As they continue to suffer from midfield absences, Manchester United could be looking at Celtic midfielder, Ki Sung-Yeung, to fill a vital role in the team.

The worries began early in the season when the club revealed that Tom Cleverley would be out until February at the earliest as he copes with an ankle injury.

Newcastle have slapped a £15million price tag on in-form keeper Tim Krul.
The Magpies want to scare off Tottenham and Chelsea this month.
Both want the impressive Holland stopper, 23, but Newcastle insist only a huge offer will get 6ft 4in Krul.
A Toon source said: “Tim is now widely recognised as one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League.
“It’s a very specialised market when you are searching for a keeper of that quality.
“You’ve got to be talking £15m, maybe more. That’s how highly we value him.”

Kop flop Andy Carroll has been given a £10million escape route out of Liverpool.

Newcastle flatly rejected the idea and a further proposal of £15m plus add-ons.
