Today's rumours think about your dumb face all the time

Manchester United seem to be plotting a double raid on Paris Saint-Germain, after identifying Randal Kolo Muani as the answer to their striking problems and Nuno Mendes as their ideal left-back, though neither transfer looks straightforward. Muani, who moved to the Parc des Princes for £77m only 16 months ago and has scored twice in 14 appearances this season, could be available on loan and is also interesting Tottenham while also finding himself on a three-man shortlist drawn up by Juventus, where he is joined by United's own Joshua Zirkzee and West Ham's mostly-injured Niclas Füllkrug – the Old Lady are hoping to free up funds by selling the former Aston Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz back into the Premier League, with Manchester City one of three clubs they have offered him to.

Mendes meanwhile is in the final 18 months of his contract in France, and the Telegraph reports that "there have been several discussions" between United and the 22-year-old's representatives, but also that PSG are hoping to convince him to sign a new deal and that there are "doubts he will demand a transfer during this window".
