MU sells Mkhitaryan for 30 million pounds

The Mirror reported that Mourinho has removed Mkhitaryan from his plans and is ready to let the Armenian midfielder leave for £30 million to welcome Mesut Ozil this summer.

Mourinho is fed up with Mkhitaryan so he wants to sell him as soon as possible.

The 28-year-old midfielder had a good start to the season, which made Mourinho happy. However, he has been inexplicably down, leading to him losing his place in the squad. The last time Mkhitaryan was given a start by the Portuguese coach was at the beginning of last month (November 5), in the match MU lost 0-1 to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

Mourinho has been blunt that he has dismissed Mkhitaryan because he is not worthy and has also admitted the possibility of pushing this player out of Old Trafford.

Mkhitaryan joined MU last summer from Dortmund for 26 million pounds.

Inter are interested, but only want to borrow him in this winter transfer window, not intend to buy. There is information that MU wants to exchange him with Joao Mario.

Messi nodded for Barca to buy Coutinho

Contrary to reports that Messi opposed Barca buying Philippe Coutinho, Don Balon reported that the legendary number 10 "nodded" to let the club sign the Brazilian midfielder in the winter transfer window.

Messi welcomes Coutinho to join Barca

According to the above source, the Argentine superstar is aware that Barca needs reinforcements in midfield to ensure stable strength to fight throughout the season.

Coutinho has shown his versatility in the Liverpool squad and Messi believes that Neymar's national teammate will help Barca become stronger. Therefore, after careful consideration, the 30-year-old striker supports the club to bring Coutinho to the Nou Camp.

Don Balon added that Messi's words will have a significant impact on the deal Barca have been pursuing since the summer.

Coutinho himself was certainly excited to receive the welcome from the team's number 1 important player.

However, if they convince Liverpool to sell Coutinho this January, Barca will not have his service in C1, because he already plays for the Merseyside team.

Van Gaal demands revenge on MU

It seems that the pain of being fired by MU in 2016 has not yet subsided, so the veteran coach is determined to "take revenge" on his old team.

Van Gaal is still angry about being fired by MU

Van Gaal was terminated early from his contract and lost his seat to Mourinho, despite previously winning the FA Cup with the Red Devils.

He decided to... retire, despite receiving offers to sit in the "hot seat" from China, Germany,... But the Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf has just reported that this veteran strategist is ready to return, with only one purpose: revenge on MU!

"I probably won't manage another team unless a big name in England comes calling. Then I have a chance to beat MU.".

According to the former Barca coach, MU did not play fair, negotiating with Mourinho behind his back: "Woodward (MU Vice Chairman) should come see me and we can solve that.".

A few days ago, Van Gaal also spoke out, saying that Mourinho's MU is now more boring than when he was in charge.
