What's happening at United this week? (Manchester United)

The FA Youth Cup final takes top billing, as the next seven days for the Reds are mapped out.

On 15 May 1968, United travelled to Real Madrid in the second leg of the European Cup semi-final and played out a thrilling 3-3 draw. Kick-off against Forest at Old Trafford is set for 19:30 BST and we'll be covering the final on ManUtd.com and in the United App. Six years later on the same date, Antonio Valencia played his last match for the club. By then, he had already won his 13th Premier League title, which took the club's overall tally of championships to 20. We're naturally wishing him the best of luck. We'll also be keeping a keen eye on ticket sales for the occasion, after reporting last week that more than 50,000 seats had already been snapped up at the price of just £1 each.

Brandon Williams is being investigated by Norwich City after he uploaded a social media post following the Canaries' loss to West Ham at Carrow Road.

The likes of Luke Shaw are ahead of Williams in the pecking order but Erik ten Hag's arrival could yet give him a fresh opportunity. The club have continued to yo-yo between the top two tiers of English football. He uploaded a picture of himself putting up his middle fingers alongside the caption: “What a beautiful day.

Declan Rice, Christopher Nkunku, Frenkie De Jong: Man Utd target ... (Eurosport.co.uk)

Manchester United are ready to refresh their squad this summer as their transfer shortlist includes up to eight big-name signings.

The Blaugrana want the 31-year-old to improve their defensive options and he could be allowed to leave Stamford Bridge this summer. Alonso would add plenty of experience to the squad and even an attacking threat. The Mail report that Barca have already agreed to sign centre-back Andreas Christensen as a free agent this summer, while the club have made an offer to Chelsea’s club captain Cesar Azpilicueta. The report reveals that Blues left-back Marcos Alonso is hoping to return to Spain and join Barcelona too. Despite all of that, Raphinha would be a great signing for Barcelona – and he could be available for a cut-price fee if Leeds do end up getting relegated. Leeds currently sit in 18th place and are in the relegation zone after a disappointing defeat at Arsenal on Sunday. It’s more about the personalities not gelling and the underperformers needing a new start elsewhere.

United have made moves to clear the deck ahead of Ten Hag's arrival by axing a number of off-field personnel, but the deep-rooted issues that Mourinho alluded to could take years to resolve. Speaking back in 2019, he told BeIN SPORTS: ""If I tell you, for example, that I consider one of the best jobs of my career was to finish second with Man United in the Premier League, you will say, 'this guy is crazy.' He won 25 titles and he is saying that a second position was one of his best achievements? Mourinho has one of the most impressive resumes in football - but even he was unable to restore United's fortunes.

The Dutchman is expected to implement a style of play that has not been seen at Old Trafford in recent years, which could test the playing group. But he doesn’t want to leave on a low and wants to help get the club back into the Champions League and try and win a trophy next year. United signed the 37-year-old less than 12 months ago and the forward has a year left on his deal, which he is keen to see out.
