Man Utd transfer news LIVE: Barcelona eye Greenwood EXCLUSIVE, United ‘line-up £26m Amrabat & Casemiro alternative’

Sancho 'killing own career'

Mario Melchiot fears Jadon Sancho is his own worst enemy.

The winger has not featured since falling out with Erik ten Hag in September.

Melchiot said: “He’s killing his own career, he’s not killing the team.”

Red loan ranger Devils

United may have to shop in the loan market this winter due to FFP regulations, according to reports.

The club spent around £180m in the summer on Andre Onana, Mason Mount, Rasmus Hojlund and Altay Bayindir with Sofyan Amrabat and Sergio Reguilon joining on loan.

Unless finances are raised by selling players - United could be restricted to cheap deals, claim Sky Sports.

Fofana lined up by United

Man Utd are ready to make an offer for French international and Monaco midfielder Youssouf Fofana, according to reports.

According to Caught Offside, the Red Devils are monitoring Fofana with a view to launching a £26m bid.

Casemiro could be sold in January to make way for him and Sofyan Amrabat has failed to make a strong impression.

Diall tone for ambitious Ipswich

Ipswich Town are eyeing a loan move for Amad Diallo.

The winger is set to return from injury next month and Man Utd are keen for him to get minutes.

Ex-Old Trafford coach Kieran McKenna knows Diallo well and believes he can help Ipswich push for promotion.

But there could also be interest from the Ivorian's former loan side Sunderland.

Greenwood in Barca XI

Barcelona want to sign Mason Greenwood from Man United.

And he would likely slot straight in on the right side of Xavi's attack should a move be completed.

That would see him line up in attack with Robert Lewandowski.

And it could spell the end of Raphinha's Nou Camp career.

'We can beat anyone'

Erik ten Hag believes Man Utd are moving in the right direction after securing a hard-earned point against Liverpool and a fantastic comeback win over Aston Villa.

The boss said: "Not many teams can deal with as many setbacks we had.

"The mumber of points we are not satisfied with, but you have to be pleased. When we have all the players back, the squad is strong.

"Against Liverpool, Arsenal, Villa, the top three teams in the league, we went toe-to-toe.

"When the strongest players are back we can beat anyone with the right mentality."

Faith in Hojlund

Erik ten Hag believes Rasmus Hojlund now has the confidence to start finding the net on a more regular basis after scoring his first Premier League goal and winner against Aston Villa.

"I trust him, I knew he could, his goals in the Champions League showed he could - and what he did as a young player in Austria and Italy.

"This goal will give him belief he's going to score more goals from this point on."

No distractions

Erik ten Hag insists him and his players are focused on beating Nottingham Forest tomorrow and not on Sir Jim Ratcliffe's takeover.

Ten Hag said in his press conference: "I'm focused on the game so far. In this moment I don't want to have distractions. In the coming days, weeks, there will be time for us [new owners], then I'll know more.

"I think it's a good thing, it's very positive. We are looking really forward to work together. Ineos wants to work with me in this structure and I want to work with them.

"We always want to win, it doesn't matter who is the leader. We are appointed here in this area, we need a winning culture no matter who is in the lead, no matter who is the owner.

"But, of course, owners can inspire you."

Ten Hag yet to speak to Ineos

Erik ten Hag is yet to speak to Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his team since Ineos' 25 per cent investment in the club was confirmed on Christmas Eve.

Ten Hag said: "The schedule is so condensed I didn't have the time so far to speak with them but it will come. I look forward to it.

"They want to work with me, I want to work with them, we will have the conversations, the meetings. We will see."

Injury update

Erik ten Hag has revealed that many of his injured players will be out for another few weeks.

The boss said: "It will be a similar squad as we had against Villa.

"Mid-January we expect many players back. Mason, Casemiro, Martinez, Malacia, so we expect Harry Maguire, of course.

"We expect many players to return in January."

New deal for Hugill

United wonderkid Joe Hugill is set to sign a new contract at Man Utd, according to reports.

The 20-year-old striker, who is still waiting for his first senior appearance, could be loaned out in January.

Erik ten Hag is a fan of Hugill and will assess his position at the club after his proposed loan move.

Neville at it again

Gary Neville rubbed salt into Arsenal fans’ wounds with a cheeky post after their title hopes were dented versus West Ham.

The Manchester United legend wound up supporters by posting a picture of him standing next to a ball on the line and later tweeting that he is “great at goal line technology.”

It comes after another ball in or out VAR decision went against Arsenal last night.

You the man

Man Utd are ready to make an offer for French international and Monaco midfielder Youssouf Fofana, according to reports.

According to Caught Offside, the Red Devils are monitoring Fofana with a view to launching a £26m bid.

Casemiro could be sold in January to make way for him and Sofyan Amrabat has failed to make a strong impression.

Ras hour

Ex-United star Paul Parker believes Ramsus Hojlund's team-mates are to blame for his lack of Premier League goals this season,

He told Tipsbladet: "I think he has been frustrated with his team-mates because they don't provide him with the best conditions to score goals.

"The good thing about Hojlund is that he doesn't show it on the field, and he never behaves like a diva, which we have seen especially Ronaldo do in the past.

"I actually think he could benefit from being more selfish. He should tell Rashford and Garnacho to give him the ball every time they have the opportunity."

Mad for him

Ipswich are in line to make a sensational transfer swoop for Manchester United winger Amad Diallo.

Diallo, 21, impressed while on loan at Sunderland in the Championship last year.

Many expected him to play a role in the United squad this year but he suffered a serious knee injury during pre-season which has seen him only recently return to training.

That means he needs minutes in the legs and high-flying Ipswich are reportedly willing to offer him the chance to return to first-team football with a loan move.

Devil you know

Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna has taken the Championship by storm but could now be in line for his first role in the Premier League.

The former Manchester United coach got the Tractor Boys promoted from League One last season and they are now second in the Championship.

And, according to the Telegraph, McKenna is admired at Crystal Palace with pressure mounting on Roy Hodgson.
