Bayern Munich manager explains why Manchester United should sign Kai Havertz

The 20-year-old is expected to attract plenty of transfer interest in the summer window having netted 15 goals and notched 8 assists while playing as an attacking midfielder this season.
Bayern Munich remain the favourites to sign Havertz should he become available, while MEN Sport revealed this week the youngster sees a move to the Premier League as a 'very realistic' possibility.
"I think very few coaches wouldn't want to have Kai Havertz in their team," the Bayern manager said.
"He has developed enormously at Leverkusen. He moves very well between the lines, is quite fast, safe on the ball and is good at finding space.

Solskjaer drops hint over Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford Manchester United role after fixture restart
Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has dropped a hint that Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford may not be thrown into Premier League action straight away.
Both players have been out of action due to injuries this season, with the duo using the unexpected break to fight their ways back to fitness.
“Well, we hope everybody’s going to be ready for the first game,” he told the club site.
“We’ve had time out so I don’t think we can expect that those lads who’ve missed lots of the football can last the full game.”
He added: “But now the rules have changed, we can use five subs and have nine on the bench. I think that’s helpful because footballers, after being out for so long, going into competitive games will be a challenge for them and we have to look after them injury-wise and fitness-wise,” he added.
“We can’t just flog one player and say to them, ‘you play every game and every minute’ because it might be a period when we have to rotate quite often.”

“ I understand the fire that has been lit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the death of George Floyd - and with good reason .
It is extremely difficult to maintain social distancing and keep a large gathering of people safe in the city centre .

Man City striker Gabriel Jesus: It's like racist people have no brains
Gabriel Jesus wants people to be educated on why the Black Lives Matter sentiment is important in order to make a more peaceful world.
The death of George Floyd last week, who died in Minneapolis after a police officer knelt on his neck, has sparked protests across the world as people want to make their voices heard.
For his part, Jesus believes in peaceful protests and thinks that social media can be used as a tool for positivity to educate those that don't see the problem that exists.
"Racism isn’t a problem that only started in recent days and it isn’t normal, so people do feel that they have had enough, and they have exploded," he said.
"I’m against violence or any sort of violent protest. I’m all in favour of peaceful protests in order to say 'no to racism' and whenever we say 'Black Lives Matter', we should also read it correctly and understand the meaning behind it. We aren’t saying that other lives don’t matter, but we are saying that the lives of black people who feel racism, matter.
"We can’t generalise it. Not everyone is racist, the majority aren’t, but lots of people are and it’s like they haven’t got brains.
"So, when we use that sentence it’s because we know what it is to be a victim of racism. It is painful to feel it.
“I have suffered a couple of times. I’ve managed to elevate myself [above it]. On one occasion, I was in Uruguay whilst competing for the Libertadores Cup.
"One of the pictures I’ve recently posted is because I’m black and I’m from a favela and I was able to learn from those experiences, but everyone reacts and feels differently and I’ve got my way.
"Social media is very important these days, but the problem is that sometimes we don’t respect each other’s opinions or views and that can create a bigger problem or hate.
"I know it is difficult to speak about peace, but if we were to follow our lives based on peace, it would be a lot better.”
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang gives an update on Arsenal training ahead of Man City clash
Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has said that he and his Gunners’ teammates are in good condition ahead of the Premier League clash against Manchester City.
City host Mikel Arteta’s side on Wednesday, June 17, the opening day of the restart of the Premier League.
"I don’t know if it will be harder or easier [behind closed doors]," Aubameyang said of the new circumstances during the club's 'Arsenal Together' charity fundraising event .
“But the only thing for sure I know is that they are a great team and it will be hard for sure, we don’t expect it to be easier because of no fans in the stadium.
"We will try our best and the positive thing that I saw is that all the players in our team are in shape and are feeling well, with a lot of power and a lot of freshness.
"They want to play, everybody is just waiting for the referee to whistle."

It was expected that the 24-year-old would join Liverpool this summer with manager Jurgen Klopp being a massive fan but it seems that the Reds pulled out of the deal after refusing to meet his release clause.
According to The Athletic, Liverpool dropping their interest gave United the opportunity to re-open negotiations for Werner, who Solskjaer met in Berlin in February.
However, it's claimed that United would only meet the German's release clause if they could find a buyer for Pogba. Chelsea had no such restrictions and it now seems certain that he will move to Stamford Bridge this summer.
Meanwhile, Roma remain optimistic they will be able to conclude a deal to sign Chris Smalling next season, according to Il Tempo.
The United centre-back has enjoyed a career renascence in Rome and has seen himself become one of Roma's most important players with a string of great performances at the back.
Roma's financial situation means they have been unable to reach United's valuation of the defender this summer, but it is reported they have instead proposed another season-long loan for £3m with a £13m obligation to buy next summer.

`` Just asked @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he said .
An antibody test can detect if a person has had coronavirus before and has since recovered .

If you receive a positive antibody result it does n't mean someone is immune , or that they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ others .
It also does not mean that they can ignore social distancing measures .

themanchestereveningnews--2020-06-06--What clubbing could soon look like in Manchester

Manchester clubbers could be asked to take a coronavirus test before entering a venue in the future as the city ’ s hospitality scene prepares to reopen .
Taking punters ’ temperatures and the use of hand sanitiser will also play a part in the battle to keep coronavirus at bay once the lockdown measures for bars , clubs and restaurants lift on July 4 .
Sacha Lord , the city ’ s night time economy adviser , told the Manchester Evening News that while nothing is set in stone , he hopes measures such as this will allow the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which has seen thousands of employees furloughed since lockdown was announced on March 23 .
Sacha , who also heads up Parklife and the Warehouse Project , said : “ People , especially young people , are aching to go out .
We have seen illegal raves happening already .
We need to plan opening clubs .
“ The problem we have is , there is no guidance from the government - they are saying July 4 to open , but it takes three weeks to open a venue after you have organised @ @ @ @ @ @ @ They ’ re cutting it all a bit fine .
“ With nightclubs , there ’ s been discussions about an initiative where people buy tickets for an event and they get a text to confirm their entry on condition they get a Covid-19 test .
“ When they get the result it pings on their phone and you show that upon entry .
On top of that there will be temperature checks and hand sanitiser available .
“ This could be a way to get things to recover.
” Sacha also hopes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ venues to open outdoor areas so that the two metre rule is possible for customers , without the current red tape attached to obtaining a licence from the council , which takes 28 days to process and can attract objections .
As no traffic zones pop up across the city , such as the section of Deansgate between King Street West and Blackfriars Street and Thomas Street in Northern Quarter , this perhaps offers breathing space for small venues needing outside overspill space .
One of the ways that Greater Manchester has been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is through United We Stream , which supports the region 's restaurants , bars , music venues and other cultural establishments that have been hit by lockdown .
Nearly £400,000 has been raised by Manchester 's virtual nightlife platform .
The online programme asks people to donate and buy a ‘ virtual ticket ’ to the cause , with DJs , comedians and musicians entertaining the masses .
But while this has been an uplifting antidote to venue closures for people stuck at home , Sacha says that this is not the answer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ With United We Stream , people are asking , is this the future ?
People watching events on Zoom ?
“ But that is not the answer .
People complain about it when it happens but really they love going to a sweaty club or a festival and waiting hours for the toilet .
It ’ s part of the experience.
” Elsewhere , local DJs have been helping to ease the boredom by putting on live shows on Facebook so that people can enjoy a rave in the comfort of their own @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Coast2Coast , entertained Ancoats for weeks at the height of lockdown from a balcony in the Royal Mills building .
A DJ of 17 years , Nkosi , 34 , has seen Manchester , and many other locations across the world , from all angles - intimate 100 capacity venues to the bigger arenas hosting thousands of clubbers .
His first performance , which included smoke machines and lights , was organised and live streamed by AncoatsPlus .
Nkosi said : “ I can ’ t believe how big it became - one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people , which is more than you ’ d ever get in a club - it ’ s like playing at a football stadium.
” Despite its success , Nkosi - now a professional and experienced wedding , party and event DJ - says it is not as easy as it looks .
He explained : “ With live streams people don ’ t realise but there are so many rules you need to follow - you can ’ t just wing it .
A lot of planning goes into it so that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ breached any licencing laws for example .
“ I ’ ve been thinking about how things will change , whether to get a studio for live streams for example as this can ’ t be done long term from home .
“ One thing I think needs to happen is for DJs to work together .
If someone wants a service and it ’ s not quite your thing , you would say , I have the perfect person for that , and offer up an alternative contact .
“ Like a ‘ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ everyone helped one another.
” Nkosi , who lives with his wife Kym and their son Kassius , explained that his rooftop raves ended following the relaxing of lockdown measures last month .
The dad-of-one has since seen a rise in the number of people congregating around the Cotton Square area .
“ I felt like if I carried on doing it , I would be responsible for people congregating on the street and not social distancing , ” he explained .
“ If it was just the neighbours on the square it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ attracts a lot of visitors from elsewhere , and I don ’ t want to encourage that .

One of the ways that Greater Manchester has been helping its hospitality sector through the crisis is through United We Stream, which supports the region's restaurants, bars, music venues and other cultural establishments that have been hit by lockdown.

Nearly £400,000 has been raised by Manchester's virtual nightlife platform.
The online programme asks people to donate and buy a ‘virtual ticket’ to the cause, with DJs, comedians and musicians entertaining the masses.
But while this has been an uplifting antidote to venue closures for people stuck at home, Sacha says that this is not the answer long term.
Sacha said: “With United We Stream, people are asking, is this the future? People watching events on Zoom?
“But that is not the answer. People complain about it when it happens but really they love going to a sweaty club or a festival and waiting hours for the toilet. It’s part of the experience.”

Elsewhere, local DJs have been helping to ease the boredom by putting on live shows on Facebook so that people can enjoy a rave in the comfort of their own homes.
Nkosi Inniss, aka DJ Coast2Coast, entertained Ancoats for weeks at the height of lockdown from a balcony in the Royal Mills building.
A DJ of 17 years, Nkosi, 34, has seen Manchester, and many other locations across the world, from all angles - intimate 100 capacity venues to the bigger arenas hosting thousands of clubbers.
His first performance, which included smoke machines and lights, was organised and live streamed by AncoatsPlus.
Nkosi said: “I can’t believe how big it became - one of the sets was watched by 65,000 people, which is more than you’d ever get in a club - it’s like playing at a football stadium.”
Despite its success, Nkosi - now a professional and experienced wedding, party and event DJ - says it is not as easy as it looks.

He explained: “With live streams people don’t realise but there are so many rules you need to follow - you can’t just wing it. A lot of planning goes into it so that Facebook is happy that I have not breached any licencing laws for example.
“I’ve been thinking about how things will change, whether to get a studio for live streams for example as this can’t be done long term from home.
“One thing I think needs to happen is for DJs to work together. If someone wants a service and it’s not quite your thing, you would say, I have the perfect person for that, and offer up an alternative contact.
“Like a ‘friendchise’ - it would work if everyone helped one another.”
Nkosi, who lives with his wife Kym and their son Kassius, explained that his rooftop raves ended following the relaxing of lockdown measures last month.
The dad-of-one has since seen a rise in the number of people congregating around the Cotton Square area.
“I felt like if I carried on doing it, I would be responsible for people congregating on the street and not social distancing,” he explained.
“If it was just the neighbours on the square it would be fine, but the area attracts a lot of visitors from elsewhere, and I don’t want to encourage that.”

“There’s never regrets," he told United legend Rio Ferdinand’s FIVE programme .
“I met so many amazing players that I watched from young, you were there, Giggsy [Ryan Giggs] was there, Rooney was there, Van Persie was there, so many players that I’ve managed to learn from. So there’s never regrets.

"It's a huge honour, he's a hero and a national treasure. I never thought I'd ever paint a 'Sir' either! It's a lot of pressure though, it's scary."
Captain Tom captured the nation's hearts with his lockdown aim of raising £1,000 for the NHS by walking 100 laps of his garden.
Since then, the 100-year-old Second World War veteran has raised more than £32 million, been knighted, promoted to Honorary Colonel, given the Freedom of the City of London, and won a Pride of Britain Award.
Stuart, who grew up in Cheadle Hulme but has lived in Ramsbottom for the past 25 years, works as a wedding painter, painting people during their wedding breakfasts.
The 45-year-old added: "I've been painting ever since I was a kid but it's all come to fruition professionally in the past few years.
"My role is very unusual and unique but I really enjoy it."
