It has been a disappointing season for Manchester United board and fans as their 2013/2014 season has been below an average performance so far, the reds are currently the 7^th position on the premier league table.
As they struggle to finish in an UEFA Europa league spot, the management of Manchester United are considering a replacement for the chosen one, David Moyes who has been struggling to have a consistent winning form since he took over from Alex Ferguson at the start of the season.

• Barcelona have been making necessary arrangements to make an appeal for the transfer ban they got some weeks back and have also listed Chelsea’s David Luiz as one of their top prospect for next season if the transfer ban is lifted.
• Athletico Madrid boss Simeone reiterates Chelsea target Diego Costa could leave the club, the Blues are closing in on a €40 million deal for the striker, with the Atletico Madrid coach admitting the London side has the financial power to force such a move through.
• Dzeko, Ramos & Dortmund's summer shortlist to replace Lewandowski at the end of the season. Jurgen Klopp's side will be left with a gaping hole in their frontline this summer and have a number of candidates to fill the void left by the Poland striker,
• Chelsea is lining up a shock move for Arsenal centre-back Thomas Vermaelen. The Belgian has slipped down the pecking order under Arsene Wenger and his contract expires in 2015.
• Tottenham head coach Tim Sherwood is amongst the favourites to succeed Alan Pardew at Newcastle should owner Mike Ashley pull the trigger, and will bring St James' Park favourite Les Ferdinand with him.
• Manchester United will have to pay extra to sign Adam Lallana from Southampton with Bournemouth owed 25% of any transfer fee which will ramp up his price.
• Dimitar Berbatov is keen to extend his stay at Monaco and make his loan move from Fulham permanent.

Stay tuned for update on the latest transfers same time next week.
