LONDON • Manchester United are reportedly holding further talks with Crystal Palace aimed at agreeing a fee for Aaron Wan-Bissaka, after the right-back indicated his preference would be a move to Old Trafford.

An opening bid for the England Under-21 international that would have been worth in excess of £40 million (S$69 million) was rejected earlier this month. The London club are believed to be seeking a fee of at least £50 million.

Semenya to skip 800m in Morocco

PARIS • Caster Semenya will not run her specialist 800m distance in the Diamond League meeting in Rabat, Morocco, today despite having received an invitation to do so.

She was cleared to take part after Switzerland's top court rejected a request by the International Association of Athletics Federations to reimpose rules obliging her to lower her testosterone levels before competing in events from 400m to a mile.

The Morocco event initially refused to allow the South African to take part, but, on Friday, they confirmed that an invitation was sent. Organiser Alain Blondel, however, said that Semenya is "unable to organise her schedule to come to Rabat".
