#3 Manchester United want Dennis Man

Manchester United are eyeing a move for Dennis Man

If reports from The Sun are to be believed, Manchester United are said to be plotting a move for FCSB midfielder Dennis Man. The Red Devils are also set to face stiff competition for the 20-year-old's signature, with Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur also said to be eyeing a move for him.

Man has already notched 7 goals in 22 appearances for his club this season. He has also been capped twice by Romania.

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino was rumoured to have sent a scout to watch the midfielder in FCSB's game against Viitorul Constanta, only for the game to be postponed to Tuesday night due to fog.

FCSB have already rejected a £2.5m bid from Roma, while Turkish outfit Fenerbache are also said to be interested in a move for the midfielder.

Man has only two and a half years remaining on his contract and is valued at £12m by his club.

#2 AC Milan eyeing swoop for Marcus Rashford

AC Milan are said to be interested in Marcus Rashford

According to reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport via ESPN, AC Milan are said to be interested in signing Marcus Rashford in January. The Italian outfit have reportedly switched their attention to the Englishman after ruling out a move for Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Milan technical director Leonardo confirmed the club's intentions to sign a midfielder and a striker this weekend.

Rashford has featured sporadically for Manchester United this season and the Rossoneri are exploring the possibilities of bringing him to the San Siro. Sampdoria's Fabio Quagliarella is also being viewed as a suitable option.

It remains to be seen whether the Italians actually make any significant move to sign the forward in January.

Marcus Rashford has made 13 appearances for Manchester United in the Premier League this season, with 3 goals and 5 assists under his belt.

According to reports from France Football as cited by the Mirror, Manchester United have emerged as front-runners to land Lyon starlet Tanguy Ndombele. The Red Devils have apparently entered the race already crowded by Barcelona, Tottenham and Manchester City.

Ndombele also recently revealed that he could have left Lyon in the summer but was glad to stay put. Speaking on the matter, he said:

“I could have gone, maybe things would have worked out well. The club was firm, they didn’t want me to leave. I didn’t feel like leaving, and I think that today you can see that it was the best decision for me."

“Things are going well, I am playing a lot of games, and I am in the French national team. So, I think for the moment it was the best decision.”

Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas also confirmed that the club has already rejected offers of more than £45m for the midfielder.
