The Mirror reports that Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is set to stay at the club for next season, with the club waiting on the appointment of a new sporting director, Dan Ashworth, before making a final decision. Despite speculation surrounding his future, especially since the takeover of sporting operations by Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Ineos, Ten Hag looks likely to be given a reprieve after recent successes, including a win over Liverpool in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

Another player who could remain at Old Trafford is defender Jonny Evans, who has been linked with retirement. However, Northern Ireland manager Michael O’Neill and United sources have dismissed these claims, with the possibility of Evans receiving a contract extension dependent on other transfers in and out of the club. The 36-year-old earned a one-year deal last summer and will wait to see if he will be offered another 12-month contract.

Arsenal and Chelsea are reportedly interested in Sporting Lisbon’s centre-back Ousmane Diomande, with Arsenal considering a summer bid for the 20-year-old Ivory Coast international. Diomande caught the eye of Arsenal scouts during a Sporting vs Benfica clash and may be available for a fee of £68.6 million, although this could be reduced with add-ons. Chelsea are expected to be Arsenal’s main rival in the pursuit of the talented young defender.

Brighton is said to be tracking CFR Cluj winger Philip Otele, who has impressed in Romania’s top-flight with 13 goals and six assists in 30 league matches. Valued at around £3 million by Cluj, Otele may first go on loan to partner club Union St Gilloise in Belgium before potentially making a move to Brighton. The 24-year-old, who plays on the left wing, has attracted interest from the Seagulls due to their data-driven approach to scouting and recruitment.
