Manchester United got back to winning ways at the weekend when they came from behind to beat Brentford 2-1 at Old Trafford. It was a much needed win for Erik ten Hag - but what is happening in the rumour mill today?
A trio of European giants are said to be taking a look at a United star, with a possible transfer in mind - meanwhile, the Red Devils could look to ‘accept offers’ for a player who has failed to meet expectations at the club.

Hide AdBayern Munich, PSG and Marseille ‘keeping tabs’ on Marcus Rashford
Marcus Rashford is a transfer target for PSG, Bayern Munich and Marseille, according to a recent report from TEAMtalk. The home-grown England international has plenty of time left on his current deal - it is not due to expire until 2028, following the extension he signed in 2023. As such, United are under no pressure to sell him as things stand.
His form over the last year has proven to be a source of contention within the United fanbase. He has improved somewhat this season, but he is still far from his best - Rashford has scored four goals and has notched up three assists in 11 games across all competitions.
While the relationship between Rashford and Ten Hag has appeared strained at times, the Red Devils head coach did praise his attitude in a recent press conference.
Speaking to the media after United’s game against Porto earlier in the month, Ten Hag said: “I think we all know he is capable of a lot and when he has this attitude then he will score, as he did in Porto, but also giving assists as he did in Porto and today. But it starts also with fighting spirit and when we bring all this on the pitch, we have a team that can progress and play for trophies this season.”

Hide AdManchester United will ‘entertain’ offers made for Antony
Manchester United are set to listen to offers made for Antony in the January transfer window and could allow him to leave the club if a bid comes in that meets their valuation of the player, according to a report from Football Insider.
Thus far, Antony’s time at Old Trafford has been something of a disaster. Snapped up for a mammoth price of £82 million in 2022, the Brazilian international has scored just five Premier League goals in 56 games since his arrival in Manchester.
This season has shown no signs of improvement for the former Ajax star. He has scored just one goal in four appearances in all competitions, which came by the way of a penalty kick against Barnsley in the League Cup.
Nevertheless, Ten Hag has backed Antony in a recent interview, in which he said: “I've seen it so often when I was manager at Ajax but we haven't since this [at United].
