Jack Butland is a done deal for Manchester United on loan.

Dubravka's loan contract expired on January 1 and left the team. They must have wanted to fill his place with Butland. There have already been rumours like they were going to bring a new goalkeeper to the team. De Gea has also been speculated with leaving the team by the end of his contract in this summer. But it looks like they just want to keep the quality of goalkeepers as high as possible. Butland isn't a bad goalkeeper normally. He hasn't played in any matches this season so far. But hopefully he will stay fit and be ready for duty when the time comes.

Manchester United need a second choice goal keeper. Last month, I heard De Gea was to leave Manchester United at the end of his contract but now I hear he is considering accepting a contract extension to continue at the club, I'm not so sure how much truth there is to this but the signing of Jack Butland after the departure of Dubravka clearly indicates Jack will be replacing Dubravka as the second Choice goal keeper for Manchester United.

I think right now, Manchester United is making a target to keep de Gea as the main goalkeeper.
And I think they brought in Jack as the second goalkeeper of the team. De Gea is still a good goalkeeper.

I don’t know why a lot of people say that he is not going to be good enough for Manchester United.
In my opinion, he’s actually going to be good if the defense of Manchester United does work.
If that opponent is breaking through the defense, the goalkeeper will have very little chance most of the time.

Wout Weghorst on his way to Manchester United. Still a very striking transfer. A player who only managed to score 2 goals as a striker at Burnley. And who should make it at United? Seems pretty impossible to me. He did well in Turkey, but that is not really an indicator of his level. English competition is a lot higher level. United probably get him to force something in the last 10 minutes of the game. I also still do not understand why Bayern Munich has picked up Daly Blind. Transfer-free, but has been playing with a pacemaker for a few years (or an advanced variant thereof). Not all competitions accept that device.

The more achievements a person has, the more critics / envious people he has. The most recent example is Ronaldo - one of the greatest athletes in history, but if you read sports forums in recent months, you would think that he is the embodiment of evil and in sports "accidentally passed by" and has no achievements. Envious people do not like ambitious people - the previous case is Mourinho, who was not silent for every word against himself, but spoke in response, from which the priests of the haters burned with a bright flame Grin

Zidane is also a bright personality and he acts according to his desires and not the image or something else - this annoys a lot of people.

Zidane is surely one of the best in his business for the France and Real Madrid as well even he achieves good success in club level for Real Madrid as coach just because of this he was expecting to have something as French national coach but look like things are not going favorable for him, so hopefully he will have better options in near future with something better as he already rejected few offers like PSG coach and USA national team coach which was surely big opportunity for this legendary player, but he has plans which needs more time for having better things for his future.

Zidane is one of the brightest personalities in sporting history, and he has never been involved in any disrespectful act like FFF president doing because he wants some social media attention, which is surely a cheap way for having things like this.

Where will he end? does he want a team or is he ok with being without work?

Wow, I understand refusing PSG (Zidane had reasons to do so), but refusing a Brazilian team that is at the bottom (in terms of results), which means a “rise” is almost guaranteed, is very strange. But in fact, Zidane can afford it - he does not need money or titles, so he can be unemployed for a long time and wait for an option that interests him.

This is becoming more and more interesting now, whether Zidane will just stay in his current condition who doesn't want to train or is he still waiting for the French national team to offer him to train to replace Deschamps is a big question now.
Actually I hope he will restart next season but when some big offers keep him turning down I am a bit pessimistic now.

When the news about Bale's retirement was flying I thought he retired from international football which could be after non excellent world cup outing.
It was when I paid much attention that I understood that he retired in football I total.
I am not pleased with that when player like Iniesta is till playing football.
Bale would have chosen another club to pay for more 3yrs before retirement.

Perhaps he wants to focus on his 2nd priority, "golf". I read somewhere that he wasn't allowed to play golf during World Cup by Wales coach, and he likely couldn't play as much as he wants if he still plays football. As a player who has won some major tournaments, it's not a hard choice I suppose.

It goes without saying that no one will ever forget the legendary goal that he scored against Barcelona during his career. There is no one I am aware of who has such a type of heat map. There was no doubt that he was a legendary player. In my opinion, if he had not been injured, he could have played for a longer period of time.

While he was in his prime, he was one of the most dangerous men his opponents faced. To be honest, it is not very surprising that he has decided to retire from football. As we look back on the last few years, especially in light of what has been happening to him, it is easy to understand why.

Hey, I posted about Zidane and Brazil yesterday, thinking about the possibility, but I'm shocked Zidane is not considering Brazil
Now I think it's personal, Zidane doesn't like Brazil and brazilian players (like Neymar for example), and he's waiting some special club or France.
He'l losting a rare chance with Brazil, he can have a team to fight for 2026 World Cup title, with so many options, almost unlimited players to chose Cheesy

I didn't see anyone posting here about, so, World Champion Di Maria can change his club Shocked

I don't know if this is real from Internacional (Brazil) or only to bring attention to the club and make fans happy, but there's some talk in brazilian media.

We could say that Weghorst wasn’t Manchester United top priority for the striker role but due the bind the club finds himself in they can’t make any marquee signing for now. Nonetheless I don’t think weghorst is that even if he had a bad outing last season with Burnley I still believe he can turn it around. I watched him play so well for Wolfsburg in the German Bundesliga. I also think he fits in the profile of a center forward Manchester United need. He is tall and very good on the air he can also hold up play for his wingers. Ten Hag will make use of him well just like Sabastian Haller when he joined Ajax after a poor premier league campaign with West Ham

There is no doubt Weghorst was never been in priority list of Manchester United but due to some internal issues now they have done this deal for temporary because suddenly Cristiano Ronaldo leaves and change of ownership is also happening which create problems for the Ten Haq, so now they have settled for this transfer and will do better things after the end of this season.

Now how things works for the Weghorst and Ten Haq for all details we have to wait and watch about this all because mostly feeling he is not good for the Premier League because in his last few attempts he had never been good, but now this all depends on Ten Haq how he use him and have positive results for the short period.

According to a Spanish online news Chelsea had agreed a verbal agreement to sign Joao Felix on loan from Atletico Madrid despite offers from Arsenal and Man Utd, I think Chelsea needed the service of the youngstar at this point in time when majority of their key players are injured, Joao Felix is a very talented player who plays No 10 position very well thus brings more options for Graham Potter side and a good move by the club to build a future formidable team with the present young players in their squad provided that club owner Boehly gives Graham Potter more time to rebuild the club.

Chelsea keeps on buying new players yet nothing show with the good players they currently have in the club. Chelsea still thinks they need players to become better in performance.
Chelsea should also try their best to manage their players very well to realise good results.

Gareth Bale has announced that he is retiring from football. He is only 33 years old yet. Even if he didn't play in the top leagues, I think he could continue to play football in other leagues. I think everyone agrees with me that he left football a little early. Especially when I look at stars like Ronaldo and İbrahimovic, I definitely think he left football early. His career has seen many ups and downs but he will be remembered for his three goals against Inter in the Champions League while he was playing for Tottenham.

It's kinda obvious that he was starting to lose the passion of playing football after his silly flag celebration. But yeah it doesn't change the fact that he was one of the best wingers in 2010s and scored so many outstanding goals. My favorite was when he sprinted against Bartra in Copa Del Rey final game and that goal earned Real Madrid the victory.

Manchester United seem to be in search a defender also these days. The Monaco centre-back Axel Disasi is on their radar currently.

However Manchester United aren't the only Premier League team chasing this transfer. Tottenham and West Ham are also in this race. I don't think West Ham would win such race as they are having a horrible season. But Tottenham would be a big rival to Manchester United here. Maguire still has two more years on his contract. They have stated that he isn't leaving in this month. Maybe they want to give him more chances in the future also after seeing his performance in the World Cup. But I wouldn't be so sure of this.

Manchester united is at their best peak at the moment with straight winnings in two games. Very important for the head coach, Erik ten hag to sign defenders in the January transfers window. The premier league is meant for top flight actions because most teams would want to be in the champions league, FA cup or Europa league competition.

Manchester United reported has interested to bought Bayern Munich player Eric Maxim Choupo-Motting and the rumours say Ten Hag want this player in this January and Ten Hag feel Choupo-Motting game of style are suitable for his strategy so he will attempts to get Choupo-Motting and indeed Choupo-Motting contract will be expired soon and Bayern actually has offering him new contract but the negotiation still went to deadlock because he want long duration contract and Manchester United have tried to take advantage of this situation and although some people believe Choupo-Motting will stay at Bayern and extended his contract but maybe if Manchester United offering good deal he will be considering that offer

There are lots of wild speculations and rumors that we have not been able to prove to be legit. So far, there are many players who have always linked the Red Devils this January. but unfortunately, no statement has been issued by Ten Hag through its official statement. to be sure, Erik Ten Hag has asked management to buy several players to be brought to Old Tranford this January. So far Ten Hag's attention to bring in a striker is purely as the team needs at this time. the reason is, Ten Hag knows that he will not always be able to rely on Marcus Rashford let alone Martrial.
As for Choupo-Motting, he still has a contract until next summer. reportedly, he is not interested in extending his contract with Bavaria. why, because he knows very well if Bayern bring in a striker who is more established and sharp. automatically Choupo-Motting, will again become a second line-up player, which is why he is reluctant to maintain his contact with Die Bayern.
on the other hand, Bayern will not let him go this January because after all they still need his services at least until the end of the season. so, I believe this rumor is not valid.

Although Choupo-Moting's contract finishes next season if I'm not wrong but still I don't think he's going to be the right fit for Manchester United. So far even with Bayern Munich, he has not been that much consistent even after the departure of Robert Lewandowski.

Another thing is that he is a mediocre-level striker which a team like Manchester United might not like. They need a striker who can score on a regular basis and Choupo-Moting is not something like that. I think they should try to buy some other player instead of him.

Yes, I agree Manchester united team needs a good striker, it must have continuity. Al-Nasr removed Vincent Aboubakar, who was a good striker, from the team because of the foreign quota, this player's name was mentioned with Manchester united, I came across it very often in the news. I think Vincent Aboubakar is a striker with the capacity to score against the Manchester united forward in any circumstance. This transfer will be enough for halftime, I think it can be a good try for half season.

Wout Weghorst is like he has discovered his skills once again after joining Besiktas on loan. He is very productive by not only scoring goals but also making assists. 8 goals and 4 assists are pretty impressive statistics in 16 games in the Turkish Super League. Of course he isn't playing at a level even near the Premier League's now. But it is still good for him because this is increasing his self-confidence once again. Because he wasn't a bad striker in the past also.

His times with Wolfsburg are still in my mind. Especially the 2020/21 season in the Bundesliga was amazing for him as he was the third most scorer with 20 goals. Burnley wasn't the right place for him and let's see how he will perform at Manchester United if he goes there. This transfer would push Rashford and Martial to play better also I guess.

The French national team head coach Didier Deschamps has extended his contract until 2026. With this, Deschamps would have managed France for 14 years. The power of Didier Deschamps in French football will force Zidane to return to club soccer. It would be wise for Zidane to just forget about coaching France because he would then have to wait another 4 years to coach the France National Football Team, but he would not be guaranteed to succeed.

I don't think Zidane is waiting to be manager of France, maybe he is just taking his time before he makes a decision on his next club or country. Didier Deschamps has been doing an excellent job as French manager and there is no reason why France should do away with him, he has taken them to back to back world cup finals, winning one in the process and coming out runner up in the other one, that is an amazing feat, and i expected his contract as manager to be extended, except if he personally didn't want to.
Having said that, there is a Euro tournament coming up next year and it is expected that France are going to be amongst the favorites for it, i'm pretty sure Didier Deschamps is looking forward to it. If actually Zidane is looking for the French job, four years isn't too long to wait, because i am not sure Didier Deschamps would stay longer than 2026, Zidane could even get himself a job with a club side whilst he waits.

Personally, I do not believe Zidane is interested in coaching the French national team, as I think that he would be better off working as a manager for a club in my opinion, rather than coaching the French national team. In fact, he has proven that he is an excellent club coach while he was at Real Madrid, as he helped them win the Champions League multiple times during his time there. Another thing is that coaching an international team is a hectic job because the coaches do not get to train the players far enough time to bring out the best tactic.

I also don't see that happening anytime soon and consider such news as rumours because I read few dats ago that the current coach of the french national team has agreed to extend hos contract until 2026 meaning it is very unlikely that Zidane will be stepping in as the manager anytime soon but I think Zidane will be an Excellent choice if eventually he becomes the next coach of the french team.

Maguire is a player for England's main national team and it's been a while since every English player has always been the priority at Manchester United. But the arrival of Erik Ten Hag was considered brave so not a few of Maguire's matches were postponed. In contrast to other coaches, before Erik Ten Hag at Manchester United, Maguire performed poorly and was always used as the main player. So I saw a firmness in Erik Ten Hag, he really controlled Manchester United for the sake of mutuality. Moreover, even if Maguire leaves, I don't think it will have too much impact on the stability of Manchester United's game.

The weird thing is, Maguire is the type of player that should be at max Championship level teams defender, he is not good enough for United, not good enough for premier league if you ask me but maybe lower end, and certainly not good enough for England national team. I have absolutely no idea what people see in him, there was even a moment when he was subbed in and the other teams fans cheered, that should tell you all you need to know about him.

I get that maybe he used to be better, but he longer is and his mistakes cost United a lot of points last year, in fact he was one of the main reasons for it as well. They are much better without him this year, and should sell him asap.

Erik ten Hag needs an additional striker to replace Cristiano Ronaldo, Weghorst was brought in on loan to navigate the 2022/2023 season. Weghorst was deemed unsuitable for Manchester United because he was unable to compete in Burnley main squad. The club's spending budget is so thin that Ten Hag has to find a solution in attack, Manchester United is in the process of changing ownership of the club which makes Ten Hag movements very limited in choosing the players he wants to bring in.

Previously Ten Hag had said he only wanted to bring good players to Old Trafford to strengthen the Manchester United squad. The agreement that occurred with Burnley for Weghorst transfer was not very effective, Weghorst was not a top player, especially since he would occupy the position left by Ronaldo. I think it will be a frantic transfer for Manchester United after several names failed to land.

We could say that Weghorst wasn’t Manchester United top priority for the striker role but due the bind the club finds himself in they can’t make any marquee signing for now. Nonetheless I don’t think weghorst is that even if he had a bad outing last season with Burnley I still believe he can turn it around.
