Man utd news: sanchez transfer talks, mourinho wants these 3 players

Manchester United news is coming ahead of this weekend’s clash with Bournemouth, who cruised through to the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup last night. The Red Devils will go into that

match on a high following their 2-1 victory over Everton on Sunday, where goals from Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial fired them to a vital three points. The January transfer window is

creeping closer and today’s round-up features news on Alexis Sanchez, whose future at Old Trafford is far from certain. Three Jose Mourinho targets have also been identified, while Wayne

Rooney has sent a message of support to his manager. SANCHEZ TRANSFER TALKS Manchester United chiefs are pondering whether to cut Alexis Sanchez loose and have already held talks about a

possible transfer. That’s according to The Sun, who say the Chile international’s dire form has prompted such desperate measures. Sanchez only arrived from Arsenal in January - but has

managed to find the net just four times since. PSG are reportedly keen to snap him up should one of Neymar or Kylian Mbappe depart. They do appear to be the only frontrunners for now,

though. MOURINHO HAS THREE SPECIFIC TARGETS Jose Mourinho has trimmed Manchester United’s list of defensive transfer targets down to three, ESPN say. The 55-year-old is keen to bolster his

backline despite already having Victor Lindelof, Chris Smalling, Eric Bailly, Phil Jones and Marcos Rojo at his disposal. Inter Milan and AC Milan duo Milan Skriniar and Alessia Romagnoli

are both being eyed. And Fiorentina powerhouse Nikola Milenkovic is Mourinho’s third target. United will only splash the cash in January, though, should the right opportunity emerge. ROONEY

CLAIM Manchester United icon Wayne Rooney has insisted Mourinho still retains the support of the club’s players. The DC United forward said: “Obviously they are going through a difficult

period at the minute but Jose Mourinho is very experienced and I think some players have to do a little bit better. “Hopefully they can turn their form around, win a few more games and keep

the pressure on the top of the table and get back up there, which is where we all want to see them. “In my experience, I have never seen or heard of a player not wanting to play in the game

because they have had a falling out with the manager. “I don't think any player, certainly at Manchester United, will be not playing for Jose, I'm sure they're all working

hard behind the scenes to get results.”
