Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers has reportedly been contacted with regard to the United role, with The Daily Mail fancying his chances, but Luis Enrique (Goal) and Eric Ten Haag (Manchester Evening News) have denied links, while former Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane has ruled himself out of the running (The Star).
Mason Mount is reportedly ready to quit Chelsea due to feeling “under-appreciated” at Stamford Bridge (Express). Manchester City, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich have all been linked with the 22-year-old while the Liverpool Echo reports Mount is “open” to an Anfield move.
Donny van de Beek is ready to shrug off his Old Trafford frustrations and agree to a £25million move to Newcastle in January, according to the Daily Express – which also claims Jesse Lingard could join the Dutchman in making the same move.
