His fifth goal of the season highlighted his growing influence in the Premier League. <gwmw style="display:none;"></gwmw></p> <p class=""><strong>Clinical Semenyo Leads Bournemouth’s Attack </strong></p> <p class="">The turning point of the match came in the 62nd minute when Bournemouth punished a sloppy midfield error by Kobbie Mainoo. Semenyo capitalised on the turnover, leading a swift counter-attack. </p> <p class="">His pace and vision set up Evanilson, who played a perfectly timed pass for Dango Ouattara. The winger unselfishly returned the favour, picking out Semenyo in the box. With Lisandro Martinez failing to close him down, Semenyo displayed composure, sweeping in an excellent finish to give Bournemouth their third goal. </p> <p class="">Semenyo’s goal was a testament to his consistency this season, solidifying his reputation as one of the league’s emerging talents. The forward played a crucial 89 minutes before being substituted for David Brooks, leaving the field to applause from the travelling Bournemouth fans. </p> <p class="">Bournemouth’s victory was a team effort, but Semenyo’s contributions stood out. Earlier in the match, he broke upfield after Mainoo’s mistake to orchestrate the move that led to the penalty converted by Patrick Kluivert. </p> <p class="">The Ghanaian forward’s dynamism kept United’s defence on edge throughout the game, as he combined effectively with his attacking teammates, including Kluivert, Evanilson, and Ouattara. </p> <p class="">For United, the defeat marked another low point in a season riddled with defensive frailties and organisational lapses. </p> <p class="">Conceding yet another set-piece goal in the first half set the tone, and despite fleeting moments of threat from Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo, the hosts never recovered. <br>Semenyo’s impressive form this season has not gone unnoticed. With five Premier League goals to his name, he is fast becoming a key figure for Andoni Iraola’s side. His ability to deliver in crucial moments was evident against Manchester United, as he demonstrated maturity, tactical awareness, and clinical finishing. </p> <p class="">Bournemouth’s win, their second consecutive 3-0 victory over United at Old Trafford, lifted them further up the table and cemented their resurgence under Iraola.<gwmw style="display:none;"></gwmw></p> <p class=""></p> <p>The post <a href="https://www.sweetmelodiesfm.com/semenyos-goal-seals-bournemouths-historic-victory-over-manchester-united-at-old-trafford/">“Semenyo’s Goal Seals Bournemouth’s Historic Victory Over Manchester United at Old Trafford.”<gwmw style="display:none;"></gwmw></a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.sweetmelodiesfm.com">Sweet Melodies FM</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>Euro Paper Talk: Man Utd Push for Key Signing, Liverpool in Leipzig Talks</title> <link>https://www.sweetmelodiesfm.com/euro-paper-talk-man-utd-push-for-key-signing-liverpool-in-leipzig-talks/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Admin]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 26 Jun 2024 12:31:53 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Featured]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Soccer]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Sport]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Arsenal]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Manchester United]]></category> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[RB Leipzig]]></category> <category><![CDATA[SportsHub]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Tottenham]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.sweetmelodiesfm.com/?p=92630</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>In today’s Euro Paper Talk, Manchester United intensify their pursuit of a striker set to boost Erik ten Hag’s attack, Liverpool engage in concrete negotiations for a transfer with RB Leipzig, and an Italy ace ignites a bidding war between Arsenal and Tottenham.

The 23-year-old Dutch international is being targeted to compete with, and potentially surpass, Rasmus Hojlund.</p> <p class="">Zirkzee’s future is set to be determined next week when the €40m (£34m) release clause in his Bologna contract activates on July 1. While AC Milan has shown interest, the hefty agent fees demanded by Zirkzee’s representative, Kia Joorabchian, may deter them. Conversely, Zirkzee is reportedly flattered by United’s interest, prompting Joorabchian to lower his fee demands for the English club.</p> <p class="">According to Calciomercato, Manchester United are making significant progress in their negotiations with Zirkzee and his agent. Their strategy involves securing agreements with both parties before triggering the release clause, enabling a swift deal.</p> <p class="">Zirkzee, who scored 12 goals and provided seven assists for Bologna last season, is seen as the ‘missing piece’ in United’s attack, offering strong link-up play and the ability to utilize Andre Onana’s long passes.</p> <p class=""><strong>Leipzig and Liverpool in Transfer Talks</strong></p> <p class="">RB Leipzig are in ‘concrete talks’ with Liverpool over the transfer of midfielder Tyler Morton. The German club is keen on a deal for the 21-year-old, although Liverpool has rejected their initial loan with an option to buy proposal. Leipzig may have to present a more attractive offer to secure Morton’s services.</p> <p class=""><strong>Other Transfer News</strong></p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li class=""><strong>Man Utd and Manuel Ugarte:</strong> Manchester United have held initial discussions with PSG regarding midfielder Manuel Ugarte, but no bid has been made.</li> <li class=""><strong>Newcastle and Federico Gatti:</strong> Newcastle are considering a move for Juventus centre-back Federico Gatti, with a bid between €25m-€30m expected to catch Juventus’ interest.</li> <li class=""><strong>Real Madrid and Arda Guler:</strong> Real Madrid have given Liverpool the green light to sign playmaker Arda Guler, but only on a six-month loan until January.</li> <li class=""><strong>Joshua Kimmich:</strong> The Bayern Munich star is increasingly likely to leave, with potential destinations including Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Real Madrid, and Barcelona.</li> <li class=""><strong>Arsenal and Tottenham Target Calafiori:</strong> Both Arsenal and Tottenham are ready to bid for Bologna and Italy centre-back Riccardo Calafiori, hoping a bidding war will drive his price up to €50m.</li> </ul> <p class=""><strong>Barcelona and Other Moves</strong></p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li class=""><strong>Barcelona and Nico Williams:</strong> Barcelona aim to sign Spain winger Nico Williams by offering Inigo Martinez in a cash-plus-player deal.</li> <li class=""><strong>Chelsea and Marc Guiu:</strong> Chelsea will activate the €6m release clause for Barcelona striker Marc Guiu.</li> <li class=""><strong>AC Milan and Romelu Lukaku:</strong> AC Milan are looking to sign Chelsea’s Romelu Lukaku on loan, adding to the list of Italian clubs interested in the Belgian striker.</li> <li class=""><strong>Aston Villa and Pedro Goncalves:</strong> Aston Villa are considering a move for Sporting Lisbon winger Pedro Goncalves.</li> </ul> <p class=""><strong>Chelsea’s Striker Search</strong></p> <p class="">Atletico Madrid are open to selling striker Samu Omorodion to Chelsea for €60m after rejecting a €40m offer from the Blues.</p> <p class="">Stay tuned to Sweet Melodies FM for more updates and in-depth analysis on these developing stories.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://www.sweetmelodiesfm.com/euro-paper-talk-man-utd-push-for-key-signing-liverpool-in-leipzig-talks/">Euro Paper Talk: Man Utd Push for Key Signing, Liverpool in Leipzig Talks</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.sweetmelodiesfm.com">Sweet Melodies FM</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>Erik ten Hag responds to “unfair” criticism from Anthony Martial, saying that “everyone is giving their best” despite Manchester United’s dismal 2023–24 campaign start.</title> <link>https://www.sweetmelodiesfm.com/erik-ten-hag-responds-to-unfair-criticism-from-anthony-martial-saying-that-everyone-is-giving-their-best-despite-manchester-uniteds-dismal-2023-24-campaign-start/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Editor]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 06 Dec 2023 13:02:13 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Sport]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Erik ten Hag]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Features]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Manchester United]]></category> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Sports]]></category> <category><![CDATA[World]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.sweetmelodiesfm.com/?p=87657</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>After Anthony Martial’s subpar performance against Newcastle United over the weekend, Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag defended the player.

I don’t think it’s fair to point to one player. If you have one moment, you can’t make that as a pattern. The week before we played brilliant, lot of energy in the team, spirt, you see all the games before – I mentioned Fulham, Burnley, Brentford, Luton, so many games for evidence. If it was a pattern, these were different. But this is not a pattern, absolutely not.

The struggling Brazilian has received some advise from former Red Devils attacker Dimitar Berbatov, who advised him to keep things simple.</p> <p class="">“Right now, it’s not working well for Antony, so my piece of advice would be to keep it simple, don’t overcomplicate stuff. The moment you start thinking you’re Ronaldinho or Zidane while you’re struggling in games, you’re going to suffer even more. Don’t try to do stupid things like tricks that are not beneficial for the team,” he told <a href="https://www.betfair.com/sport/football/english-premier-league/10932509" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Betfair</a>. “You’re so quick, use your pace to get in-behind the defence, get on the ball and start to record assists or shoot to score. That’s how simple it is. Stay disciplined and concentrated – it’s not so difficult.”</p> <p class="">Antony’s failure to live up to his lofty $85 million ($104m) price tag has already led to speculation he could be offloaded.

However, club officials are reportedly not happy with the player’s refusal to accept a transfer away from Old Trafford last week.</p> <p>The winger and his boss are now at odds as a result of the argument that started when he was recently left off the team that lost 3-1 against Arsenal. Ten Hag said that Sancho had not lived up to expectations in the lead-up to the game and throughout Carrington training, which is why he had been benched.</p> <p>And that claim provoked an angry response from the player, who suggested he was being scapegoated by Ten Hag and urging his followers on X to not believe everything you read. As a consequence, Ten Hag has been left far from impressed at seeing his authority questioned with some observers claiming Sancho is unlikely to play for United again as a result.</p> <p>With his future clinging by a thread, Sancho and United were presented with a rapid solution to the problem last week when Al-Ettifaq made an approach to sign him. Ultimately, however, the move to Saudi Arabia broke down with Sancho and United this week holding talks to try and iron out their differences.</p> <p>However, with the two men still having differences of opinion, it’s been claimed that United have cleared Sancho to leave the club in January. To that end, <a href="https://www.teamtalk.com/news/jadon-sancho-major-man-utd-exit-call-three-top-suitors-hover-arsenal-bid-to-snatch-senegalese-sensation-revealed"><strong>Tuesday’s Euro Paper Talk outlined three possible destinations for the unwanted Man Utd winger</strong></a>.</p> <p>To try and smooth things over in the meantime, however, Sancho has now deleted his post on X criticising Ten Hag.</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li><a href="https://www.sweetmelodiesfm.com/jadon-sancho-is-in-really-good-vibes-according-to-erik-ten-hag-but-the-manchester-united-winger-is-warned-before-the-new-season-begins/" data-type="post" data-id="85026">Jadon Sancho is in “really good vibes,” according to Erik ten Hag, but the Manchester United winger is warned before the new season begins.</a></li> </ul> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Jadon Sancho set for more Man Utd talks with Ten Hag</strong></h2> <p>That decision has apparently proved the catalyst for Ten Hag to offer an olive branch to Sancho, with more peace talks scheduled to take place between the pair.</p> <p>Writing for <em>Caught Offside</em>, Fabrizio Romano revealed the latest: “Jadon Sancho has deleted his social media post which came after Erik ten Hag’s comments about not training well enough to be in the squad for the Arsenal game. Still, from what I’m hearing there is still no final clarity on what will happen between Sancho and Ten Hag, there is still no guarantee that Sancho will be selected for the next game.</p> <p>“I’m aware that fans are keen to find out more about this situation, but we have to wait a bit more, it’s still not guaranteed that the situation is clarified despite the statement deleted. My understanding is that more rounds of talks will take place also internally at Man United to discuss the Sancho situation further.”</p> <p>Those talks will come around following an update on his move to Saudi Arabia that failed to go through last week.</p> <p>And according to <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://theathletic.com/4852693/2023/09/13/manchester-united-sancho-ten-hag/" target="_blank"><em>The Athletic</em></a>, Ten Hag was in favour of the player’s sale to Al-Ettifaq.</p> <p>‘After Sancho’s retort on social media, United were prepared to sanction a permanent exit away from Old Trafford, with the transfer windows still open in Saudi Arabia and Turkey’, the article began.</p> <p>‘Saudi clubs were told of a £65m ($81.3m) asking price for a player who joined United in July 2021 for £73m. Approaches for him to leave the club, however, were knocked back by Sancho and his representatives. There were no talks about a permanent transfer and Sancho never gave any indication of being open to a move. United declined to comment.’</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Sancho branded childish after transfer collapse</strong></h2> <p>However, a further revelation around the saga that almost saw Sancho leave United last week to move to Saudi Arabia has also been unearthed by <em>The Athletic</em>. And they claim that a source close to Borussia Dortmund feel that while ‘Jadon was mentally tough on the pitch’ he could be ‘quite childish and unprofessional with little things’.</p> <p>It all means that Sancho still has quite some way to go before he earns a fresh chance at United. And it seems that making amends with Ten Hag will only be the first step with United officials also now needing convincing that he is a player worth keeping and one who can knuckle down and let his football do the talking.</p> <p>However, with the prospects of a move away from Old Trafford over – until the January window at least, which is due to open in 110 days – Sancho now has the chance to focus on making the most of what could yet be a second chance.</p> <p>And with one competitor for a shirt in Antony also on a period of leave, the player will hope to get a chance to stake a claim to resurrect that career that just last week seemed lost.</p> <p>Earlier this week, United were also linked with a move for free agent winger Anwar El Ghazi, who could have arrived as a would-be replacement for both Sancho and Antony in a short-term capacity.</p> <p>However, Romano has become the latest source to play down the prospects of a move.</p> <p>“Staying with United, Anwar El Ghazi has been linked as a possible option for the Red Devils as he’s a free agent after leaving PSV Eindhoven. Despite these rumours, from what I’m hearing El Ghazi is not a target for United, nothing is happening on that,” Romano added.</p> <p>Sancho is contracted to United until summer 2026, with United holding a one-year option on that deal.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://www.sweetmelodiesfm.com/jadon-sancho-ten-hags-u-turn-signals-man-united-peace-the-clubs-executive-director-calls-the-player-childish-following-a-failed-65-million-move/">Jadon Sancho: Ten Hag’s U-turn signals Man United peace; the club’s executive director calls the player “childish” following a failed £65 million move.</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.sweetmelodiesfm.com">Sweet Melodies FM</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>Erik ten Hag was ‘disappointed’ with Manchester United’s ‘erratic’ performance against Wrexham.</title> <link>https://www.sweetmelodiesfm.com/erik-ten-hag-was-disappointed-with-manchester-uniteds-erratic-performance-against-wrexham/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Editor]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 26 Jul 2023 14:21:35 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Sport]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Erik ten Hag]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Features]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Manchester United]]></category> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Sports]]></category> <category><![CDATA[World]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.sweetmelodiesfm.com/?p=84909</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>Erik ten Hag was “disappointed” by Manchester United’s “erratic” performance in their 3-1 friendly loss to Wrexham.

Everything did not go as planned, as United struggled to block Wrexham’s crosses into the box, allowing Elliot Lee and Aaron Hayden to score twice in the first half. While the Red Devils pulled one back before halftime through Spanish youngster Marc Jurado, Sam Dalby scored the Dragons’ third goal to secure a historic triumph.</p> <p><strong>WHAT THEY SAID: </strong>Ten Hag did not hide his frustration after the match, but believes that the loss is a part of a learning curve for the United youngsters. “We’re disappointed with ourselves,” he told MUTV. “The way we played in the first half was a little bit erratic to the structure. We had some other objective that it was not [just] the result, but with young players, we have to learn from it and I’m sure they will do.”</p> <p><strong>THE BIGGER PICTURE: </strong>United’s second-string side came out second best in the physical battle against Wrexham, which Ten Hag hopes will aid their development.</p> <p>“This is what happens in top football,” the United boss added. “It definitely is [physical] in the Premier League, so our players have to get used to it. You don’t face this in youth football; this is men’s football and it is really good that they have this experience. It’s negative but you learn from it.”</p> <p><strong>IN TWO PHOTOS:</strong><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" alt="Erik ten Hag, Manager of Manchester United" width="696" height="392" srcset="https://assets.goal.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/bltcb1cd8f5a914358f/64734415d04023a9801a786d/290523_Erik_ten_Hag_Manager_of_Manchester_United_1920.jpg?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=640&quality=60 640w, https://assets.goal.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/bltcb1cd8f5a914358f/64734415d04023a9801a786d/290523_Erik_ten_Hag_Manager_of_Manchester_United_1920.jpg?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=750&quality=60 750w, https://assets.goal.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/bltcb1cd8f5a914358f/64734415d04023a9801a786d/290523_Erik_ten_Hag_Manager_of_Manchester_United_1920.jpg?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=828&quality=60 828w, https://assets.goal.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/bltcb1cd8f5a914358f/64734415d04023a9801a786d/290523_Erik_ten_Hag_Manager_of_Manchester_United_1920.jpg?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=1080&quality=60 1080w, https://assets.goal.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/bltcb1cd8f5a914358f/64734415d04023a9801a786d/290523_Erik_ten_Hag_Manager_of_Manchester_United_1920.jpg?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=1200&quality=60 1200w, https://assets.goal.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/bltcb1cd8f5a914358f/64734415d04023a9801a786d/290523_Erik_ten_Hag_Manager_of_Manchester_United_1920.jpg?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=1920&quality=60 1920w, https://assets.goal.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/bltcb1cd8f5a914358f/64734415d04023a9801a786d/290523_Erik_ten_Hag_Manager_of_Manchester_United_1920.jpg?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=2048&quality=60 2048w, https://assets.goal.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/bltcb1cd8f5a914358f/64734415d04023a9801a786d/290523_Erik_ten_Hag_Manager_of_Manchester_United_1920.jpg?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=3840&quality=60 3840w" src="https://i0.wp.com/assets.goal.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/bltcb1cd8f5a914358f/64734415d04023a9801a786d/290523_Erik_ten_Hag_Manager_of_Manchester_United_1920.jpg?resize=696%2C392&ssl=1">Getty Images<img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" alt="Manchester United Wrexham" width="696" height="393" srcset="https://assets.goal.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/bltdcb9cc130a2a5527/64c0a3a4c6f6494a00fb5b30/GettyImages-1555442525.jpg?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=640&quality=60 640w, https://assets.goal.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/bltdcb9cc130a2a5527/64c0a3a4c6f6494a00fb5b30/GettyImages-1555442525.jpg?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=750&quality=60 750w, https://assets.goal.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/bltdcb9cc130a2a5527/64c0a3a4c6f6494a00fb5b30/GettyImages-1555442525.jpg?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=828&quality=60 828w, https://assets.goal.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/bltdcb9cc130a2a5527/64c0a3a4c6f6494a00fb5b30/GettyImages-1555442525.jpg?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=1080&quality=60 1080w, https://assets.goal.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/bltdcb9cc130a2a5527/64c0a3a4c6f6494a00fb5b30/GettyImages-1555442525.jpg?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=1200&quality=60 1200w, https://assets.goal.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/bltdcb9cc130a2a5527/64c0a3a4c6f6494a00fb5b30/GettyImages-1555442525.jpg?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=1920&quality=60 1920w, https://assets.goal.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/bltdcb9cc130a2a5527/64c0a3a4c6f6494a00fb5b30/GettyImages-1555442525.jpg?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=2048&quality=60 2048w, https://assets.goal.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/bltdcb9cc130a2a5527/64c0a3a4c6f6494a00fb5b30/GettyImages-1555442525.jpg?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=3840&quality=60 3840w" src="https://i0.wp.com/assets.goal.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/bltdcb9cc130a2a5527/64c0a3a4c6f6494a00fb5b30/GettyImages-1555442525.jpg?resize=696%2C393&ssl=1">Getty Images</p> <p><strong>WHAT NEXT?

According to the Guardian, the Italian club will tell the Red Devils that they will have to pay €70 million (£60 million/$78 million) if they want to recruit the 20-year-old this summer. United had hoped to offer players in any future deal, but Atalanta have said unequivocally that they are not interested.</p> <p><strong>THE BIGGER PICTURE: </strong>Manager Erik ten Hag is hoping for more signings after adding Mason Mount to his squad with the Red Devils close to completing a deal for Onana.

The Portuguese playmaker wants to return to the Premier League after spending the second part of the 2022-23 season on loan at Chelsea, and he’s seeking for a team that can provide him Champions League football, which practically shuts out Aston Villa.</p> <p><strong>THE BIGGER PICTURE: </strong>United have made initial contact with Felix’s camp, but no formal offers have been presented to Atletico Madrid as of yet. The Rojiblancos wanted to offload Felix before the start of pre-season but that has not gone according to plan. According to reports, he has been asked to train with the academy players by Atletico boss Diego Simeone and has already been stripped of the No.7 shirt. </p> <p><strong>AND WHAT’S MORE: </strong>Felix’s struggles last season have led to a decline in his market value, which has forced Atletico to consider a sale. Chelsea were keen to sign him permanently but baulked at the exorbitant €100 million (£87m/$110m) valuation set by the Spanish side.</p> <p><strong>IN TWO PHOTOS:</strong><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" alt="Joao Felix" width="696" height="392" srcset="https://assets.goal.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/bltff049643b42a13ea/64ac0773828abb4087c48d11/GettyImages-1244318588.jpg?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=640&quality=60 640w, https://assets.goal.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/bltff049643b42a13ea/64ac0773828abb4087c48d11/GettyImages-1244318588.jpg?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=750&quality=60 750w, https://assets.goal.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/bltff049643b42a13ea/64ac0773828abb4087c48d11/GettyImages-1244318588.jpg?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=828&quality=60 828w, https://assets.goal.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/bltff049643b42a13ea/64ac0773828abb4087c48d11/GettyImages-1244318588.jpg?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=1080&quality=60 1080w, https://assets.goal.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/bltff049643b42a13ea/64ac0773828abb4087c48d11/GettyImages-1244318588.jpg?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=1200&quality=60 1200w, https://assets.goal.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/bltff049643b42a13ea/64ac0773828abb4087c48d11/GettyImages-1244318588.jpg?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=1920&quality=60 1920w, https://assets.goal.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/bltff049643b42a13ea/64ac0773828abb4087c48d11/GettyImages-1244318588.jpg?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=2048&quality=60 2048w, https://assets.goal.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/bltff049643b42a13ea/64ac0773828abb4087c48d11/GettyImages-1244318588.jpg?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=3840&quality=60 3840w" src="https://i0.wp.com/assets.goal.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/bltff049643b42a13ea/64ac0773828abb4087c48d11/GettyImages-1244318588.jpg?resize=696%2C392&ssl=1">Getty Images<img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" alt="Joao Felix Chelsea Atletico Madrid 7" width="696" height="392" srcset="https://assets.goal.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/blt0be8a5cb69f7955e/64a7b35406d4030c343cbc69/GOAL_-_Multiple_Images_-_2_Split_-_Facebook_-_2023-07-07T073647.871.png?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=640&quality=60 640w, https://assets.goal.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/blt0be8a5cb69f7955e/64a7b35406d4030c343cbc69/GOAL_-_Multiple_Images_-_2_Split_-_Facebook_-_2023-07-07T073647.871.png?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=750&quality=60 750w, https://assets.goal.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/blt0be8a5cb69f7955e/64a7b35406d4030c343cbc69/GOAL_-_Multiple_Images_-_2_Split_-_Facebook_-_2023-07-07T073647.871.png?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=828&quality=60 828w, https://assets.goal.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/blt0be8a5cb69f7955e/64a7b35406d4030c343cbc69/GOAL_-_Multiple_Images_-_2_Split_-_Facebook_-_2023-07-07T073647.871.png?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=1080&quality=60 1080w, https://assets.goal.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/blt0be8a5cb69f7955e/64a7b35406d4030c343cbc69/GOAL_-_Multiple_Images_-_2_Split_-_Facebook_-_2023-07-07T073647.871.png?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=1200&quality=60 1200w, https://assets.goal.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/blt0be8a5cb69f7955e/64a7b35406d4030c343cbc69/GOAL_-_Multiple_Images_-_2_Split_-_Facebook_-_2023-07-07T073647.871.png?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=1920&quality=60 1920w, https://assets.goal.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/blt0be8a5cb69f7955e/64a7b35406d4030c343cbc69/GOAL_-_Multiple_Images_-_2_Split_-_Facebook_-_2023-07-07T073647.871.png?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=2048&quality=60 2048w, https://assets.goal.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/blt0be8a5cb69f7955e/64a7b35406d4030c343cbc69/GOAL_-_Multiple_Images_-_2_Split_-_Facebook_-_2023-07-07T073647.871.png?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=3840&quality=60 3840w" src="https://i0.wp.com/assets.goal.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/blt0be8a5cb69f7955e/64a7b35406d4030c343cbc69/GOAL_-_Multiple_Images_-_2_Split_-_Facebook_-_2023-07-07T073647.871.png?resize=696%2C392&ssl=1">Getty/GOAL</p> <p><strong>WHAT NEXT? </strong>Manchester United may face competition from Paris Saint-Germain for Felix’s signature as the Ligue 1 champions are believed to be vying for his services as well.

Many big names have found it hard to impress in the iconic No.7 at Old Trafford, most recently <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/man-utd-cristiano-ronaldo-no-7-shirt-teenager/bltc805b2d683ef3a1f" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Angel Di Maria, Edinson Cavani and Alexis Sanchez</a>.</p> <p><strong>AND WHAT’S MORE: </strong>Mount wore the No.19 at Stamford Bridge but has worn the 7 previously in his career. The midfielder has used the number while playing for England and also as a youngster, featuring for Chelsea’s Under-23 side during the 2016-17 season.</p> <p><strong>IN THREE PHOTOS:</strong><img
