-

Manchester United and Real Madrid are reportedly among the clubs maintaining a watching brief on Dani Olmo this summer.

Transfer Rumours: Manchester United linked with Dani Olmo - 1

The Spanish international is excelling for Red Bull Leipzig, and he has a clause that becomes active this summer when he can leave for £52million.

Olmo recently starred for Spain against Brazil, where he was utilised in the number ten position where he scored a superb individual goal. He dribbled through Brazil's defence before finishing with a curling left-foot shot to give Spain a 2-0 lead in a 3-3 draw at the home of Real Madrid. 

United are assessing targets across Europe for attacking and creative options, and Olmo may be of interest depending on their budget and departures in the summer.

The Red Devils are also in the market for a forward, centre-back and full-back this summer plus a central midfielder. 

Matt, a Manchester United fan living in Germany, said: "I think Olmo would be a fantastic signing for United. He can play in more than one position and United will need to strengthen if we qualify for the Champions League again."

Liam, another Manchester United fan, added: "Together with Joao Gomes this would be huge improvements for Manchester United. We have really suffered with injuries this season so we need several players."

There will be competition from Real Madrid. 

Real Madrid are expected to sign Kylian Mbappe this summer and will welcome the arrival of Brazilian in Kendrick in July. They may also have to bring forward a bid for Bayern Munich's Alphonso Davies that would eat into finances. However, president Florentino Perez remains open to adding Spain's best players to his glittering squad if it becomes financially viable.

Manchester City, Chelsea and Tottenham are also among the clubs who continue to keep an eye on Olmo's progress, particularly with his ability to play in more than one position. 

How good is Olmo?

Dani Olmo has played 101 matches throughout his Bundesliga career. Of these, he has helped Leipzig win 57. He has also scored 16 league goals and 12 in other competitions. 

Check out some of his best moments from 2023.

It's time to for another sliding doors moment in football  We travel back to 2004. Manchester United face Porto in the last-16 of the Champions League.  Author - Liam C What actually happened? A ontroversial offside call against Paul Scholes became a pivotal moment in European football history. The disallowed goal cost United a place in the quarter-finals, while Porto, managed by the up and coming manager José Mourinho, went on to win the competition and launch Mourinho into the managerial elite. But what if Scholes hadn’t been ruled offside? How might this alternative scenario have changed the landscape of world and European football? Scholes wasn’t offside: United progress Had the linesman not flagged Scholes for offside, Manchester United would have progressed to the next round of the Champions League. Scholes' goal was legitimate, and had it stood, United would have won the tie on aggregate, knocking out Porto and ending their European dreams. With the Red Devils moving

There has been a managerial change at Old Trafford. Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag due to the club's disappointing start to the season. Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches. The Red Devils are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League league stage, having drawn their three opening matches. Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)

Kilmarnock 1 - 0 Rangers Rangers remain six points behind the Premiership leaders after suffering a late defeat against Kilmarnock at Rugby Park. Author - Mark Lee In a lacklustre match, Rangers wasted several opportunities to secure three points. A combination of poor finishing and solid defending from Kilmarnock made it another frustrating afternoon for the Belgian manager. As the game was heading for a draw, David Watson's lob found Marley Watkins, who beat the offside trap and bundled the ball past Jack Butland. The Gers need to regroup quickly ahead of their Europa League match against FCSB on Thursday. Meanwhile, Derek McInnes' team has now moved to seventh place and are just outside the top six on goal difference. A closer look at how Kilmarnock stunned this Rangers side Home form has traditionally been a strength for Kilmarnock , but they had recorded five draws and one defeat in all competitions on their own pitch leading up to this game. ⚽️ Goal of the day: Mar
