United want £40m for Antony
Manchester United want £40 million for their Brazilian winger Antony, who is on loan at Real Betis for the second half of the season.
The Mirror reports that the player would like to stay at the Spanish club next season, and United are keen to raise funds.
The Mirror writes: "The Brazilian completed a loan move to Real Betis in January after an awful spell at Old Trafford.
"He has scored four goals and notched a further four assists in just 10 appearances, having netted just once for The Red Devils this season.
"Antony is now prioritising a move back to Betis once his loan deal expires, despite interest from their La Liga rivals Real Betis.
"United are apparently keen to recoup around £40m should they sell Antony permanently."
Hojlund linked with United exit
The Daily Express reports that Manchester United forward Rasmus Hojlund has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford.
Ruben Amorim is said to be ready to sell the Danish international in order to help rebuild the United squad.
The paper writes: "Hojlund arrived at United with the weight of the world on his shoulders, joining in a £72 million transfer from Atalanta with a desperate lack of competition.
"The Denmark international was the club's top goalscorer in his debut season, netting 16 times in all competitions, but has regressed this term.
"He's plundered just seven goals across 38 games, including only two in the Premier League, and has failed to find the net in 21 consecutive appearances. Hojlund's lack of success in front of goal has taken its toll, limiting the United No. 9's confidence to get a shot away when the opportunity arises.
"And some reports go as far as to claim the Portuguese tactician is already ready to cash in on Hojlund to fund a swoop for guaranteed goals."
Brighton set to sign Yun
The Athletic believes that Brighton & Hove Albion are closing in on the signing of 18-year-old Yun Do-young.
The Daejeon Hana Citizen winger is expected to go out on loan next season to help him win a work permit.
The website explains: "Brighton & Hove Albion are set to complete the signing of South Korean winger Yun Do-young.
"The 18-year-old will fly into the UK on Sunday to finalise a move from Daejeon Hana Citizen. Personal terms have been agreed after Brighton met a release clause in Do-young’s contract with the K1 club. He is expected to sign a four-year deal, subject to passing a medical scheduled for Monday.
"Yun will follow a similar pathway to Brighton’s 27-year-old Japanese winger Kaoru Mitoma by going out on loan in Europe next season to build up enough merit points for a UK work permit. Mitoma spent a season on loan with Union Saint-Gilloise in Belgium’s top flight after signing from Kawasaki Frontale in Japan in August 2021 at the age of 24."
Ratcliffe ends Tottenham deal
Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s company, Ineos, has ended its ties with Manchester United’s Premier League rivals Tottenham.
Ineos and Spurs had a sponsorship deal regarding the Grenadier vehicle, but that has been brought to an end.
The Mail states: "Manchester United co-owners Ineos have made an early exit from their sponsorship deal with Tottenham after a pay-off agreement was reached, Inside Sport understands.
"Last month, we reported how amicable discussions were taking place with a view to Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s petrochemicals giant withdrawing prematurely from a five-year deal signed in 2022.
"Ineos were the official 4 x 4 partner of Spurs via their Grenadier vehicle and the curious sight of their branding on the dugouts and advertisement screens at a Premier League rival was the result of a deal signed well before their involvement at Old Trafford and thought to be worth several millions per season.
"However, it was no longer visible during Tottenham’s Europa League victory over AZ Alkmaar on Thursday night.
"And Mail Sport has been told a deal has been agreed which sees Ineos paying a ‘not insignificant sum’ thought to be in the millions to end the deal."
