Monday's Manchester United transfer talk news roundup: Jesse Lingard, Dayot Upamecano, Jamal Musiala

Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for Manchester United on Monday, January 25.

The January transfer window is now open, with Manchester United continuing to be linked with a host of big names.

The Red Devils have already agreed a deal to sign Amad Traore, and could look to bolster their ranks further to build on an encouraging first half of the season.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news on possible comings and goings from Old Trafford.

Monday morning's Manchester United transfer talk news roundup:


Manchester United, Chelsea 'monitoring Ousmane Dembele'

Manchester United and Chelsea are reportedly both monitoring Ousmane Dembele's contract situation at Barcelona, with the attacker's future at Camp Nou far from secure.

The France international was linked with a move to United last summer, but the transfer window closed with the World Cup winner remaining in Spain.

Dembele has been a regular for Ronald Koeman's side this season, contributing six goals and three assists in 19 appearances in all competitions, but the attacker's contract is due to expire in the summer of 2022.

According to Sport, both United and Chelsea are keeping a close eye on developments at Camp Nou, with Barca allegedly reluctant to allow him to enter the final 12 months of his deal, meaning that he could be available for transfer at the end of the season.

The report, though, claims that Juventus and Bayern Munich are also admirers of the Frenchman and could make approaches either this summer or next January.

Dembele has scored 25 goals and registered 19 assists in 93 outings for Barca.



Jesse Lingard's Manchester United future 'depends on Liverpool result'

Manchester United will reportedly make a decision on Jesse Lingard's future once they have faced Liverpool in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Sunday evening.

The England international has only made three appearances for the Red Devils during the 2020-21 campaign and continues to be linked with a move away from the club.

Tottenham Hotspur, Sheffield United, West Ham United and Newcastle United are all said to be interested in signing the attacker on loan before the end of the month.

However, according to the Daily Mail, Lingard's future rests on United's result against Liverpool as progression to the fifth round for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side could mean that the 28-year-old will be required to stay at the club.

The report claims that a crowded fixture list due to FA Cup, Europa League and Premier League commitments could see Solskjaer decide to keep the academy product at Old Trafford for the second half of the season.

Lingard played 80 minutes of United's 1-0 win over Watford in the third round of the FA Cup on January 9.
