Barcelona starlet Fermin Lopez has handed Manchester United a significant blow by publicly rejecting their advances in favour of a long-term stay at Camp Nou. The 23-year-old midfielder has emerged as a top target for the Premier League giants following a string of sensational performances in La Liga.
The week in football was dominated by the Ballon d’Or, which was awarded to Bayern Munich superstar Harry Kane on Monday. Jose Mourinho’s protégé Kylian Mbappe narrowly missed out, however. The Portuguese was disappointed by that, but also pleased for the England international.
Manchester United currently have problems in several areas. Those in charge also appear to see a need to strengthen central midfield and want to bring in reinforcements.
Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho has admitted his surprise after Jude Bellingham finished outside the top ten in the recent Ballon d'Or voting. The Portuguese boss praised several global stars but expressed clear frustration over his midfielder's final placement before abruptly ending his comments.
