Red Devils in the race for Olmo
Manchester United have reportedly entered the race to secure the signature of RB Leipzig midfielder Dani Olmo as part of their ambitious summer transfer plans. With new part-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe keen on revamping the squad, Club chiefs are already compiling a list of potential targets.
Olmo's impressive stats and release clause
The attacking midfielder, known for his versatility as both a midfielder and winger, boasts a £52 million release clause that will come into effect this summer. Olmo has been a standout performer for Leipzig this season, contributing seven goals and four assists in just 19 appearances.
Competition from European giants
Olmo's stellar performances have caught the attention of several top clubs across Europe, including Real Madrid, Manchester City, Chelsea, and Tottenham. A potential transfer battle is expected to ensue at the end of the season as these clubs closely monitor the 25-year-old's progress.
Ten Hag's wishlist for United
While Olmo remains a priority target for Manchester United, manager Erik ten Hag is also keen on bolstering the squad with a new striker, centre-back, and full-back during the upcoming transfer window. However, the club's ability to splash the cash will be contingent on player sales, with several names rumored to be on the chopping block.
Outgoings and potential arrivals
Players like Casemiro, Raphael Varane, Harry Maguire, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, and Victor Lindelof are among those who could depart Old Trafford at the end of the season, paving the way for new additions. Speculations link the likes of Jarrad Branthwaite, Joao Gomes, Rodrygo, and Victor Osimhen with a possible move to the club.

How do I know if my football boots fit properly?
In order to get the right fit, the football boot should be snug without being too tight. This allows for a little movement and prevents the foot from sliding into the boot. The space between your toes, and the front of your boot should be approximately a thumb-width to prevent the toes from being crammed in when running or kicking. Selecting a boot design that is suitable for your narrow or wider feet will also be important. Always try on boots with football socks and lace them up fully to assess the fit accurately.

How To
How to Select Goalkeeper Gloves that Will Maximize Performance
Selecting the correct goalkeeper gloves will make a huge difference. It is vital to consider grip when choosing gloves for different weather conditions. Palms made of latex offer the best grip. The fit should be snug, allowing for some movement without slipping. Gloves that have finger protection can reduce the risk of injury from hyperextension. Take into account the type of padding as well–thicker padding can offer more protection but may take away from the feel of the ball. Also, pay attention to wrist support; a secure strap will keep the gloves in place during dives.
