Guehi EXCLUSIVE
Manchester United have recieved a boost in their persuit of Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi.
Palace are putting Valencia centre-back Cristhian Mosquera on their list to replace their skipper, SunSport can exclusively reveal.
Mosquera, 19, is already a regular in LaLiga and catching the eye despite his club’s indifferent season.
The strong defender, who is also good on the ball, was checked out by Palace last week as they prepare for Guehi to move on for a huge fee.
The nine-cap Englishman, 23, is likely to leave the Eagles next summer, with Manchester United and Arsenal keen.
But if a major bid comes in during next month’s transfer window they could have to scramble to find someone new as a replacement.

Eagle-eyed Man Utd fans spot Erik ten Hag’s stunned full-time reaction to Bournemouth loss
Fans spotted Erik ten Hag’s stunned full-time reaction after Manchester United’s dismal defeat to Bournemouth.
The Cherries won their first-ever game at Old Trafford in style as they smashed three goals past Andre Onana.
Dominic Solanke, Philip Billing and Marcos Senesi were all on target as United failed to build on their impressive midweek win over Chelsea.
And Ten Hag seemed to particularly take the defeat hard.
Fans were left gobsmacked as video captured at the full-time whistle showed Ten Hag standing mournfully on the sideline.
As people moved around him, the Dutchman stared coldly at the ground without budging a muscle.
His isolate look prompted United players to begin walking towards fans to apologise for their performance.
And despite finally moving from his spot, Ten Hag continued to appear forlorn while trudging across the pitch.
Red Devils fans certainly weren’t impressed with their manager’s body language.

Man Utd make City rival Kalvin Phillips top transfer target
Kalvin Phillips is at the top of Manchester United’s summer shopping list, SunSport can exclusively reveal.
The England international is heading for the exit at the Etihad with Pep Guardiola last week admitting he can’t see a place for him in his City team.
But across the city, United insiders say Erik Ten Hag is a “big fan” and that Phillips is the “perfect fit” for the new direction he wants to head in.
SunSport’s source said: “United are watching the situation with Phillips very carefully.
"He is likely to go out on loan in January, but he will then be looking for a permanent switch in the summer, and Ten Hag wants to be right at the front of the queue.
“He is a fan of the way Phillips plays, and thinks his style is perfectly suited to United and to the philosophy he is trying to instil in the group.
“Plus, the new investors want the club to focus on investing in and developing English players, and Phillips still remains one of the best English players in the Premier League.
"It wouldn’t be the first time a player has moved from City to United, but it’s always controversial.”

Utd warned against Werner
Ruud Gullit has warned Man Utd off signing Chelsea flop Timo Werner.
I'm not sure if the reports of Timo Werner joining Manchester United are true," Gullit told Gambling Zone.
"Then again, it would be a matter of taking a player who wasn't good enough at one of your rivals. I can't imagine he'd be United's first choice!
"It's all a bit strange hearing these reports. Some of them involve good players, but others involve players at the end of their careers. You need to look at players at their peak. We already saw Werner at Chelsea – he couldn't do it. I think it's a risk, and I don't think it's happening."

Owen's view
Michael Owen believes things need to change at Old Trafford after a crushing loss to Bournemouth.
He wrote on X: "I just can’t see any positives for @ManUtd at present. Knocked out of the cup, about to go out of The Champions League at the group stage, no chance of winning the league, average signings, shocking performances, manager falling out with players, no identity on the pitch, poor team selections…..
"Things need to change as this team is going nowhere.
"Oh, and up next is Bayern Munich followed by a trip to Anfield."

Unwanted history
Gary Lineker left fans wondering if Erik Ten Hag will make a shocking piece of history after Bournemouth humiliated Manchester United 3-0.
Lineker asked, "Has anyone ever won manager of the month and lost their job in the same weekend?" after the Cherries' first ever Old Trafford win.
Harry Maguire, who won the player gong for November, was in a United side booed off – just three days after beating Chelsea 2-1.
And although the Red Devils remain sixth in the Premier League, Ten Hag admits he's staggered by their alarming rollercoaster of standards.
The Dutchman, who picked up the manager's prize for November after wins against Fulham, Luton and Everton, said: “I have to take responsibility. We are really inconsistent.
“I understand fans are disappointed, frustrated. We all are but we should do better and we have show it every game, not to have so big levels from one game to another."

Fernandes banned
Bruno Fernandes will miss Manchester United’s next league game against Liverpool through suspension.
But some fans joked the Red Devil purposefully got himself banned as he “doesn’t want to be on the receiving end of another 7-0.”
Liverpool ran riot against United in March, with Mo Salah’s brace confirming his status as the club’s all-time record Premier League scorer.
Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez and Roberto Firmino were also on target in the rout.
And Liverpool now eagerly await United’s return to Anfield next weekend after moving top of the table with a late win at Crystal Palace.

Ten Hag tears into his players
Erik ten Hag has torn into his Manchester United players following their humiliating defeat to Bournemouth.
He said: "You have to be at your best in every game, starting with focus.
"When you start like we did, you get killed. They are good opponents but we have to do better.
"We know we are able to do it, we showed it in the week. We have to leave this behind but we have to talk about it.
"You need consistency, we can play a very good game against many opponents, we are able to do it but you have to do it every third day.
"Get it right and the demands are of a certain standard. We have to go to higher standards to deliver it every third day."
