Man United transfer news LIVE - Midfielders eyed, Bruno Fernandes claim, Antoine Semenyo latest

Hello and welcome to our Manchester United's live blog on Saturday, November 22.

With the January transfer window rapidly approaching, clubs are preparing to make moves - whether that means offloading players or bringing in reinforcements. As always, United have been linked with several names, though it remains to be seen if any deals will actually go through.

One player regularly mentioned is Bournemouth star Antoine Semenyo, whose release clause becomes active in the New Year. United, however, face competition from other Premier League sides.

The upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) could also play a role in shaping transfer plans, with players such as Amad Diallo set to be away on international duty. How United respond to these challenges will be worth keeping an eye on in the weeks ahead.

Catch up with the latest news, views and transfer rumours involving Man Utd below.

Man United are reportedly looking to release Sancho at the end of the season.

The Sun understand that selling both Sancho and Casemiro would save more than £31m a year in wages. Sancho is currently on loan at Aston Villa, having made four appearances so far.

Elsewhere, United are set to receive £38m from Napoli for Rasmus Hojlund while Barcelona have the option to buy Marcus Rashford for £30m.

According to The Sun, Man United will not trigger the one-year extension in Casemiro's contract.

The Brazilian, who earns a reported £300,000-a-week, is in the final year of his deal.

Man United are reportedly 'prepared' to offload captain Bruno Fernandes to help fund for other transfers next summer.

According to TEAMtalk, selling the Portugal midfielder could help fund moves for Adam Wharton, Elliot Anderson and Carlos Baleba.

However, this won't come
