Manchester United have been offered striker Willian Jose on loan by Real Sociedad, but talks over a move to Tottenham are still ongoing.

The Red Devils completed a move for Bruno Fernandes on Thursday but are still believed to be attempting to sign a new forward before the end of the month.

Tottenham Hotspur have been strongly linked with Willian Jose in recent days, but United have now been offered the opportunity to sign the 28-year-old on loan.

The Brazilian has scored 53 times in 130 appearances for Sociedad in all competitions, including eight in 20 La Liga outings during the 2019-20 campaign, although he has not been involved in their last three matches in all competitions.

Marcus Rashford will be on the sidelines until March with a back problem, leaving Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood as United’s only first-team options in the centre-forward position.

Former West Bromwich Albion forward, Salomon Rondon, has also been linked with a potential move to the 20-time English champions as the window nears its conclusion.
