Manchester United assistant manager Ryan Giggs
thinks Memphis Depay will bring the Cristiano
Ronaldo-factor back to Old Trafford.
United signed Depay for around €30 million back

Allegri confirms Isco & Oscar interest
The head coach of the beaten Champions League
finalists has revealed his interest in adding an
attacking midfielder to his squad this summer
Massimiliano Allegri has confirmed Juventus are in
the market for a new attacking midfielder and
highlighted Real Madrid playmaker Isco and
Chelsea star Oscar as ideal potential signings.
The Scudetto and Coppa Italia winners went
painfully close to winning the treble in 2014-15,
losing to Spanish champions Barcelona in the
Champions League final.
Now Allegri has openly revealed his admiration of
creative talents Isco and Oscar, in addition to
Sassuolo's Domenico Berardi and Fiorentina's
Federico Bernardeschi.
With Carlos Tevez leaving for Boca Juniors and
Andrea Pirlo expected to join New York City, the
head coach is keen to freshen up his tactical
approach and playing squad next season to
replace the departing established stars.
"I would like a footballing inventor - they are never
boring," Allegri told La Repubblica. "A wildcard in
the line-up can bring a different balance to the
table.
"Ego in moderate amounts is not harmful to a
team's health. I like Real Madrid's Isco and
Brazil's Oscar, while among the young Italians
there is much to admire in Berardi and
Bernardeschi.

De Gea can win more tittles with Man United-Schmeichel
The Spaniard has been heavily linked with a move
to Real Madrid in recent weeks but the Dane
insists Louis van Gaal should "fight tooth and nail"
to keep him
Peter Schmeichel believes David De Gea can win
more medals than him if he chooses to stay at
Manchester United this summer, amid interest from
Real Madrid.
Schmeichel won 15 trophies at Old Trafford during
a glittering eight-year stay at the club, including
five Premier Leagues and the Champions League.
De Gea has emerged as one of the finest
goalkeepers in world football over the last two
seasons and has attracted interest from the
Spanish giants, but United's former keeper has
urged him to stay at Old Trafford.
“I would be upset if he left this summer because
I’m certain he could go on to make multiple
hundreds of appearances for United — and end up
winning more medals than me,” he is quoted as
saying by The Sun .

Higuain not for Sale
The Partenopei official has told interested parties
Juventus and AC Milan that they will not sell their
most prized possession this summer
Napoli sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli has
warned the major footballing powers in the north of
Italy that they will not be selling star striker
Gonzalo Higuain this summer.
The Argentina international has been a big hit at
the Stadio San Paolo since arriving from Real
Madrid for €40 million in 2013 and the forward still
has three years to run on his current contract with
the Partenopei.
However, Juventus and AC Milan have both been
heavily linked with a move for Higuain, who was
reportedly unhappy with Napoli's failure to qualify
for next season's Champions League.
Giuntoli, though, says that Napoli have no desire to
cash in on their most prized asset, revealing that
his sole focus is on strengthening the squad
elsewhere.

Miranda-Brazil were unlucky
convert their spot-kicks but the stand-in Selecao
skipper refused to criticise his colleagues
Miranda struggled to find the right words after
Brazil's devastating Copa America exit at the
hands of Paraguay , insisting that his team were
unlucky to go out on penalties.
Robinho put the Selecao ahead after just a quarter
of an hour in Concepcion but Derlis Gonzalez
levelled matters from the spot with 18 minutes
remaining.
The Paraguay attacker then repeated the feat in the
shootout, after misses from Brazil duo Everton
Ribeiro and Douglas Costa, to send his side
through to the semi-finals and leave Miranda and
his colleagues disconsolate.
"It's hard to say anything now," the centre-back,
who captained Brazil in the absence of the
suspended Neymar, told SporTV. "It's a moment of
sadness.
