Finally, Dimitar Berbatov says there is merit to the Italian reports that suggest Manchester United will target former striker Carlos Tevez before the end of the January transfer window.

"There have been reports linking Carlos Tevez back to United on loan, I say why not?!" Berbatov declared to Betfair.

"When you have these loan deals it's good to get someone who knows the place, knows the situation of the club and the fans. Of course, he went to Manchester City but I'm sure the fans would welcome him back."

Finally, Manchester United are continuing to hold an interest in Bournemouth midfielder David Brooks, according to The Athletic.
