Manchester United forward Anthony Martial looks ready to commit his future to the club following contact from managerial candidate Zinedine Zidane.

The France international has had a difficult time at Old Trafford, and was out of the squad altogether for the 3-0 defeat against Tottenham on Monday night.

Clearly not an ideal fit for current manager Jose Mourinho, it is little surprise that RMC reported later that night that Martial wants out of the club.

However, the Times have since reported that the 22-year-old is ready to sign a new long-term contract with the Red Devils as he feels he can out-last Mourinho.

CaughtOffside were recently told by sources close to former Real Madrid manager Zidane that he was confident he could be offered the United jobimminently after the team’s poor start to the season under Mourinho.

A contact close to the French tactician also informed CaughtOffside that Zidane had spoken to Martial and fellow Frenchman Paul Pogba about staying at the club as he prepares to take over.

Despite the Independent claiming Zidane is keen on a bit more of a break from football after stepping down at the Bernabeu at the end of last season, the same source close to the coach has again told CaughtOffside of the 46-year-old’s contact with Martial, stating that the player’s turnaround over his future and decision over a potential new contract is down to Zidane’s personal intervention.

CaughtOffside understands Zidane has vowed to make Martial a key part of his squad if he takes over, as he rates the former Monaco starlet highly.

Zinedine Zidane to Manchester United speculation won’t die down

Jose Mourinho nearing Manchester United sack?

It has widely been felt that a different style of manager could be needed to get the best out of flair players like Martial and Pogba, who have not flourished under the more conservative-minded Mourinho, despite showing glimpses of real potential under other managers and at other clubs.

The Portuguese has never really been one for getting attackers to express themselves, as he expects even his forwards to contribute defensively in a solid and well-organised set-up.

Given his methods are no longer yielding the success they brought during his days at Porto, Chelsea and Inter Milan, however, it would make sense if a change were now sought by United.

Man Utd fans, would you be happy to replace Mourinho with Zidane?

•  HELL YES
•  No thanks

Club sources continue to rule out Zidane speculation, and as noted by the Independent, it may be that Tottenham’s Mauricio Pochettino is the favoured candidate to replace Mourinho, though as stated in that piece, the Argentine is a slightly more ambitious target due to being employed by a major rival.

Zidane, however, remains out of work since leaving Madrid and word from his entourage seems more positive about the prospects of heading to Old Trafford soon, so much so that he may already be influencing the decisions of key players like Martial behind the scenes. Similarly, Spanish outlet Don Balon have also reported on him already making transfer plans for if he gets the job.

United take on Burnley in their next league game and the Daily Mail claim he faces the sack if the team loses again, so it may be that we’ll know a lot more about what’s really going on with Zidane soon enough.

Manchester United’s Paul Pogba tells friends the reason he wants Barcelona transfer

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has reportedly informed close friends of his reason for wanting a transfer to Barcelona.

Despite interest from Real Madrid this summer, the France international is said to favour Barcelona due to a long-running desire to play alongside Lionel Messi, according to Diario Gol.

Pogba is one of the best players in the world on his day but has struggled to show that form in his time at Old Trafford so far, so it’s little surprise he may feel a move to an elite club side is one that could benefit him greatly.

Playing alongside Messi would make anyone’s life easier, but it’s also fair to say the style of play at Barca would probably also fit Pogba better than the one currently adopted by Jose Mourinho at United.

Despite growing talk that United could change managers after this difficult start to the campaign, the Independent suggest the club are prepared to be patient due partly to a lack of obviously available replacement at the moment.

CaughtOffside have been told, however, that Zidane has spoken to both Pogba and another Frenchman Anthony Martial about taking the job, encouraging both players to stay at the club.

Should Manchester United sell Paul Pogba?

•  Yes, he's been a disappointment
•  No way, he's a huge talent!

Martial seems to be considering signing a new deal as a result of that, but Diario Gol seem to suggest Pogba is still focusing on leaving for the Nou Camp.

It seems highly unlikely that the 25-year-old will be on the move any time soon anyway, as the transfer window is closed for Premier League clubs until January, meaning that although they could still sell before tomorrow’s European deadline, they’d have little interest in doing so as they’d face a long wait to replace him.

7-year-old girl defiled by two married men in Lagos

It has been discovered that two married men continually defiled a 7-year-old girl in their compound in Lagos and the girl has confirmed this to their wives.

Investigation revealed that Dare was the first to begin assaulting the girl in 2017. Then in 2018, Gbolahan joined to rape the girl on multiple occasions. Both men threatened the girl not to reveal their actions to anyone. 

Dare and Gbolahan were arrested after the matter was reported to the police at the Gender Section of the Command, P.M. Express reports. Their wives were also informed and the girl confirmed to the women that their husbands had been sexually assaulting her.

It was at the police station that Dare and Gbolahan discovered that they were both sleeping with the victim after the girl confronted them before the police. They were found culpable and charged before the Ogba Magistrates court for the alleged offence. The court ordered them to be remanded in prison without taking their plea.

The matter was adjourned till September 24, 2018.
