Because of Cong Phuong, K.League continues to do something unprecedented
According to Kyunghyang Shinmun, in the last 3 matches of Incheon United, about 25 to 30 thousand fans visited the K.League homepage to watch the match. This huge demand caused the K.League.com website to be completely paralyzed.
To avoid the above situation from happening, according to Kyunghyang Shinmun, the Korean Football Federation and the K.League Organizing Committee are negotiating with a Vietnamese partner to broadcast Incheon United's matches live on television to serve the huge demand of fans in the "S-shaped country".
According to Kyunghyang Shinmun, the negotiation process is going very smoothly and it is likely that from round 4 of K.League 2019, Vietnamese fans will be able to watch Incheon United and Cong Phuong compete on television.
In round 4 of K.League, Incheon United will visit Suwon Bluewings at 2:00 p.m. on March 31. After a very good performance in the loss to Sangju Sangmu, Cong Phuong is expected to start against Suwon Bluewings.
MU agrees to sell De Gea to Real, get Thibaut Courtois
Manchester United are reported to have told Real Madrid in secret talks that if they want De Gea then they should bring Thibaut Courtois back to Old Trafford.

If they cannot keep De Gea, MU wants Thibaut Courtois from Real Madrid. |
Rumors of MU pursuing De Gea again appeared when Zidane returned to Real Madrid. Meanwhile, goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois' dream of playing for the Spanish Royal team turned into a nightmare, because of the competition with Keylor Navas.
The Belgian goalkeeper tried every way to leave Chelsea to play for Real Madrid, but Zidane returned and Navas, who had previously been trusted by the French football legend, returned to the coach's squad in the recent 2-0 win over Celta Vigo.
De Gea has yet to renew his contract with MU, which will expire next summer. Zidane is eager to own the Spanish goalkeeper, and that is also the wish of President Perez.
However, according to The Sun, Thibaut Courtois does not want to join MU, but prefers to move to PSG once he leaves Real Madrid.
MU activates "hot" clause to keep Rashford

Rashford has yet to agree to a long-term deal with MU. |
Recently, Rashford's representative had several negotiations with MU leaders to discuss the future as well as finalize a new contract. However, the Manchester team is quite disappointed when the negotiation process has not made much progress due to problems related to salary.
Therefore, the Red Devils bosses are preparing to activate a 1-year extension clause with Rashford, to extend the current contract until June 2020.
Next month, MU will continue to sit down with Rashford's representative to convince him to soon sign a 5-year contract, receiving a salary of 180,000 pounds/week.
A source from Old Trafford said: "We are offering many options for Rashford. He wants to stay at Old Trafford and the club is trying to meet the best conditions for this 21-year-old striker.
Hopefully there will be progress in the upcoming international break. The new deal Rashford is negotiating does not include a bonus clause."
More MU stars were sent back
The injury storm has devastated MU again when midfielder Nemanja Matic was left out of the Serbia squad for the matches against Germany and Portugal because he did not meet the fitness requirements. In the previous match against Wolves at club level, Matic played but could not play until the end of the match. It is possible that Matic has relapsed with the calf injury that kept him out for a long time before. Serbia coach Mladen Krstajic expressed regret at not having Matic's service in the EURO 2020 qualifiers.
Matic is the fourth MU player to withdraw from the national team's call-up list this time. Previously, Luke Shaw left the England team, Anthony Martial was sent back by the French team due to injury. In the case of Victor Lindelof, he voluntarily withdrew from the Swedish team's call-up list due to personal problems.
Italy changes transfer regulations
The president of the Italian Football Federation, Gabriele Gravina, has confirmed that they are considering abolishing the “buy-back” clause in player transfer contracts. This is to ensure the rights of small clubs and avoid complications in transactions.
