MEN: United will receive notice if Dortmund move to Sancho replacement
Manchester United will be informed by French side Lyon if Borussia Dortmund make an approach for Memphis Depay, who has been tipped to replace the England star should he complete his move to Old Trafford.
Depay was sold to Lyon in January 2017 by former Reds boss Jose Mourinho after he failed to make a substantial impact in his 53 appearances for the club.
However, wary of the Netherlands international's potential, United inserted a buy-back clause into the deal which gives them first refusal on the 26-year-old should Lyon decide to sell.
That moment may arrive this summer after the Ligue 1 club missed out on European football.
Dortmund have been credited with interest by German outlet Bild but, if they did make an offer for Depay, Lyon would be obligated to inform United.

Manchester United insist there is nothing in reports from Portugal that Wolves striker Raul Jimenez is 'on the way' to the club this summer.
Reports this week had suggested the impressive forward was close to signing for United, but MEN Sport understand the reports are inaccurate and the 29-year-old is not close to joining.
Meanwhile, United are relaxed about their pursuit of Jadon Sancho amid attempts by Borussia Dortmund to pressurise them into making an early bid. A report in Germany this week claimed United submitted a £90million offer for priority target Sancho, but the club denied any bid had been made on the first day of the summer transfer window and Dortmund figures have privately admitted the same.
The MEN understands United believe Dortmund are attempting to arouse interest in Sancho from other clubs to accelerate a deal before their pre-season fixtures start.

During the coronavirus pandemic, the Manchester Evening News has joined forces with the Greater Manchester Mayor’s Charity to raise money for the most vulnerable people in our region.
The Covaid-19 appeal has now passed the £70,000 mark - thanks to your generosity.
All money raised will be used to offer support through local charities. To find out more and donate, visit here.
Here, we speak to Manchester's Women's Aid, one of the charities that benefits from the fund, to find out the vital work they do.
They are often dealing with some of the most vulnerable members of society.
Women fleeing their homes, often to escape violent, abusive partners, would have had nowhere else to turn if not for the invaluable work of Manchester's Women's Aid.
The charity provides support for domestic abuse survivors, including safe and confidential temporary accommodation, play services, advice and support, dedicated case workers and support groups.
Elaine De Fries, from Manchester Women’s Aid, explains how women suffering from, and at risk of, domestic violence have been affected during the coronavirus pandemic.
She said: “The issue that Covid-19 has had is that normally we can speak to women outside their homes where often the perpetrator is present, but that hasn’t been possible.
“The number of high risk cases has massively escalated. Normally 2.3 women a week are killed [in the UK] but it’s at just over three now, so people are trapped in with a perpetrator in a really high pressure situation.”
“Women in extreme poverty have been further trapped, and at much more risk.
“Under normal circumstances, even if the woman is totally isolated and not allowed to leave, at least the perpetrator leaves but the perpetrator can’t leave.”
Despite lockdown measures relaxing, Elaine said people “have less money and things are expensive”.
“We provide PPE but our clients often rely on public transport and are uncertain of booking schedules.
“A lot of women we support don’t have a car and have to use public transport so they are more at risk, especially if they have other underlying health conditions, which a lot of our service users do have.
“And of course, PPE isn’t free.”
She continued: “I would say 60 to 70 per cent of our clients at Manchester Women’s Aid are BAME and there are lots of reasons for that, some of it’s around poverty, lack of access to finances and not having English as a first language.
“BAME people are more at risk from coronavirus, that is accepted, so it’s extremely trying circumstances.
“As restrictions lift our BAME women are confused about whether they should shield as advice is difficult to find in community languages.”
Case Study
One woman Manchester Women’s Aid helped had moved to supported accommodation outside Manchester with her one-year-old daughter but faced difficulties as a result of lockdown restrictions.
Her alleged perpetrator was an ex-intimate partner, and she had experienced physical and sexual abuse.
Lockdown restrictions had meant she was unable to meet her sister, who she has a close relationship with, as often she would like.
She also wanted to meet new people through groups as she said she felt isolated at times, but understood the difficulty of attending community groups during the pandemic.
Covaid-19 - helping those who need it most in Greater Manchester The coronavirus outbreak has left many people across Greater Manchester struggling for access to food, basics and other support. Many of them are self-isolating, often in fragile health and alone. Public services have been working hard to find and help them, but we know they are over-stretched and working round the clock. So the Manchester Evening News and the Greater Manchester Mayor's Charity have launched Covaid-19 - a fundraiser aimed at supporting those who most need help, from elderly people with no support network to homeless families living in hotels. The money will be distributed via the mayor of Greater Manchester's charity. You can donate by visiting our JustGiving page here.
The woman was also concerned her daughter’s social development may be delayed due to lack of interaction with others under Covid-19 restrictions.
The woman also felt she would feel more socially integrated if she lived in Manchester, so the charity supported her to access her details and spoke to her about the process of bidding on properties.
As part of Women’s Aid’s First 1,000 Days service, which supports parents of children from conception to 2-years-old, the charity offered weekly emotional support sessions aiming to reduce social isolation.
Women’s Aid were able to give her emotional support on the telephone, resources for child support and mother baby bonding and housing support.
How you can donate
All money raised through Covaid-19 will be used to support the region’s most vulnerable people, including elderly people with no support network, people with health conditions, those fleeing domestic violence, rough sleepers, people struggling with caring for others, workers who have lost their jobs and families pushed onto the breadline.
To find out more and donate, visit here.
Any amount you can spare, no matter how big or small, is helping to make a huge difference.
All the money raised will be distributed via the mayor of Greater Manchester Mayor’s charity.

A centre-back spot is up for grabs with Sergio Ramos suspended after his red card in the first leg, although there was no room in either XI for Gareth Bale.

Adam Repton made his neighbours lives a 'misery'.
They even created a petition, signed by about 100 people, for him to be removed from his home.
Over a number of months, Repton, 18, committed a catalogue of crimes including theft, criminal damage and burglary along with other youths.
One neighbour said Repton's behaviour had affected their quality of life.

In April at Manchester Crown Court, Repton was sentenced to two years in prison, suspended for two years.
The judge said the seven months Repton spent on remand in prison before he was sentenced had a 'considerable effect' on the defendant, who he had decided to give a 'chance'.

The crimes included four robberies in which a knife, machete or hammer were used.
The victim of one incident - a disabled man - considered ending his own life.
Another victim, a Deliveroo rider who sought refuge in the UK, now wants to leave the country.

themanchestereveningnews--2020-08-01--The sights and sounds we're missing from Man City matchdays

A midweek Premier League game against West Ham in mid-February certainly did n't feel particularly significant at the time .
But little did Manchester City fans know that that would be the last time they stepped foot in the Etihad Stadium to watch their beloved Blues in action for many months .
The coronavirus pandemic saw the game forced to take a three month hiatus before it returned behind closed doors in June .
For match-going fans of all clubs , watching games in empty stadiums on the sofa has been a big culture shift for many loyal Blues for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was a big part of their life .

A midweek Premier League game against West Ham in mid-February certainly didn't feel particularly significant at the time.
But little did Manchester City fans know that that would be the last time they stepped foot in the Etihad Stadium to watch their beloved Blues in action for many months.
The coronavirus pandemic saw the game forced to take a three month hiatus before it returned behind closed doors in June.
For match-going fans of all clubs, watching games in empty stadiums on the sofa has been a big culture shift for many loyal Blues for whom a day out of the match was a big part of their life.

And with pilots of larger crowds in sports venues postponed for now, it looks like we might be waiting even longer to get back through the turnstiles.
So what better time to remind ourselves of some the sights and sounds that we have been missing.
1) Seeing your mates
The match isn't just about a game of football, it's much more than that. It's a social occasion, and the highlight of the week.
For many, it's also where they meet up with friends and family. For me, it's my dad, who I've gone to the match with since the age of eight. And the guaranteed fortnightly meet-up was where we'd have a proper chat and catch up on each others' lives.
Others have groups of pals they met through football or who they only really see at games.
Lockdown and games behind closed doors have kept many of these friendship groups apart, and they'll relish the day they're allowed to hang out together at the match again.

2) A pre-match pint
Everyone has their own routine, but for a lot of Blues, this almost always involves a pint before the game.
In town the likes of the Lower Turks Head, The Hare and Hounds, The Crown and Anchor and The Millstone in the Northern Quarter are all popular haunts.
Closer to the ground, Mary Ds, with its DJ working fans into a frenzy in its cavernous back room, and The Townley and Corner Shop, where fans huddle inside and out, all get packed to the rafters.
There always seems to be the smell of stale beer in the air. The rabble of conversation is only interrupted when everyone tries to grab a glance at a TV screen or listen in as someone reads out the starting line-up from their phone, when it's announced an hour before kick-off.
The exodus from the pub begins around half an hour before kick-off, but there are always some hardy drinkers still there at 2.55pm or 7.40pm trying to squeeze in one last pint.

3) Half and half scarves
The buzz and anticipation of the walk to the ground is now pretty much always pierced by someone complaining about half and half scarves.
Every game without fail, the sellers are on positioned on the pavements of Ashton New Road outside the ground holding up scarves, half sky blue and half the colour of whoever they happen to be playing with the date underneath.
Deriding them has almost become a tradition in itself. The moans always either consist of people saying 'who will buy that?' if it is a 'lesser' opponent, or getting irate at one being produced at all, when it's a rival such as United or Liverpool.
4) Taking your seat
Beefed up security including metal detecting wands and bag searches mean you can now spend longer in the queue waiting to get in the ground.
But that makes it just that bit more satisfying when you finally reach the front, see the green light flash and hear that unmistakable buzzing noise as your card is accepted in the reader and you push your way through the turnstile.
The first time is magical but even regular match-goers never get bored of catching that first glint of green as you climb the stairs, the pitch comes into view, and you mutter 'excuse me' as you shuffle down the aisle and fold down your seat.

5) Tales of away days
After sitting down there are always handshakes and hellos from the people who sit around you.
Sometimes you may not even know their name, but you have known them for years and it is a unique bond, as you probably jumped on their back or randomly hugged them after a last minute winner on more than one occasion.
Conversation almost always turns to away games. 'Did you go last week?' one person will ask if the game has followed an away trip, with people regaling each other tales of how they got to Southampton, Swansea or Stoke, where they drank beforehand and any escapades that followed.
If there is an upcoming Euorpean away trip, there are normally tales of how people have managed to avoid sky high air fares by flying via Dublin or Amsterdam or how they are stopping off in some far flung destination as a way of getting to the game.

6) Right Here Right Now/Blue Moon
At big games the atmosphere in the ground, with Blues trying to drown out the away fans, already has you on tenterhooks.
But no matter the match, the first chimes of Right Here Right Now always get you in the mood. The Fatboy Slim song was first used during the Maine Road days and has stuck around.
Fans say it always gets them pumped as the players walk out of the tunnel and the announcer booms 'Please welcome our visitors and YOUR Manchester City.....' over the top of it.
As the captains toss the coin there is the first, but by no means last, chorus of Blue Moon which speeds up into fast clapping and a roar of 'Come on Ciiiiitttyy' from someone at the back of the stand as the game kicks off.
7) Funny chants
The rowdier bits of the ground never stop singing with Blue Moon, We're Not Really Here, Super City or the City version of Hey Jude all getting dozens of airings, along with some more cult favourites such as those paying homage to former striker Edin Dzeko.
But there are always one or two songs that prick your ears up and make you chuckle, whether it's 'you should have gone Christmas shopping' around festive games, gallows humour from away fans singing 'can we play you every week' whilst 4-0 down, or those in the South Stand singing 'you're not famous anymore' to what was the Kippax in the Maine Road days.

9) Chicken Balti Pies
All the usual match day fayre of burgers, chips and the like are available at the kiosks on the concourse.
But for some reason City fans have taken the Chicken Balti pie, a traditional pastry crust with a dollop of chicken curry inside, to their hearts over the years.
A book by City fan Steve Mingle reflecting on his 37 years watching the Blues released in 2011 was entitled "Lows, Highs and Balti Pies: Manchester City Ruined My Diet."
There was uproar when they temporarily disappeared from the menu several years ago and they always seem to run out the quickest.
There's often the tension of seeing just one or two in the heated glass cabinet behind the counter, as you stand at the back of the queue praying no one else asks for one and that it's got your name on, so you can devour it with a plastic fork.
10) Roll With It
Oasis are synonymous with City and although Wonderwall seems to be the players' favourite song, being blasted in the dressing room after memorable wins, it is another hit from the Burnage boys which has now taken on extra symbolism for many fans.
Roll With It is always played at the final whistle, and the fuzzy guitar riff and first drum beats of the 1995 song soundtrack the fist bumps and handshakes which precede everyone dashing for exits.
That's if they haven't gone already - early leavers being a bugbear for those who always stay to the end and then normally spend most of injury time grumbling about them.
As Liam Gallagher sings 'you gotta be who you be if you're coming with me', everyone pushes onto the stairwells or clambers over rows of seats so they can go and catch a packed tram, try to beat the traffic or simply to go and have that celebratory pint and look forward to doing it all again in two weeks' time.
