Good morning football fans
Manchester United have overtaken Liverpool in the race for Argentina’s World Cup hero Enzo Fernandez, according to journalist Bruno Andrade.
The 21-year-old picked up the Young Player of the Tournament award for his superb performances in Qatar.
And his displays on the biggest stage have attracted interest from Jurgen Klopp’s men.
But it is now being reported that Erik ten Hag’s side are leading the way to sign the Benfica man.
On Friday night, Andrade tweeted: “There are already ongoing conversations between all involved.
“Red Devils are even willing to beat the €120M clause and avoid any competition.”
Meanwhile, Eddie Howe is hoping to pull off another major Newcastle signing in January amid links with France star Marcus Thuram.
He said: “We would love another transfer like (Bruno Guimaraes) because I thought it was transformational for the team and for the group.
“They are difficult players to find but that’s our job to try and find them and we will endeavour to do that.
“I am not pretending to watch players, I am watching them, with a view to signing them.”
