Giggs slam
Ryan Giggs has claimed Manchester United were in position to sign Kylian Mbappe and Gabriel Jesus before they hit the big time.
And he has revealed his frustration at missing out after telling the club to make the moves.
“I watched Gabriel Jesus play three years ago. I watched Mbappé for a year. I was watching them with the scout and it was a no-brainer,” Giggs told The Times.
“It was just like, ‘Get them.’ It would have been £5 million or something — get them, loan them back — and that’s where the recruitment could have been better.”
Hazard move?
Antonio Conte was quizzed about Eden Hazard’s future yesterday after links to Manchester United.
And the Italian refused to rule anything out.
“There are a lot of rumours and we have to live with this,” he said.
“My players are focused on this period and go game by game.”

United players expect...
Manchester United players reportedly expect Antoine Griezmann or Gareth Bale to sign this summer.
Manchester United are set to splash the cash at the end of the season with the Red Devils likely to miss out on the Premier League title to fierce rivals Manchester City.
Jose Mourinho’s men spent big over the summer to lure the likes of Romelu Lukaku, Nemanja Matic and Victor Lindelof to Old Trafford.
And the Manchester Evening News say members of the squad expect a big-name player to arrive at the end of the season.
United still want Real Madrid’s Bale despite missing out on the Wales international back in the summer.
Yet, while the 28-year-old is heavily admired in Manchester, players think United may try to land a centre-forward instead.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s career is winding down with the 35-year-old expected to leave at the end of the season.
And, as a result, players think Griezmann could sign.
