Dunkerque considering appointing Gaël Clichy as next head coach
The club believed they had the answer to Castro's departure to FC Nantes in the shape of fellow countryman Gonçalo Feio. However, the former Legia Warsaw manager lasted only 23 days before he and the club mutually agreed to end their partnership. The club, run by co-president Demba Ba, will have to act quickly with the season beginning again next month.

Back at square one, Dunkerque's search has begun again. According to a report from La Voix du Nord, the club could look to offer the role to Gaël Clichy. Yesterday, the retired Arsenal and Manchester City defender left his post as an assistant coach with the France U21s and so is now a free agent.

Sporting CP offer Man Utd chance to hijack Arsenal's Vitkor Gyokeres move for second week in a row as Swedish striker makes transfer preference clear
United Gyokeres transfer again Gyokeres keen on joining Arsenal Red Devils enquired about Ekitike Follow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱 WHAT HAPPENED? United, who are still looking to add a No.9 to their squad before the summer transfer window closes on September 1, was given another chance to sign Gyokeres by Sporting CP, according to Fabrizio Romano. The Swedish striker, however, has no intention of heading to Manchester as he remains keen on a move to Arsenal. THE BIGGER PICTURE The Red Devils had an opportunity to match Sporting CP's valuation for Gyokeres for the second week in a row as talks with the Gunners have stalled due to disagreement over the terms of payment for the striker's €70 million (£60.6m/$81.4m) fee. While the Portuguese side want the entire sum of money upfront, Arsenal are offering to pay €63.5 million at first and the remaining amount in add-ons. DID YOU KNOW? According to The Athletic's David Ornstein, the Red Devils made a move for Hugo Ekitike earlier in the window, but the Eintracht Frankfurt forward had his eyes on a Liverpool transfer. A possible swoop for Gyokeres was then discussed, but United have decided that they won't advance on any player unless they are eager to join the club. WHAT NEXT FOR MANCHESTER UNITED? United will jet off to the U.S. to continue with their pre-season preparations and are scheduled to play their first friendly against West Ham at MetLife Stadium on July 26.

Goldbridge: 'He'd fit our system like a bloody glove'
Manchester United Transfer Update: Gyökeres Talks Spark Frenzy on The United Stand Fresh Pursuit of Gyökeres Raises Eyebrows On Sunday's edition of The United Stand, Mark Goldbridge opened with a bang: 'Manchester United are back in for Viktor Gyökeres and are very close to signing him.' A surprising revelation, not least because of recent reports linking the Swedish forward almost exclusively with Arsenal. Goldbridge made it clear that this wasn't a joke, quipping, 'It's not April Fools,' before launching into a detailed breakdown of the unfolding situation. According to Goldbridge, 'Manchester United made a supersonic approach to Sporting and presented figures slightly above those negotiated with Arsenal between 70 and 80 million euros.' The original report, as he explained, came via Portuguese outlet SIC Notícias and was corroborated by A Bola and Record, all of whom indicated that Manchester United had moved decisively in recent hours. Goldbridge Reacts: 'I'd Absolutely Love It' While Goldbridge admitted his scepticism, saying, 'I don't believe it,' he could not hide his excitement. 'If you think for one second I'm going to start to get excited about this, you'd be absolutely right,' he laughed, adding, 'I bloody love it. I'd absolutely love it.' Despite his doubts about United's ability to complete the deal, Goldbridge made it clear that Gyökeres would be a perfect fit. 'He'd fit our system like a bloody glove,' he said emphatically. The bigger obstacle appears to be the player's preference. 'He doesn't want to come to us, he wants to go to Arsenal.' Strategic Move or Tactical Bluff? Goldbridge suggested that United's sudden involvement may be a calculated attempt to force Arsenal's hand. 'If I was Man United, I would say there's 60, push the price up and make Arsenal have to go higher,' he said, referencing the ongoing stalemate between Arsenal and Sporting. Arsenal have reportedly offered €55 million, with Sporting holding out for more. In his view, the move could be part of a wider transfer strategy: 'Maybe now Rashford's wage is gone, maybe we've just walked in and gone there's 60 million.' He added, 'I think Yárez is worth 60 at minimum. So why don't we just give them 60? Why are we arguing for 55?' He even suggested Manchester United may be used in this saga similarly to how Newcastle once entered the race for a player United ultimately failed to land: 'We might just be being used here like Newcastle we used to get Emmo.' Still Waiting on Reliable Confirmation Goldbridge remained cautious, awaiting updates from trusted names in the transfer scene. 'We need an update from an Ornstein or a Romano and they will be 100 percent all over this trying to find out what's going on,' he said. Yet even amid the caution, the enthusiasm was evident. 'If you let this happen, footballing gods, I won't take the piss out of Arsenal,' Goldbridge joked. He ended the segment playfully, 'I'll have a glass of champas and I'll still run around the garden with my top off as well.' Whether Manchester United are seriously in for Viktor Gyökeres or simply stirring the pot in a transfer window full of strategic plays remains to be seen. But as far as Goldbridge and The United Stand community are concerned, the possibility has more than sparked imaginations.

Report – Jose Mourinho Mad At Fenerbahce For Wasting Time On Pursuing Inter Milan Midfielder
Fenerbahce head coach Jose Mourinho believes his charges are wasting time on pursuing Inter Milan star Hakan Calhanoglu. According to Goal via Fenerbahçe on Calhanoglu, Mourinho unhappy: the negotiation for the Inter player blocks the primary objectives, the Portuguese manager doesn't approve of the club's transfer strategy. It's not that Jose Mourinho didn't want Fenerbahce to sign the 31-year-old midfielder. Indeed, it's the feasibility of the deal that concerns the ex-Nerazzurri boss. Meanwhile, Fenerbahce's pursuit of other primary targets remains on hold. And that's what makes the 'Special One' furious. Jose Mourinho Furious with Fenerbahce for Wasting Time on Inter Milan Ace Hakan Calhanoglu Fenerbahce have emerged as the most realistic contenders to sign Hakan Calhanoglu after Galatasaray's failed offer. However, they've yet to present Inter with a formal bid despite Calhanoglu's phone conversation with Ali Koc. Indeed, the Canaries president reportedly convinced the former AC Milan playmaker to come to Istanbul. Yet, official confirmations have yet to arrive. On the other hand, Inter will only sell their first-team stalwart on their terms. Their €30 million asking price may be beyond the Turkish giants' reach. As for Mourinho, he wants Fenerbahce to focus on signing Milan Skriniar and at least two wingers.
