Ajax boss Erik Ten Hag, 52, will make Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves his first transfer target if he is appointed Manchester United manager, according to The Sun. The Red Devils have reportedly tried to sign the 25-year-old in the last two transfer windows but their Premier League rivals have refused to budge.
In more gossip related to the Dutch manager, Ten Hag is planning to take 20-year-old Ajax defender Jurrien Timber with him to Old Trafford if he lands the top job. The Star writes that Ten Hag is the current frontrunner to replace Ralf Rangnick, although Paris St Germain boss Mauricio Pochettino is also rumoured to still be in the running.
Elsewhere, Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku could be returning to Inter Milan after falling out of favour with Thomas Tuchel, the Daily Mirror says. The 28-year-old signed with the Blues over the summer for £97.5million. His former club is reportedly open to his return.
The Daily Star writes that Leeds defender Luke Ayling wants to spend the rest of his career at the club. The 30-year-old will be out of contract at the end of next season and his future currently remains unclear.
