Rumour : Herrera Agrees PSG Pre-Contract

Ander Herrera has reportedly agreed a pre-contract with Paris Saint-Germain.

The Manchester United midfielder’s current deal runs out at the end of the season and he is allowed to negotiate with overseas clubs.

United’s executive vice-chairman, Ed Woodward, chose to activate a year-long extension on Herrera’s contract last summer instead of negotiating a new deal.

The Daily Record report the Spain international has agreed a deal with PSG after being left unimpressed with the offer from the Red Devils.

Ander Herrera’s protracted signing from Athletic Bilbao was completed in 2014 when United met his £28.85million buyout clause.

He has gone on to make 187 appearances for the club and won the FA Cup, League Cup and Europa League.

Solskjaer Shrugs Off Pogba's Real Madrid Comments

Paul Pogba is “happy” at Manchester United and has a “big part” to play in the club’s future, says Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, despite the France international seeing a possible switch to Real Madrid hinted at.

During the recent international break, the France international admitted that the Liga giants are “a dream for anyone”.

The 26-year-old also aired his admiration for current Blancos boss and fellow World Cup winner Zinedine Zidane, saying: “Like I've always said, Real Madrid is a dream for anyone. It's one of the biggest clubs in the world.

Such comments have sparked talk of an imminent move to Santiago Bernabeu for Paul Pogba, but his current boss insists nobody at Old Trafford is planning to sanction the sale of a prized asset.

The Red Devils boss, who has helped to bring the best out of a player who struggled under Jose Mourinho early in the 2018-19 campaign, has said: “I don't like to talk about other team’s players of course but this is another challenge with international breaks because players are available all the time and it's a different environment, a general talk.

“Paul Pogba is a very nice and polite man who answered a general question on Zinedine Zidane as an icon in France, a fantastic manager, he used to be a fantastic player and he's just politely answered that question.

“But Paul's happy here, he's going to be a big, big part [of future plans].

“You like to build your team around him and that hasn't changed at all.”

CR7 Could Return for Ajax Game : Allegri

Cristiano Ronaldo "is working hard" on his recovery and Juventus head coach Massimiliano Allegri "hopes to have him available" at Ajax.

On Friday, Allegri said Ronaldo was a doubt for next week's Champions League quarter-final first leg in Amsterdam after being forced off with a thigh strain while playing for Portugal during the international break.

However, the Italian coach, speaking on Monday, gave a more positive update on Cristiano Ronaldo's fitness.

Massimiliano Allegri said: "The exam he had this morning revealed that the leg is much better. Then of course it depends how the player reacts and the eventual pain that he feels."

Juventus will hope Cristiano Ronaldo, who has lifted the Champions League trophy on five occasions, can return in time for the first leg after he led their comeback against Atletico Madrid in the previous round.

'Messi is not God!' - Pope Francis

Pope Francis admits to taking “joy” from the ability of fellow Argentine Lionel Messi, but is eager to point out that the Barcelona talisman “is not God”.

Many consider the mercurial South American to be a sporting deity, with his achievements raising the bar of individual excellence.

He is worshipped as a hero by millions around the world and has seen his record-breaking on-field efforts lead to him being showered with praise and major honours – both collective and individual.

Asked by Spanish television show Salvados on La Sexta whether such a billing for Lionel Messi could be considered sacrilegious, as it breaks the third commandment by using the Lord’s name in vain, Pope Francis said: “In theory, it's a sacrilege.

“You can't say it and I don't believe it. I think people say ‘he is God’ just as they say ‘I adore you’. You have to adore only God.

“It's expressions that people use. This is a god with the ball on the pitch. It's a popular way that people have of expressing themselves.

“Of course, it is a joy [to watch Leo Messi play]. But he is not God.”

BREAKING: British MPs reject all Brexit options in second round of indicative votes

MPs have again failed to agree on proposals on the next steps for Brexit.

The Commons voted on four motions for leaving the EU, including a customs union and a Norway-style arrangement - keeping the UK in the single market - but none gained a majority.

The votes were not legally binding, so the government would not have been forced to adopt the proposals.

Theresa May's plan that she negotiated with the EU has been rejected twice by historic margins in Parliament.

The withdrawal agreement section of her deal was voted down again by MPs on Friday.

But the Commons can still avoid a no-deal Brexit, and avoid having to hold European elections, by voting for the PM’s deal again this week.

But the Commons can still avoid a no-deal Brexit, and avoid having to hold European elections, by voting for the PM’s deal this week.

But the leader of the Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, says if May can put her deal to the house three times, the other options should get a third chance too.

Mrs. Brexit May now has until 12 April to either seek a longer extension from the EU to take a different course or decide to leave the EU without a deal.
