If you asked any Manchester United fan who the most influential players were last season, Alejandro Garnacho and Bruno Fernandes would be the most frequent answers.

The attacking duo were the source of almost all of the Red Devils attacking impetus, with their consistency being vital.

The Argentine netted seven goals in the Premier League while the United captain scored ten, but it’s their fearless attitude and determination that make them fan favourites.

Nevertheless, there’s a current United player worth even more than the aforementioned duo who could be on their way out the door this summer.

The Man Utd star who could be sold this summer

According to a report from journalist Graeme Bailey, Man Utd will shockingly let Marcus Rashford leave this summer.

It’s said that Paris Saint-Germain will once again be in the market for the United forward as they look to find a replacement for Kylian Mbappe.

The report mentions that if a suitable offer arrived from the French club, then Sir Jim Ratcliffe and co ‘would not stand in his way’ if he wished to depart.

The reason for this is due to his drop in performance last season, which raised concerns amongst the hierarchy, while his off-the-field antics have also been a point of discussion.

Marcus Rashford’s value in 2024

In all honesty, last season was hardly Rashford’s finest in a United shirt, as he struggled to put his stamp on many matches.

The number ten failed to rediscover the form he showed during Erik ten Hag’s first season in charge, when he scored 30 goals across all competitions.

Last season, he scored just seven times in the Premier League, and his creativity was also held back, as he boasted a record of two assists.

There were even some periods over the season where he was dropped to the bench as he failed to have an influence when on the field, with the likes of Amad Diallo and Antony preferred at times.

Nonetheless, as you can see from the table above, Rashford is still estimated to be worth £57m by FootballTransfers despite having a poor campaign.

Shockingly, this makes the English “superstar,” as dubbed by journalist Alex Turk, the most valuable asset in the entire Man United squad.

Therefore, he’s estimated to be worth even more than Garnacho and Fernandes, who are both players that INEOS will look to complete their rebuild around – the pair deemed to be worth £36m and £53m, respectively.

On top of that, Rashford is estimated to be the fourth-most valuable winger in the entire Premier League, only behind Bukayo Saka, Phil Foden, and Gabriel Martinelli.

However, despite United being open to selling Rashford, the attacker is clearly still one of the most dangerous attackers in Europe on his day, as proven by his 30-goal campaign.

Last season was difficult for every single player at Old Trafford, and bar a handful of individuals, everyone suffered and failed to perform. But in a settled system, Rashford could very easily thrive once again.

Therefore, selling the academy graduate could go on to be a massive mistake, as there is a reason he’s United’s most valuable player at the club.

Manchester City made history last season when they became the first team in the Premier League era to win four titles in succession in the top-flight.

Pep Guardiola's side secured the title ahead of Arsenal in a fierce race for the trophy and have now dominated the division over the last four years.

The Cityzens will now be looking to extend the record they just set by securing a fifth Premier League success in a row in the upcoming season.

Despite their impressive success in the league in recent years, the club could still look to dip into the market to bolster the playing squad during the summer transfer window.

Guardiola could look to add to his options across the park to compete on all fronts after his side failed to win the Champions League or either of the domestic cups last term.

The Spanish head coach is reportedly keen to improve in the wide areas as a target from a fellow Premier League club has emerged this month.

Manchester City eyeing Premier League wizard

According to Football Insider, Manchester City have joined the race to sign £75m-rated Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon ahead of the 2024/25 campaign.

The report claims that the Cityzens have 'registered an interest' in the England international ahead of a possible swoop for his services this summer.

It states that they are now battling it out with fellow Premier League giants Liverpool to snap up the former Everton academy graduate to bolster their wide options.

Football Insider adds that Arne Slot's Reds have already held talks with Newcastle over a potential deal to sign Gordon but their demands have put them off going any further at this point.

The outlet reveals that Guardiola wants to add a 'lethal' forward to his ranks and the English speedster has been identified as a target to fulfill that desire.

Gordon has two years left on his contract at St. James' Park but Football Insider does not state how much the Magpies are seeking in terms of a fee for the forward.

Liverpool being put off by their demands suggests that they are looking for a sizeable amount of money for the talented wizard, but it remains to be seen exactly how much it will take.

If City do decide to press ahead with a deal for Gordon and pay the fee Newcastle are demanding, though, then they could land an instant upgrade on Jeremy Doku.

Jeremy Doku's first season at City in numbers

The Cityzens swooped to sign the Belgium international from French side Rennes last summer and the forward enjoyed a solid first year in English football.

Doku was given plenty of chances to impress in the Premier League by Guardiola as he ended the season with 29 appearances and 18 starts in the division.

The 22-year-old attacker is a winger who can play on either flank and looks to provide a constant threat on the ball with his direct running and skill to beat opposition players on the flanks.

As you can see in the table above, the Belgian whiz's end product left a bit to be desired as the forward only scored three goals in 29 Premier League appearances.

Doku was also helped out by his City teammates as they scored eight goals from the chances he created, despite only racking up 5.86 xA and five 'big chances'.

This suggests that the 22-year-old ace still has plenty of development left to go through before he can be considered a 'lethal' attacking threat who can be relied upon week-in-week-out.

The Cityzens speedster, who produced one goal and one assist in seven Champions League games, has not proven himself to be a consistent scorer or creator of high-quality chances, with a combined eight goals and 'big chances' created in 29 Premier League matches.

There could, therefore, be room for Guardiola to dip into the market this summer to sign a player with the ability to provide more quality in the final third next season.

This is where Gordon could come in and be an upgrade on the Belgium international, based on his impressive form for Newcastle during the 2023/24 campaign.

Why Anthony Gordon could be an upgrade on Jeremy Doku

Firstly, the English dynamo is also a right-footed winger who can play on either flank and uses his pace to cause constant problems for opposition defenders.

This means that he is similar in style to the current City forward and could fulfill a similar role to him in Guardiola's system on the wing next season.

Like Doku, Gordon is also a young player – aged 23 – who has plenty of time left to develop and improve, which means that the Spanish boss can work with him to develop his game over the years to come. This makes him a signing for the immediate future as well as being a long-term project for the club.

What the Newcastle forward does have over Doku, though, is that he has proven himself to be a reliable attacker at Premier League level with his performances last season.

As you can see in the table above, Gordon offered significantly more to his team as a threat in the final third in comparison to the former Rennes man in the top-flight.

The £60k-per-week English sensation, who was hailed as a "menace" by U23 scout Antonio Mango, scored over three times as many goals and created over three times as many 'big chances' in comparison to Doku.

These statistics suggest that he is a better winger than the Belgian forward at Premier League level as he has the quality to make a bigger impact as both a scorer and a creator of goals from the same position on the left flank.

After keeping hold of Wilfred Ndidi, Leicester City have now reportedly made their first approach to sign a £17m midfield partner for the Nigerian this summer.

Leicester transfer news

Positives are finally beginning to emerge for the Foxes following a chaotic start to the summer transfer window, which saw both Enzo Maresca and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall swap the King Power for Stamford Bridge and Chelsea.

Left without a manager, Leicester turned to Steve Cooper, who has since welcomed fresh faces in the form of Issahaku Fatawu in a permanent deal alongside Caleb Okoli, Michael Golding and Bobby De Cordova-Reid. However, Leicester's most underrated deal this summer, is Nidid's new contract when the midfielder looked destined to leave as a free agent.

After signing the unexpected extension, Ndidi told Leicester's official website: "I feel great, I feel excited, I feel at home. That’s the most important thing. I feel really happy to continue with the Club. My family is settled here and everyone back home, when they say Ndidi, they say Leicester also! It’s really amazing to be a part of this journey going forward.”

Now, in a further reward, the Foxes could hand the Nigerian a new partner at the heart of Cooper's midfield. According to South American journalist Nicola Parcerias, Leicester have made an approach to sign Richard Rios from Palmeiras this summer in a race alongside fellow Premier League side Everton.

The central midfielder is fresh from the 2024 Copa America, in which he helped Colombia reach the final before suffering defeat against Argentina. Now, Palmeiras are reportedly open to negotiating his exit for around €20m (£17m), putting aside his reported eye-watering release clause of around €100m (£84m).

"Machine" Rios can provide balance next to Ndidi

After such a successful Copa America, it's no surprise to see Rios being linked with a move to the Premier League, especially as Leicester look to form a solid foundation at the base of their midfield. Returning to the Premier League, the key may well be to find a balanced partnership between a "ball-carrying machine" in Rios – as described by Ben Mattinson – and a ball recovery expert of Ndidi's nature.

Of course, Leicester must be careful not to run into any more trouble regarding the Premier League's profit and sustainability rules, but if they can avoid any sanctions and land a player on the rise such as Rios, then it should be considered incredibly solid business.

Walking a budgeting tightrope, the Foxes may yet sign the perfect partner for Ndidi before the transfer window slams shut.

Auction scheduled for the day after India’s second Test against England

It’s not yet certain if the 2021 edition of the IPL will be played in India•BCCI

The 2021 IPL player auction will be held on February 18 in Chennai, the league announced with a tweet on Wednesday. The announcement comes after the IPL Governing Council meeting on January 6, where it was decided that the 2021 edition of the tournament would remain an eight-team event.Related

With the second Test of the India-England series scheduled to end on February 17 – the first two Tests are in Chennai and the last two in Ahmedabad – February 18 presents the organisers with a day-long window to conduct the auction. The eight franchises had announced their list of retained and released players by the deadline of January 20.It is, however, not yet certain if the tournament would be held in India. The three-member Governing Council, headed by Brijesh Patel, deliberated on the matter in that meeting at the start of the year, and kept their options open. With the Covid-19 pandemic continuing to surge in India, it is understood that the UAE, where the 2020 edition was held, remained as one of the options.How the teams are placed for February’s auction•ESPNcricinfo Ltd

With the pandemic throwing up challenges on a regular basis, the IPL Governing Council has remained uncertain about whether to conduct matches on a home-and-away basis, which would mean having a minimum of eight venues. The other alternative, which was also discussed last year before moving the tournament to the UAE, was to organise the tournament at a limited number of venues, which would reduce travel for teams. India’s national T20 competition, the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, is currently being held based on this system.The February auction will be the first one in which teams do not have any additional funds, which means they have had to release a host of big names to increase their purses and free up their rosters. The biggest of those names is Steven Smith, captain of the Rajasthan Royals last season, who was released by the franchise. Smith will join the likes of Glenn Maxwell (formerly of the Kings XI Punjab), Chris Morris and Umesh Yadav (both the Royal Challengers Bangalore), Kedar Jadhav (the Chennai Super Kings), Nathan Coulter-Nile and James Pattinson (both the Mumbai Indians), Tom Banton (the Kolkata Knight Riders), and Jason Roy (the Delhi Capitals), who are some of the other high-profile names to be released into the auction pool.Teams are allowed a maximum of 25 players on their rosters: the Royal Challengers (13), the Kings XI (9), the Rajasthan Royals (8) and the Knight Riders (8) are the teams with the highest number of slots to fill as things stand, while the Sunrisers Hyderabad (3) have the most complete roster at the moment.

Kohli’s 72 in vain as England wrap up 227-run win for their sixth straight away victory

Matt Roller09-Feb-20214:23

Bell: The best I’ve seen Anderson bowl

England inflicted a 227-run defeat on India in Chennai thanks to a dominant fourth-innings bowling performance, with Jack Leach and James Anderson taking seven wickets between them on the final day as they wrapped up victory before tea.Related

Root caution understandable as England seek reward for dominance

After removing Rohit Sharma on the fourth evening, Leach struck the first blow on the fifth morning by drawing an edge from Cheteshwar Pujara, and returned to help mop up the tail, but it was Anderson’s spell before lunch that ripped out India’s middle order and set the win in motion.With the ball reverse-swinging and keeping low from a length, Anderson sent the off stump cartwheeling out the ground twice in his first over of the day to remove Shubman Gill and Ajinkya Rahane, and induced a leading edge from Rishabh Pant to leave him with figures of 5-3-6-3 in a spell that defined the day.Despite a near-faultless innings of 72 from Virat Kohli, India’s chances were quashed by the loss of five wickets in the first session, and after a grubber from Ben Stokes snuck under Kohli’s bat, Leach and Jofra Archer finished the job to seal a sixth consecutive away win for England. This was only India’s second defeat at home since their 2-1 series loss to England in late 2012, and leaves them needing at least two wins and a draw in the remaining three matches if they are to reach the inaugural World Test Championship (WTC) final.Gill had started the day by working the first ball he faced for four through midwicket, punishing Leach as he dropped a fraction short. But if India had hoped that would be a sign of things to come, there was evidence early on that the pitch would not prove straightforward: Gill had to jam his bat down on a shooter from Leach, and was beaten by some extra bounce from a length two overs later, while Archer found inconsistency in carry while bowling to Pujara.Pujara’s wicket looked the crucial one, after his rearguard efforts in Australia and with his impeccable record against left-arm spin. But he was gone within half an hour: he closed the face looking to work Leach into the leg side, but the ball turned and bounced to take the shoulder of the bat and loop up to Stokes at slip.Gill continued to score freely, picking off Dom Bess’ loose balls and reaching a fluent half-century, at which point Joe Root threw the ball to Anderson, hoping he could get it to reverse-swing. He could. His second ball was full, and hooped in from outside off stump. It breached the gap between Gill’s bat and pad, and crashed into the off stump, sending it cartwheeling and England into exuberant celebrations.But Anderson was not content with a single breakthrough. The fourth ball of his over rapped Rahane on the pad, again hooping in towards the stumps from wide on the crease and keeping low. Umpire Nitin Menon was unmoved so England reviewed, and while the ball was shown to have been crashing into the base of middle, the decision was upheld with its impact shown as ‘umpire’s call’.James Anderson celebrates the wicket of Ajinkya Rahane•BCCI

There was no doubt about his next ball. Anderson again went very full, anticipating prodigious movement from the reversing ball, and again snuck through the gap between bat and pad. The ball kept low once more, pinging into Rahane’s off stump and sending it out of its groove. It left India four down within the first hour, and with their hopes of saving the game hanging by a thread.Anderson struck once more in his spell, with Pant unable to continue his rich vein of form. Having reversed the ball both ways, Anderson ran his fingers down the side of the ball when pitching full, and Pant, shaping to work to leg, could only miscue to Root at short cover via a leading edge.Bess returned after an inconsistent first spell, and once Kohli – who looked in fine touch right from the start of his innings – had hit him for four off a full toss, he drew a thin edge from Washington Sundar, prodding forward outside off, who was given out on review.Kohli represented India’s final hope, putting away three consecutive full tosses from the wayward Bess before lunch and lofting Archer down the ground for a crisp four. Archer rapped Ashwin on the glove before striking him on the wrist and the badge of the helmet, but India went into the break six down.After lunch, Leach again found extra bounce from a length to get Ashwin caught behind, shaping to cut but only managing to glove through to Jos Buttler behind the stumps. Kohli had not put a foot wrong, but was undone by a shooter from Stokes which skidded out of the rough and knocked back the off stump, and after Leach had Shahbaz Nadeem caught at silly point – via a deflection from Buttler – to take his fourth and England’s ninth, Archer sealed the win as Jasprit Bumrah edged behind.England were buoyant, winning their sixth Test in Asia on the bounce and extending their unbeaten run under Root’s captaincy to 11, helping him move level with Michael Vaughan with 26 career wins – the most by an England captain. Questions about the timing of his declaration were made academic by a clinical bowling performance on the final day, and his side are now 1-0 up in a series they went into as outsiders.
