      He furthered his reputation by starring at the World Cup as South Korea reached the last-16.

      They’ve already missed out on Cody Gakpo, who’s agreed a £37million deal with Liverpool.
      United have also been linked with Gakpo’s Netherlands team-mate Depay, who endured a disappointing spell at Old Trafford between 2015 and 2016.
      The Dutchman scored just seven goals in 53 matches before leaving for Lyon.
      Depay did go on to become a revelation in France which earned him a switch to Barcelona.

      As a result the club are eyeing short-term loan deals until the end of the campaign.

      And former Chelsea ace Morata, 30, is one potential option.
      Morata’s Atletico Madrid team-mate Joao Felix is also available.
      However, the Spaniards are said to be demanding a hefty loan fee and all of his wages to be paid, which would cost United £19million in total.
      Felix has also been linked with a switch to Chelsea.

      The Red Devils are on the lookout for a replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo and Gakpo was believed to be top of their list.
      However, once Liverpool made their move United were unable to compete as they could not match the Anfield side’s financial package, according to ESPN.
      PSV had to sell Gakpo for as much as they could as they needed to make sure they would be able to cover their costs due to an increased wage bill.
      Therefore they did not launch an official bid for Gakpo and the report has suggested that the Dutch manager was left frustrated by this, but is still hopeful of finding a solution.

      According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the Red Devils want to reward the centre-forward with a new contract and will meet his agents in the near future.
      Ten Hag is reportedly “obsessed” with the England international and sees him as a key part of his plans at Old Trafford.
      Romano tweeted: “Marcus Rashford, completely changed under Erik ten Hag. Fantastic numbers and clear improvement.
      “Contract has been extended until June 2024 but Manchester United will meet his agents to offer new long term deal soon. Ten Hag, ‘obsessed’ with MR as key part of project.”

      Rashford’s stunning form has also been noticed by some of Europe’s biggest hitters with Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi publicly revealing his interest.
      If the 25-year-old doesn’t reach a deal with United then club bosses risk losing him on a cut-price fee next summer – or as free agent in 18 months if he runs down his contract.
      Ten Hag recently revealed the Red Devils have already triggered a contract extension for the forward as well as Diogo Dalot, Luke Shaw and Fred.
      He said: “Yes, I can confirm it. We are happy because the squad is going in the right direction and those players [have] a massive contribution in that direction.

      Arsenal and Man Utd fans in hilarious transfer tug-of-war over Rafael Leao as they keep changing star’s Wikipedia

      by

      RAFAEL LEAO is at the centre of a hilarious transfer tug-of-war between Manchester United, Arsenal, Coventry City and non-league FC Clacton… according to Wikipedia.The AC Milan winger, 23, has attracted plenty of transfer attention from the likes of Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City and the Red Devils.

      And according to one cheeky fan, a secret transfer was sealed to take Leao to Old Trafford this morning.
      The prankster managed to edit the Portugal star’s Wikipedia page to say he had joined United in 2022 but is yet to make an appearance for his new club.
      However, they made a slight error by suggesting he made the switch in 2022 – because the transfer window does not open until January 1, 2023.
      The page was quickly corrected back to restoring Leao as an AC Milan, much to the delight of the San Siro faithful.

      But that was by no means the end of the drama as his page was still edited to add Leao’s nickname as Betinho.
      That came after his compatriot and third-tier player was somehow named on the Premier League website in the United squad as their new No11.
      The blunder caused much hilarity of social media – and even Betinho saw the funny side as he joined in with the fun.
      And in a further twist, the hacker managed to change Leao’s employers to crisis-club Coventry with a superb return of nine goals in just six Championship matches.

      Leao also had very brief stints with Arsenal, Nepali side Manang Marsyangdi Club, Exeter City and even Essex Senior League side FC Clacton as the brilliant battle raged on for the £86million-rated star.
      Leao, though, remains at AC Milan for now.
      Reports suggest City may be willing to offer Jack Grealish in a swap transfer to land the former Lille ace.
      However, the 27-year-old’s £300,000-per-week Etihad wages may well put Milan off.
      Leao is focused on his return to action with Milan on January 4 – but admitted he may well be open to a switch and has been enjoying watching Arsenal a lot this term.
      Asked about a possible transfer to a new league, the ex-Lille ace said: “Yes, in the future.
      “But now, I’m 100 per cent focused on Milan.
      “I’m at a top club and I’m under contract. I also like the city.
      “I’ve seen a lot of games this year, I like Arsenal, I think they play very well.”
      AC Milan chief executive Paulo Maldini is confident his club do not have to sell from a financial perspective – but admitted every player has a price tag.
      The former defender said on Leao: “He is a player of the highest level.
      “But not only him, also others have received offers.

      “If they show up anyway we have to see how to do it even if we don’t need to sell, our financial accounts are okay.
      “But the players that cannot be sold now no longer exist.”
      The winger made the shock move from Serie A to the Essex Senior League
