Monday 15 August

21:06 Tomasz Kuszczak played well against Arsenal in the Reserves fixture despite the 2-1 defeat, no doubt impressing any watching managers and scouts. Maybe even Gordon Strachan, apologies for reinstalling him as Bhoys boss earlier!

16:30 Polish website Interia claim Tomasz Kuszczak has had talks with Celtic over a move to Glasgow with Neil Lennon hunting a new keeper. The Polish goalie is, however, in the Reserves squad for tonight's league clash against Arsenal and expected to start.

15:28 Jonny Evans told Sunday Life in Ireland that he never had any fears about leaving United despite the summer signing of Phil Jones from Blackburn.

15:25 Samir Nasri has Tweeted to say fans' chants against him at the weekend were "really disrespectful" because he's still an Arsenal player. The Frenchman has also offered his congratulations to Cesc Fabregas for clinching his departure.

15:10 It may seem unlikely considering he signed a bumper new deal recently, but

Sky Italia believe Thiago Alcantaracould leave Barcelona following Cesc Fabregas' arrival. The TV station claim Roma boss Luis Enrique is trying to woo the midfielder, who was linked with United before penning his contract. He may have moved shirt numbers to accommodate Fabregas but leaving Camp Nou would be a shock.

13:20 After the suggestion in Belgium recently that Royal Antwerp want to revive their relationship with United, the boss has admitted he was pleased to have the tie-up. "The alliance with Antwerp worked very well," he said. "It's beneficial playing in Europe with a different culture and it helped all those players."

11:20 Steven Defour, long linked with the Reds, has signed a five-year deal at Porto after moving from Standard Liege for €6million, according to Le Soir.

10:26 Blackburn boss Steve Kean has admitted making contact with Sir Alex in a bid to bring one or two players to Ewood Park on loan. Danny Welbeck, who started at West Brom on Sunday, andFederico Macheda were forwarded as prime candidates by The Sun.

10:17 Metro are of the opinion that Mario Goetze has replaced Wesley Sneijder as Sir Alex's top midfield target.

The report claims Borussia Dortmund value the Germany international at £20million even though both the club and player have gone to great lengths to insist there's no way he'll leave this season.

10:10 Another week and more gossip as the deadline creeps ever closer. With some clubs scrambling to get some business done, the merry-go-round could be spinning a little faster in the coming days.
