| Solskjaer insists he will not axe blundering keeper De Gea despite number of high-profile mistakes
|
 OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER insists he has no plans to take out-of-form keeper David de Gea out of the firing line. The Spain international's woes continued when he failed to keep out Leroy Sane's goal in Wednesday's Manchester derby. David De Gea dropped another clanger in the defeat in the Manchester derbyPA:Empics Sport That followed a high profile blunder at Barcelona earlier this month – and he has not kept a clean sheet in 12 matches. United's goals against column is their worst ever in Premier League history and there are still three matches to play. Former United keeper Gary Bailey believes now is the time for him to be given a rest and let Sergio Romero have a go. Asked if that was possible, Solskjaer said: "No. Not at all. Because I trust David. "For me, he's been the best player United have had last six or seven years, absolutely outstanding.

| Athletic Bilbao make last-gasp contract offer to Man Utd ace Herrera putting PSG transfer in doubt
|
 ANDER HERRERA has plenty of options on the table for next season with former club Athletic Bilbao reportedly arriving with a fresh approach for the Spaniard. Manchester United remain hopeful of keeping the out-of-contract star despite a big salary put forward by Paris Saint-Germain. Herrera spent three successful years in Bilbao before joining UnitedReuters Both L'Equipe and RMC say Athletic have come in for Herrera, who played at San Mames – albeit in its previous incarnation – between 2011 and 2013. While PSG are said to have dangled a mega paycheque in the midfielder's way, these reports note a "substantial" salary and a number of tempting clauses being put forward. For the Ligue 1 champions, there is a growing fear that Herrera will end up snubbing them just as main target Frenkie de Jong did when choosing Barcelona over Paris. PSG are reportedly still confident that they will tie up a deal for the player, considered among United's most underrated. However the Red Devils have themselves tabled an ...

| Man United fans in massive U-turn over Mourinho's controversial comments that finishing second with current team was one of his greatest achievements
|
 MANCHESTER UNITED fans have changed their tune on Jose Mourinho's controversial remarks about his time at Old Trafford. United sacked Mourinho in December after a woeful run of form and replaced him with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Jose Mourinho had made a bold claim after leaving Manchester UnitedPA:Press Association After a promising start, the wheels have begun to fall off for the Norwegian, with his side losing seven of their last nine matches in all competitions. Mourinho's time at United ended on a sour note, but he claimed finishing second in the league was one of the greatest achievements in his career because of "what was going on behind the scenes". The Portuguese tactician, 56, had run-ins with the hierarchy and he was always quick to slate the application levels of certain players at the club. Mourinho didn't receive many plaudits at United – despite lifting the Europa League and the Carabao Cup. But now some United fans have performed a massive U-turn after initially criticising their former ...

The 22-year-old – who has started 12 La Liga games for Real this term – could be one of a handful of players that could head for the Bernabeu exit door. West Ham are considering a move for Real Madrid outcast Dani CeballosGetty Images - Getty With Zinedine Zidane back at the helm, he wants to mould a side capable of challenging Barcelona for the title next term. Whereas West Ham have their own ambitions and Manuel Pellegrini wants to overhaul his squad. The Hammers' spending topped the £90million mark last summer and so would need to offload a few to raise funds for purchases. The Daily Mirror report that while Real would prefer to send Ceballos out on loan, the Hammers are keen to strike a permanent deal. And it is thought that were West Ham to make a bid of £18m, it could be enough to get their man.
