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

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

Friday morning's Manchester United transfer talk news roundup:

Manchester United have reportedly allowed Sergio Romero to return to Argentina ahead of a transfer away from Old Trafford.

Aware that he was now only regarded as third choice in the pecking order, Romero was left frustrated at the beginning of the season when he was unable to secure a move to another club.

However, with less than six months remaining on his contract, both parties are keen for the stopper to find a new team before the end of the January window.

According to the Manchester Evening News, the 33-year-old has already said his goodbyes to the United squad and staff.

The report claims that Romero is now back in his homeland ahead of completing a switch to Boca Juniors in the coming days.

Romero will leave United having been provided with 61 starts in all competitions during his four-and-a-half years at the club.



Liverpool 'join race for Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos'

Liverpool are reportedly exploring the possibility of signing Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos.

The 34-year-old remains an inspirational figure for Los Blancos, scoring three times in 16 outings this term, but his contract at the Bernabeu is due to expire this summer.

Ramos is believed to have turned down Madrid's latest offer and is now considering his options.

Manchester United and Manchester City have previously been linked with the central defender, but according to El Chiringuito, Liverpool have now joined the race.

Ramos has scored 100 goals in 666 appearances for Los Blancos since arriving from Sevilla in 2005, winning five La Liga titles and four Champions League crowns during his time at the club.

The World Cup winner is currently free to discuss a pre-contract with foreign clubs.
