And if dreaming of recruiting Eden Hazard is not enough, our round-up below of the latest United stories also reveals how a psychologist thinks the United boss should treat his players.

MARCO TO MAN U?

MANCHESTER UNITED have received a boost in their bid to sign Real Madrid's mercurial midfielder Marco Asensio.

The Spanish club have slapped a £100m price tag on him as they could be tempted to sell after poor start to the season.

JOSE: EDEN MEANS TITLE HEAVEN

JOSE MOURINHO believes Eden Hazard will win the title for Chelsea this season – and would love to sign the player he belives was partly responsible for his last axing as Bluesboss.

The United chief claims "history shows" Chelsea always lift the crown when Hazard is the best player in the Premier League.

BE MOUR HAPPY

JOSE MOURINHO must stop feeling sorry for himself and make stars like Paul Pogba feel special – according to a sports psychologist.

In a case study for SunSport, Steve Pope says the United manager must change his attitude because "the players reflect the manager's attitude".

EDEN LET ME DOWN

JOSE MOURINHO has supported Eden Hazard’s admission that his poor form contributed to his Chelsea sacking in 2015.

In the first season of the Portuguese’s second stint at Stamford Bridge, with the Belgian in blistering form, Chelsea won the Premier League title – before Hazard became far more erratic.

UTD ARE BY SARR THE BEST

MAURIZIO SARRI claims Manchester United have the Premier League's best team individually – but trail neighbours City for collective ability.

United visit Sarri's Chelsea side on Saturday lunch-time with the Italian claiming he is surprised by the visitors' indifferent start to the season.

PSDG… GEA CHANGE IN FRANCE?

BIG-SPENDING PSG are the bookies' favourites to sign David de Gea in January.

Manchester United triggered a one-year extension to his contract until the summer – but the Spain keeper is yet to commit his longer-term future to Old Trafford.

UTD'S LATE PAYMENT

MANCHESTER United and Jose Mourinho have both been hit by Uefa for delaying the start of their Champions League draw with Valencia.

Mourinho blamed the police for his side's late arrival at Old Trafford earlier this month but United were fined £13,200 in all for two offences – arriving and kicking off late.

GOOD MOURNING

JOSE MOURINHO has declared that he will not celebrate in front of the Chelsea fans if his latest side Manchester United win on Saturday.

The Portuguese boss won three Premier League titles at Stamford Bridge and is still well thought of by the Blues faithful.

FORWARD, NOT BACK

WAYNE ROONEY has hit out at Manchester United's tactics under Jose Mourinho after claiming they were always 'attack, attack, attack'.

The Red Devils have already lost three times this season with the Portuguese boss being blasted for parking the bus at times.

JOSE IS HERE

JOSE MOURINHO will be on the touchline against Chelsea on Saturday – as the Premier League give him extra time to answer for his swearing antics.

The United boss faces a potential two-match ban following their win over Newcastle United two weeks ago.

'HE'S ON FIRE'

PAUL POGBA has revealed his favourite player in the Premier League ahead of Manchester United's clash against Chelsea.

The Frenchman believes Eden Hazard is on fire at the moment as the Red Devils look to end the Blues' unbeaten run.

FAMOUS FIVE

MAN UNITED'S record goalscorer Wayne Rooney has revealed the five players that pushed the Red Devils to greatness.

The ex-England skipper won 16 trophies during his time at Old Trafford with himself among those to have controlled the dressing room.

BLUE MAN U

PAUL SCHOLES believes Man United's season will go from bad to worse when they travel to Chelsea on Saturday.

The former Red Devil has been highly critical of his old club this campaign and thinks they will lose at Stamford Bridge.

HARRY'S DREAM

HARRY MAGUIRE has revealed his ambitions of playing in the Champions League.

The Leicester City and England defender has been targeted by Manchester United, who have been on the lookout for a new centre-back after a difficult start to the season.

HEARTBROKEN

ALEXIS SANCHEZ'S bad form is down to his split from stunning Colombian Mayte Rodriguez – after the couple separated last month.

But the Chilean forward still wants out of Man United because of JOse Mourinho's tactics.

FERGIE QUIT SHOCK

MICHAEL CARRICK has revealed how Sir Alex Ferguson told his Manchester United stars he did not want to retire in 2013.

The former Old Trafford midfielder has opened up on the legendary boss' farewell speech in his new book, Between the Lines.

YOU SHAW?

THERE was a time, not so long ago, when there was more chance of a smile from Jose Mourinho than Luke Shaw having a lengthy Old Trafford future, Sun Sport's Phil Thomas writes.

Public humiliations by his manager – on the rare occasions he got a start – doubts over his fitness, questions over his commitment – and now, unbelievably, a huge new contract.

SAVE DAVE

MANCHESTER UNITED handed a five-year deal to Luke Shaw – but still cannot get David De Gea to commit long-term.

United have triggered a one-year option on De Gea’s contract to keep him until the end of next season when he could leave on a free.

GLASS HOUSES

MANCHESTER UNITED stars are sharing videos of club legends making mistakes in their careers in a response to verbal attacks against them, according to reports.

Paul Scholes and Rio Ferdinand have both been highly critical of the players and manager Jose Mourinho – and now United's current squad are hitting back.

NO DIRECTION

MANCHESTER UNITED are ready to delay recruiting a new sporting director while Jose Mourinho is manager, it has been claimed.

United are keen to create a new position within their structure but are holding off to give Jose more space.
