Hello football fans

Manchester United have overtaken Liverpool in the race for Argentine World Cup hero Enzo Fernandez, according to journalist Bruno Andrade.

The 21-year-old won the Young Player of the Tournament award for his superb performances in Qatar.

And his performances on the biggest stage have sparked the interest of Jurgen Klopp’s men.

But it is now reported that Erik ten Hag’s side are paving the way to sign the man from Benfica.

On Friday evening, Andrade tweeted: “There are already conversations going on between everyone involved.

“The Red Devils are even ready to beat the €120m clause and avoid any competition.”

Meanwhile, Eddie Howe is hoping to pull off another major signing from Newcastle in January amid links with French star Marcus Thuram.

He said: “We would like another transfer like (Bruno Guimaraes) because I thought it was a transformation for the team and for the group.

“They are hard to find players but it is our job to try to find them and we will try to do that.

“I don’t pretend to watch players, I watch them, with a view to signing them.”
