Man United transfer news LIVE - Cole Palmer, striker move, Yan Diomande latest

Welcome to the MEN's Manchester United transfer blog on Thursday, January 29.

The weekend is almost upon us, and United will be aiming to extend their unbeaten run to three games when they face Fulham at Old Trafford on Sunday. Wins over Manchester City and Arsenal have lifted Michael Carrick's side to fourth in the table.

Off the pitch, the January transfer window remains open until Monday, February 2, with a 7pm deadline. United have been quiet so far, but there could still be a few twists to come.

Chelsea star Cole Palmer is one of the names circulating in recent days, while Carlos Baleba, Adam Wharton and Yan Diomande have also been linked with a move to the club.

With that said, we’ll keep you updated with the latest news right here.

Man United are said to have registered their interest in Diomande with RB Leipzig last month.

However, the Bundesliga side are reluctant to lose Diomande at this stage of his career and will demand at least €100m (£87m) for a summer sale, with that figure potentially rising to €120m (£104m).

The Guardian report that Man United are considering a 'surprise' move for Rennes striker Mohamed Kader Meite.

The 18‑year‑old’s representatives are said to have been contacted over a potential move, with United hoping to land Meite for around €30million (£26m).

Chelsea star Cole Palmer is linked with a sensational move to Manchester United and there's one transfer from 2014 that could provide United fans with hope of a move materialising.

It is well-documented that Palmer is a childhood United fan - something which could prove incredibly important down the line if a move begins to formulate.
