The Manchester Evening News says: "United certainly need a new goalkeeper and Martinez would be a significant upgrade, but £45m is absurd! Mike Maignan, Gianluigi Donnarumma or Yann Sommer would be far better value for money, with each of their contracts set to expire next year..."
United consider AC Milan swoop

The Manchester Evening News says: "I feel sorry for Jadon Sancho. Of course, he hasn't lived up to expectations following his £73million transfer from Dortmund in July 2021, but he's not disruptive, or a bad egg, by any means. He's a decent player, who with the right support and system, can lift fans from their seats.
"If I was Ruben Amorim, I'd be inclined to offer him a second chance. In that inside-forward/attacking midfield role in the front-three, he could be dangerous."
