United to return for Doue
Paris Saint-Germain winger Desire Doue made headlines with his heroics against Aston Villa in the Champions League. It seems his performance has given Fichajes, which is known for its outlandish claims, a good reason to link him with United.
The Red Devils tried to sign the 19-year-old when he made his breakthrough at Rennes but lost the race to PSG. Now, the Spanish outlet claims that United have “strongly renewed their interest” in Doue ahead of the summer window. Whispers Rating: 1.5/5

Barcelona interested in Alex Remiro
In the lengthy absence of Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Wojciech Szczesny, 34, has done an incredible job of guarding Barcelona's net. However, Szczesny, who had announced his retirement before joining the Blaugrana as an emergency signing, will depart Camp Nou at the end of the season.
As such, Barca football director Deco is looking to find Ter Stegen's long-term replacement and has identified Real Sociedad's Alex Remiro as an ideal option, as per Catalunya Radio (via Football Espana). The Spaniard has kept the joint-most clean sheets, along with Atletico Madrid's Jan Oblak (12). Whispers Rating: 3.5/5
