They had their people in Spain at the weekend watching Real Sociedad\u2019s win over Barcelona, and though they were also there to check on Marcus Rashford \u2013 who they apparently want back in the summer \u2013 La Real\u2019s Spain forward is reportedly very much on their radar. Oyarzabal, 28, has a \u20ac75m (\u00a365m) release clause, mind, and a summer swoop might be more likely than a move now.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Another United target is R\u00faben Neves, though they may face stern competition for the midfielder from Real Madrid. Neves is in the final six months of his contract with Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia and is thought to be keen on a move back to Europe. Meanwhile the latest rumoured contenders for the permanent manager\u2019s gig at Old Trafford include Frank Lampard of Championship table-toppers Coventry, Getafe\u2019s Jos\u00e9 Bordal\u00e1s and the Rayo Vallecano manager, I\u00f1igo P\u00e9rez.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">David Moyes needs an attacking full-back and Sevilla\u2019s Juanlo S\u00e1nchez could be just the man. The local outlet Vamos Mi Sevilla tells us that Everton are preparing a \u00a310m offer, with the Spanish club likely to secure some add-ons. Also on the shopping list at Hill Dickinson Stadium is Sunderland\u2019s Wilson Isidor, according to the Mirror.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Crystal Palace\u2019s turbulent month is not getting any calmer as speculation continues to swirl around Jean-Philippe Mateta. The French striker is firmly in the sights of Juventus and Aston Villa in particular. Sky Sports reports that Juve are offering to stump up \u20ac30m (\u00a326m), comprising an initial \u20ac2m loan fee ahead of a \u20ac28m obligation to buy that would be triggered in the summer. But they <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/football\/2026\/jan\/20\/arsenal-ethan-nwaneri-marseille-loan-oleksandr-zinchenko-transfers\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">may be outbid by Aston Villa<\/a>, who could also offload Evann Guessand in the opposite direction. Palace have expressed an interest in the C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire international.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Another player possibly heading for the Villa Park exit at the end of the season is Emiliano Mart\u00ednez, and Inter are the likeliest suitors for the 33-year-old Argentina goalkeeper.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Tuesday\u2019s Troy Parrott rumour had him in Leeds\u2019s sights; Wednesday\u2019s puts the Republic of Ireland striker in the competing visions of Fulham, Wolfsburg and Real Betis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Cash-strapped Sheffield Wednesday could be about to offload their talented 17-year-old wing-back Yisa Alao to Chelsea for a greatly needed six-figure fee. Manchester United and Liverpool have also shown interest but Stamford Bridge is now Aloa\u2019s likelier destination.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">And Celtic fans\u2019 thirst for signings may be partly slaked by the reported arrival of Tomas Cvancara from Borussia M\u00f6nchengladbach. The tall striker is set to sign on an initial loan with the Hoops having an option to buy in the summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester United transfer gossip abounds once more, Mikel Oyarzabal the latest striker in their sights.
