6pm UPDATE: Antonio Valencia to DC United?

"They have the possession and the right combinations so if they had that type of player with that turn of pace then ht could help take this DC team to the next level."

Eden Hazard is a top Real Madrid transfer target for the summer. And fresh reports claim the La Liga giants are willing to offer Chelsea a pick of two players in order to pull off a blockbuster summer transfer.

4pm UPDATE: Man Utd warned off Philippe Coutinho
Manchester United have been told to avoid signing Barcelona star Philippe Coutinho this summer by Danny Murphy.
"While the Old Trafford tourists will turn up to see Messi and the boo-boys will have Luis Suarez in their sights, I'll be interested to see what impact Philippe Coutinho has," he wrote in his Daily Mail column.
"Coutinho has been linked with a move to United because his transfer from Liverpool hasn't worked out as well as expected.
"My view is United have more pressing priorities than the Brazilian, namely a midfield playmaker to finally replace Michael Carrick and a defensive leader in the mould of Virgil van Dijk - maybe Toby Alderweireld."
