MU sells Mkhitaryan for 30 million pounds

The Mirror reported that Mourinho has left Mkhitaryan out of 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, much to Mourinho's delight. However, he has been inexplicably down, losing his place in the squad. The last time Mkhitaryan was given a start by the Portuguese coach was early last month (November 5), in the match when MU lost 0-1 to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

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

Mkhitaryan joined MU last summer, from Dortmund for £26 million.

Inter are interested, but only want to borrow in this winter transfer window, not intend to buy. There is information that MU wants to exchange 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" for the club to 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 the 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 a 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 is already playing for the Merseyside team.

Van Gaal demands revenge on MU

It seems that he still hasn't gotten over the trauma of being fired by MU in 2016, 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 newspaper De Telegraaf (Netherlands) just reported that this veteran strategist is ready to return, with only one purpose: revenge on MU!

"I probably won't coach 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 led it.
