Jose Mourinho on hunt for new Manchester United full-backs as he eyes defensive overhaul
JOSE MOURINHO is unhappy with his full-back options and will look to remedy the situation over the next two transfer situations.
That’s the picture emerging from Old Trafford as the controversial boss looks to revamp his squad.
Jose Mourinho has been highly critical of Luke ShawReuters
The Daily Telegraph reports that he wants to sign a new left-back and right-back over the next year.
Mourinho’s mistrust of Luke Shaw, Daley Blind and Matteo Darmian has led to 32-year-old Ashley Young re-establishing himself in the team on the left.
It was Young’s shot that Lewis Dunk deflected into his own net to give United a narrow 1-0 win over Brighton on Saturday.
Young has emerged as a Mourinho favourite but his age counts against him.

Ashley Young fires the shot that led to United’s winner over Brighton. But the left-back’s age is a worry
Antonio Valencia, like Young, is 32 and has suffered knee problemsPA:Empics Sport
Marcos Rojo, who has just returned after seven months out with a ruptured cruciate, can also play at full-back, but is being used at centre-half.
It is well documented that Mourinho has been highly critcical of former Southampton defender Shaw, questioning his commitment, focus, ambition and football brain.

So the former England man, along with Blind and Darmian, could be on his way soon.
Blind and Darmian were unimpressive in the 1-0 Champions League defeat at Basel last week and were dropped for the Brighton game.

Youngsters Axel Tuanzebe and Timothy Fosu-Mensah, the latter on loan at Crystal Palace, are options but it is understood Mourinho wants to solve the problem with the cheque book.
Roma right-back Alessandro Florenz is a possibility here.

Why is Dion Dublin presenting Homes Under The Hammer? How former England football ace became a property expert

Why is Dion Dublin presenting Homes Under The Hammer? How former England football ace became a property expert
DION Dublin had a great career as a footballer, playing for England and appearing for several top clubs including Man United.
But in recent years he has turned his attention to property, helping to present Homes Under The Hammer on BBC One with Martin Roberts and Martel Maxwell. Here’s what you need to know about Dion…
Dion Dublin is a scorer of 111 Premier League goals for numerous clubsNews Group Newspapers Ltd
Isn’t Dion Dublin meant to be a footballer?
He is! Well, he was anyway until 2008 when he retired – he is 48 now.
But in a superb career at the top level of English football, he earned a move to Manchester United in 1992 from lowly Cambridge United.
A broken leg meant a scuppered time under Sir Alex Ferguson during which time the club signed the one and only Eric Cantona, so a move to Coventry followed in 1994.
And now he is a property presenter on Homes Under the Hammer on BBC
A prolific spell there followed, and then he moved to Aston Villa in 1998 in a year he won four England caps under Glenn Hoddle.
In 2004 he moved to Leicester, by which time he was often playing in defence rather than attack – and spells at Celtic and Norwich followed before his career finished having scored 111 Premier League goals.

So why is he presenting Homes Under the Hammer?
After playing football, Dublin worked in the media as a pundit, commentator and football phone-in presenter on Sky and the BBC.
Homes Under The Hammer hosts Martin Roberts, Martel Maxwell and Dion DublinPA:Press Association
But in 2015, he became the beneficiary of a BBC Diversity Creative Talent Fund grant for training up promising future TV presenters and began presenting the show that year alongside Roberts and then-host Lucy Alexander.
Alexander has been replaced in May 2017 by former Sun journalist Martel Maxwell.
He received around £50,000 to train him to host the show despite earning £20,000 per week in his height as a footballer.
It was at Coventry where he was most prolificNicky Hayes
But has he encountered any criticism for his performances on the property show?
He began his presenting career to mixed reviews, while many were just confused that he was fronting the show – which sees investors buy homes at auction before renovating them – at all.
Ex-Prem star Dion Dublin has taken a completely different path, and now has his own instrument
Indeed, while he did receive some strong reviews, one woman even wrote to the BBC to complain, while Dublin himself tweeted at the time that he will “try and do better”.
But two years on, it seems Dublin is right at home now on Homes Under the Hammer.
Doesn’t he also play an instrument?He did not just play one – he invented one called The Dube.
The likes of Stevie Wonder, One Direction’s drummer, and the Official England Supporters Band all have one of the ex-Premier League player’s percussion instruments.
Fergie welcomes Dublin to Old Trafford in 1992
Dublin said he was always a percussionist, which inspired him to create the wooden box which comes in all different shapes and sizes.
He said: “One day I decided to go to a hardware store – I picked up six pieces of wood, a hammer and nails, and built a box. It probably sounded useless at the time but it’s taken me to where I am today.”

Roy Hodgson wants Jack Wilshere at Crystal Palace to boost relegation fight and midfielder’s World Cup hopes
ROY HODGSON wants to sign Jack Wilshere in January to boost Crystal Palace’s hopes of avoiding relegation.
Former England boss Hodgson believes Arsenal star Wilshere has the creative quality his side needs to climb out of the bottom three in the Premier League.
Jack Wilshere is wanted by Crystal Palace in JanuaryRex Features
The Telegraph say the Palace boss will try to tempt the midfielder to Selhurst Park in January with the lure of regular first team football.
And with Wilshere still retaining hopes about forcing his way into the England squad before the World Cup, swapping the bench for a starting role could be hard for the player to ignore.
The 25-year-old is yet to start a Premier League match for the Gunners this season after missing the first month of the campaign through injury.
Wilshere has put in the hours in training to get back to full fitness and produced a series of impressive displays in the Europa League and Carabao Cup.

Jack Wilshere has yet to start a Premier League game for Arsenal this seasonPA:Empics Sport
But he is yet to gain the full trust of manager Arsene Wenger to name him from the start in the Premier League – and that has proved a big frustration.
Wilshere is desperate to force his way into the England reckoning ahead of the World Cup, but his lack of games cost him a call-up for the matches against Germany and Brazil.
DREAD DEVILS Man Utd fear Jose Mourinho wants to quit to join PSGThree Lions boss Gareth Southgate says he couldn’t consider the Arsenal star because of his lack of game – and even when injuries struck he opted to turn to Jake Livermore and Jack Cork instead.
With a run of games and good form under his belt it seems logical Wilshere would be under consideration by Southgate, but until he plays that situation cannot change.
Latest Arsenal news
Hodgson is a huge fan of the midfielder, taking him to the World Cup in 2014 even though he was not fully fit and making it clear he would always start if possible.
That faith in his ability would be a big incentive for Wilshere to swap the Emirates for Selhurst Park on loan, even though his Arsenal contract expires at the end of the season.
Fellow strugglers West Ham have also retained a strong interest, and they would be open to a move in January if Wilshere became available.

Nashville city council approves financing for MLS stadium

Nashville city council approves financing for MLS stadium
Nashville’s bid to land an expansion franchise from Major League Soccer now has $275 million in financing approved to build a new stadium, giving Music City a major boost weeks before a final decision from the league.
The Metro Nashville City Council voted 31-6 Tuesday night for $225 million in revenue bonds for the stadium itself and another $50 million in bonds for renovations and improvements around the stadium at the current fairgrounds.
Nashville Mayor Megan Barry introduced the financing plan Oct. 2, and the council’s vote was the final approval needed for the project.
MLS requires a solid stadium plan for an expansion franchise, and John Ingram, the billionaire businessman who’s the local bid’s lead owner, called the vote a great night for Nashville.
"The vision to bring Major League Soccer to our city moves one step closer," Ingram said in a statement. "Of course the final decision on the team won’t be ours, but tonight Nashville checked off the final item that MLS needed to see. I’m always proud of this city, and tonight we’ve shown — once again — how we all come together around something important to make Nashville the best it can be."
Ingram’s group added brothers Mark and Zygi Wilf , owners of the NFL’s Minnesota Vikings, and cousin Leonard Wilf in August as minority partners.
Nashville appeared to make a strong case recently when league Commissioner Don Garber visited the city this summer in conjunction with the U.S. national team’s Gold Cup opener against Panama.
The turnout caught Garber’s eye. The July 8 game drew 42,622 fans to Nissan Stadium, which was followed by a record crowd of 56,232 on July 29 to watch Manchester City beat Tottenham 3-0 in the International Champions Cup. A U.S. women’s national team SheBelieves Cup match against France last year drew more than 25,000 fans.
"If you don’t have success with friendlies or international competition, you’re not going to have success in MLS," Garber told reporters during the visit. "So that’s a checked box that we’ve actually checked a while ago."
Twelve locations expressed interest in expansion franchises. MLS is expected to announce two winning bids later this year, bringing the league to 26 teams, with two more teams to be added in the future.
MLS expanded to 22 teams this season with the addition of Atlanta United FC and Minnesota United FC. LAFC, which replaces the now-defunct Chivas USA, joins next year. Miami’s expansion effort, led by David Beckham, would bring the league to 24.
The other cities that submitted bids for an expansion team are: Cincinnati; Detroit; San Antonio; Sacramento, California; San Diego; St. Louis; Tampa-St. Petersburg, Florida; Indianapolis; Phoenix; Charlotte, North Carolina; and Raleigh, North Carolina.
