Manchester City transfer news: Why Pep Guardiola may need to sell Gabriel Jesus to land Atletico Madrid star Rodrigo
Manchester City may need to sell Gabriel Jesus to land Atletico Madrid’s 61million-rated star Rodrigo, according to reports.City have emerged as the favourites to sign the 22-year-old holding midfielder, but Atletico are keen on Jesusas a replacement for the departing Antoine Griezmann.It could mean the La Liga giants demand the Brazilian striker comes as part of any deal for their talented Spaniard.Getty2Rodrigo has made 48 appearances in his debut season at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium and has been compared to Barcelona midfield maestro Sergio Busquets.Guardiola is keen to sign another holding midfielder to compete with Fernandinho, who missed the final four games of the season with a knee injury.With Griezmann set to join Barcelona in a 104million deal, Atletico will have funds to spend and The Sun claim they have identified Jesus as an ideal replacement.Getty2Despite playing second fiddle to Sergio Aguero in the Premier League and Champions League, Jesus netted 21 goals in the 2018/19 season.Most of his playing time came in domestic cup competitions and he started and scored in Manchester City’s 6-0 thrashing of Watford in Saturdays FA Cup final to win a historic treble.  Jesus, a 27million signing from Palmeiras, has netted 45 goals in 100 appearances since making his City debut in January 2017.Meanwhile, Benfica are reportedly thinking of almost doubling Joao Felixs 100million release clause as interest in the wonderkid increases.City, Barcelona and Real Madrid have been linked with a move for the 19-year-old, who scored 15 league goals to help Benfica win a 37th Primeira Liga title after finishing two points ahead of Porto.Felix, an attacking midfielder, became the youngest player to score a hat-trick in the Europa League in a 4-2 win over Frankfurt last month.

Manchester United legend Roy Keane lays into Paul Pogba as Real Madrid transfer speculation intensifies
Roy Keane has attacked Paul Pogba and questioned his commitment to Manchester United.The World Cup winner has endured a tumultuous season, with Jose Mourinho seemingly trying to force him out of Old Trafford.2When Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was appointed, the France international enjoyed a startling upturn in form and seemed to be justifying his 89million price tag.But rumours of a rift between the Norwegian and his talisman began to surface and Pogba himself admitted it would be a dream to play for Los Blancos.And Keane, who was no stranger to controversy during his time in Uniteds midfield, does not believe the 26-year-old can be trusted.I wouldnt believe a word he says, Keane said. Theres no meaning, no meaning behind it.2I dont even think he believed what he was saying there.“He is a big problem, no doubt about it.”Youve got to run back when youre defending!He said it got a bit heated after the game against Everton; I heard they were actually throwing their hair gel at each other. The former Republic of Ireland star did not limit the scathing assessments to just one Manchester United player, instead attacking the whole squad.He insisted the current crop of players would throw Ole Gunnar Solskjaer under the bus in the same way they did to predecessor Mourinho in a passionate rant before the game.

"I wouldn't believe a word he says!"Roy Keane did NOT hold back when asked for his opinion on Paul Pogba pic.twitter.com/GuaGUDqhjF— Soccer AM (@SoccerAM) April 24, 2019

Keane was speaking ahead of United’s derby clash with Manchester City, which ended in a 2-0 defeat for the Red Devils at Old Trafford.Second-half goals from Bernardo Silva and Leroy Sane took City back to the top of the league, one point clear of Liverpool with three games left to play, and highlighted the gulf in class between United and the Premier League leaders.“I reckon the City players couldn’t believe how easy it was tonight, in a derby game,” was Keane’s post-match assessment.“City were very good but it was an easy night for them. They are sitting in the dressing room and cant believe how comfortable it was.“I dont know what happened at half time. They never got going and City seemed sharper in the second half.“Even the first goal, players not closing players down. We spoke about the basics but I reckon the City players couldnt believe how easy it was in a derby game.“You have to put demands on players and I think it was an easy night.”

Alternative Premier League table after 31 games, based on expected goals
Even if the FA Cup quarter-finals decimated the Premier League fixture list we still got an enthralling weekend of action.Liverpool returned to the top of the table with a late win over Fulham while, with the chance to put themselves within one point of third sport, Chelsea blew it and lost 2-0 to Everton at Goodison Park.9The Blues weren’t at the races with only one really high quality chance during the game when Gonzalo Higuain saw his shot block on the right of the six-yard box.Meanwhile, West Ham and Huddersfield Town played out a seven-goal thriller with the Hammers winning 4-3, perhaps with a tinge of fortune, as they only created shots with an expected goals value of just 1.88 – and that includes Mark Noble’s penalty.But how would the Premier League table look if it was based on results calculated by ‘Expected Goals’? Here at talkSPORT.com were always keeping an eye onUnderstat.com to see how clubs are performing based on their xG stats.Find out how the stats believe the Premier League SHOULD be shaping up below

What is expected goals?

• Expected goals (xG) is a statistic used to work out how many goals should be scored in a match.
• Every single shot is awarded an xG value based on the difficulty of the attempt, with factors including distance from goal, type of shot and number of defenders present affecting the value.
• The higher the xG of a particular shot, the more likely a goal should be scored from that shot.
• The xG value of every shot in a game is then used to calculate the expected goals in a particular match.

‘There are a few complications’ – Liverpool and starlet Herbie Kane must iron out issues before Doncaster loan can be extended
Liverpool and starlet Herbie Kane have ‘a few complications’ to iron out before he can extend his loan deal with Doncaster Rovers, it has been revealed.The young midfielder, 20, is performing superbly in his first campaign at a senior level, thrilling fans at the Keepmoat Stadium.2Kane is highly rated by the Reds and has been given the chance to prove himself and he’s excelling so far in 22 appearances across all competitions.He’s also netted four times in his last four games as hype begins to build around his performances.Doncaster wish to extend his time at the club, which Liverpool have agreed to butRovers manager Grant McCann has admitted there are some issues between the player and his parent club.2McCann said, as reported by the Yorkshire Post: There are a few complications that it is not right for me to speak about. It is between Herbies representatives and Liverpool over a contract.It is nothing to do with Doncaster Rovers. It is not about we cannot pay this. We have already agreed with Liverpool what we can pay and they are happy with it. Once that gets resolved, hopefully Herbie will sign here for the rest of the season. He loves it here.Liverpool want to keep him here and trust us with him and I am sure they can see in his development that he is being coached in the right way and playing in a formation he is used to at Liverpool.
