Atalanta midfielder Ederson has once again been linked with a move to Liverpool ahead of the January transfer window. The 25-year-old was one of the standout performers for Gian Piero Gasperini's side who defeated Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen to clinch the Europa League title last season.

Changing the man in charge of the team was not on the agenda when Manchester United spent £180million on players in the summer, but Ruben Amorim’s arrival to replace Erik ten Hag means more signings are required to realise the new boss’s vision.

Premier League side Leicester City have confirmed the appointment of Manchester United legend Ruud van Nistelrooy following his brief stint as caretaker at Old Trafford. The Dutch striker takes over following the sacking of Steve Cooper after just 12 games of the season with the Foxes occupying 16th place at the time.
