MU was rejected again for the Wan-Bissaka deal

After the first offer of £35 million was rejected, MU made a second offer to buy Wan-Bissaka for £35 million plus £15 million in additional fees, but still could not convince the London partner.

Crystal Palace are determined. The Selhurst board want to receive the £50 million instead of having to wait for Wan-Bissaka’s performance next season to see if they can collect the extra fee.

Wan-Bissaka was born in 1997. His impressive performance in the Premier League 2018/19 helped the English player catch the eye of Man Utd. Coach Solskjaer considers him a worthy successor to Antonio Valencia's position at Old Trafford.

Last season, the former England U21 international started 35 times, making 3 assists. Wan-Bissaka possesses a complete skill set to become a top full-back such as tackling, intercepting, dribbling. Abundant energy also helps the 21-year-old player to constantly make diving situations to prevent opponents' shots.

If they fail to sign Wan-Bissaka, Man Utd will turn to another target, Denzel Dumfries. He is the number one full-back for PSV and the Dutch national team. Moreover, Dumfries is only worth about 25 million pounds.

In addition to the full-back position, Man Utd are also targeting a few stars in midfield, such as Philippe Coutinho (Barcelona) or Adrien Rabiot (PSG).

13:30, U-20 Asian futsal quarter-finals Vietnam - Indonesia

The quarter-final match between Vietnam (VN) and Indonesia takes place at 1:30 p.m. on June 18. Coach Truong Quoc Tuan and his team can completely overcome this unknown opponent.

Indonesian futsal has not been famous yet, but in recent years they have received a lot of investment with the hope of usurping the throne of Vietnamese futsal in the future. Indonesian U-20 players have good health and skillful techniques. If Vietnam is the team present in the quarter-finals as the second team in group C (won Tajikistan 2-1, lost to Japan 1-2), then Indonesia is the first team in group D with two wins against Taiwan 6-3 and Iraq 2-1.

This will be an interesting encounter. U-20 VN is most prominent in the goalkeeper position, Tang Dinh, who has good reflexes, is tenacious and has an impressive ability to block shots with his feet. In the 2-1 victory over Tajikistan and the 1-2 loss to Japan in the group stage, Tang Dinh's role was very important.

On the Indonesian side, coach Sayan Karmadi said: “We once drew 3-3 with the young team of Vietnam. They are a young team but mature in their playing style. Vietnam has many technical players and everyone can score. However, we won against Iraq so now we don’t know what will happen when we face Vietnam.”

Once the opponent is strong in attack, the defensive and counter-attacking ability of Coach Truong Quoc Tuan's students will also adapt very quickly. Opportunities are divided equally for both.

What did the VFF President say about contract negotiations with coach Park Hang Seo?

The Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) said it is preparing to promote a plan to negotiate a contract extension with the Korean coach. Coach Park Hang Seo will receive a salary commensurate with his contributions over the past two years.

“The VFF’s view is that they will soon negotiate a contract extension with Coach Park Hang Seo. Of course, the new contract will have changes compared to the old contract based on a comprehensive assessment of related issues to ensure it is reasonable for both parties,” said Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Chairman of the VFF Le Khanh Hai.

Coach Park Hang Seo's salary is paid by Mr. Duc. At the time VFF signed the contract with Coach Park Hang Seo, Mr. Duc was Vice President in charge of finance and sponsorship. This position is currently held by Mr. Can Van Nghia, former Director of My Dinh National Sports Complex. It is known that after the AFF Cup 2018, a number of businesses have expressed their willingness to share the burden of paying the Korean coach's salary with VFF.

However, information from VFF said that, in addition to Mr. Park Hang Seo, the cost of paying salaries for his assistant team is also very large. Just the Korean assistants brought over by Mr. Park Hang Seo have 6 people. This is a favor that VFF gives to Coach Park Hang Seo that no foreign coach has ever received.

“Babe Ruth's legacy and significance to baseball and American popular culture is unmatched by any other figure in the nation's history,” Hunt Auctions president David Hunt said in a statement.

The record auction price for the jersey is incredible. But I am not surprised by the legacy Babe Ruth left behind and is preserved in the history of this country.”

Babe Ruth played 22 seasons in Major League Baseball from 1914 to 1935. He is considered the greatest baseball player in history, and won seven World Series.

The jersey is part of the Ruth family's private collection and is part of a collection of items being auctioned at Yankee Stadium on June 15.
