Manchester United look to be targeting a double deal during the January transfer window.

Lisandro Martinez’s future at Old Trafford has been thrust into significant doubt following this week’s shock post-Atletico Madrid outburst - one for which he has now apologised after talks with senior club executives and reportedly been fined.

Martinez is out of contract at United next summer and it sounds like there is no appetite on either side to trigger an extension.

Instead reports claim that he will be allowed to depart, with a replacement being sought in January.

The Daily Mail say that Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite remains a player of interest in central defence, with United to also swoop for a new left-back with Bournemouth’s Adrien Truffert top of their list.

TEAMtalk suggests that Arsenal are interested in Bazoumana Toure, who has impressed at Newcastle since moving to Tyneside from Bundesliga club Hoffenheim for £42m in July.

Meanwhile, German journalist Christian Falk claims that the reigning Premier League champions have also shortlisted Bayern Munich defender Kim Min-jae following the injury to Piero Hincapie.
