Transfer talk: United Robben a superstar from Bayern and Liverpool in talks with Sterling

United are short of attacking talent so this makes sense.

In saying that, you could have 11 of the world's best forwards all squashed into your starting team and you'd still be making room for Arjen Robben. Louis van Gaal's Manchester United is looking to continue with the Dutch winger joining the front line. The Bayern Munich sensation is said to have had his head turned by the re-emergence at Old Trafford and Pep Guardiola faces a fight to keep his man. (Daily Star Sunday) And there's more news on the United front, immediate news.  The 13-time Premier League champions are looking to boost their defence in this window and, with one of their two German targets, they can do just that. The manager is ready to launch a bid for Dortmund's Mats Hummels in the coming days. The bad news? He wants to buy left back Benedikt Howedes as well. (Sunday Express) It is the Sun on Sunday which has given us our biggest laugh of the day though with the most outrageous story of the century.  So, apparently, Manchester City are looking to solve their striker injury crisis by bringing Christian Benteke to the Eithad.  Now, call me a Villa fan, but why on earth would big Benteke want to leave Villa Park for City? So what, Gareth Barry and James Milner might've picked up a league medal because of it but where is City's European Cup? Where?  1982... never forget. Benteke knows the craic.

Amidst the gutting, Brendan Rodgers is trying to erect another reinforced wall by making Raheem Sterling the future of the club.  The 20-year-old is close to landing a new five-year contract, keeping him at the club until 2020, but you probably worked that out already. (Sunday Telegraph) Chelsea, meanwhile, are honing in on the signature of Andrej Kramaric.  The 23-year-old Croatian striker has been banging them in for Rijeka and, you know, just in case Diego Costa and Didier Drogba and Loic Remy aren't enough...
