Wednesday's Manchester United transfer talk news roundup: Paul Pogba, Moises Caicedo, Kingsley Coman

Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for Manchester United on Wednesday, January 6.

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.

Wednesday morning's Manchester United transfer talk news roundup:


Paul Pogba 'unlikely to leave Manchester United in January'

Wantaway Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba is set to stay at Old Trafford until the end of the season, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

The World Cup-winning Frenchman is being linked with moves to Juventus and Real Madrid after agent Mino Raiola claimed that his days in Manchester are numbered.

However, given the financial implications of the coronavirus pandemic, teams would struggle to finance big-money moves for players of Pogba's calibre midway through the season.

Speaking to Sky Sports News regarding Pogba's future, Romano said: "I think Paul Pogba is staying. From talking to people around the player and around his agent, Mino Raiola, the feeling is that it's really difficult for a transfer to happen in January.

"It's really complicated for Juventus to spend €100m (£90.4m) on a player and it's the same for Real Madrid, who are not signing any player in January. I don't expect Paris Saint-Germain to bid for Pogba right now.

"Pogba is respecting Manchester United and also the manager. He's staying until the summer and then we'll have Paul Pogba on the market."

The 27-year-old - who has scored two goals and set up three more across all competitions this season - still has 18 months left to run on his current deal with the Red Devils.



Chelsea to rival Manchester United for Moises Caicedo?

Manchester United are reportedly facing competition from Premier League rivals Chelsea for Ecuador teenager Moises Caicedo.

The 19-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford in recent weeks after bursting onto the scene with Independiente del Valle.

Ecuadorian news outlet El Telegrafo reports that Chelsea as well as Dutch giants Ajax have registered their interest in the midfielder, who is valued at around £4m.

Independiente del Valle general manager Santiago Morales has admitted that Caicedo is likely to leave the club this year.

"There is interest from various teams for Moises Caicedo and we believe that we will not have him this year," Morales told Radio La Red.

In a separate interview with Machdeportes, Morales also added that they "have two strong teams from Europe" interested in the teenager and that "there is another club interested in England" along with Manchester United.

Caicedo came through the ranks with Independiente del Valle and made his senior debut in October 2019, before receiving his first national team cap a year later.
