Manchester United could be set for a huge summer shake-up, while Newcastle are set to sign a Monaco defender on deadline day, according to Wednesday’s European papers.
MAN UTD EYEING MAJOR SUMMER REVAMP
Manchester United could complete a stunning double acquisition in the summer, according to reports from Spain.
Despite Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s successful start to life as United caretaker boss, it is possible that the club could look to make a more permanent appointment at the end of the season.
According to Diario Gol, Zinedine Zidane is still a candidate to take the job in the summer, with the Red Devils wanting a ‘bigger name’ to follow Solskjaer.
The report also claims that Zidane could be joined at his new club by striker Karim Benzema, with the Frenchman apparently desperate to work with his countryman again.
Juventus or Paris Saint-Germain are mentioned as possible options, but the 31-year-old would be attracted by the chance to play in the Premier League and for a big club like United.
Recent reports have suggested that Romelu Lukaku is fighting for his Old Trafford future, having become out of favour recently due to the form of three of his team-mates.
Meanwhile, AS claims that Real are targeting 21-year-old Eintracht Frankfurt striker Luka Jovic – who is on loan from Benfica – as a long-term successor to Benzema.
