Manchester United are desperate for some quality reinforcements in the January transfer window and have already made enquiries about a couple of Wolverhampton Wanderers' key players, Goal reports.

The Red Devils have contacted the Wolves over the availability of Mexican striker Raul Jimenez and midfielder Ruben Neves. Though all talks are still understood to be at the nascent stages.

Chelsea's interest in David Alaba cut short as Bayern boss says the Austrian is not for sale

Chelsea have been linked with a move for Bayern Munich defender David Alaba, who has 18 months remaining on his Allianz Arena contract. But the Blues' hopes of signing the veteran defender were quashed by Bayern Munich's caretaker manager Hansi Flick, who made it clear that the Austrian was not for sale, as per Sportstar.

He told reporters at the club's training camp in Doha:

"Alaba is doing very well at centre-back at the moment. He's not for sale."

Alaba had been utilized in a centre-back role for the last few games and did well in that position. Chelsea have faced an issue on the left-hand side of their defence with Alonso and Emerson struggling with injuries and poor form.

It seems they'll have to look to other options to bolster their defence in the coming days now.
