Roma have made it no secret this summer that they want Riyad Mahrez.

But Leicester are clinging onto the former PFA Player of the Year for dear life.

Nemanja Matic has warned Europe’s heavyweights that Manchester United are back.

Adnan Januzaj has revealed he 'did not have much of a relationship' with Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho before leaving to join Real Sociedad last month.

The midfielder is keen to prove Mourinho was wrong not to give him a chance to prove himself at Old Trafford, reports the Manchester Evening News .

Pogba and Lukaku went on holiday to America for the second summer running this year and have been in each other's pockets since pairing up at club level.
