The Turkey international has been linked with a move to Inter in the summer. Italian media suggested that Nerazzurri had already opened preliminary talks with the player’s entourage, and Hakan Calhanoglu suggested that his compatriot move to the Stadio Meazza to get more playing time. Guler replied to questions about his future in an interview with Marca, but didn’t seem willing to ch...

Maresca had presided over eight successive victories before a bleak run over the festive period, which has coincided with a glut of defensive injuries. While club captain Reece James has on...

Man Utd get transfer ‘update’ as Mourinho reunion ruled out

Coach Jose Mourinho of Fenerbahce reacts during the Turkish Super League match between Fenerbahce and Gaziantep at Ulker Sukru Saracoglu Stadium on December 2, 2024 in Istanbul, Turkey.

Rafael Leao of AC Milan looks on during AC Milan training session at Milanello on October 30, 2024 in Cairate, Italy.

Manchester United have three transfer options to fund January rescue act

It has been five years since Manchester United spent money on a permanent signing in the January transfer window, and the new football structure at Old Trafford will aim to keep the chequebook closed again this winter.

He is United's best signing of the last decade and has proved outstanding value for money at £47m. Since then, United have done all their major business in the summer, as the most well-run clubs always aim to do. The winter window in Erik ten Hag's first season was notable for some stop-gap loan deals, in Jack Butland, Marcel Sabitzer and Wout Weghorst. Ralf Rangnick ...
