Memphis Depay has asked to leave Manchester United.

United signed Depay for £25 million from PSV Eindhoven in the summer of 2015. 

Depay has started just one match under Jose Mourinho this season.

"In the past couple of months, my decisions in relation to Memphis were influenced by the feelings and information that he would like to leave in January and that we were going to have a real offer that we would be willing to accept," Mourinho told a news conference.

"That obviously influences me.

"We had this conversation with a few players and we left things very, very clear. If I know, if I have the feeling that a player is leaving, I have to give chances to and develop other players.

"So then I go to [Jesse] Lingard, [Henrikh] Mkhitaryan, [Anthony] Martial, the players I know 100 percent are going to stay with us. And it is also a position where we have more options.

"Memphis was not playing last season. It was not that last season he was playing phenomenally and now this season he is not playing at all. That's not the situation."

Manchester United has rejected West Bromwich Albion's £13 million ($16 million) offer for Morgan Schneiderlin.

Last week Tony Pulis confirmed West Brom made a bid for Schneiderlin.

“We have not received one single offer that we are going to accept," said Jose Mourinho.

“I don’t want to sell players. The club and the board is totally with me, but as I told before, if a player is not having lots of minutes and really wants to leave, we have no right to stop him leaving if the conditions are our conditions.”

An unnamed Chinese Super League club offered Real Madrid €300 million ($316 million) for Cristiano Ronaldo, which would have paid him more than €100 million ($105 million) per season in wages.

“Money is not everything; the Spanish club is his life,” Jorge Mendes told Sky Sports Italia. “The Chinese market is a new market. They can buy a lot of players, but then again it is impossible to go for Ronaldo. Cristiano is the best player in the world and best ever. It is normal to have some offers.

“He won the European Championship with Portugal, it’s like winning the Italian league with Genoa: they were not the favorite.”

The transfer fee would have eclipsed the £93.2 million fee Manchester United paid for Paul Pogba.

Carlos Tevez has agreed to sign with Shanghai Shenhua of the Chinese Super League, leaving his boyhood club Boca Juniors.

“Shanghai Greenland Shenhua FC reached a transfer agreement with Argentina Club Atletico Boca Juniors. Carlos Alberto Tevez is officially joined Shanghai Shenhua,” the club said in a statement on their website.

Reports have suggested that the Chinese club paid €84 million (£71.6 million) for Tevez.

Tevez will earn around £615,000 per week ($753,000) on a two-year contract with Shanghai Shenhua.

Manchester United have decided to end their pursuit of Victor Lindelof of Benfica.

United were keen to purchase the 22-year-old to add depth to Jose Mourinho’s squad although they were reluctant to meet his €45 million (£38 million) release clause.

United have won five straight matches while conceding only two goals.

Phil Jones and Marcos Rojo have struck up a solid partnership in central defense and Mourinho can also count on Eric Bailly, Chris Smalling and Daley Blind in that position when they are fit.

Liverpool have interest in making a move for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain of Arsenal during the January transfer window.

Jurgen Klopp is considering ways to acquire extra depth as they challenge for the Premier League table.

The relationship between Liverpool and Arsenal was undoubtedly harmed during the 2013 transfer saga involving Luis Suarez.

Oxlade-Chamberlain's deal expires after the 17-18 season. At 23, he is still young in football terms and a player who joined Arsenal from Southampton for £12 million in 2011, shortly before his 18th birthday, would still be a relatively expensive acquisition, with a valuation in today’s market in the region of £20 million-£25 million.

Arsenal were open to the idea of selling him in the summer but Arsene Wenger stated recently that he wanted the player to sign a new contract and remain at the club.

Arsenal could pursue Marco Reus if Alexis Sanchez doesn't sign a long-term deal.

Reus is under contract with Borussia Dortmund until 2019 but would receive a pay raise at Arsenal.

Sanchez signed for the Gunners from Barcelona in 2014 for £30 million.

Arsenal are planning to break the £200,000-a-week barrier to keep Sanchez.

Atalanta have rejected a €25 million ($26 million) offer from Chelsea for Franck Kessie.

Kessie's agent claims there's also interest from Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City and Arsenal.

Kessie, who spent last season on loan at Cesena, has been in outstanding form as Atalanta have risen up to sixth place in Serie A after 18 games. Kessie has drawn comparisons to Yaya Toure.

Chelsea are keen to find a replacement for the Brazil international Oscar, who completed his move to Chinese Super league side Shanghai SIPG for £52 million this week.

Leicester City have agreed a deal to sign Wilfred Ndidi from Genk in a deal worth £15 million ($18.4 million) plus £3 million in potential add-ons.

Leicester have applied for a work permit for the 20-year-old and will be able to announce the deal once that has come through.

Claudio Ranieri sees Ndidi as the perfect replacement for N'Golo Kante, who signed with Chelsea in the summer.

Born in Lagos, Ndidi was discovered by Manchester United’s Belgium scout Roland Janssen at a youth tournament in 2013. 

James Rodriguez won't leave Real Madrid during the January transfer window, according to his agent Jorge Mendes.

Rodriguez openly talked about a move from Real Madrid to receive more regular playing time.

Manchester United, Chelsea, Inter Milan and Bayern Munich would be interested if Rodriguez becomes available.

"James will not be leaving Madrid in January," Mendes told AS.

"I'm happy here, but I want to play more," Rodriguez said. "I want to stay at Madrid forever, but you have to think about everything and look at your options. I have offers and I've got seven days to think about it."
