There has been a flowing conversation, and there is conviction that the club will be an even greater force in the years to come under Arteta's guidance.

The 42-year-old's current terms are up in 2025, but there has been no rush from his side or the club's in boxing off a new deal as there in total alignment in vision, and so no pressure to force negotiations.

'4 major clubs eye Sancho'

Four major clubs could be amongst a string of teams ready to pursue Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho in the next fortnight.

Reported interest from Paris Saint-Germain in the 24-year-old Englishman is perhaps the most surprising.

Chelsea and Juventus are also said to be monitoring the situation.

And it's claimed Sancho's old club Borussia Dortmund aren't out of the running - despite initial suggestions he'd be too expensive for the Germans.

Old Trafford manager Erik ten Hag has insisted his issues with the wideman are in the past.

But Sancho didn't make the cut for the season-opening 1-0 Prem win over Fulham last Friday.

And he's a decent tip to depart before the end of the transfer window.
