Football rumours from the media

— Marcus Rashford (@MarcusRashford) December 30, 2018

Real Madrid are set to be disappointed in their efforts to lure Marcus Rashford away from Old Trafford, the Sun reports. Since the departure of Jose Mourinho the England star has seen an improvement in his game and is intent on staying with Manchester United, according to the paper.

Juventus reckon they can acquire Aaron Ramsey in a £40million deal – but in the summer, the Daily Mirror reports. With six months left on his Arsenal contract the Welshman, 28, is able to speak to international clubs from now, the paper says. Ramsey could be paid £140,000 a week if he takes a four-year contract with the Serie A champions, according to the Mirror.
