Here are your latest Manchester United morning headlines on Wednesday, January 18.
Dortmund issue Bellingham transfer warning
Borussia Dortmund would be "stupid" to want to sell generational England midfielder Jude Bellingham amid heavy interest from top European sides including Manchester United and Manchester City.
That's the assessment from Dortmund sporting director, Sebastian Kehl, who says the Bundesliga club have yet to receive an offer for the teenager. Bellingham, 19, was a shining light for his country at the recent World Cup and his signature remains hot property coming up three years on from his move to Signal Iduna Park.

United were in the race for Bellingham at that time and are tipped to come calling for him, once again, during the summer window amid an ongoing pursuit to sign Frenkie de Jong. City are also interested in Bellingham along with Liverpool FC and Spanish giants Real Madrid.
United confident over Rashford contract talks
Manchester United are confident of tying down England striker Marcus Rashford on a new contract as discussions over a renewal continue.
Rashford, 25, is expected to receive an increase on his £200,000 weekly wage at United, who are reluctant to break the £300,000 barrier so one player does not earn significantly more than the others.
Casemiro earns £300,000-a-week and although David de Gea inked a £375,000-a-week contract in 2019, his wages were slashed by 25 per cent this season as United failed to qualify for the Champions League following what was a dismal sixth-place finish last campaign.
