Man Utd 'make decision' on Amad Diallo January transfer

Image
Manchester United are expected to keep Amad Diallo beyond the end of the January transfer window, rather than have the 21-year-old winger finish the season out on loan. Amad enjoyed a highly successful loan at Sunderland last season, contributing 16 goals and assists in 37 Championship appearances for the Black Cats. But a pre-season knee injury has limited the Ivory Coast international to just one outing since returning to his parent club. With fellow winger Facundo Pellistri on course to join Granada on loan, the Manchester Evening News has reported that United staff believe Amad can now play an important role. It is thought that Pellistri, who made 14 appearances during the first half of the season, ended up staying last summer rather than heading out on loan at that time to serve as cover for Amad.

Mauricio Pochettino offers exciting update on Chelsea's January transfer business

Image
Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino has insisted the Blues do not need to sell players before they buy new ones in the January transfer window. The Blues have spent incredibly heavily since the arrival of the BlueCo ownership group but have not seen that investment translate to success on the pitch, with their failure to qualify for this season's Champions League handing an enormous blow to Chelsea's bank balance. With Chelsea in the market for a new striker this month - Napoli's Victor Osimhen and Brentford's Ivan Toney are both expensive targets - many have speculated the Blues could be forced to sell players before spending in order to appease Financial Fair Play regulations, but Pochettino does not believe that to be the case. "No, it is not like this," Pochettino said. "Like you know, too many rumours going around the clubs. It is not what [the owners] translate to me. It is not necessary to sell to buy some players. "We keep a good relation...

Man Utd's 2024 January transfer window wishlist

Image
The 2023/24 season has been one of major anguish for Manchester United, both on the pitch and off it. The Red Devils have underwhelmed in Erik ten Hag's second season in charge, sitting well outside the top four while also exiting all European competition and the Carabao Cup. The FA Cup is their final chance of a trophy, but they will have to improve a lot for success in that tournament to materialise. However, news of Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS' investment has perked fans up approaching the end of 2023. January will mark their first transfer window as part of Man Utd and it could well be a fascinating few weeks in the market. Here are the areas Man Utd need to strengthen and the players they have been interested in.

There might be clamour for a new left-bac...
