Manchester United is getting ready to play again with their first team after the winter break. On Sunday at 4:30 p.m., Erik ten Hag and his team will go to Newport, a League Two club, to play Newport in the FA Cup.
After a restart, Newport beat non-league Eastleigh to move on to the fourth round and play United. At this very time, the two clubs, which are 75 spots apart in the pyramid and three divisions apart, will meet on TV.
With one eye on the January transfer window, United is still linked to a number of players. However, they probably won’t make any purchases because of ongoing FFP worries.
Karim Benzema is said to be being considered because the former Real Madrid star is planning to leave the Saudi Pro League this month. The Frenchman is said to be determined to leave, and Manchester United is said to be one of the teams considering a high-profile move for the 36-year-old scorer.
There have been claims from the Spanish newspaper Marca that the club and his representatives have talked.
When the spy walks in, the Martinez door opens.
The representative for Inter forward Lautaro Martinez said that the two sides have not yet agreed on the terms of a new deal, but they stressed that the attacker is happy at the San Siro.
United wants to add more scorers, but because of worries about the FFP this month, they probably won’t be able to make a stable signing until the summer.
Martinez, whose deal has two and a half years left, would not be bought for a small amount of money. But if everyone can’t agree, United might find a way to move forward.
Teamtalk said that Agent Alejandro Camano told Radio Sportiva the following:
“Because Lautaro is so high up, it’s hard to come to an agreement; there are many things to talk about.” There is still no real deal today, so let’s stay calm and keep talking to Inter all the time.
“Right now, the event and the team are the most important things, and he’s happy.” When Lautaro got there, he was still a young child but had grown up a lot.
“Right now, he’s a fully developed athlete and captain. His contract is good for two and a half years, so there’s plenty of time to talk, but we should still negotiate.”Right now, winning Serie A and the Champions League is the most important thing.
