4pm Manchester United news: Jose Mourinho fumes at Ed Woodward, Raphael Varane, Paul Pogba, Anthony Martial

Catch up on all the latest Manchester United news below, with midfield target Aaron Ramsey embroiled in a tug-of-war.

TRANSFER TIRADE

JOSE MOURINHO is fuming at Ed Woodward after the Man United CEO cancelled a January transfer meeting.

The Special One was unable to sign any of his defensive targets in summer and will be desperate to avoid a repeat performance in the next window.

ANT THE MAN FOR UNITED

ANTONIO CONTE is on Manchester United's wishlist to replace Jose Mourinho.

Conte is currently without a club after being sacked by Chelsea in the summer and it is understood he would prefer a move to Old Trafford.

RAPH TRADE

JOSE MOURINHO will be handed a £100million transfer war-chest in January in a bid to land Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane, say reports.

The Manchester United boss is hoping Madrid's turmoil on the pitch will convince the Frenchman to swap the Bernabeu for Old Trafford.

MOUR OF THE SAME

JOSE MOURINHO has come to the defence of Paul Pogba after he was mocked for his penalty run-up.

The Frenchman took 12 seconds to take his stuttered spot-kick, only to see it saved by Everton's Jordan Pickford – but netted on the rebound.

'KNEW WHERE HE WAS GOING'

JORDAN PICKFORD has revealed that Paul Pogba's bizarre run-up helped him save the penalty.

The Frenchman took 12 seconds to strike the ball – but was fortunate to score with the rebound.

MARTIAL LAW

JOSE MOURINHO expressed his delight at Anthony Martial's improved form this season but aimed a subtle dig at the player's friends.

He said: "In the end, you have the rewards of that hard work if they [players like Martial] don’t give up and they don’t have an entourage who supports their weaknesses."

SPRINT FINISH

PAUL Pogba's penalty run-up is so slow that Usain Bolt can run 100 metres faster, stats show.

The Frenchman's shuffling spot-kick technique at Old Trafford yesterday came under fire, with fans and pundits unsure if he knew what he was doing.

STEP TOO FAR

LUKE SHAW poked fun at his Manchester United team-mate Paul Pogba after his eccentric penalty run-up in the win over Everton.

Pogba took his usual bizarre approach to his spot kick at Old Trafford on Sunday, taking a staggering 27 steps that took almost 12 seconds before shooting for goal.

OOH AAR

MANCHESTER UNITED and Chelsea are set to battle it out for Arsenal star Aaron Ramsey.

The Daily Star claims Jose Mourinho and Maurizio Sarri are both keen on adding the Welshman to their ranks.

'CLEARLY HE DIVED'

ANTHONY MARTIAL was caught up in a "cheat" storm as Manchester United grabbed a vital victory against Everton.

Goodison boss Marco Silva called him a "diver" after he won a penalty in United’s 2-1 win. Pogba netted in the 27th minute after Jordan Pickford saved his initial spot-kick.

POG PAYS PENALTY

PAUL POGBA admits he may have to ditch his penalty run-up after being jeered by the crowd during Manchester United’s 2-1 win over Everton.

The Old Trafford crowd made their feelings known when Pogba stepped up for a spot-kick in the first half following a foul on Anthony Martial by Idrissa Gueye.

ANT'S FEELING 100

MAN UNITED secured a much-needed three points on Sunday after a 2-1 win over Everton – setting a new record over the Toffees in the process.

Anthony Martial’s sublime second-half effort, his fourth strike in as many games, was United’s 100th goal against their Merseyside rivals in the Premier League.
