15:40 UPDATE: Mourinho for Real Madrid?

Santiago Solari has dismissed speculation Jose Mourinho is set to return to Real Madrid.

Real face Ajax in the Champions League tonight and Solari was asked about rumours out-of—work Mourinho wants back in at the Bernabeu.

"At this club we have more suitors than Julia Roberts," Solari said.

"So you would need to ask her (about which coach the club would choose) and it is a pertinent question, but it is not for me."

14:30 UPDATE: Gareth Bale to Tottenham update

Gareth Bale is unlikely to return to Tottenham, Spurs defender Ben Davies claims.

14:00 UPDATE: Balague on Solskjaer

Man Utd's success under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer isn't down to the manager's tactical nous, Guillem Balague claims.

"It's not so much a tactical masterclass," he said on his Youtube channel.

"I was at Carrington talking to Ander Herrera and Alexis [Sanchez], I had the opportunity to talk to Mike Phelan, to Solskjaer, and all it is is the atmosphere has changed.

"There is a sense of unity. There's a sense of fairness. If you work hard, you will play.

"There are opportunities that everyone is starting to take advantage of because of the long list of injuries, but generally there is a style that suits both the fans and the players.

"That is the logical step of a manager to actually give that to your team."

13:25 UPDATE: Moyes to Celtic backed

David Moyes is keen to take over at Celtic, The Sun claims.

The former West Ham boss would welcome a return to Celtic Park, where he started his career.

However, Moyes could also be tempted by lucrative offers from the Chinese Super League.

The 55-year-old has been out of work since leaving West Ham at the end of the last season.

12:55 UPDATE: Foden told to leave

Rio Ferdinand has told Phil Foden he must LEAVE Manchester City for regular first-team football.

"He's got great potential, but at the end of the day he needs game time," the former United defender said.

"He's not going to get that at Manchester City. Jadon Sancho didn't, so that's why he left.

"There's no doubt Foden will improve by training with a squad of that quality, but there will come a time when he thinks to himself I want to play first-team football.

"I hope he gets the opportunity to do that at Manchester City because it will be great for English football, but the circumstances would need to change."

12:20 UPDATE: Arsenal signing backed

Arsenal have a chance of signing Lille forward Nicolas Pepe - but only on TWO very important conditions, Robert Pires claims.

"Pepe would be a fantastic signing for Arsenal, but they're going to have to pay big money to secure him," he told Bwin.

"He's building up a lot of interest as he's playing so well and lots of clubs will be in for him this summer so I can't see him going for cheap."

Arsenal are keen to spend this summer after a frustrating January window.

11:55 UPDATE: Ronaldo exit slammed

Real Madrid simply aren't as effective without Cristiano Ronaldo following his move to Juventus, former Los Blancos star Fernando Redondo claims.

"After having won the Champions League the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo is clearly impacting the team," he said.

"We can see a lack of forcefulness, effectiveness, the kind which Ronaldo guaranteed.

"This process isn't going to be easy, but the fact Real Madrid are always alive in the Champions League is a plus."

11:25 UPDATE: Bale to Man Utd agreement?

Real Madrid think Manchester United have an agreement with Gareth Bale.

OK Diario director Eduardo Inda said: "There is a tremendous anger and in the club he is sure he has closed an agreement with Manchester United, betraying Real Madrid who wanted to sell it to Chelsea to lower the price of the Eden Hazard operation.

"They want to sell Bale for 120 million euros."

Bale could return to the Premier League this summer after Real fans booed the winger during El Clasico.

11:05 UPDATE: Mourinho demands

Jose Mourinho has issued two demands to replace Santiago Solari at Real Madrid.

Spanish journalist and OK Diario director Eduardo Inda says Mourinho wants full control of the team and transfers.

"Real Madrid has indirectly probed the signing of Mourinho, who would earn 18 million net per season," he said.

"The only thing is that the Portuguese coach has put two conditions: make a clean squad and have full powers to do what you want on the sports field."

10:40 UPDATE: Pochettino to Man Utd on

Mauricio Pochettino wants the Manchester United job this summer.

The Manchester Evening News say the Tottenham boss is keen on the job, despite Ole Gunnar Solskjaer turning things around at Old Trafford.

Solskjaer or Pochettino will likely be named the next permanent manager.

MEN add that United chiefs are over with Solskjaer, who has brought the right atmosphere back to Old Trafford.

09:50 UPDATE: Gareth Bale to Premier League off?

Gareth Bale will not be returning to the Premier League this summer - as they cannot afford him.

That's according to the Real Madrid star's agent Jonathan Barnett.

He told The Sun: "Gareth loves it there. As for going to another club, no one could afford him."

This comes hours after Barnett slammed Real Madrid fans for booing Bale during their El Clasico defeat against Barcelona.

09:30 UPDATE: Zidane to Chelsea backed

Zinedine Zidane has been tipped to replace Maurizio Sarri at Chelsea by former Arsenal star Robert Pires.

He told Bwin: "I think Zidane would be a very good appointment at Chelsea.

"He would demand respect from the Chelsea players and control the dressing room as a result of everything he has achieved both on the pitch as a player and on the bench as a manager.

"He's a winner and a warrior. He's had great success in the Champions League which is attractive to the Chelsea owner. It would be very good news for the Premier League if Zidane moved to England."
