Man Utd transfer news: New left back option as Napoli given Alejandro Garnacho alternative
Share:
Manchester United take on Brighton in the Premier League on Sunday, but some are focusing just as heavily on the club's January transfer business. Ruben Amorim's team will end the weekend in the bottom half regardless of the result at Old Trafford. Nevertheless, a win would be hugely valuable as the head coach attempts to restore some pride in the second half of the season.
After reports that the entire United squad was up for sale for the right price, there will be plenty of attention paid to potential ins and outs between now and the end of the month. There's a feeling Amorim's side will need to sell before they can buy, with Marcus Rashford among the high-profile stars linked with an exit.
Rashford might not be the only casualty of a mid-season reshuffle, though. Here, Mirror Football provides the latest lines from around Old Trafford. Nuno Mendes is set to snub a move to Manchester United, according to L'Equipe. The Paris Saint-Germain left-back previously worked with Ruben Amorim at Sporting Lisbon, but appears prepared to stay in Paris.
The Portuguese international had been seen as a natural fit for the left wing-back slot in Amorim's 3-4-3 set-up. He is out of contract in 2026, and there had been suggestions United might test the water with a January bid. Mendes started for PSG on Saturday as they won 2-1 at Lens. They trailed at the break, but second-half goals from Fabian Ruiz and Bradley Barcola completed a turnaround.
