Manchester City may be looking for new inspiration to change their form.

“So I think it’s better if they stay with us. But then it depends a little on the desire of the players. If in this case, Marc’s desire is to get more minutes and to play more, then we see we sit with him and we will decide to together.”
Donnie van de Beek has had a difficult time at Manchester United and has been unlucky to be loaned away from the club.

“Eddie Howe was surprised to hear about the finishing touch to Newcastle’s January deals. “The Magpies boss rarely thinks too much about new additions, as his team is limited to what they can do next month.

“It’s true that Bayern are looking for a player who can function like Harry Kane and as a replacement for the England international. That’s why Marcus Rashford’s profile would be suitable for Bayern Munich, but no, he’s too expensive!

“So I’m not focused on January, the only thing I can say about Kiernan is that we are very satisfied with the way he works, we are very satisfied with his performance, and this is what I think of Kiernan. “
