Thursday's Manchester United transfer talk news roundup: Jamal Musiala, Facundo Pellistri, Jesse Lingard

Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for Manchester United on Thursday, January 21.

The January transfer window is now open, with Manchester United continuing to be linked with a host of big names.

The Red Devils have already agreed a deal to sign Amad Traore, and could look to bolster their ranks further to build on an encouraging first half of the season.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news on possible comings and goings from Old Trafford.

Thursday morning's Manchester United transfer talk news roundup:


Seven players 'at risk of leaving Manchester United this month'

Manchester United could reportedly attempt to move on as many as seven players in the final stages of the January transfer window.

The Red Devils completed a move for teenage attacker Amad Diallo earlier this month but are not expected to be active in the market in terms of signing any new players before the deadline.

However, according to The Mirror, there are currently seven players at risk of leaving the club, with head coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looking to trim his squad for the final months of the 2020-21 campaign.

The report claims that Jesse Lingard, Marcos Rojo, Sergio Romero, Juan Mata, Phil Jones, Brandon Williams and Daniel James are currently viewed as surplus to requirements.

Mata, Williams and James have been involved during stages of the season, but Lingard has struggled for action, while Rojo, Romero and Jones have not made a single appearance between them this term.

United returned to the top of the Premier League table on Wednesday night courtesy of a 2-1 victory at Fulham, with Paul Pogba scoring the winner at Craven Cottage.



Jamal Musiala a target for Liverpool, Manchester United and Manchester City?

Jamal Musiala has emerged as a rumoured target for Premier League heavyweights Liverpool, Manchester United and Manchester City after failing to agree a new contract with Bayern Munich.

The 17-year-old attacking midfielder burst onto the scene in the back end of last season, becoming both Bayern's youngest player and goalscorer in the Bundesliga.

England Under-21s international Musiala has made 19 appearances for the Bavarian giants overall, but his current deal expires next year and fresh terms have yet to be agreed.

Goal claims that, with Bayern unwilling to match the youngster's £100,000-a-week wage demands, he may be on his way to the Premier League in the summer.

Reigning English champions Liverpool, plus Manchester rivals United and City, are all said to be closely monitoring the situation.

Musiala's camp are said to be confident that one of the Premier League big boys will match the six-figure weekly sum the attacker is after, feeling that he has already proved his worth over the past seven months.
