In another surprising transfer rumour, Manchester United are reportedly interested in the signature of Brazil and Barcelona midfielder Philippe Coutinho, as per various sources in Spain. Coutinho, who moved from Liverpool to Barcelona last January for £142 million, has found fewer starts in this season which has resulted in rumours of him being unhappy.

The bookmakers are strongly hinting that the Red Devils will put in a bid for the Brazilian in the January transfer window.

But Barcelona's Guillermo Amor has said that Coutinho is a big part of Barcelona's future: "Coutinho’s a player with a lot of experience, one of the best players in Europe and he is ready to play [for] five minutes or 90 minutes.

"He’s a player that thinks more about the team than himself and there are no doubts about him being one of the best players in the world. He’s always played well for Barca, he could play [every game] from the off. Barca signed him because he’s one of the best in the world and he’s going to give us a lot. He’s got many years left on his contract and a lot to give to Barcelona,” said Amor.
