This is nowhere near good enough for a team who had aspirations of finishing in the top four, or even challenging for a title going into the season. He has managed for long enough to recognise a position of need and the attack is their main one. The report also claims that a centre-back is also high on Potter’s wish list.

AC Milan could launch a move to sign Joao Felix from Atletico Madrid, according to a report, amid speculation that the forward could leave the LaLiga club.

Milan are very likely to have spoken with Mendes about Felix given that there are already discussions between the parties over Rafael Leao’s future. Felix has a contract until June 2026 and has collected just 818 minutes of playing time across all competitions so far this season.

A fee of £86million has been mentioned as a possible price for the player - something out of United’s current budget. Atletico would prefer to sell but are reportedly open to a loan with an option to buy. With Felix’s situation, the scenario could be quite simple however that doesn’t seem to be the case. The versatile attacker is out of favor at Atletico Madrid and is bound to leave the club. United must now act to bring in the attacker they desire.

Chelsea are looking to do some business in the January transfer window and a forward is a top priority.

The 23-year-old has been used in a deeper role behind the striker at times, but he's struggled to influence games as much from that position.

The future of Hakim Ziyech remains a doubt, with the Moroccan having struggled for minutes under Thomas Tuchel and now Potter.

Jorge Mendes may try and send Felix to United to repair relations with the club, particularly in the wake of Ronaldo’s sudden departure. [Liverpool](/latest/liverpool-fc), it’s possible [Manchester United](/latest/manchester-united-fc) will swoop for Joao Felix instead. Ronaldo became a club legend during his first stint at United, firing them to three league titles and the Champions League in 2008 during his time there. United, however, can sell Felix the chance to play for the biggest club in the country - and the opportunity to re-awaken a sleeping giant, too. And that has left a hole in Ten Hag’s attack as he looks to steer the club back into the Champions League at the first time of asking.

Joao Felix has been heavily linked with a potential move to the Premier League between now and the end of the January window.

Felix became the second-most expensive teenager in history when he joined Atletico Madrid from Benfica three years ago and is still widely regarded as one of the most exciting young strikers in Europe, with no shortage of clubs lining up to battle it out for his signature next month. Atletico Madrid would reportedly prefer to keep Felix on their books but have reluctantly decided to sell the Portuguese striker following the breakdown of his relationship with Simeone behind closed doors in recent weeks. It remains unclear why Felix decided to pick Leeds as his favourite English club, although it could be implied given his age that his admiration for the Whites began during Marcelo Bielsa's time in charge. [Atletico Madrid](/latest/atletico-madrid-fc) striker Joao Felix has already revealed that he is a keen admirer of a surprise [Premier League](/latest/premier-league) club as he continues to be linked with a January move to England.

Felix has fallen down Diego Simeone's pecking order in Spain and is expected to leave the club in January, despite his hefty price tag. Pep Guardiola's men are looking to make it five title wins in six seasons and possess one of the best strikers in the game in Erling Haaland - who has scored 18 league goals in 13 games this season. 9 should they have a chance of competing with Manchester City for the title.
