      Chelsea and Newcastle are also on the  midfielder’s trail.
      Meanwhile, ex-County boss  Paul Jewell made a brief comeback at Bradford — as part of the interview team for a new manager.

      The Manchester giants see Griezmann as the perfect replacement for Jadon Sancho, who has fallen out of favour after his public spat with manager Erik ten Hag.
      United are open to hearing offers for Sancho, who no longer trains with the first team.
      However, the club’s movements in January will largely depend on Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s ongoing takeover bid.
      Ratcliffe is buying 25 per cent of the club and will be in charge of football operations.

      Newcastle, on the other hand, benefited from a recent vote in which Premier League clubs agreed to allow loan signings between teams with the same owner.
      That could see the Magpies making a bid for Al-Hilal star Ruben Neves to fill in for Sandro Tonali, who has been banned for 10 months following betting breaches.
      Neves’ club is under Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, who also own the Toon. More

      Many players will be on the lookout for a move in the upcoming transfer window in an attempt to boost their hopes of a call-up to their national teams.
      This could be a concern for their clubs who may not want to lose certain players and the depth that they provide.
      SunSports have identified seven players who need to try and get a transfer should they want to play at the Euros.
      Aaron Ramsdale
      The Arsenal goalkeeper has struggled for game time this season thanks to the arrival of David Raya.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      Aaron Ramsdale was one of the club’s best performers last season and earned himself a spot in the England set-up.
      It was expected that he would push Jordan Pickford for the starting role at the Three Lions, however, his place is now at risk in the team.
      Gareth Southgate may look at stoppers who have played more regularly than Ramsdale which could see the places handed to the likes of Nick Pope, Sam Johnstone or Jason Steele.
      Ramsdale has been linked with moves to Chelsea and Newcastle.

      Kalvin Phillips is another England player who could lose their spot due to a lack of playing time at his club.
      The midfielder has only played four times in the Premier League this season.
      Phillips has been linked with a move away from the Etihad Stadium with the likes of Newcastle and Juventus reportedly interested.
      Donny van de Beek

      Donny van de Beek has been a fringe player at Manchester United pretty much since his arrival at the club in 2020.
      The midfielder has since lost his spot in the national team, having not played for the Netherlands since 2021.
      The 26-year-old has admitted that he will be on the lookout for a new club should his playing time under Erik ten Hag not increase.
      Anthony Martial

      Sticking at Old Trafford, Anthony Martial is another player who could make a move in order to save his international career.
      Once hyped as the next Thierry Henry, Martial’s career has stuttered in recent times at Man United due to various reasons.
      The forward should look to make a move in the January window if he hopes to be in the French team alongside the likes of Kylian Mbappe in Germany.
      Jorginho

      Jorginho could be at risk of losing his spot in the Italy national team as they look to try and retain their title.
      The midfielder has become a back-up option at Arsenal following the arrival of Declan Rice in the summer.
      Jorginho has been linked with a move away from the Emirates Stadium with the likes of Barcelona interested.
      The Italian’s contract is up at the end of the season so Arsenal could look to cash in while they have a chance.
      Noni Madueke
      Noni Madueke has barely played for Chelsea this seasonCredit: Getty
      Noni Madueke arrived at Chelsea last January from PSV and a lot was expected from the exciting youngster.
      However, under Mauricio Pochettino, the winger has barely featured in the Premier League having only made five appearances.
      The Englishman has featured for the England U16, U17s, U18s and U21s so far in his career.
      A move to a different club, on loan or permanent, that would guarantee him game time could see him become a late contender for a spot in the England squad.
      Bryan Gil

      Bryan Gil has never really had a chance to succeed at Tottenham since his £20million move from Sevilla.
      The wide midfielder has only played 15 times in the Premier League since 2021, twice this season.
      The once highly-rated Spaniard has played four times for the national side and a return to his homeland could boost his chances of a call-up for the Euros. More

      Antoine Griezmann breaks silence amid transfer rumour he could replace Jadon Sancho at Man Utd

      Griezmann has already netted 12 times in just 16 games for Atletico since making his permanent return to the Mattress Makers.
      And his eye-catching performances have seen suggestions of Manchester United making a January move for the 32-year-old.
      However the hopes of the red side of Manchester have been dashed after Griezmann said he is planning his future at the Metropolitano Stadium.
      Speaking to Marca, he said: “I am motivated to be someone important at Atlético, to be a legend at this club.

      “I know I have to earn it. Now I have many goals for this year, but I want to win La Liga and I need it. I’ve never done it and it would be nice.”
      He went on to say: “By 2024 I want to bring joy to the fans and some title for Atlético. It would be a dream.”
      It has been reported that Grizemann has a shockingly low release clause set at just £21.9million, which would make him an affordable target for Man Utd.
      But the Red Devils may now cool any interest in a move with the former Barcelona man explaining his plans to stay and achieve big things with Atletico.

      Reports had suggested that Griezmann was being eyed by Erik ten Hag and co as a replacement for Jadon Sancho.
      The English winger has been frozen out of the Man Utd squad since his war-of-words with ten Hag and is expected to head for the exit doors in January. More

      Man Utd fans convinced Jonny Evans is FIRST CHOICE centre-back as they spot huge flaw in Ten Hag’s Varane defence

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED fans have been left convinced that Jonny Evans is now the club’s first choice centre-back after Erik ten Hag’s latest press conference.As reported by SunSport, Raphael Varane has been left “stunned” by his position in the Manchester United pecking order after seemingly dropping down to fourth choice.

      Varane was dropped for the Manchester derby in favour of Harry Maguire and Jonny Evans and has not started a game since then when the duo have been fit.
      SunSport understands that Varane has vowed to remain “focused” for the remainder of the season, despite the uncertainty surrounding his future. 
      But ten Hag’s latest response when asked about Varane will not fill the World Cup winner with any confidence.
      When asked about a rift between him and Varane, ten Hag said: “I don’t know what you’re talking about.
      READ MORE MAN UTD NEWS
      “It’s just rumours but there is internal competition. When you have to decide between two players who are brilliant – Varane and Harry Maguire – then you have to make a choice.”
      Fans pointed out that if ten Hag is deciding between Varane and Maguire for one spot, then that would make the 35-year-old Evans the first choice centre-half.
      Evans was only ever signed by United to provide cover for the club at centre-back but now appears to be the cornerstone of ten Hag’s defence.
      Fans were left perplexed by ten Hag’s response in the press conference, with one posting on X: “Meaning Evans is unstoppable??”

      Unfortunately for ten Hag, Evans is ruled out of Sunday’s trip to Everton.
      Meaning it is likely that United fans will see Maguire partnered by Varane for the trip to Goodison.
      In better news, Luke Shaw is now fit again and expected to play a role on Sunday.
      United are expecting a defiant crowd at Everton as the fans look to give their team inspiration following their 10 point deduction for FFP breaches. More

      Chelsea and Man Utd target wonderkid ‘with greatest name in history’ but Brazilian, 16, has £52m transfer release clause

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED and Chelsea have joined the bidding war for Brazilian wonderkid Messinho.Palmeiras starlet Estevao Willian, who earned the “greatest name in history” thanks to his love for Lionel Messi as well as his performances, has attracted interest from some of Europe’s biggest hitters.
      Manchester United and Chelsea are keeping tabs on Palmeiras wonderkid Messinho
      The 16-year-old has been linked with Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Manchester City.
      According to Mundo Deportivo, Chelsea and United have joined the transfer war for the winger’s signature.
      However, the Blues and the Red Devils will have to cough up some heavy cash once more as Messinho – who also goes simply as Estevao – carries a €60million (£52m) release clause.
      The forward signed his first professional contract with Palmeiras in April with a hefty asking price as his agent Andre Curry has claimed his client could win the Ballon d’Or one day.

      The rising star is turning heads in the ongoing Under-17 World Cup in Indonesia with three goals and four assists in four games for Brazil.
      Chelsea and United, though, are facing intense competition with Real contacting Palmeiras on Wednesday.
      Plus, a representative close to Messinho as well as Los Blancos star Vinicius Junior has offered to work as an intermediary.
      A bid will also prove to be tough for the West Londoners and United as the player has previously revealed his desire to play for Barcelona and emulate his idol Messi’s success at the Nou Camp.

      PSG recently made a €40m (£35m) offer which quickly rose to €50m (£43m).
      However, Messinho is waiting for a bid from Barca as he is adamant he prefers the Catalan giants.
      But the player will not be able to move abroad until he turns 18 due to Brazilian law.
      However, Messinho’s bidders can seal a deal that will see him making the move in two years when he becomes an adult, just like Real did with his Palmeiras team-mate Endrick who is currently 17.
      Estevao has yet to make his senior debut for the Brazilian giants but great things are expected from him, which is why he signed a sponsorship deal with Nike at the tender age of 10. More

      Meanwhile, a New Year clear-out could also see both Casemiro and Raphael Varane leave the club.
      As a result, Erik ten Hag may be forced into naming a new look side come the start of February.
      A quartet of United stars are set to be called up for AFCON, which is being held in the Ivory Coast between January 13 and February 11.
      Sofyan Amrabat and Hannibal Mejbri are expected to appear for Morocco and Tunisia, respectively.

      Andre Onana will also be involved for Cameroon after returning to the international fold in recent weeks.
      Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s potential inclusion in DR Congo’s squad may cause the most headaches, though.
      The full-back has reportedly been approached to switch his international allegiance from England after previously representing the Leopards at under-17 level in 2015.
      His absence during the tournament would leave Diogo Dalot as United’s only senior right-back.

      As for potential departures, Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s imminent arrival to lead football operations could prompt a clear-out of the squad.
      Both Casemiro and Varane have been highlighted as players the club may look to move on when the window re-opens.
      Ten Hag is even understood to have gone as far as identifying Jean-Clair Todibo as a replacement for his fellow Frenchman.
      The defender currently plays for Nice, who are owned by Ratcliffe’s Ineos group, and has been strongly linked with a move to Old Trafford.

      He would likely partner Lisandro Martinez in the centre of defence, with the World Cup winner set to return from a foot injury in the new year.
      Further forward, Casemiro’s exit, paired with the absences of Amrabat and Mejbri, could cause issues in midfield.
      Ten Hag would likely call upon Christian Eriksen and Scott McTominay in front of the defence during AFCON.
      United’s front four of Alejandro Garnacho, Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford and Rasmus Hojlund is set to remain intact.
      Fellow attackers Jadon Sancho, Anthony Martial and Antony are said to be facing the exit too as part of Sir Jim’s cull. More

      That is because the full-back would have to jet off to the Ivory Coast and link up with the Leopards for the Africa Cup of Nations, which kicks off on January 13 and ends on February 11.
      Congo have advanced to the finals and will take on Morocco, Zambia and Tanzania in the group stage.
      According to The Athletic’s insider David Ornstein, Wan-Bissaka has been approached by the African country’s football association.
      The 25-year-old has yet to decide but he is considering a potential switch.

      The ex-Crystal Palace star was born in Croydon but is of Congolese descent and even played for the country’s Under-17s back in 2015.
      And funnily enough, that was for an international friendly against England who won 8-0.
      United fans took to social media immediately after the news broke as they were devastated with the thought of losing another player amid an injury-stricken campaign.
      That would mean manager Erik ten Hag would only have one right-back available in Diogo Dalot.

      However, some supporters admit Wan-Bissaka deserves a crack at international football having failed to play for England at senior level with Kyle Walker, Kieran Trippier and Reece James ahead of him.
      One fan tweeted: “No I beg please no.”
      Another posted: “Massive blow for us if he goes to AFCON, but would be a good decision for his international career.”
      A third commented: “Man United must have some bad news almost daily.”

      This fan said: “Bad situation in a good manner. Oh no.”
      And that one stated: “A significant decision that could impact Man Utd’s right-back position during the tournament. All eyes on the 25-year-old’s choice!”
