Transfer news and rumours LIVE: Liverpool set sights on Asensio

Eddie Howe would snub an approach from Newcastle to replace Steve Bruce as he is hopeful of a job on the south coast - namely Southampton, per Football Insider.

Manchester United are considering terminating Facundo Pellistri’s loan deal with Deportivo Alaves, Goal can confirm. 

The 19-year-old joined the  Liga side in the summer transfer window on a season-long loan deal to gain vital playing experience and, while he is in the squad each week and benefitting from that experience, he is struggling for starts.

The winger has only started one league game this season and has yet to get 200 minutes under his belt. It is understood United are consequently in the process of reviewing his loan due to a number of factors, including playing time, and will decide whether or not to cancel the contract.
