Major developments have occurred over night at Old Trafford with some deals for players moving a significant step closer. The young Brazilian forward Kenedy is the player making the headlines today and despite reports yesterday that Barcelona have been sniffing around, United seem to be at a stage of tabling official bids for the exciting prospect. The 19 year-old has burst onto the scene with Fluminese this season and his playing style has been likened to Neymar’s.
Most of United’s transfer rumours still seem to be circulating around the signing of a new midfielder to provide creativity and a central defender to provide stability. The rumour mill identifies two players that United have been linked with heavily in the past but have fallen out of the spotlight in recent weeks.
It is forgotten also that added to United’s star filled squad are many quality players out on loan and there is a lot of speculation as to whether they will return to Old Trafford and into the plans of Louis Van Gaal, sign permanent deals with the clubs they’re at, or return to be sold or loaned out again. The rumour mill consider two players, one of which could be staying and one that looks set to leave.

Real Madrid do not wish to make their loan deal for the Mexican poacher permanent so Chicharito is expected to return to Old Trafford at the end of the season. (DAILY STAR)
