Waching daily Oct 31 2018

 Manchester United news is coming ahead of this weekend's clash with Bournemouth, who cruised through to the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup last night

 The Red Devils will go into that match on a high following their 2-1 victory over Everton on Sunday, where goals from Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial fired them to a vital three points

 The January transfer window is creeping closer and today's round-up features news on Alexis Sanchez, whose future at Old Trafford is far from certain

 Three Jose Mourinho targets have also been identified, while Wayne Rooney has sent a message of support to his manager

Sanchez transfer talks Manchester United chiefs are pondering whether to cut Alexis Sanchez loose and have already held talks about a possible transfer

 That's according to The Sun, who say the Chile international's dire form has prompted such desperate measures

 Sanchez only arrived from Arsenal in January - but has managed to find the net just four times since

 PSG are reportedly keen to snap him up should one of Neymar or Kylian Mbappe depart

 They do appear to be the only frontrunners for now, though.Mourinho has three specific targets Jose Mourinho has trimmed Manchester United's list of defensive transfer targets down to three, ESPN say

 The 55-year-old is keen to bolster his backline despite already having Victor Lindelof, Chris Smalling, Eric Bailly, Phil Jones and Marcos Rojo at his disposal

 Inter Milan and AC Milan duo Milan Skriniar and Alessia Romagnoli are both being eyed

 And Fiorentina powerhouse Nikola Milenkovic is Mourinho's third target. United will only splash the cash in January, though, should the right opportunity emerge

Rooney claim Manchester United icon Wayne Rooney has insisted Mourinho still retains the support of the club's players

 The DC United forward said: "Obviously they are going through a difficult period at the minute but Jose Mourinho is very experienced and I think some players have to do a little bit better

 "Hopefully they can turn their form around, win a few more games and keep the pressure on the top of the table and get back up there, which is where we all want to see them

 "In my experience, I have never seen or heard of a player not wanting to play in the game because they have had a falling out with the manager

 "I don't think any player, certainly at Manchester United, will be not playing for Jose, I'm sure they're all working hard behind the scenes to get results
