Man Utd transfer traffic to increase

Manchester United are the big Premier League club touted to make waves in the next two transfer windows, with Neymar, Ryan Bertrand and more waking to find themselves tipped to move to Old Trafford.

Of course, the Red Devils’ apparent interest in Barcelona and Brazil superstar Neymar is nothing new, but the rumours just won’t go away, with the latest gossip suggesting the Samba star could stand to make around £15m a year, as Man Utd and rivals Manchester City square up to scrap for the forward’s services.

While, well known for forking out big sums on young potential, the Old Trafford outfit are chasing another teenage sensation to add to their ranks in Renato Sanches of Benfica, though a whopping £30m is the mooted price for the Portuguese midfield prodigy.

Speaking of starlets, left back Luke Shaw’s continued injury absence may force Man Utd to move for a new full back this month, with Southampton and former Chelsea defender Ryan Bertrand the defender likely to be drafted in. Though, if £20m proves too steep for the Englishman’s signature, another former Blues man in Ashley Cole, currently a free agent, could be the interim answer.

Chelsea tracking Italian tactician?

It may seem as though Premier League champions Chelsea have already hired and fired all the top managers in world football at least once, but the Blues have apparently found themselves a fresh coaching candidate in current Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri.
