Today's key events
Sancho 'held talks with Man United chiefs in March'
Erik ten Hag disclosed that Manchester United's representatives have visited Jadon Sancho at Borussia Dortmund to discuss the possibility of his return to Old Trafford next season.
The 24-year-old, who was acquired by the Red Devils for £73m at the start of the 2021-22 season, was loaned back to his former club BVB after a fallout with Ten Hag in September last year.
Sancho and Ten Hag's relationship soured when the player was dropped from the squad for a Premier League encounter against Arsenal. The United boss cited his absence as a result of poor attitude during training sessions.
The winger publicly disputed his manager's reasoning through a social media post, implying dishonesty. While Sancho eventually removed the post, he remained adamant about not apologising to Ten Hag.
Liverpool striker deletes Reds Instagram content amid transfer rumours
Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez appears to have removed nearly all traces of the club from his Instagram account amid rumours of a possible exit from Anfield this summer.
The Uruguay international has been praised for bringing unpredictability and chaos to the Reds' attack since joining from Benfica in 2022, but his low big-chance conversion rate has been criticised heavily.
Nunez has still managed a respectable 18 goals and 13 assists from 52 matches this term, but he has been guilty of alarming wastefulness in front of goal and has lost his place in Jurgen Klopp's starting lineup in recent weeks.
The former Benfica striker is on a six-game scoring drought in the Premier League and has started just one of the Reds' last four top-flight contests, completing the full 90 in their 2-0 loss to Everton.
Arsenal duo 'targeted by Saudi Pro League clubs'
Two Arsenal stars who have not been regulars in Mikel Arteta's starting lineup this season are reportedly being lined up for big-money moves to Saudi Arabia.
During the Gunners' title-challenging 2022-23 season, Thomas Partey and Gabriel Jesus both played key roles under Arteta, the former joining forces with Granit Xhaka in a formidable midfield.
Meanwhile, Jesus began the campaign as the Gunners' focal point following his switch from Manchester City, although he was also hampered by the serious knee injury he picked up at the 2022 World Cup.
Partey in particular was linked with an exit last summer to either Juventus or Saudi Arabia, but the Ghana international opted to stay put, while there were no doubts about Jesus's future whatsoever.
Erik ten Hag responds to Bruno Fernandes exit talk
Manchester United head coach Erik ten Hag is not concerned about the prospect of Red Devils captain Bruno Fernandes leaving Old Trafford.
Despite criticism of his on-field antics and his suitability as the club's skipper, the Portugal international has been fundamental to Man United ever since arriving from Sporting Lisbon in January 2020.
Fernandes has come up with 79 goals and 64 assists in 230 matches for Man United across all competitions, including 15 goals and 11 assists from 45 outings in the current campaign.
The 29-year-old was promoted to permanent captain last summer after Harry Maguire was stripped of the armband, and he still has two years left to run on his contract, which also includes the option for a further 12 months.
