Premier League: Man Utd boss Solskjaer to recall Alexis Sanchez as shock transfer plan emerges

Man Utd directed Old Trafford flop Alexis Sanchez on loan to Inter Milan in last summer's transfer window.

Manchester United are planning to hand Alexis Sanchez a fresh start at Old Trafford with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer set to try and reintegrate the Chilean into his Red Devils squad ahead of next season. Football fans from around the world can purchase Premier League Football Tickets online to enjoy its stunning performances.

Sanchez flopped after rocking up at Manchester United in January 2018 and was last summer farmed out on loan to Inter Milan after Ed Woodward failed to find a buyer for the club’s highest earner.

Daily Star report

However, the Daily Star report Manchester United have informed Sanchez’s agents he would not be allowed to join Inter on a permanent basis or head to any other club because they want to recall the 31-year-old and give him a second opportunity to prove he can make it in Manchester.

Sanchez, who would sooner stay in Serie A than return to the Premier League, will be part of Manchester United’s traveling party which goes on their pre-season tour with Solskjaer eager to include him in his first-team plans.

Man Utd, who cannot recall Sanchez this month to help cope with Marcus Rashford's injury woe, will be well aware that his struggles while on loan at Inter have hardly made him a more attractive proposition for any would-be suitors.

While his stratospheric wages which can reach £500,000 a week with bonuses factored in, mean only a handful of clubs could realistically afford him if they were inclined to make a move.

Solskjaer and Manchester United will now take a chance on Sanchez who is under contract at Old Trafford until 2022 and may yet be sold on next year if round two of the experiment fails.

Sanchez from Arsenal to Man Utd

Sanchez scored just five goals in 45 appearances after leaving Arsenal for Manchester United in a swap deal which saw Henrikh Mkhitaryan head in the opposite direction two years ago.

The former Udinese and Barcelona star has registered one goal in seven appearances for Inter, although the first half of his campaign was marred by a tendon injury suffered back in October.

Following Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku’s departures, Man Utd have lacked a senior figure in attack this season and the Chile international’s availability would save Solskjaer from having to splash out on an experienced forward.

Solskjaer risks upsetting members of his squad by welcoming Sanchez back into the fold, though, with the No 7 unpopular at Carrington having failed to win over his team-mates in the wake of his January 2018 arrival.

Man Utd is facing the prospect of a summer rebuilding job with plenty of upheaval on the cards as Woodward and co. prepare to back Solskaer in the transfer market.

Sporting Lisbon’s Bruno Fernandes, who looks increasingly likely to stay put this month is top of Solskjaer’s wish list which also includes Leicester’s James Maddison, Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish and Ajax’s Donny van de Beek as options to inject some much-needed creativity into Manchester United’s midfield.

The Norwegian likes the look of Lyon’s Moussa Dembele, RB Leipzig’s Timo Werner, Borussia Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho, and Lille’s Boubakary Soumare as well.

Premier League: Man Utd Sporting boss gives insight into transfer

Man Utd is still looking to seal a deal for Sporting Lisbon midfielder Bruno Fernandes. Manchester United is trying its hardest to sign Sporting Lisbon midfielder Bruno Fernandes ahead of Friday’s transfer deadline. 

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is keen to add to his squad and push for a top-four place in the Premier League. Football fans from around the world can purchase Premier League Football Tickets online to enjoy its stunning performances.

Fernandes has been in sensational form for the Portuguese side this season netting 15 goals and providing 14 assists in all competitions.

Sporting are next in action tomorrow when they take on Maritime and manager Silas has given an update on how the transfer rumors are impacting the player.

Solskjaer about Man Utd

He said: “Very good, always in a good mood and always available to work. I realize that he is more anxious, but I did not notice it in training or the game. I think he will play and I have them I'm sure you will play well.”

He added: We missed a a lot of goals in the games of Benfica and FC Porto and Bruno was there in those games, but it was a question of effectiveness. Of course, when goals are scored, there is talk in a way about a certain performance and when the goals are not achieved.

Such goals already speak of an exhibition in another way. We did not deserve to lose. We were not inferior to FC Porto; on the contrary, we were superior. It has to do with whether we put the ball in there or not.

Man Utd is desperate to add to their midfield this month with Fred, Andreas Pereira, and Nemanja Matic the only players available to Solskjaer at present.

Fernandes would provide another option and a creative spark that has lacked for the Red Devils so far this season.

We are still working on one or two things so let’s see if the club gets it over the line, he said.

Man Utd boss Solskjaer also defended his position at the club following the victory in the FA Cup fourth round. I do not know what you have said and written, he said.

You can see everyone wanted us to fail but it does not bother me. I cannot be up and down emotionally. I’m happy but would not relax. Two big games coming up:

What Fernandes has said

Fernandes spoke numerous times about his future and suggested that he would like to move to the Premier League but these comments from the playmaker were the most telling in the summer.

“The president decides that, not me," he told. "I do not care about the market; I have talked about this many times. The only thing I can do now is that I need to catch the plane so I do not miss it. Will this be the last match for Sporting? I do not know it is the coach who decides.”

I said I would like to play in England, but I do not care about it right now. If it could be this season it could be when the club decides, I'm not in charge.

Fernandes' reaction

Reports in Portugal claimed that Bruno Fernandes was starting to feel uneasy about the situation regarding his future.

According to Record, the player told Sporting that he was not enjoying how the transfer saga was working out.

Tottenham were said to have made an offer of €60m for the midfielder, therefore triggering a clause in the player's contract that meant his club would have to pay him €5m due to a loyalty clause after they turned down an offer above €35m.

However, Sporting was said to be reluctant to pay the money and instead considered offering Fernandes a new contract worth €5m a year.

The Portuguese club was reportedly holding out for a fee of €70m, with super-agent Jorge Mendes involved in the deal.

The article in Record went on as far as to say that the player can no longer cope with the transfer saga but was not ready to force a move from his club to Spurs.

Fernandes opens up on failed move

The player admitted after the transfer window closed that he agreed a deal to join Spurs. But Tottenham did not have an agreement with Sporting over a fee for the player.

In an interview with GQ, Fernandes said: “As you all know, Tottenham made a lot of proposals for me. Everything was right with me, or practices should be. I never made any big demands; my manager was always dealing with the finances.”

It was and is my goal to play in England, Sporting know that everyone knows that, and there were conditions for things to be done.

But Sporting understood that the value was not enough and I have to respect the decision.

Premier League: Two new strikers Man Utd are interested in

Man Utd has registered a shock interest in signing Islam Slimani and Odion Ighalo on loan this month. Solskjaer is intense on bringing in a striker this month on loan resulting damage to Marcus Rashford.

Manchester United is exploring the potential to sign either Odion Ighalo or Islam Slimani on loan for the rest of the season, according to Sky Sports. Football fans from around the world can purchase Premier League Football Tickets online to enjoy its stunning performances.

The club had made Braut Haaland one of their first objectives ahead of January, but a deal broke down because of misgivings surrounding the structure of the deal.

Now Manchester United is looking for quick fixes to keep their hopes of a top-four finish alive. The club is facing rivalry for Slimani though, who is at present on loan at Monaco.

Slimani is at present on loan at Leicester and therefore problems are surrounding a possible switch this month.

The Red Devils are in the midst of an injury crisis in the final third, with top goalscorer Marcus Rashford ruled out for the next few months.

The England international’s sidelining means that Man Utd have only Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood to call upon to lead their line.

The Old Trafford outfit offloaded Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez in the summer transfer window with many of the Manchester United supporters perplexed by the lack of replacements for the experienced pair.

Manchester United is clearly now in need of reinforcements with the Premier League top-four hopefuls looking to the loan market in Search for a new striker.

Ighalo is currently on the books of Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua but has experience of the Premier League after his time with Watford.

Brendan Rodgers explanation Man Utd

Brendan Rodgers has explained that he believes a deal may be too complicated, something   Manchester United would need to untangle.

“I think that looks like it is probably going to be too complicated,” said Rodgers when quizzed about Slimani joining another club in this transfer window.

"There is a curiosity in him, but he is there at Monaco and due to be there for the term. I’m not sure if anything will happen on that or not, but it will just make it a little bit complicated.”

The Nigeria international is a predatory player in the opposition penalty box and has the potential to make Manchester United more clinical in front of goal.

Slimani is currently on loan from Leicester City to Monaco but it remains to be seen whether the Algerian would be available to move to Old Trafford for the second half of the campaign.

Manchester United lost 2-0 to Burnley on Wednesday night in a disappointing performance and result, with the club back in action this Sunday with an FA Cup clash against Tranmere Rovers.

Premier League: £67million attacker in a rush to agree Man Utd move

Another day full of reports about Man Utd target Bruno Fernandes and perhaps another day of frustration for the Old Trafford faithful.

The negotiations in this transfer saga has dragged on for far too long and that is annoying, not just for the fans but all parties involved, especially the player. Football fans from around the world can purchase Premier League Football Tickets online to enjoy its stunning performances.

The Times report

According to The Times, Fernandes is frustrated by the conduct of Sporting CP and the Red Devils during the negotiations but still wants to sign for the Old Trafford club as soon as possible.

Similarly, Portuguese source Record via Sport Witness has reported that a 25-year-old attacker is in a rush to agree a move to Manchester United this month.

Without the presence of star scorer, Rashford, Solskjaer’s team has failed to score a single goal in the last two games and the fixtures are going to get tougher.

After the FA Cup contest vs. Tranmere, Manchester United will have to face Manchester City in the League Cup and then they have PL games against Wolves and Chelsea, who are battling for the final Champions League qualification spot.

The Norwegian manager needs Fernandes more than ever and must pay up if needed to lure him. The Portuguese international, who has regularly scored and created goals for over a year is naturally an attacking midfielder but he can effectively play in the central midfield as well.

In the current campaign, so far, the former Serie A attacker has directly contributed in 29 goals 15 goals and 14 assists in just 25 appearances for the Liga Nos club. We shall see how the transfer saga unfolds in the final days of the winter transfer window.

Manchester United's planned transmission for Bruno Fernandes has bent following interfering from club co-chairman Joel Glazer.

Man Utd has been linked with the 25-year-old throughout the January transfer window and a deal was reportedly closed.

The Goal media report

However, the Goal is reporting that Glazer pulled the plug on a potential transfer due to concerns of the player's value. Manchester United chief representative Matt Judge and decision-making vice-chairman Ed Woodward endeavored to broker a deal until Glazer walked in.

Manchester United offered €50 million upfront for the Portuguese international with add-ons taking the deal up to €60.5 million. The sections comprised were allegedly thought too impractical by Sporting, counting Fernandes winning the Ballon d'Or.

As an outcome, the Portuguese club obvious to hold out for their innovative requesting price of €80 million.

The move wills likely anger Man Utd fans that are becoming increasingly vocal with their displeasure towards the Glazer ownership.

It is a bitter blow for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side that is in desperate need of reinforcements due to numerous injuries to key players.

They were left barehanded in their hunt of youngster Ering Haaland prior this month, with the youngster opting to move to Borussia Dortmund.

Manchester United has been linked with bringing players on loan in the last 24 hours, including Inter Milan midfielder Matías Vecino and former striker Carlos Tevez.

It is being stated that Tevez might be transported back Old Trafford on a credit spell until the end of the present season, according to Italian channel Tuttosport. Tevez, who has only counted three goals in 10 league games for Boca this term, is not in the plans of their present hierarchy.

Premier League: Is It Time For Man Utd To Sack Ole Gunnar Solskjaer?

Man Utd’s race in the top four battles came to a screeching halt on Wednesday night after Burnley defeated them at Old Trafford with a 2-0 scoreline. The Red Devils have now endured their worst start in 30 years following the defeat at the hands of the Clarets last night.

 Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has now lost three of his previous four matches in the Premier League which has racked up the pressure even more with many critics questioning his worth as the Manchester United boss. Football fans from around the world can purchase Premier League Football Tickets online to enjoy its stunning performances.

Solskjaer’s Nightmare Spell as the Man Utd Boss

Things are looking quite dire at the Theatre of Dreams as the Mancunian giants are currently trailing fourth-placed Chelsea by six points in the league standings.

Since being appointed as Manchester United’s permanent manager back in March last year, Solskjaer has taken charge of 45 matches, winning 19, drawing 11 and losing 15 of those games across all competitions.

The Norwegian head coach has only averaged 1.51 points per match during his managerial reign at Old Trafford stats via transfermarkt. It is only a matter of time before the Man Utd board has to decide on whether to stick with Solskjaer through thick and thin or to sack him in search of a favorable replacement.

Either way, there is no doubt that Solskjaer is wilting under pressure and is in dire need of securing a run of favorable results over the next few weeks.

Is It Time For Man Utd To Sack Ole?

If the situation does not improve in the coming weeks, then the Red Devils should entertain the idea of sacking their Norwegian manager.

One can argue whether a top club like Man Utd will be better-suited to be led by a head coach with more experience and pedigree than what Solskjaer currently offers in his CV.

With 14 league matches remaining in this Premier League campaign, the 46-year-old will have his hands full in coping with the mounting injury concerns that currently surround him at Old Trafford.

The Mancunian giants are set to face Manchester City, Wolver Hampton Wanderers, and Chelsea over the next few weeks.

The outcome of those fixtures could very well determine the fate of the young manager. The sensible decision for Ed Woodward and co. would be to give Solskjaer a few more matches to turn things around before deciding on his future at the club. After all, the best time to get a world-class manager would be in the summer.

Premier League: Solskjaer wants some new players at Man Utd

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer reportedly wants to add some new signings to his Man Utd squad during 2020. Despite three high-profile arrivals before the start of this season, there are increasing calls from supporters for Manchester United to bring in more fresh faces during January.

While Solskjaer has publicly insisted that he may opt for a quiet month on the transfer front. The Times claims that the Norwegian is keen to sign some new players. Football fans can purchase Premier League Football Tickets online to enjoy its stunning performances.

The report suggests that Solskjaer's biggest concern is in midfield, courtesy of frequent speculation regarding the future of Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay having recently sustained a serious knee injury.

Manchester United is allegedly contemplating an approach for Ajax midfielder Donny van de Beek, who is expected to move to a bigger club in one of the next two windows?

However, making an addition in the center of defense and attack also remains a priority for Solskjaer at a time when there remains uncertainty about his long-term future.

Man Utd manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer conceded his squad is stretched and made his strongest appeal yet for new signings to help his team after a miserable 2-0 home defeat to Burnley in the Premier League on Wednesday.

Man Utd Boss saying

“We are working to develop and get performers in, and confidently we can get something over the line. I think everyone can see these players are being strained, they are strained, and I have got completely no complaints on any of them since they give completely everything they have got,” the Manchester United boss said.

Three important players, midfielders Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay and top counting striker Marcus Rashford are out with long-term damages and having off-loaded numerous players in the summer, the Norwegian’s choices are limited.

We know we have to toughen, and we took that conclusion that some of these performers, we let them go because we desired to start anew with a clear vision on target in front of us and that means a certain kind of player in the team, he said.

This is our second downfall at home and first since August. I believed we had twisted that corner, Solskjaer added.

Interview with BT Sports

Questioned in his television interview with BT Sport about transmissions, Solskjaer said: “I recognize you were speaking about that and that is always going to be the conversation at the moment since we have started a clear-out and get-players-in occupation.”

Burnley enjoyed what was very nearly a routine win and yet it was the Lancashire club’s first at Old Trafford ever since 1962.

For me the most vital thing is that we have to perform on the arena and this was not good enough for a Manchester United squad said Solskjaer.

Former Man Utd defender Rio Ferdinand was scathing. I’m sitting here embarrassed. It is embarrassing to be here seeing this, the former defender said on BT Sport.

You cannot defend this. Fans were walking out after 85 minutes. People at the top need to see this and make changes and put a plan in place, Young kids in schools around the country would not be wearing Manchester United shirts, they would not want to come here and see this, he said.

Nothing there proposes this is laying the basis of upcoming. I do not see a passageway. Where is the target set on the wall, saying this is how we are going to get there? Money has been spent willy-nilly in the past seven years, what is to show?

Premier League: Man Utd explain stance on transfer negotiations amid Bruno Fernandes demand

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says Man Utd will not relinquish control of transfer negotiations amid uncertainty over a possible deal for Bruno Fernandes. Manchester United are puzzled that Sporting Lisbon abruptly enlarged their estimate of Fernandes to €80million £68.24m last week with no clarification.

Despite frenzied speculation that Fernandes had agreed personal terms, Manchester United and Sporting are nowhere near an agreement but could resume talks this week. Football fans from around the world can purchase Premier League Football Tickets online to enjoy its stunning performances.

There is concern at Manchester United about the ramifications a possible €80m deal for Fernandes could have on their summer business. Manchester United are sensible the Portugal international might present a standard issue in that the evaluations of other targets such as James Maddison of Leicester City would expand.

Fernandes signed a new contract with Sporting in November until 2023 and reputedly has a €100m release clause but Sporting is desperate to sell.

Manchester United have been burnt by forging alliances with super-agents Jorge Mendes and Mino Raiola since Ed Woodward assumed the executive vice-chairman post in 2013 and have operated more tentatively in the last two summer windows.

MEN report

Man Utd decided against a move for Fernandes in the summer and the MEN reported in August Mendes had touched base with Fernandes with the promise of a transfer this year.

“You know that discussion, Solskjaer said when asked if Manchester United should make a stand over-inflated fees. We could do that later maybe. Of course, we do not want to inflate the prices. I think that is important - that we use common sense.”

"There are other kinds of stuff, too, when you sign performers, that you have to remain in control. You cannot give agents control by giving buyout clauses and stuff. That has been touted around. For me, we have to be in control."

Fernandes joined Sporting in 2017 after spending four years in Italy with Udinese and Sampdoria and has attained 19 Portugal caps. He has scored 15 goals and assisted another 13 for Sporting this term.

Should Fernandes stay in Lisbon beyond deadline day on January 31, he could come up against Manchester United in the Europa League knockout stages.

It is fair to say Bruno Fernandes raised one or two eyebrows with his antics at the end of Sporting Lisbon’s defeat to Braga last night.

Portugal international was on the end of a 2-1 defeat in what might be his Sporting farewell as transfer rumors linking him to Manchester United continue to intensify.

Daily Mirror report about Man Utd

The Daily Mirror is among the sources to state that the Fernandes to Man Utd deal seems to have reached a breakthrough, but for the time being the 25-year-old did not look a happy man last night.

Watch the video above as Fernandes storms off at the end of the defeat to Braga, failing to acknowledge the club’s fans and shoving a TV camera.

Manchester United fans will just hope he can make his way to Old Trafford soon and put this disappointment behind him.

The 25-year-old looks a potential world-class talent who would undoubtedly strengthen what has been an area of weakness in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s squad in recent times.

Premier League: Ryan Giggs names two players Man Utd should sign this month

Ryan Giggs explains why he would like to see Man Utd sign Jack Grealish or James Maddison this month. Ryan Giggs believes that Manchester United should be considering making moves to sign Jack Grealish or James Maddison in the January transfer window.

The Red Devils are inevitably being linked with a host of potential signings this month as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer ponders adding to his squad in the mid-season window. Football fans can purchase Premier League Football Tickets online to enjoy its stunning performances.

Solskjaer’s men are currently outside the top four as things stand and the Red Devils have struggled to find consistent form in the top flight all season.

Premier League: Ryan Giggs names two players Man Utd should sign this month

Former Manchester United midfielder Giggs feels that the Red Devils are in dire need of a player such as Aston Villa’s Grealish or Leicester City’s Maddison to help them unlock the door in certain games.

Speaking in an interview, Giggs said: “I do not think Solskjaer has got the players.

“I think he is probably a couple of players short in actually changing that way of playing.

“That No.10, that focal point and also a midfielder, whether Pogba’s that, he is been so inconsistent. Obviously, on his day he could be that player. But they are missing a Grealish or a Maddison, a player like that which can unlock the door.”

Grealish has scored seven goals and made five assists in the Premier League this season. Maddison has netted six goals and made three assists in the top flight so far this term.

Man Utd will return to Premier League action on Wednesday night when they take on Burnley at Old Trafford.

Jack Grealish makes Man Utd transfer decision

Jack Grealish will put off any move to Manchester United until the summer, reports suggest. The Aston Villa captain has been strongly linked with United after an impressive start to life back in the Premier League following promotion last season.

He scored a brilliant goal in Villa's 2-2 draw at Old Trafford last month. As Manchester United look to sign Bruno Fernandes this month it seems Grealish has decided not to decide on his next club until the summer, according to a report by the Daily Mirror.

The report says Grealish has told Man Utd he will reject a move this month and remain at Villa Park for the rest of this season. However, it is claimed Grealish has also put talks about his future on hold until the summer when United might look to sign him.

Meanwhile, Inter Milan has opened fresh discussions to sign Tahith Chong reports in Italy say.

Di Marzio claim for the second time in a few days, that Inter has made contact over the Manchester United winger, who is out of contract in the summer.

The report adds Inter directors were impressed with the youngster and will aim to make a move happen in January. Finally, Manchester United has reportedly sent scouts to watch Fenerbahce’s young goalkeeper Altay Bayindir.

Turkish newspaper Sozcu suggests Manchester United's chief scout and his team are closely following the progress of the Turkish goalkeeper and reportedly went to watch him in action last weekend.

Man Utd confident they will seal Maddison transfer

Manchester United is confident they can lure James Maddison from Leicester City, according to reports. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has identified the playmaker as the perfect addition to his midfield as the Manchester United boss aims to build his squad around young, British talent.

The Manchester Evening News claim Maddison fits that bill and Manchester United are optimistic about sealing the transfer of the 23-year-old. Manchester United’s confidence stems from the fact, Maddison is a childhood United fan and is close friends with Harry Maguire.

Leicester sold Maguire to United, last summer and the Red Devils think his friendship with Maddison could be vital in convincing him to leave the Foxes.

Premier League: Ryan Giggs names two players Man Utd should sign this month

 

Manchester United hope Maguire can sway Maddison towards Old Trafford, just as England duo Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard did with the center-back before his switch.

Brendan Rodgers has already warned Manchester United off moving for Maddison in January and the player’s representatives would be surprised if the Manchester club did make contact this month.
