United have Maddison hope
Manchester United are hopeful of completing a deal for James Maddison, according to the Manchester Evening News.
The Leicester playmaker has caught the eye with a host of eye-catching performances which have seen him called up to the England squad by Gareth Southgate.
The report also claims Harry Maguire, a close friend of Maddison, could help get the deal over the line.
United tried their luck in the summer but to no avail and they’re expected to return for the midfielder.

Abramovich makes Kante decision
According to Sky Italia’s Fabrizio Romano, there is no truth in Juventus' pursuit of N'Golo Kante.
Romano told Calciomercato that there is no negotiations to bring Kante to the Serie A giants despite sporting director Fabio Paratici being a big admirer of the 28-year-old.
The reason Juventus are not prepared to move for Kante is that Chelsea value him at around £86million.
Kante is also locked down under contract with Chelsea until 2023, meaning an exit is unlikely.
But most importantly, Roman Abramovich has no intention of selling him next summer.

“Who knows, you know?’ Milner said at a press conference ahead of Liverpool’s Champions League clash with Genk.
“There have been talks so hopefully it gets resolved sooner rather than later.
“But at this moment I will just keep playing football as well as I can.”

Man Utd boosted in Mario Mandzukic pursuit
Juventus striker Mario Mandzukic has ’slashed’ his demands in order to help seal a January move to Manchester United.
Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been handed a boost in his pursuit of Mario Mandzukic, after the Juventus striker reduced his demands in order to seal a move to Old Trafford.
According to The Sun, Mandzukic has halved his £300,000-a-week wage demands in order to secure a move away from Turin.
The 33-year-old veteran has yet to feature at all this season under new boss Maurizio Sarri and is keen on finding an exit in the January window.

Liverpool eye Jadon Sancho
Liverpool legend Dieter Hamann believes the Reds want Jadon Sancho.
“What I hear is that Liverpool have great interest,” Hamann told Sky Germany.
“I would imagine that next summer they could become one of the biggest interested parties.
“He's from Manchester City and I do not know if he would come back again, and it's a thing for Manchester United, too, if they've ever been to the rivals.
“Sancho does not have a release clause.
”If Dortmund say that they want an astronomical amount, it will not happen.
“There are currently few players that could reinforce [Liverpool's] offensive [line-up].
“I don't know if Sancho's such a player, but maybe if there's one going away from those three, then Sancho would be predestined for this offensive alliance.”
