ayoze perez
Manchester United are looking to sign Ayoze Perez from Newcastle United in the January transfer window. According to reports by Metro, Louis van Gaal is keen add in a forward player as Memphis Depay and Wayne Rooney haven’t impressed the United boss in the opening nine games of the Premier League.
The Red Devils are currently at the third spot on the table with majority of goals coming from Juan Mata and the 19-year-old Frenchman Anthony Martial. United are keen to bring more players to Old Trafford, who may give United’s Dutch master more options in the attack.
The 22-year-old Spaniard joined Newcastle last summer for £1.5m from Tenerife. Last season, he netted seven goals in the league and has attracted attention of the big clubs in the English league. According to Newcastle Chronicle, Van Gaal sent scouts in the summer to monitor Ayoze’s progress. Ayoze has been one of the best players at Newcastle, who are currently struggling in the relegation zone.


Tottenham are also reportedly interested in signing the Spanish forward as they are hoping to add a striking partner for Harry Kane in the January transfer window.

No One Informed Me Van Gaal Would Be Sacked - Daley Blind

Daley Blind insists he was not told that Manchester United had sacked Louis van Gaal before the club's confirmation on Monday evening. Van Gaal guided the club to victory in the FA Cup on Saturday but failure to secure Champions League football, coupled with the team’s uninspiring playing style, has led to the Dutchman’s dismissal. But Blind, who has worked under Van Gaal at United and the Netherlands national side, insists he kept in the dark over the managerial change at Old Trafford and says there were no signs to suggest the 64-year-old would be leaving after Saturday's final at Wembley. “I follow the news just like you,” said Blind, who was speaking shortly before Van Gaal's sacking on Monday evening. “The media have him sacked him 82 times this season I believe. It could be that they are right once. “But Manchester United have no official statement brought out. And the training I have looked on my phone. I was not told anything. “I would be sorry if it i...

Euros Disappointments a lesson for Martial, says Deschamps

  France coach Didier Deschamps believes Anthony Martial is a revitalised player after looking "exhausted" at Euro 2016. Following a fine first season in the Premier League with Manchester United, in which he scored 11 goals in 31 appearances, Martial failed to have much of an impact on France's run to the final on home soil. The 20-year-old played just 69 minutes across three matches, but opened the scoring in France's 3-1 friendly victory over Italy in Bari on Thursday for his first senior international goal. And Deschamps, attempting to lead France's recovery after their final defeat to Portugal in July, reckons a refreshed Martial will learn lessons from his Euros disappointment. "He was expecting more from the Euros and I was too," Deschamps said. "But, things were difficult. He has to learn from this to progress.  "He was the first to say he was not satisfied. Deschamps continued: "He arrived there exhausted because he had a very l...
