Good morning Man Utd fans

Manchester United have been drawn with Charlton in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals.

United made it to the next round after eliminating Burnley in the Last 16 with a 2-0 victory at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils punched their ticket after goals by Christian Eriksen and Marcus Rashford.

The Manchester giants and Charlton will face off in the week commencing on January 9.

Meanwhile, Benfica have slapped a whopping £105million price tag on Enzo Fernandez.

Liverpool were understood to be admirers of Fernandez before his stellar World Cup displays with Argentina, which have also impressed United.

But it’s claimed the two rivals will have to shatter the Premier League record transfer fee to land the midfielder’s services.

The Portuguese giants have no intention of selling the 21-year-old for a penny less than his mammoth release clause.

If the Red Devils were to push through a deal they would top the former world-record £89m fee they splashed for Paul Pogba.

And United have been dealt another blow in their pursuit of Frenkie de Jong, with Barcelona president Joan Laporta insistent that he does not want to sell him.

The Manchester giants were heavily linked with a swoop for De Jong throughout the summer transfer window, but a move never came to fruition.

The Red Devils’ boss Erik ten Hag was desperate to reunite with the ex-Ajax star and he even prepared an offer of at least £70m in an attempt to sign him.

However, Barca chief Laporta has now revealed that he never wanted to sell the Netherlands international in the first place.

In an interview with Barca TV, he said: “I’ve never wanted to sell Frenkie de Jong. He has to be a pillar of the team.”

Finally, Ten Hag is set for a selection headache due to a defensive crisis

Victor Lindelof is his only fit centre-back as he played alongside midfielder Casemiro in Wednesday’s Carabao Cup win over Burnley.

Harry Maguire was not in the squad and Lisandro Martinez as well as Raphael Varane are still on a break after playing against each other in the 2022 World Cup final.

Ten Hag confirmed that Maguire missed out on the match against the Clarets due to an illness.

Martinez has been back in his homeland of Argentina celebrating his World Cup triumph.

Varane went down in the final, but it has been put down to fatigue rather than a serious injury.
