6pm UPDATE: Antonio Valencia to DC United?
MLS expert Bobby Warshaw thinks Antonio Valencia could link up with Wayne Rooney at DC United.
"It would be awesome and he would be the right kind of guy for that team – DC really could use a little bit more pace out wide," Warshaw said.
"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."

5.30pm UPDATE: Chelsea to be offered two stars by Real Madrid
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.

The Daily Mail say Real are willing to offer the Blues a pick of two players - should their transfer ban be overturned.
Real are willing to offer Chelsea the chance to sign Gareth Bale.
Bale has endured a torrid campaign so far this season and, with Zinedine Zidane now back in charge, could be offloaded.
And Real will reportedly also offer Chelsea the chance to secure the signature of James Rodriguez.
The Colombia international has spent the last two years on loan at Bayern Munich.

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."
