In-demand Andrea Belotti has dismissed recent transfer links to Old Trafford, after signing a new long-term contract with Torino.

If Jose Mourinho wishes to still pursue the Italian striker, he will have to pay a substantial £84m release clause, according to the Daily Express.

In similar fashion, United target Bernardo Silva has admitted that one day he would like to play in the Premier League, but for now he is content at Monaco.

"For the moment, I feel very good at Monaco," Silva told Canal+.

The Portugal Under-21 International has attracted the interest of a number of big clubs following his fine spell of form in Ligue 1.

Jose Fonte, the Southampton central defender, has also caught the attentive eye of Mourinho.

With the 32-year-old declining a recent contract deal to stay at St Mary’s, he will be up for grabs in January, according to The Guardian.

Ronald Koeman is said to be targeting a number of United players, with a plan to bring Memphis Depay and Wayne Rooney to Goodison Park this January.

The Dutchman is ready to try his luck, according to the Express, even though Mourinho is reluctant to let his club captain leave.
