QUARTET UP FOR SALE AT MANCHESTER UNITED
Manchester United are looking to wave farewell to four players this summer as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looks to increase his summer warchest.
The United manager is said to be looking for ‘two to three’ signings this summer – a centre-half, a striker and a right-back.
Everton‘s only goal against Southampton was illustrative of the multinational mix that is modern English football.
A 75-yard, back-to-front punt from a Wearside ‘keeper to a Yokshire-born No.9 – a Yorkshireman so obstinately Yorkshire he decided to flick it on to himself, just to show he could win as many aerial duels as he liked – a knockdown to a cool Icelandic creator, and a cultured through pass to the man running beyond.
Then the finish, one that left you needing to see neither name nor passport to identify the scorer’s roots.
The Toffees’ No.7 dropped his left shoulder and made Fraser Forster believe he’d take on the shot first time. But one touch took it around Forster, leaving the Southampton ‘keeper on the ground and the goal gaping. The second put it into the back of the net.

The Inter flop pitched in with 14 goals across this delayed, extended Serie A season to help his side to glory. The title was clinched at the death, despite a 2-1 defeat against Sao Paulo, due to Internacional s failure to overcome Corinthians after seeing a 97th-minute goal ruled out for offside in a thrilling finale.
It was in the final stretch of the season, moreover, that Gabigol really showed his mettle. Six goals in as many games, including the winner against Inter in the penultimate fixture, helped Rogerio Ceni s charges to five wins and a draw.
That left them in an almost unassailable position going into the decider, even if they were made to sweat watching the action in the other match via cellphone on the Maracana pitch.
