12pm Manchester United news: David De Gea 'is staying', Jose Mourinho swoops for England youth star and Diogo Dalot move thanks to Ronaldo

Read on for more details, plus all the latest transfer news and gossip from around Old Trafford.

DIO-GO… AND DON'T LOOK BACK

DIOGO DALOT has revealed Cristiano Ronaldo urged him to quit Porto to join Manchester United.

Portuguese youngster Dalot, 19, joined the Old Trafford ranks in the summer from Porto with a little help from the Juventus star.

ALEXIT

ALEXIS SANCHEZ is reportedly determined to quit Manchester United for Paris Saint-Germain.

The Mirror claims he has been left spitting feathers after being left out of the Champions League win over Young Boys.

CUT IT OUT

PAUL POGBA shocked Manchester United staff by inviting a stylist to the Lowry Hotel on the eve of their game with Crystal Palace at the weekend.

United slipped to a 0-0 draw against the Eagles, with Jose Mourinho singling out the World Cup winner for criticism after another lifeless performance.

WOOL YOU BELIEVE IT

UNITED have confirmed the signing of England youth goalkeeper Paul Woolston after he impressed on trial.

The 20-year-old was released from Newcastle United in the summer, despite playing for his country at the U17 World Cup in 2015.

PUL-LING POWER

MANCHESTER UNITED have entered the race for Christian Pulisic.

Chelsea and Liverpool were reportedly frontrunners for the Dortmund man but Ed Woodward is hoping to tempt the American to Old Trafford.

NOISY NEIGHBOURS

JOSE MOURINHO has backed a move for next season to enhance the atmosphere inside Old Trafford.

The club are planning to move the 'singing section' into the Stretford End where there are 1,200 extra seats compared to their current location in the north east corner.

'CRIMINAL'

ROMELU LUKAKU has not had the best of seasons so far, failing to score since mid-September.

And United fans were not taking any prisoners after his poor first touch was exposed once again.

LOST HIS BOTTLE

JOSE MOURINHO is out of control at Man United and it is affecting the players' performances – according to former Reading, Portsmouth and Stoke striker Dave Kitson.

The Portuguese boss reacted to Marouane Fellaini's late winner against Young Boys by throwing a holder full of water bottles to the ground.

PER FOR THE COURSE

IVAN PERISIC has handed Man United a boost in their bid to sign the Croatian winger.

The Inter Milan star has insisted that it is his dream to play in the Premier League with his Italian side willing to part with him for £31m.

LUK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

ROMELU LUKAKU claims that he is one of Jose Mourinho's favourite players at the club, despite being dropped.

The Belgian has struggled for goals this season, having not scored since September 15 – but insists he is still highly thought of by the boss.

PHILLIN OVER

PHIL JONES was Manchester United's best player against Young Boys – but fans could not resist the urge to mock the centre-back after ANOTHER hilarious tumble.

Red Devils fans spent large parts of their Tuesday night twiddling their thumbs as they so often have this term as they failed to break down their opponents at Old Trafford.

DEVIL IN BALENCIAGA

MAROUANNE FELLAINI clearly feels the cold!

On the pitch, the Manchester United midfielder is the epitome of tough guy – and is uncompromising as they come.

DE STAYER

JOSE MOURINHO hailed David De Gea’s wonder save and then insisted the Spanish goalkeeper will be staying at Old Trafford.

De Gea’s 70th-minute stop kept United level with Young Boys before Marouane Fellaini plundered the only goal of the game in injury time to put the Red Devils in the Champions League knockout stage.

EPIC FELL

MAROUANE FELLAINI may have scored the winner for Manchester United against Young Boys – but for many his most memorable moment came in the tunnel before kick-off.

The rest of his team-mates were able to walk out at Old Trafford with the Champions League mascot. But not Marouane – who managed to LOSE his.

MARO JOY

MAROUANE FELLAINI'S stoppage-time winner saved Jose Mourinho's skin as Manchester United sunk Young Boys 1-0 to reach the Champions League KO stage.

MOUR PROBLEMS

MAN UNITED are expected to endure their worst ever Premier League season, according to the bookies.

David Moyes was at the helm during the campaign when they managed just 64 points – and they are on course to go below that after just 21 points in 13 matches.

LUK AWAY NOW

ROMELU LUKAKU'S blank against Crystal Palace extended his goal drought to 11 matches, but it is even worse at Old Trafford.

The Belgian has not scored in the Theatre of Dreams since March – to put that into context, an entire F1 season has taken place and around 92 million babies have been born worldwide.

MOURINH-GO?

NUMEROUS Man United legends have had their say over whether Jose Mourinho should remain in charge of the Old Trafford club.

Paul Scholes, Dimitar Berbatov, Gary Neville, Ryan Giggs and Rio Ferdinand are among those who have given their thoughts on whether the Portuguese boss should remain in the hotseat.

MISMANAGED

LUKE SHAW has admitted Manchester United players need "thick skin" to work under boss Jose Mourinho.

The Portuguese manager has yet again risked causing another wrath in the dressing room after the latest outburst of his players.

UTD'S AERIAL THREAT

JOSE MOURINHO has told his misfiring stars to stay at home if they cannot stand the heat of Old Trafford.

The United boss said: “If you feel pressure, stay at home. And when I say ‘home’, I don’t say ‘stadium home’, I say ‘home home and watch on TV’."

UTD FLOPS PAID MORE THAN CITY TOPS

MANCHESTER UNITED players are earning on average half a million pounds a year more than those of rivals Manchester City.

And the Red Devils squad are picking up almost DOUBLE what thrifty Tottenham pay their players.
