Manchester United are reportedly keen on Atletico Madrid midfielder Conor Gallagher as one of their numerous targets in that position. The Red Devils could do with strengthening in the middle of the park as Manuel Ugarte has proven quite disappointing in his time at Old Trafford so far, while Casemiro isn't getting any younger. Man Utd are exploring a few different options, but former Chelsea man Gallagher is one of them, according to talkSPORT.
Atletico Madrid were keen on securing his signature, and they are keeping tabs on his situation.

Aston Villa are interested in signing the Getafe midfielder Luis Milla in the coming months. The 31-year-old experienced midfielder is valued at 30 million, and Aston Villa are prepared to offer 25 million in order to get the deal done.

Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the highly talented defender, Lautaro Rivero. The 21-year-old has done well for River Plate, and his performances have attracted the attention of Tottenham and Atletico Madrid, as per Fichajes.

Lautaro Rivero could be a useful addition Tottenham could use more quality and depth in the defensive unit, and the 21-year-old would be a long-term acquisition.
When a club legend leaves a club for pastures new, especially in their prime years, it can sometimes be baffling to loyal fans but often, there are events going on beyond the scenes that the regular supporter on the street simply doesn't know about. Relationships with executives, and those figures' decision-making, can often be the driving factor behind a player moving on, but lips tend to be sealed until after the event.
Slovakian international defender David Hancko is prepared to face the might of city rivals Real Madrid for the first time this weekend. Hancko, 27, joined from Feyenoord over the summer and has slotted in at left-back under firebrand head coach Diego Simeone.

Atletico's strong start at Estadi Mallorca Son Moix saw them awarded a penalty in the 14th minute when Mallorca captain Antonio Raillo handled in the box. Julian Alvarez assumed responsibility for the spot-kick, but could not give Atletico the lead as his effort was brilliantly saved by Leo Roman down to his left. Atletico's chances of victory took a hit midway through the second half when Sorloth, who had replaced Alvarez just after the hour, was sent off for a high challenge on Raillo.
