Paul Pogba future: Man City keen on shock deal to sign Man United ... (ESPN)

Manchester City are weighing up a move for Paul Pogba when his contract at Manchester United expires in the summer, sources have told ESPN.

Pogba would likely become one of the highest-paid players at the Etihad and there would be significant fees given to his representatives, but the overall cost of the deal would be made more manageable without a sizeable transfer fee added on top. Meanwhile, sources have told ESPN that Pogba would be open to joining City, who believe the World Cup winner is a viable option because of his contract situation at Old Trafford.

Brighton crush woeful Manchester United as Red Devils' season ... (Eurosport.com)

Manchester United's season reached a new nadir losing 4-0 to Brighton at the Amex Stadium, in Ralf Rangnick's penultimate game in charge of the club.

The team built by Potter has a central midfield which can mix it with the very best in the Premier league, a well-organised defence and a number of bought-in talented players capable of ensuring the ball spends a lot of time in dangerous areas. This included two assists for the goals, but there were many more fine passages of play where he helped forge opportunities for his team. 65' OFF THE POST! The United defence is ridiculously open. They currently have 58, and could yet slip to the seventh place they finished in under David Moyes. Eight minutes later there was another goal, the pick of the bundle, when Cucurella brought down a fantastic long pass from goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, then found Trossard in the box. So it has been at Brighton with the team now set for their best finish in the club's history.

Manchester City's Potential Contract Offer for Paul Pogba Revealed ... (Sports Illustrated)

Manchester City are 'willing' to offer Paul Pogba a four-year contract if he completes a free transfer from Manchester United this summer.

On a free transfer, Pogba is an option City will be seriously considering to fill a massive void in the squad and the player himself could be tempted by the prospect of working with Pep Guardiola and challenging for major honours. The Mail's original report suggested that City are looking at Pogba on a list of candidates to replace club captain Fernandinho, who is leaving the Etihad Stadium in the summer after nearly a decade of incredible service. Last night, a flurry of reports suggested Manchester City are interested in signing Paul Pogba, who is set to leave cross-town rivals Manchester United on a free transfer this summer.

Brighton 4-0 Manchester United: Premier League – as it happened (The Guardian)

MBM: Brighton won their first home game of 2022 as abject Manchester United were humiliated. Scott Murray was watching.

The club was on its uppers back then, with so much on their mind that they didn’t get round to naming a player of the year. It pings off the base of the post and out for a corner. Trossard retrieves the ball on the left and cuts back for Cucurella, who roofs a rising thrash into the top left! Cucurella traps and rolls infield for Trossard, who strolls into United’s box and lays off for Gross, who takes a touch to round Varane on the left, then steers a shot across De Gea and into the bottom right. 62 min: There’s a long VAR check, but the ball hit Trossard in the midriff. Gross and Mac Allister pour through a huge gap in the United defence. The ball bounces back to Maguire, who sends a low shot across the face of goal. Maguire wins a header and sends the ball towards the bottom left. 81 min: Cucurella is allowed to dribble down the middle, unchallenged, for a good while. We’ve let our home fans down a lot this year, and to come to the end of the season and reward them with that, it was a nice moment. 88 min: Cucurella’s fancy flick down the left foxes McTominay, who then bundles over Caicedo in a mixture of frustration and embarrassment. In an ideal world, you want to get your points at home in front of your supporters, and it was nice to give them a game, a performance, and a memory.

Player ratings: No one had a good day for Manchester United as the Premier League giants' season hit a new low against Brighton & Hove Albion.

They were bullied, predictable with their decision making, anxious at every turn and just didn't have any kind of direction aside from playing it back to one of their only capable first-teamers. They were defending much more resiliently to avoid further decline and on the odd chance they made something happen in the final third, it was always through some nice, quick passing in and around the box. MF Fred, 3 -- In one of the worst cameos of the season thus far, Fred couldn't keep the ball at his feet and was woeful with his positional play. The Red Devils looked slow from the word go and were made to pay for their poor play as Moises Caicedo put Brighton 1-0 up within 15 minutes. MF Anthony Elanga, 4 -- The youngster had to drop incredibly deep just to get any sniff of the ball and after failing to deal with the physicality of the opposition, he was subbed off. This was as close to a disaster-class as an 'elite' club can get.

Will Pogba join Man City? Possible transfers and next steps for the ... (Sporting News)

Incoming Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag looks set to overhaul his squad, and Paul Pogba is not expected to sign a new deal to stay. Manchester City ...

Madrid have been putting most of their focus (and finances) on tempting the PSG forward to move to the Santiago Bernabeu when his contract expires at the end of the season, but recent reports have indicated Mbappe could decide to stay. However, should Mbappe go to Madrid, financing a deal for Pogba shouldn't be a problem. Having grown up in the suburbs of Paris, a move home would likely be tempting on a personal level. The arrival of Ten Hag is unlikely to change the 29-year-old's view that, after nearly six years back at Old Trafford, a parting of the ways would be better for all parties. While persuading the 29-year-old to swap the red half of Manchester for blue, it has been suggested Pogba would consider any approach from City, alongside offers from abroad he is sure to receive. Pogba's long-term future at the club has been a major subject of debate for over 18 months.

Protesting travelling supporters once again took aim at the club’s ownership, in addition to their outclassed and outfought team, on a remarkable and chastening evening in front of a record crowd of 31,637 at the Amex Stadium. Manchester United’s players were subjected to chants of “you’re not fit to wear the shirt” from their own fans as their faint hopes of Champions League qualification were extinguished by a 4-0 thumping at Brighton.

Of course, there is a risk that comes with adding Pogba to the team, but most of those are mitigated by him being added on a free transfer. The leader would be his teammate if the move to City came to fruition in de Bruyne with 56. Pogba hasn't always been a willing presser as a midfielder but he also isn't necessarily the defensive liability that he is portrayed as either. Could Paul Pogba be trading sides of Manchester? According to the Daily Mail, Manchester City are interested in signing Pogba when his contract at Manchester United expires at the end of the year. One thing that Pogba can bring is a somewhat maverick nature on the pitch. But taking into account that United have employed four managers during Pogba's tenure (five if you cant the incoming Erik ten Hag who will take over this summer) while struggling for success in the league and on the continent, it is easy to understand where some of Pogba's frustration has come from too.

Ralf reacts to defeat at Brighton (Manchester United)

Manchester United interim boss Ralf Rangnick has reflected on our 4-0 defeat against Brighton in the Premier League and admitted the fans deserve an apology ...

It was very, very difficult to stop them in the first half at all and in the second half we took the risk to bring Edi [Cavani] on as a second striker and Fred and went to a 4-4-2. In hindsight it was maybe a little bit of a risk to play a 4-4-2 against them, but we had to try and change the energy. That's why I decided to go with more of a risk and play the 4-4-2 with Edi and Fred as a second six, but the two early goals at 3 and 4-0 after 60/65 minutes was a disaster for us. Until the West Ham game, or even until the Tottenham game we had very in-between and solid performances. To start with we can only apologise to our supporters, it was a terrible performance and a humiliating defeat. The game plan was completely different, we told the players to be as compact as we could possibly be but we couldn’t stop them."

The latest Man Utd team news, transfer gossip, and injury updates following the Premier League clash with Brighton.

Although United failed to cover themselves in glory for the defending leading up to Cucurella's first Brighton goal, it was even worse when Gross made it 3-0. They were magnificent, and some of the football they played was fantastic. The interim boss will leave his managerial position at Manchester United in just a few weeks' time and Erik ten Hag will take over at the club. The Seagulls scored three times inside the opening 15 minutes of the second half to fire themselves into a commanding 4-0 lead, following Moises Caicedo's first-half strike. Slow in getting down to Moises Caicedo's shot and his afternoon got worse thereafter. Mitchell Van der Gaag, currently assistant at Ajax, is set to join Ten Hag in Manchester, however, United are yet to finalise terms on that deal and contracts for other assistant coaches. Manchester United were utterly humiliated as they lost 4-0 to Brighton in the Premier League fixture on Saturday night. It's still possible Rangnick could slam the door shut on his way out. “Because this is what committed footballers do for their club, their fans, for their teammates and their managers. It should be a given, but it's not at Manchester United. It's also understood Cristiano Ronaldo vetoed Conte, which was fed back to the board. I will have a meeting with Manchester United, they're coming especially for him."

Manchester United, the team that hits new lows with every passing ... (The Athletic)

United lack unity, belief and a plan to succeed. Their continuing unravelling puts them miles behind their supposed rivals.

You can just about imagine half of this team, with quite a few additions, wanting to play the Ten Hag way, and United starting to resemble a functioning football club again. All it will take is a few August and September wins and the optimism will start to come back. With one game left of this tenure, the question is whether Erik ten Hag will be able to drag this all back together in the summer. Modern football is constructed to keep the rich teams at the top, and yet this United team look determined to test that point to destruction. That is still the best league performance of the post-Ferguson era, and one that looks increasingly unreachable for this group. There is no unity between the players, no belief in the manager, no connection with the fans. The return of Cristiano Ronaldo last summer was meant to be the signing that took United back towards the top after a transitional phase under Solskjaer. And yet United are going to finish this season with — at most — 61 points, far below the 74 they picked up last season. The board need to support the manager. Maybe the Chelsea team in 2015-16 before Jose Mourinho was sacked, but that felt like more of a dramatic implosion, a collapse from a peak. The one thing that Manchester United have excelled at this season is their ability to keep getting worse. If the hope was that Rangnick would generate buy-in from his players, to teach them a new style of play, then that has clearly not worked. But Brighton on Saturday afternoon must be joint with Watford as the worst of the lot.
