Manchester United were keen on adding a good centre back to their team this summer after Jose Mourinho identified that position as his team’s major problem.

However, the Portuguese boss couldn’t get the club to give him a centre back despite their best attempts to bring in some of the best defenders in the game.

Yerry Mina, Toby Alderweireld, and Rafael Varane were just some of the defenders that were linked with a move to Old Trafford, but none of them were signed by the Red Devils.

Fresh reports from Talksport is claiming that the Red Devils wanted to sign Lucas Hernandez from Atletico Madrid, but the  French man turned them down.

Hernandez has a 45 million pound release clause on his current deal, and Manchester United offered the Spaniard’s 70 million pounds, which caused to consider selling him.

However, Hernandez is reported to have turned down the offer and instead committed himself to a new deal at the Wanda Metropolitana.

Chelsea are set to lose one of their star midfielder in the next transfer windows as Maurizio Sarri settles into his preferred midfield pairing.

The former Napoli boss signed Jorginho and Matteo Kovacic this summer and the duo has been impressing in the Chelsea midfield as the former Premier League champions stay unbeaten in the division.

The impressive form of the starting midfielders has made it impossible for Cesc Fabregas to get playing time and 31 years old may be set to leave the Blues.

Reports on Sun Sport claims that the former Arsenal and Barcelona man is been tracked by Inter Milan and AC Milan as the Italians look to bolster their midfield.

Inter were desperate to sign Luka Modric in the last transfer window, but Real Madrid refused to sell, they seem to have turned their attention to Fabregas.

Milan signed Tiemeoue Bakayoko on-loan from Chelsea this summer but he has been far from convincing so far. They believe Fabregas would offer much more in terms of experience and skill.

Fabregas has just over 8 months left on his current deal, and the Italian teams are hoping Chelsea would agree to sell him in the next transfer window, or they would bag him for free next summer.

Manchester United did not have the most saga-free summer transfer window as Jose Mourinho complained relentlessly about not getting the signings he wanted.

The former Chelsea boss also had a falling out with some of his players, with Alexis Sanchez seemingly the only player that is immune to criticism at the moment.

One player who had a very publicised falling out with Jose Mourinho is Anthony Martial, and it seems the relationship between the pair is not getting any better soon.

Reports on Talksport claims that Mourinho has had enough of Martial and he is set to allow the French man to leave Old Trafford at the earliest possible chance they get.

Martial had wanted out during the last transfer window, but the Red Devils refused to sell. They also prefer to sell to a club in another country, but Martial wants to remain in the English top flight.

Reports claim that Mourinho no longer cares about which club he joins and simply wants him out of Old Trafford.
