Bournemouth will offer Welsh wonder David Brooks a huge pay rise to keep Manchester United and Tottenham at bay.

RED DEVILS SKIPPER SET FOR AXEING

United captain Antonio Valencia is set to leave Old Trafford in the summer as his representatives have “started negotiations” with Inter Milan, according to the Mirror.

The Ecuadorian’s contract expires in six months and the Red Devils are reluctant to extend it.

United have an option to extend Valencia’s contract for one more year, and have till March to trigger the extension.

The Red Devils have already used the option to keep David De Gea and Anthony Martial for a further 12 months, but the club have not shown any intention to make an offer to either Valencia or Phil Jones.

Antonio Valencia has failed to impress United chiefs in recent years.

The Italian heavyweights are long-time admirers of the Belgian and were even in talks to sign him on a free transfer towards the end of last season.

There’s been speculation surrounding his future at the club since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s arrival, and according to the Daily Mail in the UK, Milan are keen to strike a deal for his services.

By all accounts, getting the deal across the line could prove tricky for Milan, with FC Porto and Chinese club Guangzhou Evergrande also keen on obtaining his signature.

Marouane Fellaini's afro will always be remembered at Old Trafford.
