The Argentinian World Cup finalist made his debut on 27th August 2015 and has gone onto make 28 appearances for the club, with the most recent being the UEFA Europa League final victory over AFC Ajax in Stockholm. Sergio Romero said: “I am delighted to have signed a new contract.  Who wouldn’t want to be at the biggest club in the world?  We have great goalkeepers here and we are always learning from each other. Of course, it was a very proud moment for me and my family to be part of the Europa League final, and I am looking forward to helping the team build on last season’s success in 2017/18.” José Mourinho said: “Sergio is a great goalkeeper and professional.  He had a good season and outstanding performances, especially in our Europa League su

Zlatan Ibrahimovic rejects £6.5m LA Galaxy offer: He wants to rejoin Man Utd

Image
ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC has reportedly rejected a £6.5million offer from MLS side LA Galaxy in a bid to rejoin Manchester United. Ibrahimovic joined  Manchester United  last summer and went on to score 28 goals in an excellent season but his campaign was cut short when he suffered a knee injury in April.   With the 35-year-old not expected back until towards the end of the year, United opted to release him from his contract. But Ibrahimovic has made clear he is determined to play football again and not retire - a decision that has led to interest from MLS sides LA Galaxy and Los Angeles FC. But Italian outlet Calciomercato say Ibrahimovic has turned down a £6.5m contract from LA Galaxy because he want to play for United again. And last week, United boss Jose Mourinho was open to the idea of Ibrahimovic returning in January. He said: “Possible, it’s open, of course we wanted to be honest and open and let everything for him to make the decision. “At the same time let’

Wayne Rooney gives Romelu Lukaku a piece of advice for Manchester United career

Image
Wayne Rooney has warned Romelu Lukaku he must show mental strength if he wants to be a success at Manchester United. United snared Lukaku from Everton in a move reportedly worth an initial £75million on Monday, the striker signing a five-year contract with an option of a sixth. That followed Rooney making an emotional return to Goodison Park by moving in the other direction, 13 years after initially leaving for Old Trafford, where he became the club's all-time record goalscorer. Rooney, 31, believes Lukaku has the ability to succeed for Jose Mourinho's side, but must avoid self-doubt if he is to handle the scrutiny of playing for such a massive side. "Playing for Manchester United is a test of character," Rooney, who scored a wondergoal in his second Everton debut against Gor Mahia on Thursday, told reporters. You've got to be strong enough mentally to accept the challenge. United are a football club that demands success. Romelu has to be strong enou

Adnan Januzaj: Man Utd agree fee of about £9.8m with Real Sociedad

Image
Manchester United have agreed a fee of about £9.8m with Real Sociedad for Belgium winger Adnan Januzaj. Januzaj, 22, was told he could find another club this summer by United manager Jose Mourinho. He returned from an unsuccessful campaign  on loan at Sunderland  and was left out of Mourinho's squad for the pre-season tour of the United States. Januzaj, who has also had a stint  on loan at Borussia Dortmund  in 2015-16, is set to have a medical on Wednesday. Januzaj  joined United from Anderlecht  when he was 16 and broke into the first team in 2013 during David Moyes' ill-fated spell in charge. Deemed good enough to take Ryan Giggs' number 11 shirt, Januzaj signed a five-year contract extension that was not due to expire until 2018. Real Sociedad finished sixth in La Liga last season and will compete in the Europa League group stage in 2017-18.

Manchester United closing in on world-record transfer deal for Everton striker Romelu Lukaku

Image
Manchester United  are set to hijack  Chelsea’s  summer move for  Everton  striker  Romelu Lukaku , according to reports. The Belgian appeared on the verge of a return to Stamford Bridge after another superb season at Goodison Park, in which he scored 25 Premier League goals. But United have held interest in Lukaku for several months and the  Daily Mail  say Jose Mourinho is ready to spend £100million to bring him to Old Trafford. The Portuguese boss is in the market for a star striker after Zlatan Ibrahimovic was released by the club following a serious injury. Mourinho made Antoine Griezmann his priority target earlier in the summer but, after missing out on the Atletico Madrid man, has turned to alternative targets. The Belgium international has scored 53 goals since joining the Toffees in 2014, developing into one of the most formidable strikers in Europe. The Toffees are resigned to losing Lukaku in the coming weeks but will hold out for £100m and could also attempt

Radja Nainggolan to United?

Roma midfielder Radja Nainggolan is a top-class player but his Indonesian heritage adds to the appeal for Manchester United's marketing department, writes Adam Bate. Manchester United's global appeal is extraordinary and that is seldom more apparent than in Indonesia. A club-commissioned study once calculated that they have as many as 54.5 million supporters in the country. Indeed, the official United supporters' club in Indonesia boasts almost one million Twitter followers and is the largest group anywhere in the world. So it is fair to say that the reports linking Radja Nainggolan with a summer move to Old Trafford have caused something of a stir on the streets of Jakarta and beyond. The Roma midfielder may be a Belgium international but there is more to his heritage than that. Nainggolan's father Marianus is from Indonesia, a fact that the player takes great pride in. "I grew up with the desire to discover the great culture of these two very different c
