Meanwhile, Real Madrid are reportedly lining up a move for United wonderkid Alejandro Garnacho.

Get all the latest news and gossip coming out of Old Trafford…
Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has commented on Manchester United legend Cristiano Ronaldo being a free agent.
Khelaifi appeared to rule out making a move for Ronaldo, who seems to be on his way to joining Al-Nassr.
The PSG chief doesn’t seem keen as he already has Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar in the team.
He said: “Cristiano Ronaldo at PSG?
“With the three players we have [Messi, Neymar, Mbappe], it’s very difficult, but I wish him the best. He is fantastic and he is still an extraordinary player”
Another game for Cristiano Ronaldo, another appearance on the substitutes' bench.
Portugal boss Fernando Santos was not happy with his star man's reaction when he was substituted against South Korea during the group stages and dropped him for the team's last 16 game as a result.
Ronaldo's deputy, Goncalo Ramos, took his opportunity with both hands and now Portugal's six-time Ballon d'Or winner is on the outside looking in.
Cristiano Ronaldo's pal Piers Morgan has slammed Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag over claims the 819 career-goal forward wasn't in good shape.
Man Utd ripped up Ronaldo's contract after his bombshell interview with SunSport columnist and TalkTV main man Morgan.
But the Dutch Ten Hag hinted Ronaldo's lack of fitness may have contributed to his exile.
He said: "When he is in good shape, he is a good player and he could help us to get back and achieve the objectives we have.
“That is quite clear. But he wasn’t.”
Pal Morgan has hit back at Ten Hag, labelling the United manager a "clown".
Morgan fumed: "Hard to imagine why Ronaldo felt disrespected by this clown, isn’t it.."
Manager Santos is set to once again have ex-Man Utd star Cristiano Ronaldo sat on the bench after Ramos’ heroics against Switzerland.
Here’s how they lined up against the Swiss in the last-16.
England must first beat France in the quarter-finals this evening in order to match their achievement of reaching the last four in Russia 2018.
And Gareth Southgate insists his team are much better equipped to beat football’s superpowers than they were four years ago.
The Three Lions boss said: “The biggest thing for me in the game is going to be our mentality.
“We’ll of course be tactically prepared. But on these nights you’ve got to have men that stand up and take on the challenge.
“That’s the bit we’ve got to prove to people. We’ve had some outstanding nights and the next game is always the most important.
“It’s against a good level of opponent, one we’re ready for.
“One, if you’d asked me four years ago were we quite ready, I’m not sure. Now I feel differently about that, and that’s because we’ve got evidence over a long period of results.
“Now we’ve got go and nail this type of game.”
Argentina captain Lionel Messi tore into ex-Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal for his long ball approach to Holland's World Cup quarter-final.
The South American champions avoided a late scare, beating the Dutch on penalties after seeing their two-goal lead evaporate late on in normal time.
Beanstalk Wout Weghorst bagged the brace that saved the Dutch and sent the game to a nervy penalty shootout.
But Van Gaal‘s tactical switch to chucking on tall players and hitting long balls left Messi unimpressed – as it was Dutch fans and press prior to kick-off.
Van Gaal had previously bit back at journalists in pre-match press conferences when his approach to games were criticised and claimed Holland play good football.
England are set for their toughest test in the World Cup as they take on France in the quarter-finals at the Al Bayt Stadium.
Chelsea star Raheem Sterling returned to Qatar after flying home to the UK but doesn’t seem likely to take part in the match.
Arsenal ace Ben White left the squad for “personal reasons” with rumours suggesting he fell out with manager Gareth Southgate’s assistant Steve Holland.
Newcastle’s Callum Wilson is nursing a minor strain, while West Ham’s Declan Rice missed training on Wednesday due to an illness that is unlikely to prevent him from competing.
United's Marcus Rashford, Luke Shaw and Harry Maguire are all fit.
France boss Didier Deschamps, on the other hand, is set to have star man Kylian Mbappe available following an injury scare that led him to miss training.
Gareth Southgate is ready to break out his dance moves if England win the World Cup.
And the Three Lions boss believes that this time, more than any other time, his team have what it takes to pull off a statement victory against reigning champions France tonight.
Southgate initially claimed it was “unlikely” he would follow Brazil manager Tite and Dutch counterpart – and former Man Utd boss – Louis van Gaal by showing off some dad dancing in Qatar.
But what if England lift the trophy on December 18? Southgate said: “Oh, that might be different. I am quite happy to embarrass myself like anybody else at that point. But certainly not beforehand.”
Manchester United ace Antony has taken to Instagram after Brazil’s shock exit from the World Cup.
The South American side lost the quarter-final on penalties to 2018 finalists Croatia.
Antony wrote: “Not how I wanted to begin this message… but first of all, I need to say how proud I am for each of you who has lived this dream with me!!
“It’s been years, months, weeks, days and more days thinking about bringing this title back home, the country of football! And we tried everything ….
“Every drop of sweat poured, every bug, every vibration, every dribble and goal… We made it!
“Today, there is the sadness of an elimination, of an interrupted dream…
“However, I am sure that we will come back even stronger, more united and with the same desire to give joy to all who cheer for us!!
“Antony who leaves Qatar today is the same one who painted the streets of Osasco dreaming of a World Cup title.
“Not now, but we’ll be back! Hexa is still our goal We will cry today, we have that right, we are human beings, but tomorrow we will start to rebuild our history! “
Lionel Messi yelled at “stupid” Dutch rival Wout Weghorst in a post-match interview after tense scenes in the World Cup quarter-final.
Argentina beat Holland 4-3 on penalties after the two sides played out a 2-2 draw in 120 minutes of football.
The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner, standing at 5ft7, told the Dutch giant: “Who are you looking at? Go ahead you stupid.”
Ex-Man Utd boss Louis van Gaal was also seen in a heated discussion with Messi.
Erik ten Hag had to watch TV to see for himself how he had been stabbed in the back by Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Manchester United boss admits that Ronaldo, who said he had “no respect” for the Dutchman, showed him no decency, saying: “Yes, it is so. In the summer we had one talk.
“He came in and said: ‘I will tell you in seven days if I want to stay’.
“Then he came back and said ‘I want to stay’. Until that moment (the interview) I never heard anything.”
Manchester United summer signing Lisandro Martinez is a World Cup semi-finalist.
The centre-back helped Argentina overcome Holland in the quarters.
Argentina took a two-goal lead which collapsed in the final ten minutes and lengthy added-time.
Extra-time didn't produce much, but Argentina won the contest on penalties.
Manchester United starlet Alejandro Garnacho is being lined up for a move to Real Madrid.
United are keen to tie Garnacho down to new fresh terms, and it is suggested they could increase his £5,000-per-week wages tenfold.
However, this could be made harder to achieve with Real believed to be keen on signing the 18-year-old, according to Relevo.
The same report claims Los Blancos are monitoring the winger's situation at Old Trafford and they consider him "one of the great stars of the future."
The outlet adds that "Madrid and Garnacho like each other", but there are other clubs interested in signing him as well.
Meanwhile, United are looking to speed up the process of offering Diogo Dalot a new deal.
Dalot has been in excellent form this term which has seen him nail down a spot as the United's starting right-back under manager Erik ten Hag.
However, the 23-year-old is out of contract next summer and the Red Devils are under pressure to get a deal over the line quickly before other interested parties submit pre-contract offers to swipe him away.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the Manchester giants have been impressed with the full-back’s form – which even saw him usurp Joao Cancelo in the Portugal starting line-up in the World Cup.
Romano reports a meeting is expected to take place between Dalot and the club's chiefs after the World Cup.
And Cristiano Ronaldo is causing more unrest in the Portugal squad with his team-mates confused over why his personal manager is at their World Cup camp.
Ronaldo has found himself in the spotlight in Qatar, firstly for his bombshell interview which saw him sacked by Manchester United.
And now the five-time Ballon d'Or winner is said to have been causing issues in his national side.
The forward scored his side's first goal of the tournament, but was dropped for their Last-16 victory over Switzerland after sulking following his substitution against South Korea.
According to Record, the Portugal captain threatened to leave the World Cup after learning that he was benched by manager Fernando Santos.
But Portugal have since denied those claims.
Finally, Otavio claims Ronaldo made sure to "cheer up the team" after he was dropped against Switzerland.
The Porto ace has revealed that the Real great did not kick up a fuss about being benched and instead made sure the rest of the squad was okay.
The forward told COPEMundial: "Do you know the first thing Ronaldo did when he found out he wouldn't start? He went to talk to Goncalo [Ramos] and the rest of the team to cheer them up. He is our leader."
Manchester United legend Cristiano Ronaldo has been warned by boxing great Tyson Fury about how time catches up to everyone.
Fury, who is a United fan, has weighed in and warned Ronaldo that his time at the top is coming to an end.
The Gypsy King told talkSPORT: "At the time [beating Wladimir Klitschko] was the Everest. I was the heavy underdog, people thought I was going to get smashed to pieces, and he was the unified champion for like 11 years and at some point thought he was unbeatable, but I went over to Germany and beat him.
"In this game it’s not about how much better somebody is than the other person, a lot of it has to do with natural stuff, like age, and at 38-years old you are on the decline, whether you want to admit it or not.
"If you look at Cristiano Ronaldo, he’s 37 years old, he’s had the best doctors, the best physiotherapists, he’s lived like an egg in Mr Kipling’s cake.
"But even Ronaldo is on the slide now, so even someone who has looked after himself like that, it catches up to you… so imagine a boxer who has been punched to pieces for the last 20 years.
"The age factor will not wait for anybody, no matter how you’ve lived. Whether you’ve never had a drink in your life, if you’ve never run on any hard surfaces, no matter who you are, age will get you eventually"
Despite Manchester United legend Patrice Evra’s confidence in France’s ability to beat England, he warned Les Bleus against underestimating Gareth Southgate’s side.
Evra said: “With England, the star is the team. It’s not just one player.
“This is the best English side, as a team, not as a group of individuals. England look more of a unit than France.
“But [Jude] Bellingham will be by far the best midfielder England have ever had.
“What a joy it is to see him play. He is a complete player. It’s scary he’s only 19”
England aces John Stones and Harry Maguire of Manchester United will find it nearly impossible to deal with France superstar Kylian Mbappe, according to Red Devils legend Patrice Evra.
Evra said: “[Kyle] Walker is going to block Mbappe, he did it against Neymar very well in the Champions League for Manchester City.
“He can be confident and say he’s got him because he’s fast and strong, but Mbappe will find a way to escape. He will move into the centre.
“I hope he does because Stones and Maguire won’t be able to deal with him. It will be difficult for them to stop him.
“To stop Mbappe when he’s in the centre, you have to be close to him every time, frustrate him, foul him – he doesn’t like to be fouled.
“Maguire and Stones will love playing against [Olivier] Giroud though, he’s not fast, he’s strong and that is the jackpot for them”
Mesut Ozil has defended former Real Madrid team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo and accused pundits of using the Manchester United legend's name for attention.
Speaking on Twitter, Ozil said: "Pundits who don't have a career anymore just want to get attention with his big name and try to make him look bad.
"He is soon 38 years old – so what's the surprise that he doesn't score 50 goals a season anymore? Every football fan out there should be happy to have seen him playing world class football for 20 years.
"I don't think anyone from the new generation will be able to match his numbers again. He will forever be in his own category.
"Everyone should show more respect to one of the greatest athletes in sports history…"

Inter Milan are keen on a free transfer swoop for ex-Manchester United ace Chris Smalling, who currently plays for Roma.
Smalling's contract is up at the end of term, and he is yet to respond to a new two-year offer from the Giallorossi.
According to transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio, Inter are preparing to make a move for the centre-back as they seek defensive reinforcements.
A San Siro switch would see the former England international 's pay rise and arguably provide him with a better chance of winning the Serie A title

Manchester United legend Roy Keane flew home from the 2022 World Cup in Qatar because his fellow pundits were "getting on his nerves".
Former United team-mate and fellow pundit Gary Neville said: "To be fair Roy went home for four or five days as well actually. He went back.”
Keane replied: "I had a break. I needed a break, just my tolerance levels.
"Yeah, people get on my nerves”
Brazil and Manchester United star Anthony has been caught attempting an outrageous dive against Croatia in the 2022 World Cup quarter-finals.
The winger was trying to win his side a free-kick in a dangerous position when he took the embarrassing tumble.
The 22-year-old had moved the ball past Ivan Perisic but then collapsed to the ground in the 74th minute.
Fortunately, the Brazil international was not rewarded for his antics and play was waved on by referee Michael Oliver, despite his protests.
Although, Antony did have some luck as he did somehow escape punishment for what was a clear dive
