Goal.com claims that Erling Haaland's preferred club is going to be Real Madrid in case he leaves Dortmund this summer. And I think that he is quite likely to leave this time. Dortmund managed to keep him at the club for once. But I don't think that the second time will happen. And I really don't want Erling Haaland to continue at Dortmund for many years. His current level is way above Dortmund and the Bundesliga's. He deserves to play at much bigger clubs.

Pogba doesn't fit in at Real Madrid with Carlo Ancelotti's game adjustments. For Pogba himself, he is more suited to PSG's style of play, but that is also if PSG want Pogba character who is not too obedient to the coach rules. Maybe now at Manchester United Pogba can adjust more and continue to follow any instructions he will be considered for accepting an offer to Real Madrid.

Last year, it was believed that the main contender for the Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba was Real Madrid. It was rumored that there was a verbal transfer agreement between the footballer and the “creamy” about the transfer in the summer of 2022, when the Frenchman will receive free agent status.

However, Marca reports that the situation is not as straightforward as previously thought. It turns out that the "Royal Club" does not plan to meet the financial needs of the midfielder.

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is confident that Pogba will not fit into the current squad, although the club understands that the Frenchman is a very strong player.

Transfer rumours:

Norway striker Erling Braut Haaland's preferred destination if he leaves Borussia Dortmund next year is Real Madrid, although the 21-year-old has yet to make a decision on his future. The real question is whether Real has the financial means to pay both him and Mbappe.
Newcastle United are leading the chase to sign France winger Ousmane Dembele, with Manchester United also interested in the 24-year-old whose contract with Barcelona runs out next summer. Can Newcastle really bring in players like this as early as next summer, given that they won't be ready to fight for the title yet and they won't compete in Europe yet. That’s not exactly a motive for the biggest players to come play.
Barcelona are desperate for attacking reinforcements in January and are considering moves for Manchester United's 28-year-old England attacking midfielder Jesse Lingard and 34-year-old Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani. Is any of these plans realistic given Barcelona’s desperate financial situation?
Manchester United will move for Ajax boss Erik ten Hag if they fail to bring in Paris St-Germain boss Mauricio Pochettino as their new manager in the summer. ten Hague is doing an outstanding job at Ajax and the question is whether he wants to come to the ''cemetery of coaches'' at Manchester United.

FC Bayern München is trying to sell Corentin Tolisso during the winter break. The player failed to make an impact at Bayern and is now expected to be traded away, at least for a small fee, before he becomes a free agent next season. Inter Milan and Tottenham Hotspurs are mentioned as potential candidates for a transfer. Inter Milan in particular is looking for a new midfielder during the winter break. Corentin Tolisso's market value is currently €15m according to transfermarkt.com.

In my opinion, Tolisso desperately needs a fresh start at another club. At FC Bayern he could never establish himself and I think a transfer during the winter break would be a good for him and the club. What do you guys think?

Rangnick will make Man United more organized on the pitch.  And between him Solskjaer, Rangnick def has the managerial chops to help United get through this season and prolly finish at the top 4.  Give it 5 games and see the difference.  I’m really excited to see United do Rangnick’s version of the Gegenpress.


I’m not sure why too...  But he’s staying as a consultant at United for two years.  So I guess be on the look out for German managers available to take over next year.  That should have good odds in the betting market.    Carrick will prolly stay as an assistant.

He's been linked down with Barcelona,but English players performance at Spanish la Liga has be poor, you'll hardly see a English player over there.
The move to Arsenal might be possible,I'm not too sure how true this is,bit this will make him playing for three top teams in the premier league.
Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal if this works through.

according to the spanish sports newspaper "marca", new coach Xavi is said to be interested in signing Arthur Cabral (23) from fc basel - loan in winter, buy in summer.
the brazilian striker scored a strong 24 goals for fcb from switzerland in 25 games so far this season

It looks clear to me that Rangnick is a very temporary solution to a permanent problem. They signed a 6 month agreement with a guy who didn't even worked as a manager for a while now, and they are going to get through the season with him until they find someone much better by the end of the season. I get that some people may like him, and dude studied in UK as well as far as I know, he was a manager for a long time as well so he has the experience for it, but became general manager and other positions after a while.

I assume they really want Zidane and Zidane said he will rest this season, so they found a temporary solution until they could speak with Zidane again, or see what happens with PSG and Pochettino deal. If they could at least be in champions league level at the league then they would probably have a great chance to get a good manager.

Fabrizio romano has also confirmed on one of the youtube channels about Arsenal interest in sterling at the moment, and reportedly arsenal has made a direct  approach to sterling, I think the current condition of sterling in manchester city is quite threatened with the arrival of grealish who has become guardiola's choice in the squad the main manchester city, and if sterling still stays in manchester city it will certainly make a setback for his football career later, reportedly besides arsenal, barcelona are also interested in signing sterling in january and now manchester city wants more than 50 million pounds for clubs who want to recruit sterling.

Yup, Rangnick was a highly influential figure. He even did a really good job with Leipzig not so long ago. Thing is - football changes fast - and Rangnick has been out of coaching for a while.
Don't get me wrong - United could have chosen much worse and Rangnick's experience will probably help to remedy the situation a bit. Still - United will be left with the same structural problems - but no manager could change that until the end of the season.

I wonder what happens after - Rangnick will be eyeing a role at the club, if they still keep Woodward, Rangnick will choke him one day

It is rumoured that Arsenal are keeping eyes on Mancity star Raheem Sterling,who is no longer seeing matches at the Etihad Stadium.And Mikel Arteta is a huge fan of the England international.

But it is yet to be seen whether Sterling will agree to join the gunners,since they are not in European competition..If he joins,he will be a massive  signing for the gunners.

Of course, one should not discount such a factor as an offer that cannot be refused, but still it seems that this is not the case As already mentioned before, another reason for Zidane's refusal from the post of Manchester United head coach was a poor level of English language proficiency. Also, the opponent of moving to England is Zidane's wife, even more she does not like the fact of moving to Manchester itself. Coupled with Zidane's own plans for the post of head coach, it is difficult to imagine how much the bosses of Manchester United should offer in order for Zinedine to change his mind and become the head coach of the club.

I think Carrick could also do that. Yep, they will be trying to look for a good coach at the end of season if things keep going bad, but I don't think It was going to be easy for them at the moment. Ralf Rangnick may actually not be a bad choice.

What if Ralf Rangnick makes United succeed this season. Do you think they will continue searching for a new coach?

The offer may be juicy but it also depends on the interest of the coach. There are so many factors at play... Language, culture etc
Zidane is a very tricky individual. Look how he coached Real Madrid, Won UCLs, left at his will, came back under the same club leadership, coached and left again at his will.

Zidane's goal is to become coach of french national team after the next world cup in Qatar, that will match the departure of Didier Deschamps, currently french coach, also in 2022. It was also said Zidane enjoys living in Madrid and in the scenario he becomes coach of France, it's possible he continues living there without prejudice. On the other scenario, however, that he accepts the proposal from Manchester United he would need to move himself to England, what looks unlikely to happen accordingly to the news I have seen recently.

A few days ago, Zidane changed his mind and publicly expressed his interest in going to United, but I learned that the problem was not even the money, but his wife as she would have no interest in living in Manchester and prefers that the husband take a longer break before resuming his career.

I never go against my wife, I know these can bring big problems

As we know in other media, there are several things that Zidane refused to do, so it wasn't in terms of an attractive offer but a rejection from himself and his family. If this is indeed the case then the management of Man United must be able to convince that the most important thing, for me, is the salary issue. will definitely adjust if there is a request from Zidane himself.

So for me Zidane still wants to rest even though it has been a long time while there is an offer that suits him, some even say in the media that Zidane is not very interested in the English league.

Yep, but Ralf Rangnick is just an Interim coach. This means Man United may sign another coach to hire for a long term. In my opinion, they hired Rangnick because they are no longer want to see Ole in Old Trafford. At least, there is someone replacing Ole position as a coach temporarily.

Why do you so doubt if Zidane can be a Man United coach?
I think it is not impossible, why not?
It depends on how the offer made by Man United management. If it is interesting, I think there is a chance of signing Zidane.

According to Telegraph, Manchester City are preparing a new contract for their talented winger Raheem Sterling. He has been linked with Barcelona in the recent times as you might have heard. Therefore, Manchester City don't want to lose him that easy. And honestly, I don't think that Sterling would like to leave a solid team like City for joining Barcelona that are in a problematic condition. Sterling's current contract expires in nearly 2 years. It'd be better for City to extend his contract to secure him.

Last season there were talks about him leaving, however looking at how they are doing so much better this season and how he is playing like the best player in the world, I do not think that Liverpool would want to sell him no matter how much you pay them. I get that some team could come up with 200+ million and suddenly change this idea, because that is a lot of money but how do you really replace someone like Salah?

Even if you have a billion dollars, it just doesn't happen to be right there for taking, which is why I believe that they should not be selling him no matter how much a team like Madrid or PSG ends up offering, doesn't make sense to try to replace him and fail multiple times and then you are out of money.. just like how it happened to Barcelona with the Neymar situation, a lot of money but they couldn't find someone as good ever again.
