Manchester United are ramping up their interest in Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo as they continue to identify potential attacking reinforcements ahead of the January transfer window, according to TEAMtalk. The 25-year-old Ghana international has been one of the Premier League's best performers this season, catching the eye of United's recruitment department with his pace and clinical finishing.

Neville, known for his forthright analysis, didn't hold back in his assessment. I'm no further forward with him, he said, as reported by Manchester Evening News. The jury is out. He's well off it compared to the other summer signings United made up front, like [Matheus] Cunha and [Bryan] Mbeumo. He looks awkward, he had a couple of good opportunities against Forest, but his touch wasn't quite right. For 80 million, you can say he's young and settling in, but you still want to see a bit more.

Sean Dyche argued football's lawmakers should consider expanding the reach of the video assistant referee system after Nottingham Forest conceded from a controversial corner for the second successive match. His side came close to winning, but Dyche was left angered after Manchester United scored the opener from a corner awarded by the assistant referee Akil Howson on the far side of the pitch.

"Welcoming back Hannah after pregnancy is a fantastic story in itself," Skinner said. "I think I'll feel it on the way home in terms of the pride for her. She's been waiting a long time and worked extremely hard. [Riviere is] playing well, so it's hard for her but when she came on she showed the true quality and class she already has, so I want to congratulate her on an epic fightback to come back."

Jarrad Branthwaite continues to draw serious attention from some of the Premier League's biggest clubs, with both Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur closely monitoring the young defender's situation at Everton. The 23-year-old remains one of the most promising centre-backs in English football and top Premier League clubs are interested in signing him, sources close to the agents industry have informed CaughtOffside.

We're only a week or so away from when I was thinking the manager was under pressure, by the way, so we've got to be really careful here, Gary Neville said on his Sky Sports podcast. We could be there again in a couple of weeks, it's that type of season, that type of feeling. That's never happened with Amorim Gary Neville

Freed by Napoli's front-foot approach and the abundance of service from creative midfielders and wide men, the Dane has shown form that made Man United sign him in the first place. The goals have arrived in varied fashion, first-time finishes, surges in transition, and decisive touches in crowded areas, showing that he has managed to rediscover his form and confidence.

We need to go to Europe because of everything. Our club needs to be in Europe, it's hard to have a very, very good squad. Imagine for me to have Kobbie Mainoo with that [many] minutes that he's playing, he needs more games for me to make a rotation because, with one game [a week], it's really hard.

[I enjoyed playing] anywhere really, anywhere across the midfield or forward line. I was at my best when just going to play and I'd pop up on the left or the right and I'd pop up behind midfielders at times. Just playing, being on the pitch in the attacking third, that was what I liked and enjoyed -- if you wanted one position, then probably the No. 10.

Vasco da Gama attacker Rayan continues to be linked with a move away from the Brazilian club, and several Premier League clubs are monitoring his situation. Rayan has been linked with Tottenham and Arsenal recently. According to a report from Bolavip, Manchester United are not following the 19-year-old attacker, and they could look to make a move for him in future. Newcastle are keen on the Brazilian as well.

Manchester United won the Premier League in 2008-09 and 2010-11, two of Sir Alex Ferguson's last three titles. Ferguson won 13 league titles in all during his time in charge of Man United and led generations of elite players through the most dominant period of the club's history. There were a handful of players who were a little bit different, who played with an extra twinkle in the eye, and two-time title winner Dimitar Berbatov was certainly one of those.

I would be very surprised if Chelsea would even consider letting Andrey Santos go, especially to a Premier League rival in Man United. He's a top young player, he's very highly regarded within the corridors of power at Stamford Bridge. He had a very good season on loan at Strasbourg and has come back into the Chelsea side this season.
