Manchester United are readying a move for West Ham United full-back Aaron Creswell, .
The twenty-five year old has emerged as a target for Louis van Gaal’s side, who are looking to strengthen in that area following Luke Shaw’s potentially season-ending injury.
Manchester City had been linked with a move for the former Ipswich Town man, who only moved to Upton Park in the summer of 2014.
Since arriving at the East London club, Creswell has racked up fifty-one appearances in all competitions, scoring two goals and was voted their Players’ Player of the Year last season.
He was also selected as Ipswich’s Player of the Year in 2012, and was named in the PFA Championship Team of the Year at the end of the 2013/14.

According to Tuttosport, Inter Milan, Juventus and Napoli have all shown signs of interest when it comes to Fiorentina midfielder Federico Chiesa. The 21 year old has been turning heads for months now and it s always seemed like a big move elsewhere could be on the cards, but if this report is to be believed, he ll be staying in Serie A one way or another.
Fiorentina are open to the idea of selling but they do value him at £62 million, which is a figure that could easily throw a few of the interested clubs off of the scent. In addition to the Italian clubs mentioned, Chelsea also consider him to be a target which shouldn t come as too much of a surprise given manager Maurizio Sarri s history in Serie A.
Chiesa has been with Fiorentina since way back in 2007, making his…

Ander Herrera urged Paris Saint-Germain to start again after falling to Bayern Munich in the Champions League final on Sunday.
PSG were unable to claim a maiden Champions League title as Kingsley Coman s second-half goal proved to be enough for a 1-0 Bayern victory in Lisbon.
Thomas Tuchel s men won four trophies in 2019-20, including Ligue 1, Coupe de France and Coupe de la Ligue, as well as reaching the club s first Champions League final.
Herrera said the loss to Bayern was hard to accept, but he called for PSG to move forward.
Right now it s difficult to sleep, it s difficult to speak, it s difficult to explain, the PSG midfielder said, via UEFA.com.
But, from tomorrow, at least myself, and I m sure my team-mates as well, we re going to star…
After landing their first French league title in 18 years last May, Marseille are aiming to re-sample the rarefied air of top spot with a win over early pace-setters Rennes on Saturday.
After starting their campaign by losing to unheralded Caen and Valenciennes, Marseille have slowly begun to plug back into last term s form and last week s 3-1 win at Lille left Didier Deschamps men just a point behind Rennes.
Rennes themselves have never won the title but set off on a fine early run prior to last week s home loss to Montpellier.
Now Frederic Antonetti s side must show that result has not derailed their nascent title aspirations.
The visitors chances could hinge on the availability of Colombian striker and top scorer Victor Hugo Montano, who has been stru…
Schalke will look to make the most of their home ground advantage when they host Champions League Group B leaders Lyon on Wednesday.
Lyon top the Group B standings on nine points, with Schalke second and Portuguese club Benfica a further point back. With the two Round of 16 slots still to be decided, Schalke coach Felix Magath wants to use the home clash at the Arena AufSchalke to overhaul the group pacesetters.
This is our third home match. We comfortably won the first two so we will have a chance tomorrow as well even though we are hosting Lyon, probably the strongest team in the group, Magath said.
We have to take care of our own situation and improve our own position by winning.
Magath said his side would have to be wary of the threat posed by Ly…

The visitors dominated the clash, with Claudio Marchisio allowed time and space to command midfield and Mandzukic and Pogba offering a regular threat up front.
But for the saves of Carpi goalkeeper Vid Belec t…
