Sunday morning's Manchester United transfer talk news roundup:
Manchester United 'want to sign Erling Braut Haaland over Jadon Sancho'

Manchester United are reportedly ready to drop their interest in Jadon Sancho in order to pursue a move for his Borussia Dortmund teammate Erling Braut Haaland.
The Red Devils were strongly linked with Sancho during last summer's transfer window but were not prepared to meet Dortmund's £107m asking price for the England international.
The former Manchester City youngster has struggled for form this season, failing to score in 11 Bundesliga appearances, and according to The Mirror, United are now debating whether to reignite their interest ahead of the 2021-22 campaign.
The report claims that the 20-time English champions would rather prioritise a move for Haaland, who was a target for the club before he left Red Bull Salzburg for Dortmund in January 2020.
Sancho is still said to be on United's radar, but Haaland is the number one choice, with the Norway international scoring 33 times in 32 appearances for BVB since his arrival.
The 20-year-old is unlikely to be allowed to leave Signal Iduna Park this summer but is expected to depart in 2022 when a release clause in his contract comes into play.
Manchester United 'will not loan Amad Diallo back to Atalanta'

Manchester United are reportedly not interested in loaning Amad Diallo back to Atalanta BC for the remainder of the 2020-21 campaign.
The Red Devils agreed a deal for the 18-year-old over the summer, and he is due to arrive at Old Trafford in the coming days, having finally received a work permit.
Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini said on Saturday that the Italian club were keen to keep Diallo on loan until June, telling reporters: "There is an internal solution that could be very interesting, which is Amad Diallo. Clearly, Manchester United own him, but he could remain with us for a few more months.
"I really like him, he's only 18, and I'd like him to stay until June, but obviously it depends on his club."
However, according to the Manchester Evening News, the 20-time English champions 'have no plans' to allow the right-sided attacker to remain with Atalanta until the summer.
The report claims that United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is keen to introduce the teenager into the first-team squad 'as soon as possible', suggesting that he could be involved in the second half of the season.
Diallo, who was born in the Ivory Coast before moving to Italy at a young age, has made two substitute appearances for Gasperini's side during the 2020-21 campaign.
The youngster will allegedly cost United an initial €25m (£22.7m), but the deal could eventually rise to €40m (£35.5m).
