Find out all the latest news and transfer gossip from Manchester United with our daily round-up.

POWER PRINCE

MANCHESTER UNITED'S take over by Saudi Prince Mohammad Bin Salman has moved closer as SunSport reveals that the Premier League can do NOTHING to prevent it.

While English football has an owners and directors test, the league are not able to block investment from an individual who would be able to invest in other British companies unless the government directs them to do so.

SPECIAL BAN

JOSE MOURINHO has been charged by the FA after being caught swearing on camera as Manchester United beat Newcastle 3-2.

The Special One was caught apparently mouthing  “f*** off sons of b*****s” in his native Portuguese and could face a touchline ban for the game at Chelsea this weekend if found guilty.

CARRICK HITS BACK

MICHAEL CARRICK has hit back at Manchester United legends for claiming that the players aren't giving their all.

Paul Scholes and Rio Ferdinand have been scathing in their criticism of some of the team's performances this season – but Carrick claims they are wrong to question players' attitudes.

TOBY OR NOT TOBY?

MANCHESTER UNITED could risk losing out to Barcelona in their pursuit of Toby Alderweireld.

With Samuel Umtiti a long term absentee, the Catalans are lining up a move for the Spurs centre-back in January.

MARI-GOLD

ANGEL DI MARIA could be in line for a return to English football, three years after leaving Old Trafford following a disastrous £59.7m move.

Red Devils boss Jose Mourinho was a fierce critic of Louis Van Gaal's decision to sell the Argentine at a £15m loss just just one season into his United career.

GLAZE OVER?

MANCHESTER United could be set for a major cash injection from a Saudi Arabian prince – as he looks to rival Manchester City's Middle Eastern owners in the global football business.

Mohammad bin Salman is worth around £850billion and is said to be interested in one day replacing the Glazers as the Red Devils' owner.
