Manchester United appear to be one of two clubs leading the race to sign an in-demand gem, and a new update has been shared when the Red Devils may hear if they are going to be successful.

What’s the latest Man United transfer news?

It turned out to be an eventful few months at Old Trafford off the pitch, with several incomings and outgoings in the transfer market and a takeover failing to materialise.

In total, United and Erik ten Hag brought in seven new players, with the likes of Rasmus Hojlund, Andre Onana and Mason Mount joining in big-money deals. The club also received fees for six players in permanent exits and even sealed late loan moves for Sofyan Amrabat and Sergio Reguilon from Fiorentina and Tottenham Hotspur.

However, despite the transfer window shutting, it looks as if the Red Devils are still trying to put deals in place ahead of the New Year.

One youngster who was linked with a move to Old Trafford last month was Dino Klapija from Croatian side Kustosija. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano said that talks were held over a deal, with RB Leipzig also keen.

“Understand Manchester United and RB Leipzig are both negotiating to sign top talent Dino Klapija — also an option to close the deal now for January Decision on player side expected soon as 2007 born striker will leave Croatian side NK Kustosija soon.”

There has now been a further update, showing how there could soon be a further development.

According to The Daily Mail, ‘Klapija hopes to have a clearer idea of whether he will move to the club after the international break’. It is believed that United and Leipzig are the clubs in pole position to sign the 16-year-old ahead of AC Milan, Barcelona, Chelsea and Juventus and are willing to pay £5m to seal a deal.

Who is Dino Klapija?

Klapija is a centre-forward who previously turned out as a midfielder and is actually yet to make his senior debut for NK Kustosija but has been capped by Croatia at U17 level.

Born in the USA, Klapija was previously on the books of New York City and appears to be a highly-rated teenager going off the clubs who have shown an interest in his services.

He could well be the next player to make the move to Carrington after the club moved on a number of youngsters in recent months.

The likes of Matej Kovar, Teden Mengi, Zidane Iqbal, Charlie Savage and Marc Jurado have all left Old Trafford, with the club adding in some beneficial sell-on and buy-back clauses as well as achievable long-term add-ons.

Should Klapija choose United over Leipzig in the coming days, weeks or months, then you’d expect that he may go into the club’s academy ranks before a potential loan move away looking to get a first taste of senior football.

It could be a while until he progresses into the first team, but after rejecting a £4m move for Erling Haaland previously, United won’t want a repeat when it comes to Klapija.

كشف أندريه بيكي المدرب المساعد لـ جوزيه جوميز المدير الفني لفريق الكرة بـ الزمالك، عن رأيه في صفقات القلعة البيضاء الأخيرة وسبب تراجع نتائج الأبيض في الدوري المصري.

وقال أندريه بيكي في تصريحات تلفزيونية عبر قناة اون تايم سبورتس: “فخورون بتواجد الثنائي عبد الله السعيد وناصر ماهر معنا، زادا من مستوانا، عبد الله السعيد ينطبق عليه مقولة العمر مجرد رقم، فهو لاعب محترف”.

وتابع: “ناصر ماهر مصر كلها تعرفه، لاعب رائع جدًا، عندما انضم كان يحتاج لرفع اللياقة البدنية، ومحمد شحاتة لاعب جيد، ونحن فخورون بهؤلاء اللاعبين وينفذون ما يطلبه المدرب”.

وأضاف: “عبد الله السعيد لاعب رائع، ودائمًا المدير الفني يضرب به المثل في كل شيء، يأتي مُبكرًا ولا يغضب أبدًا كلنا نحبه، لا أحد في الفريق يستطيع أن يقول شيء سيء عنه، نحن سعداء بهذا الفريق”.

وبسؤاله عن سبب النتائج غير الجيدة في الدوري المصري، أجاب: “الدوري ليس سهلا، أنا هنا منذ 4 أشهر، ولدينا فريق كبير العدد والكثير من الإصابات، علينا أن ننظر للأمور بشكل إيجابي”.

واستطرد: “نحن خسرنا مباراتين والباقي فزنا به، وأمامنا 17 مباراة لو فزنا بهم جميعًا سنكون أبطال الدوري، علينا العمل والتحسن وإعداد الفريق لأي سيناريو”.

وأوضح: “الزمالك فريق كبير ولا يستحق مكانته الحالية في الدوري، لكن علينا دفع الفريق وأن تتحلى الجماهير بالصبر، نحن فزنا بكأس الكونفدرالية وعندنا إصابات وبدون ناصر وعبد الله، بالنسبة لي على الجماهير أن تصبر ويدعمون الفريق، وخلال الفترة القادمة سنكون أفضل”.

وبسؤاله من لاعبي الزمالك يُمكنه اللعب في أوروبا؟، أردف: “أنا هنا منذ أشهر قليلة، ولدينا لاعبين رائعين، عبد الله السعيد رغم أنه 38 عامًا ولكن يُمكنه اللعب في أي مكان، وزيزو وناصر ماهر كذلك”.

كيف ترى مباراة السوبر الإفريقي؟ أجاب: “شيء جيد لكلا الفريقين ولمصر، وأتمنى أن نفوز بها، كل المباريات صعبة، لا يوجد شيء سهل، سنستعد بشكل طيب لكي نفوز بالكأس، لكن الوقت مازال بعيدًا، نريد أن نعرف الآن ماذا نعمل في نهاية الأسبوع أمام سيراميكا كليوباترا”.

واختتم: “حسام عبد المجيد لاعب صغير السن، وشيكابالا سبق ولعب في أوروبا من قبل، لاعبو الزمالك يمتلكون إمكانيات ويفكرون في الكرة بطريقة صحيحة، كل ما علينا هو الصبر، والموسم المُقبل سنكون أفضل بالتأكيد”.

Whilst Aston Villa have been far from perfect in the Premier League so far this season, Unai Emery's side have at least shown glimpses of what could come, once the former Arsenal manager fine tunes his tactical plan.

The Villans, of course, got off to a disastrous start on the opening day, losing 5-1 against Newcastle United. Since then, however, they have won three out of four games, with their only other loss coming at Anfield against Liverpool.

Coming from behind to defeat Crystal Palace 3-1 last time out, too, it's clear that the Midlands club are beginning to find that form. And now, they've reportedly turned their attention towards the January transfer window, eyeing up a move for a certain La Liga star.

What's the latest Aston Villa transfer news?

Villa had one of the most impressive transfer windows in England's top flight, spending a reported €93m (£80m) on five fresh faces, in total. The most successful of those arrivals so far has been Moussa Diaby. The former Bayer Leverkusen winger has hit the ground running, scoring two goals and assisting a further two in five Premier League games.

There's no doubt that Emery will have European aspirations this season, after taking Villa to Europa Conference League qualification last season, and with that, January reinforcements could still come in.

According to reports in Spain, via Caught Offside, the Midlands club are keen on signing Real Sociedad defender Robin Le Normand, who reportedly has a release clause of €60 million (£51.6m).

As things stand, Emery could do with another centre-back option following the long-term injury to Tyrone Mings, which has left the Frenchman with Ezri Konsa, Pau Torres, Diego Carlos, and Calum Chambers to call on for most of the campaign.

Should Aston Villa sign Robin Le Normand?

Welcoming a player of Le Normand's quality would once again confirm that Aston Villa are in the process of reaching a new level under Emery, which started with European qualification last season, and progressed with the signing of Diaby in the summer.

Statistically speaking, Le Normand has been a standout in La Liga in the last few years. According to FBref, the Spaniard is in the top 97 percentile for aerial duels won per 90, the top 76 percentile for pass completion rate, as well as the top 77 and 78 percentiles for progressive carries and progressive passes per 90, to more than earn his reported £46k per-week at Sociedad.

Meanwhile, compared to Konsa, Torres, and Carlos this season, Le Normand stands out in several areas, as per FBref, which you can see below:

With that said, it'll be interesting to see whether Villa trigger Le Normand's release clause. It's clear that he has that extra quality to potentially help them improve even further, and perhaps even take them to Europa League qualification this season, making the potential move one to keep an eye on.

Sheldon Cottrell suffered the injury during West Indies’ first group game, against UAE, in which he bowled only 4.4 overs

ESPNcricinfo staff09-Mar-2018

A hamstring injury has ruled West Indies fast bowler Sheldon Cottrell out of the remainder of the ongoing ICC World Cup Qualifier in Zimbabwe. Cottrell suffered the injury during West Indies’ first group game, against UAE, in which he bowled only 4.4 overs; he has been replaced by uncapped Guyana right-arm quick Keemo Paul.Paul, 20, shot into the limelight during West Indies’ Under-19 World Cup victory in 2016, but their run to the title was controversial because of the fast bowler’s actions. In their final group match against Zimbabwe – a game West Indies had to win to make the quarter-finals – Paul effected a mankad to dismiss the last wicket. In the final, against India, Paul hit the winning runs.Paul has 82 wickets across first-class and List A cricket, with a bowling average of 17.35 and 21.32 in the two formats respectively.With two wins in two games – the second against Papua New Guinea – West Indies are currently second position in Group A, trailing Ireland by virtue of an inferior net run rate. The two sides will face each other on March 10 in Harare.

O Conselho Administrativo de Defesa Econômica (Cade) enviou, na última sexta-feira (02), uma solicitação à secretaria da Presidência da República pela votação da Medida Provisória 984 (MP do Mandante). A Câmara dos Deputados e o Senado também foram notificados pela instituição. A informação foi publicada pelo Uol.

A MP concede ao time mandante os direitos de transmissão das partidas de futebol. O Cade entende que a medida pode propiciar o aumento da concorrência de empresas de mídia no setor e, portanto, solicitou a votação antes do dia 17 de outubro – data prevista para que o texto “caduque” e perca a validade.

O Corinthians tem um trunfo no banco de reservas para vencer a Copa do Brasil: o técnico Vagner Mancini. O experiente comandante possui bons números na carreira quando o assunto é o mata-mata nacional.

Sua primeira experiência na competição já foi com título. Em 2005, Mancini treinava o Paulista de Jundiaí e conquistou o título do torneio ao bater o Fluminense na grande final. Ao longo do caminho, o time paulista derrotou Juventude, Botafogo, Internacional, Figueirense e Cruzeiro.

Em 2013, Mancini também chegou a grande final do mata-mata nacional, desta vez comandando o Athletico Paranaense. Porém, o Furacão perdeu a grande decisão para o Flamengo, no Maracanã.

Ao longo da carreira, o técnico do Corinthians teve 21 classificações na Copa do Brasil e foi eliminado apenas sete vezes no torneio. Nesta temporada, ele dirigiu o Atlético-GO que eliminou o Fluminense. Na carreira, Mancini tem 55 jogos na Copa do Brasil, com 22 vitórias, 19 derrotas e 14 empates, um aproveitamento de 48%.

Leeds United have made a strong start to the campaign and look to now be taking things up a notch as the memory of Victor Orta fades into the abyss at Elland Road, according to reports.

What's the latest news involving Leeds United?

Speaking to LUTV, Leeds United defender Sam Byram has taken encouragement from his side's 3-0 victory over Watford last weekend and has indicated that the Whites are starting to build some consistency heading into their upcoming fixtures.

Byram stated: "We know we have quality all over the pitch; we created a lot of chances at the first half, so we knew it was just a matter of time. There was a few times when we pressed really well and won the ball back you could feel the whole stadium roar and it lifts you on the pitch.

"I think we did well to nullify their attacking players as they have some quality in the attacking areas, but overall, I thought it was a well-deserved win. I said before the game if we could win against Watford it would have been a very good week, we’re building momentum now and hopefully we can keep going that way."

In some bad news, The Sun report that Crystal Palace are keen on Leeds United youngster Archie Gray, who has become an important cog on Daniel Farke's engine room since the start of this term. The report claims that Leeds may be forced to cash in on Gray if they don't win promotion to the Premier League at the first time of asking and Crystal Palace are looking to get a head start on other potential suitors to land the England Under-19 international.

Pundit Carlton Palmer has indicated to Football League World that Gray should look to stay at Leeds for the time being, as he said in an interview with the outlet: "It’s always important for a young player to be getting minutes, and he’s getting that and playing at Leeds United at such a tender age. He’s unlikely to move to a Premier League club and play every week, so it’d be best to stay where you are."

Who are Leeds United looking to bring in off the field?

Leeds Live journalist Beren Cross has issued an update detailing some exciting off-field developments at Elland Road that will be enacted by the 49ers, stating on social media platform X: "Three weeks on from summer window, Leeds have launched hiring process for multiple transfer roles, including head of recruitment. Would work with Farke and Steinsson. Scouts wanted across Europe and UK in further restructure following Orta's tenure."

In an attached report from Leeds Live, further insight reveals that Leeds United want scouts privy to potential additions across France, Scandinavia, Germany, Holland, Belgium and across Britain. Technical scouts will also be deployed to try and maximise the Whites' recruitment potential relating to data and uncovering players suited to playing in Farke's system.

Leeds United sit sixth in the league table and have not lost in their last six Sky Bet Championship fixtures, as they now seem to be putting the building blocks in place off the pitch to breed sustainable success.

The new Australia captain wanted to foster an environment where players did not feel they had to conform to a narrow idea of what an Australian Test cricketer should be

Daniel Brettig in Johannesburg30-Mar-2018Tim Paine began his first day as fully-fledged Australian captain with one small but significant departure from custom by initiating a pre-game handshake between all players and ended it by flagging a revolutionary departure from custom, at least for his team, by announcing a firm redefinition of the captain’s role.As the teams began their warm-ups on an overcast Johannesburg morning, he approached his opposite number Faf du Plessis to ask whether the two teams might shake hands at the end of the national anthems, a gesture common to football but only seen in international cricket after a match. Given the events of Cape Town and the fate befalling Steven Smith, David Warner and Cameron Bancroft, Paine unsurprisingly has been thinking a lot about the image of the game. The handshakes were a telling way to show it.”I’ve been watching this week and they’ve had the soccer on and I notice they do that every game,” Paine said. “I thought cricket is the gentlemans’s game and I spoke to our players about how it was something I wanted to bring in. I waited for Faf to come out today and spoke to him and he was happy to do that. I think he thought it was a good idea and who knows, maybe other sides and South Africa may start to use it as well.”It’s not something we are going to do every Test match, but it is not a bad way to start a Test series. I think it’s something that we will use going forward; I just think it’s a good show of sportsmanship and respect. In this series, there’s been a lot of water under the bridge and a bit of tension between the two sides, we want to be super competitive but we also want to be respectful of our opposition, so it was important we showed that. It’s something we want to take forward and, if other teams want to do, we’ll do it to start every series.”It was still competitive, there wasn’t too much verbal going on back and forth between the two sides, we’ve spoken a bit about that as a group, about that going forward that is not the way we are going to play our cricket. It still felt like a Test match, it was still really competitive, we were playing a different style but as well a lot of the guys were thinking about some other things or were a little bit flat.”‘Time for Lehmann to heal’ – Paine

One more contrast came from the pair of South Australians in the tour squad – the coach Darren Lehmann now overseeing his last Test match and the seam and swing bowler Chadd Sayers playing in his first. Paine said the decision to quit had appeared to lift plenty of weight from Lehmann’s shoulders, while the opportunity to play for Australia after five years on the fringes had been very welcome for Sayers, who does not conform to the Australian idea of a fast bowler but now has two wickets and the respect of South Africa.
“[Lehmann’s] been a little bit more laid-back today to be honest,” Paine said. “I think what we sensed yesterday and he even touched upon it himself was just a little bit of relief. It’s obviously been really difficult, and he’s been copping a fair amount of flak and so have his family, so I think for him to take that away from them and for him to be able to move on and try to heal a bit from what’s happened, I can sense a bit of relief and a load off his shoulders.
“I thought [Chadd] did really well. Obviously he was really nervous, but Chaddy’s the sort of bowler where he’s always at you. He did it again today, he bowled 25, 26 overs, which is a really big effort here in the altitude. A lot of the boys were really blowing, but Chaddy keeps on trucking on so we’re really rapt for him to get a game and take a few wickets late get some some rewards for his earlier hard work.”

A little over six hours after the handshakes, Paine sat before the media and contemplated leadership beyond this day. Should he remain captain, he said he wanted to redefine the post as a collaborative part of a wider whole, rather than the traditional branding of it as the major leadership rose above all others. Paine is clearly not a subscriber to the oft-quoted line that the position of Australian captain is second only to that of the Prime Minister.”I think at the moment that it’s something that I probably will be doing,” Paine said when asked whether he would want the captaincy long-term. “I have not put a hell of a lot of thought into anything past this week. Now we’ve also got a new coach that’s got to be appointed, who’s going to want a say on the way we go about it, the way I go about it.”My captaincy style will be – I’ve never been a big believer in the cricket team being the captain’s team, I think that’s a bit old school. When you didn’t have all the resources that we do now, I see the captain’s role as being that link between the players and the staff and just a really small, privileged role within Cricket Australia. But it’s just one part of the wheel and I’ll be trying to be very involving of all my staff, all my players and that’s the way I operate best.Australia captain Tim Paine leads the team out•Getty Images

“A lot of our focus as a team has been around this week, we are not looking too far ahead at this moment. I know it’s a cliche in sport that you get that ‘one week at a time’, but at the moment we’re taking it one day at a time and slowly trying to build back the respect of the cricket world, our fans and the public. We know we’ve got a long journey ahead of us to get where we want to get to, but the last couple of days have been the start of that long journey.”Paine has gained most of his leadership experience as a lieutenant of George Bailey in Tasmania. He said that he wanted to foster an environment where players did not feel they had to conform to a narrow idea of what an Australian Test cricketer should be. Instead, they needed to be themselves, with the team broadening its horizons to make allowances for that sort of diversity.”We still want to keep a really competitive brand of cricket but I think there’s times we’ve got to be more respectful of our opposition, we’ve got to be more respectful of the game of cricket,” Paine said. “At times we’ve tended to push the boundaries as far as we possibly could. I think that we’ve seen that people probably don’t like that, so it’s time for us to change.”We’re happy to do that, I think it actually suits this group of players, we’re a different group of players than Australia have had for a long time, we haven’t got too many guys that like to verbalise and have that sort of really hard-nosed Australian approach. We’re about creating an environment where guys can come in and play cricket and just be themselves. I think if we can achieve that then we’ll have guys having better results as well.”Paine’s desire to establish a culture that was inclusive even led him to picture the returns of the players who had been banned for ball-tampering. The anguish shown by Smith and Bancroft upon their arrival home had clearly left a mark. “I think a few guys watched it and I think it really cut them up, as it did anyone that watched that,” Paine said.”We saw how difficult it was and how much not playing for Australia is hurting those guys. I think it’s really important for us to realise how lucky and privileged we are. We want to make this environment in the Australian cricket team one that people can come in, be themselves and play their cricket to their best of their ability. And we want to have that sorted by the time that those guys are ready to come back into this team.”Reflecting on the events of the past week, Paine quipped that his visiting wife had not seen much of him due to all of the many meetings and coffees needed to try to rebuild a team that had lost so much in the space of only a few days. “It’s been strange and very difficult,” he said. “I don’t think my wife’s too happy, I’ve hardly seen her for the last couple of days and she’s come over for it.”It’s just been really challenging for everyone involved. It’s a really stressful time and our thoughts are certainly with our team-mates who aren’t here at the moment. We’ve had conversations and a lot of coffees with each other talking about what we’re going to do to change and how we’re going to do that going forward. From all this dark cloud at some stage there’s going to be a silver lining and I think all the guys are really keen to be involved in how that looks.”We’ll look to get through this week and we go home. We’ve got a fair bit of time off and potentially a new coach will come in and share some ideas with us. Got a fair bit of time before our next Test where we can all get together and I’m going to be very involving of our whole staff and playing group. We’ll all sit down and map out how that looks, how we’re going to play.”

O programa de sócio-torcedor do Flamengo está de cara e nome novo. Agora chama-se apenas Nação. A remodelação foi anunciada pela diretoria em programa na FlaTV, que contou com a participação do presidente Rodolfo Landim, do VP de futebol Marcos Braz e do VP de Comunicação e Marketing Gustavo Oliveira – este último foi o responsável por explicar o novo conceito.

-Uma marca deve ser simples, com entendimento direto do que representa e bonita. O grande mérito dessa nova marca do sócio-torcedor do Flamengo é que ela junta as coisas mais representativas da torcida do Flamengo. A bandeira do Flamengo tremulando nos estádios, nas ruas, é uma das coisas mais representativas da torcida, então trouxemos isso. O segundo é o nome: Nação. Não precisa falar mais nada. O rubro-negro sabe o que é a Nação. Os outros podem pensar outra coisa, que é o Brasil… Acho que ficou uma marca muito bonita, muito forte, e representa exatamente o que queremos: a ligação do Flamengo com sua torcida e seu sócio-torcedor – afirmou Gustavo Oliveira.

A nova interface e site do programa Nação estará disponível a partir da próxima quarta-feira, dia 28. Contudo, Gustavo Oliveira adiantou algumas das novidades que os sócios-torcedores do Flamengo terão com a reformulação do programa.

-Tem muita coisa de conteúdo exclusivo. A FlaTV trabalhando muito, e terão programas exclusivos para o sócio-torcedor, muita coisa referente a troca da pontuação: camisas, ingressos. Tem um programa que acho espetacular que é um estímulo ao pequeno empreendedor, ainda mais neste momento. Sendo sócio, este poderá oferecer um pequeno específico a outros sócios, e terá seu nome colocado na lista de empresas que oferecem desconto aos sócios. Vamos abrir, a partir do dia 28, um processo de cadastramento de empresas pequenas que terão desconto para esse sócio-torcedor empreendedor. Um lado social muito importante. São muitos benefícios. O maior de todos, para aquele que pode, é estar patrocinando a paixão dele, nos tornando um time mais forte.

LANDIM E BRAZ DESTACAM IMPORTÂNCIA DO PROGRAMA

Se o Flamengo conquistou o que conquistou recentemente foi por conta do alto investimento feito no elenco e na estrutura do departamento de futebol, com a modernização do Ninho do Urubu e do departamento médico, por exemplo. O programa de sócio-torcedor, há algumas temporadas, é a segunda receita recorrente mais importante no clube, o que fez o presidente Rodolfo Landim e o vice-presidente Marcos Braz destacarem a importância dos sócios para o sucesso e desempenho em alto nível da equipe rubro-negra em campo.

-Em termos de receitas recorrentes, o programa de sócio-torcedor, junto com bilheteria, é a segunda receita mais importante do Flamengo, abaixo de direitos de transmissão. É fundamental para definir o patamar de investimentos e de custos operacionais que o Flamengo terá e, consequentemente, colocar em campo uma equipe competitiva para buscar os campeonatos que almejamos. É fundamental. Agradeço a todos sócios que se mantiveram fiéis ao clube neste momento que foram impedidos de ir ao estádio. Foi fundamental para mantermos os nossos compromissos – afirmou o presidente Rodolfo Landim.

-É a previsibilidade dessa receita. Quando vamos ao mercado, com o nome que o Flamengo tem, bem posicionado na parte esportiva, há uma facilidade para trazer esses jogadores.
