Manchester United's head coach Erik ten Hag is not facing immediate dismissal, according to insider Fabrizio Romano. The source reports that the coach still has the support of the club, but the pressure on him is increasing.

Barcelona are set to bring in Wojciech Szczesny on a deal until the end of the season this week, with the Polish goalkeeper reportedly passing his medical in the Catalan capital on Monday. The 34-year-old will be coming out of retirement to compete with Inaki Pena for the number one spot, with Marc-Andre ter Stegen out until late April at the very earliest.
There had been talk of Barcelona perhaps looking to address the goalkeeping position in a more long-term fashion this summer, following ter Stegen’s injury. The German goalkeeper will be 33 by the time he is back from injury, and has undergone his third surgery in the last four years now, while Inaki Pena at the time of writing is yet to convince as a long-term solution. Porto goalkeeper Diogo Costa has been mentioned as a name they like too.
Matteo Moretto has explained to Football España and The Daily Briefing that Barcelona will not take any decisions on the goalkeeping spot in the near future though. First of all they will see how Marc-Andre ter Stegen recovers from his injury, as well as evaluating the performances of Szczesny and Pena during the course of this season. With that information in hand, they will be able to take a more informed decision, if they feel they need to make one at all.

Legendary Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy has surged to the top of the betting odds to replace Erik ten Hag as the club's manager. With Ten Hag facing a critical week, Van Nistelrooy is now the 2/1 favoruite to take the reins. Van Nistelrooy's playing career at Old Trafford, where he scored 150 goals in 219 appearances, has endeared him to the United faithful. His familiarity with the club's culture and values makes him an attractive candidate.

In 2013, Patrice Evra revealed that both Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale were on the verge of joining Manchester United. According to Evra, Ronaldo had agreed to re-sign with the club, while Sir Alex Ferguson was keen to secure Bale as well. However, the club ultimately decided against paying the combined fee of £200 million for both players, which led to a missed opportunity for a significant transfer coup just before Ferguson's retirement. Patrice added in the end: "And now they spend a billion, whatever".

Is Nico hinting at a move to Barcelona?

Nico Williams's transfer saga with Barcelona was at the front burner of rumour mills until the summer window slammed shut on September 1.

Barcelona ultimately failed to sign Williams due to financial reasons not because the player said no to them. Williams himself was more than happy to remain at his stomping ground in Bilbao for at least one more year.

But Williams hasn't stopped winking at Barca since that summer move fell through. It wasn't long ago that he dedicated a goal to a Barca player, a gesture that left many Athletic Bilbao fans offended.

This past week, Williams caused another stir online when he removed Athletic Bilbao from his X header. He also changed his profile picture from one in a Bilbao jersey to an image of him playing for Spain.

In the hours that followed, fans questioned Williams' social media activity with some saying he only wants to go to Barca.

Williams responded by re-adding a header image of himself in action for Bilbao.

Indeed it seems like Williams is indeed thinking about a move to Barcelona…
