#3 Marko Arnautovic responds to United links

Huddersfield Town v West Ham United - Premier League

West Ham star Marko Arnautovic has responded to rumours linking him with a move away from the club. The 29-year-old has been attracting interest from various top clubs following a string of impressive performances for the Hammers.

Manchester United were also rumoured to be interested in signing the Austrian. Arnautovic has scored 5 goals in 10 league games, one of which also came in West Ham's 3-1 humbling of the Red Devils.

The striker distanced himself from various rumours but didn't make a clear statement ruling out a move, following Austria's 2-1 win against Northen Ireland on Sunday. Speaking to Sky Sports on the issue, he said:

"I don't want to talk about it. I am concentrated on West Ham."

"We have a big game against Manchester City on Saturday and I am only thinking about this game and the following games and what is being said is not my business."

"My business is to perform on the pitch, to put in performances and that is what I want to do."

#2 Manchester United handed boost in Milinkovic-Savic chase

SS Lazio v SPAL - Serie A

A massive good news for Manchester United seems to have come out of the rumour mill today. The club have reportedly received a boost in their hunt for Serbian powerhouse Sergej Milinkovic-Savic after Lazio president Claudio Lotito refused to rule out the idea of selling him.

Lazio were successful in warding off a number of top clubs, including Manchester United, by slapping a £100 million price on the midfielder this summer. However, Lolito believes the club will have difficulty in holding on to their star if any of the interested clubs make a huge offer.

Speaking to Calciomercato regarding the player's future, Lolito said:

"In today's football, it's difficult for a player to tie himself to just one club for the rest of his career, but at Lazio we are doing well. Our players show great affection to the club."

"Milinkovic-Savic? Unfortunately, Lazio don't have the same economic potential as Barcelona and Real Madrid."

"When the conditions are on our side and an offer you can't refuse arrives, then we will face the matter."

#1 Juventus eyeing move for Marcus Rashford

Manchester United v Swansea City - Premier League

Italian champions Juventus are said to be interested in securing the services of Marcus Rashford. The Old Lady have been collecting as much information as possible on the player as possible with the view of making a potential move.

The Times report that Juventus are compiling a dossier on the Englishman and have placed him on a list of potential targets as they look to bolster their attacking options.

Rashford has been given attacking freedom by England's Gareth Southgate in contrast to the defensive responsibilities he has to shoulder at Old Trafford under Jose Mourinho. The 21-year-old's current contract with the club runs until 2020, with United having the option of extending the deal by a year.
