World Cup in the US 2 The 65-year-old still looked fit as a fiddle while celebrating in Rosslare's Kelly's Resort Hotel Credit: @paulnumber5 The former Aston Villa and Manchester United defensive rock captioned it: "Celebrating my granddaughter Talia's 15th birthday." A common theme among the replies from his Instagram followers was how his appearance belies his advanced age. In slightly theatrical fashion, Keith asked: "Is that you on the left or right Paul?!" Another social media user extended that sentiment to include Talia. They gushed: "The resemblance is remarkable among the three of you, happy birthday young lady!" Advertisement Finally Maia Dunphy noted: "What a gorgeous photo!! Your son is the image of you!!" The two clubs the centre-back hero is most associated with are actually currently mired in one of the summer's most layered transfer sagas. Villa's star striker Ollie Watkins is ready to step into the void if Man Utd are unable to lure Benjamin Sesko to the club. Newcastle have launched a £78m bid to try to beat United to the Slovenia international, with RB Leipzig now keen to do business with the Toon. Advertisement And there is growing scepticism in Germany that PSR-stricken Man Utd will come in with an offer to compete with Eddie Howe's side, who have the advantage of being able to attract a nine-figure fee for Alexander Isak. SunSport understands that following interest from Arsenal in January, Watkins feels the time is right to leave Villa Park. Fans slam 'utter woke nonsense' as Tottenham star announces bizarre kit number change And his wishes may overlap with Aston Villa's, who also face a battle to keep their summer spending within PSR limits. The Villans were fined by Uefa earlier this summer for breaching the European body's financial rules. Advertisement Unai Emery had been keen to sell the likes of Jacob Ramsey and Leon Bailey to meet the Premier League's requirements, but have yet to receive the interest they had hoped for. As a result, a bid of between £40m and £50m could be enough to prize Watkins from Villa. BONUS OF THE BUY This would also have the bonus of giving United funds to spare to solve their other major problem position - holding midfield. But a move for Watkins is not inevitable if Man Utd are unable to attract Sesko. Advertisement SunSport understands that Ruben Amorim is looking at two strikers playing in his home country of Portugal. Samu Aghehowa scored 27 goals for Porto last season after agreeing a deal with Chelsea which fell through over an ankle injury and image rights. And Benfica's Vangelis Pavlidis, who scored 30 goals last term, made a name for himself in England by scoring twice at Wembley as Greece nabbed a shock 2-1 win against the Three Lions. Meanwhile, Fabrizio Romano claims that Juventus have offered Dusan Vlahovic to United if the Red Devils are unable to sign Sesko.

Huge boost for Republic of Ireland star Gavin Bazunu just in time for looming World Cup qualifiers
Gavin Bazunu is not the only Irish goalkeeper who looks like they will be getting lots of first team action this season 'DONE WELL' Huge boost for Republic of Ireland star Gavin Bazunu just in time for looming World Cup qualifiers NEW Southampton manager Will Still has confirmed that Gavin Bazunu is the Saints' No. 1 for the new Championship season. Ireland goalkeeper Bazunu, 23, is back fully fit after a long-term Achilles injury suffered in April 2024 and then a knee problem picked up while on loan at Standard Liege last April. 2 The 23-year-old became second choice for the Saints after the signing of Aaron Ramsdale 2 The former Man City and Shamrock Rovers keeper has earned 22 caps for Ireland so far His spell in Belgium came because he was down the pecking order at Southampton when he returned to fitness last January. But following the departure of Aaron Ramsdale on loan for Newcastle, Still has confirmed that Bazunu will be back between the posts this season after impressing in camp in Spain. He said: 'I think Gavin's done really well. I think he played really well last week out in Spain. He's done well, he's good, and I think as long as he's been as good as he is, he'll play.' Still confirmed he is in the market for a goalkeeper to compete with Bazunu and veteran Alex McCarthy. He added: ' I think I've always said that. We need to check for numbers. Do we get an extra one in? I think we'll work that out over the course of the next few weeks. 'It's just balancing out and identifying what we can get and when we can get it and how it all works. We'll wait and see.' But Bazunu's confirmation is No. 1 will help him push to regain his spot in the Ireland team that he held before his injury in 2024. In his absence Caoimhín Kelleher has nailed down the spot while his transfer to Brentford from Liverpool also secures him more first team action for this season. Mark Travers' is likely to find opportunities limited at Everton behind Jordan Pickford following his move from Bournemouth. And new cap Max O'Leary remains first choice at Bristol City while former Ireland Under-21 goalkeeper Josh Keeley has joined League One Luton Town this season to get first team action.
