NEWS NEWS BLOG SPORT brings you the latest transfer news coming out of Old Trafford.

 

Felipe Anderson’s representatives have denied their client could be on the move soon.

The Lazio midfielder was on Manchester United’s radar in the summer, but United failed to step up their interest.

Recent reports in Italy indicated United had agreed a deal for the Brazilian midfielder.

But the agency Base Soccer representing Anderson, released the following statement that was picked up by ESPNFC to quash the reports.

This read: “Contrary to reports, Felipe Anderson has not agreed a deal to leave Lazio and join anyone else.

“Felipe is doing well at Lazio and is only focused on doing his best for them."

The Red Devils will reportedly revive their interest in Harry Kane.

Louis van Gaal was thought to have made a £40million bid for the Tottenham ace over the summer, but this was refuted by both clubs.

United fired blanks in their Capital One Cup fourth round defeat to Middlesbrough on Wednesday, and The Sun claim Van Gaal is desperate to solve his striking problems.

The report suggests United will step up their interest in Kane, although Van Gaal is thought to be aware that the Red Devils will have to break the British transfer record in order to do so.

Manchester United are reportedly set to miss out on Nicolas Gaitan once again.

 

The Argentine international has been continually linked to Old Trafford in recent years.

But according to Portuguese A Bola, Gaitan is set to sign a new deal with Benfica.

Gaitan only penned a contract extension with the club last November.
