Matic blow

The Serbian signalled to come off in the 4-2 victory over Watford in midweek after picking up a muscular injury.
According to the Daily Mirror, Matic has undergone tests in order to be match fit for the trip to the Emirates on Saturday (5.30pm).
The report goes on to suggest that Mourinho will be eager to get Matic available for the Manchester derby a week on Sunday.

Mourinho demand
07:23: Jose Mourinho has reportedly told Manchester United scouts he wants them to bring in a ‘magician’ next month.
And Mourinho is desperate to close the gap by bringing in some reinforcements in January.
That’s according to The Sun, who claim the Portuguese coach wants to sign a creative player.
He reportedly believes his side are lacking a magician that can unlock defences.
Bale bid
06:30: Manchester United have approached Real Madrid with an offer for Gareth Bale, according to shock reports in Spain.
Don Balon claim Jose Mourinho is keen to sign the Welshman in January, prompting the club to make a £53m bid.
However, the offer is unlikely to tempt the La Liga champions into selling as they have reportedly put an £88m price-tag (€100m) on the 28-year-old.
