After United’s 2-0 defeat to PSG in Chicago on Thursday, Laurent Blanc said both clubs were close to striking a deal for the player.

Arsenal youngster Hector Bellerin has expressed his delight at having ended pre-season on an optimistic note by beating Chelsea to lift the Community Shield on Sunday. It was Wenger’s first win over Mourinho in 14 attempts, per Mirror Online’s John Cross.
