Sunday's Manchester United transfer talk news roundup: Yves Bissouma, Daniel James, Brandon Williams

Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for Manchester United on Sunday, December 20.

A frustrating summer transfer window has now closed with Manchester United having missed out on a number of their top targets, including Jadon Sancho.

The Red Devils were busy on deadline day, though, bringing in Edinson Cavani, Alex Telles and Facundo Pellistri, in addition to agreeing a deal to sign Amad Traore in January. Attention will now switch to other business they may do when the window reopens in the winter.

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

Sunday morning's Manchester United transfer talk news roundup:


Real Madrid to rival Manchester United, Liverpool for Yves Bissouma?

Real Madrid could reportedly battle Manchester United and Liverpool for the signature of Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Yves Bissouma during the January transfer window.

The 24-year-old's form this season is believed to have attracted the attention of Liverpool, with the Reds thought to be considering launching a bid at the start of 2021.

United have also been credited with an interest in the Mali international, but according to Defensa Central, the midfielder's recent performances have drawn admiring glances from the Spanish capital.

The report claims that Zinedine Zidane's side have identified Bissouma as a cheaper alternative to the likes of Manchester United's Paul Pogba and Rennes youngster Eduardo Camavinga.

The former Lille midfielder, who has a contract at the Amex until the summer of 2023, is thought to be valued by Brighton in the region of £30m.

Bissouma has contributed one goal in 12 Premier League appearances for Graham Potter's side this term.



Daniel James 'not interested in leaving Manchester United'

Daniel James reportedly has no intention of leaving Manchester United during the January transfer window.

The 23-year-old was a regular during his first season at Old Trafford, making 46 appearances in all competitions, including 33 outings in the Premier League.

The Wales international has only made three league appearances this term, though, and could fall further down the pecking order when Amad Diallo arrives from Atalanta BC at the start of 2021.

Leeds United have again been linked with a move for the attacker, who scored against Istanbul Basaksehir in the Champions League towards the end of last month.

However, according to the Manchester Evening News, James is not interested in leaving Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side in January despite his lack of action.

The former Swansea City youngster, who is also believed to be attracting interest from Everton, has not featured for United in the Premier League since the goalless draw with Chelsea on October 24.
