"We're maybe the worst Manchester United team in history" - Amorim

Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United are among those to watch in the finals days of the January transfer window as clubs in the Premier League and across the world look to wrap up deals before the deadline, while Chelsea’s late interest in Alejandro Garnacho could unlock a series of moves.

The Gunners are desperate to sign a striker but a move for RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko looks unlikely this month, with Mikel Arteta’s side chasing Matheus Cunha as an alternative.

Elsewhere, Manchester City announced the signing of Egyptian forward Omar Marmoush, while the Blues are in talks with Juventus for striker Dusan Vlahovic.

Manchester United have opened talks with Lecce for defender Patrick Dorgu as Ruben Amorim prioritises signing a left back. But the club need to sell to buy, with Garnacho and Antony set to leave.

Chelsea consider Alejandro Garnacho bid

Chelsea are considering a bid for Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho, reports Sky Sports.

Garnacho played the entire match against Rangers on Thursday, with Ruben Amorim addressing his future.

"He's playing for Manchester United," he said when asked whether he may have played his final game for the club. "He was really important for us today. Let's see in the next days.

"I think he's improving in every aspect of the game. He was better today playing inside and also outside, changing positions. He's improving the recovery position. You can see it.

"For the whole 90 minutes, he's always there recovering and helping. Sometimes showing some frustration is really good because he wants more."

And now Sky Sports claim a bid could arrive from the Blues, with Mykhailo Mudryk provisionally suspended by the Football Association in December and neither Christopher Nkunku or Joao Felix able to find their best form.

Calamitous Manchester City crash towards the unthinkable as PSG strike critical Champions League blow

Now Manchester City are found on the wrong side of the dotted line. With a game to go, they have sunk to their lowest point. Crowned officially the best team in Europe 19 months ago, the standings say they are now only the 25th finest in this competition. Pep Guardiola believes a table with a surreal look tells a truth. “Of course,” he said. “It’s the points we had.”

City were not merely beaten by Paris Saint-Germain. They were battered, their flaws highlighted by the team who had looked the Champions League’s greatest underachievers. City were overpowered, overrun, overcome. Collapsing, capitulating, they met their match in Paris. “They were better,” said Guardiola. “They were quicker, faster, they win the duels with the ball.”
