Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said he is sure he would agree to take the Manchester United manager s job on a permanent basis if the club offer it to him at the end of the season.

In an interview with Sky Sports, the 45-year-old said: My job is for the next five months, because I m going to leave them to someone else when they come in.
That s the plan and that…

Unlike fellow club AC Milan, Inter have had a pretty poor mercato so far. What is happening with the Nerazzuri, and can they get it together?
Bye, Bye, Banega
Inter have already sold a key player this year in Banega, and there should be more sales to come. Caprari, Banega, and Juan Jesus have all left for a decent sum, although Banega s €9 million transfer fee has left some perplexed, especially considering Biglia, a player of similar caliber, was sold for €20 million to Milan.
Most of these sales are due to FFP regulations, Inter trying to recoup some of the losses in recent years. seems to be headed out to Manchester U…
According to a recent report from Calciomercato, AC Milan have resumed their interest in Donny van de Beek. The 22 year old has been able to shine this season as one of the featured members of Ajax’s incredible campaign, in which they’ve been able to reach the semi finals of the UEFA Champions League. The Dutch international, who made his pro debut for Ajax back in 2015, was close to signing with AC Milan two years ago before the deal fell apart. Ajax value the forward at around £50 million, although Milan could be set to face some stiff competition for his signature.
All eyes have been on the other big names for Ajax in their European run this season, when in reality, van de Beek has been just as influential – which is pretty encouraging when you consider the fact that …
Ander Herrera is keen to remain at Manchester United despite interest from Barcelona, according to ESPN.
The midfield’s current deal at Old Trafford is set to expire at the end of this season, though the Red Devils are set to offer him fresh terms to avoid him being able to leave on a free transfer next summer.

Since arriving in Manchester in the summer of 2013, Herrera has played one hundred and sixty-three times in all competitions, scoring seventee…

Barcelona president Joan Laporta has not ruled out the possibility of Lionel Messi and Andres Iniesta returning to the club in the future.
Speaking at an event presenting Dani Alves to over 10,000 fans at the Camp Nou, Laporta suggested the return of the Brazilian right-back might not be the only reunion in the coming years.
Iniesta left Barca to sign for Japanese side Vissel Kobe in 2018, while debts of more than €1.2billion meant the Blaugrana could not afford to sign Messi to a new contract, leading to the Argentine moving to Paris Saint-Germain in August.
I do not rule it out, Laporta said when asked about the possibility of Messi and Iniesta returning.
It has happened with Dani, and I want to thank him because he has seen the situation of t…
Atletico Madrid and France forward Antoine Griezmann has become a player constantly linked with moves elsewhere. Reports earlier this year suggested that Griezmann regretted signing a new deal with Atletico last summer and that he wanted to move on this summer.
