Ex-Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino wants to become the next Manchester United manager as pressure mounts on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the Manchester Evening News reports.

Norwich, Watford and Crystal Palace are keeping tabs on Enfield forward Muhammadu Faal, 22, who is related to Liverpool and England defender Joe Gomez, The Sun says.
