    LUKE SHAW

    The Manchester United left-back is set to leave Old Trafford this summer having once again failed to impress boss Jose Mourinho.

    Shaw was substituted at half-time during the Red Devils’ 2-0 FA Cup victory over Brighton last Saturday, with the Portuguese manager further criticising the 22-year-old defender.

    The former Southampton man, who moved to Old Trafford back in the summer of 2014, has started just six Premier League games all season and largely only featured in domestic cup competition.

    According to the BBC, Shaw – who is unlikely to feature in England’s World Cup squad – has had enough of Mourinho’s treatment and is seeking a move to play regular first-team football.

    With first-choice full-back Ashley Young signing a new contract extension, Shaw’s hopes of game time look bleak.

    Luke Shaw could be offered new terms at Man United.

    STEVEN NZONZI

    Juventus are ready to launch a bid for the Sevilla midfielder, who has also been linked with Spanish giants Barcelona and Sam Allardyce’s Everton.

    According to Mundo Deportivo, the Old Lady have the cash to meet the Frenchman’s €30million (Dh135m) buyout clause and will move for the 29-year-old in the close season.

    Nzonzi, who has starred during Sevilla’s run through to the Champions League quarter-finals, is apparently on the hunt for a new challenge and has one year left on his existing deal at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium.

    The former Blackburn and Stoke midfield enforcer, who could feature in this summer’s World Cup with France, is set to make a decision on his long-term future once this campaign is out.

    JOAO FELIX

    Manchester City and Arsenal will go head-to-head in a foot race to sign the rising Benfica youngster.

    Portugueses outlet O Jogo has reported that both Premier League clubs have scouted the 18-year-old talent, who operates in attacking midfield but has yet to fully breakthrough into the the first-team set-up.

    Felix is currently playing for the club’s B side but has been capped at under-21 level for his country.

    A host of clubs around Europe are set to join City and the Gunners in the mix to land him at the end of the season, with Felix apparently having a huge release clause in the region of €60m (Dh270m).
