Transfer news LIVE: Man Utd talks, Aston Villa deal agreed, Spurs boss intervenes

Express Sport brings you all the latest transfer gossip and confirmed deals with the January window open for Premier League clubs.

The January transfer window has been quiet so far for Premier League clubs, bar Manchester City's capture of in-form winger Antoine Semenyo, but there are plenty of rumours swirling that Manchester United and Liverpool could be among those to make a mid-season move soon.

United appointed Michael Carrick as their new interim manager last night and could dip into the market to improve his chances of securing Champions League football for his permanent successor. While Liverpool's chances of a top-four finish, and silverware, have been damaged by a spate of injuries that could require them to bring forward their swoop for Marc Guehi.
