Rumour Reel: Sunday’s snippets

Spring clean at Old Trafford

Man Utd boss Jose Mourinho told fans that Wayne Rooney and Ashley Young wouldn’t leave in January, and he was right too. That doesn’t mean they won’t depart soon enough though, with newspapers suggesting there will be a clear-out at United.

Wayne Rooney and Ashley Young are expected to be joined by Maroune Fellaini out of the revolving door, in order to free up some cash to make a big-money assault on signing French striker Antoine Griezmann. Mourinho views the Atletico Madrid star as the future of his attacking options.

Morata fancies Chelsea

We spoke during January about the possibility of Alvaro Morata coming to English football, to break his way free from a miserable time at Real Madrid, and get more time on the field of play. He has been scoring recently too, and is sure to be on the watch-list of a number of big clubs across Europe.

Rumours suggest a move to Stamford Bridge is the player’s preferred option, and that would make him a ready-made replacement for Diego Costa who, himself, wants a transfer to China. That’ll be great to hear for Chelsea fans and the player will, surely, be joining a league winning side.

Arsenal must move quick

The on-going contract talks between Arsenal and their star man Mesut Ozil don’t appear to be going forward quickly enough for anyone concerned, and fans are beginning to worry that they may lose one of the side’s better performers in the summer.
