Manchester United's Maguire Future in Doubt as Villa and Juventus Circle - Could Murillo Replace Him?
Aston Villa are reportedly considering two high-profile transfer targets to bolster their attacking line this January. One potential signing is Tammy Abraham, the Roma-owned striker currently on loan with Besiktas, a move that would be seen as a 'homecoming' at Villa Park given his previous stint in the Championship. Another target being linked is Dani Ceballos, a midfielder who enjoyed success during his spell at Arsenal and has been an integral part of Real Madrid's squad for years.
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace are facing another FA Cup heartbreak with Oliver Glasner's future hanging in the balance - but that's not all, Juventus have also cast their eyes on Jean-Philippe Mateta. The defender's return to form under Ruben Amorim has revitalised his career, yet now fresh doubts over Harry Maguire's Manchester United future threaten to unsettle the Old Trafford faithful.
With Michael Carrick still at the helm, United are thought to be considering Nottingham Forest's versatile midfielder Murillo as a permanent replacement for Maguire. The move would be a surprise given Carrick's preference for Hayden Hackney, one of his most prized players from their time together at Middlesbrough. However, the return of Kobbie Mainoo to the United midfield could drastically alter the situation, with Napoli keenly eyeing the prospect of a loan deal.
In other transfer news, Manchester City legend Carlos Baleba is back in the spotlight after impressing last summer as Brighton look to reignite their interest in the Africa Cup-winning midfielder. Meanwhile, speculation is growing over Chelsea's potential signing of Marcos Senesi from Bournemouth - could this be a one-time sale for the Cherries?
Another high-profile player linked to a new club is Enzo Fernández, who may ditch Paris Saint-Germain and join PSG permanently due to his unhappiness with the decision to let go of Enzo Maresca. The French giants are said to be keen on signing the talented Argentine midfielder.
Finally, goalkeeper Filip Jörgensen's days at West Ham appear numbered as Robert Sánchez outshone him for a Chelsea spot, sparking whispers of an impending move to the London club. Other Hammers targets include Bobby Thomas, Jamal Lascelles and Bright Arrey-Mbi of Braga.
Manchester City legend Bernardo Silva is also set to test the waters with several suitors having taken notice of his contract situation, with Galatasaray, Napoli, Juventus and Saudi Pro League clubs reportedly interested in signing the star midfielder.

So I was looking at this article about Manchester United's Maguire future and it got me thinking... 
But on the Juventus side, Jean-Philippe Mateta's been having a resurgence under Ruben Amorim...
Will he join PSG permanently or make a move elsewhere?
Galatasaray, Napoli, Juventus, and the Saudi Pro League are all vying for his services...
. They're considering Murillo as a replacement? Hayden Hackney was their guy from Middlesbrough, what happened? And don't even get me started on Kobbie Mainoo, if he comes back into the fold, Maguire's outta there for sure 
. I mean, it's like they can't make up their minds. And have you seen Napoli's interest in Enzo Fernández? That kid's a beast, he should be playing for PSG, not some other team 
. And don't even get me started on Bernardo Silva's contract situation, if he goes to Galatasaray, that's just sad 
. Someone needs to give those guys a plan, or they'll be stuck in neutral forever 
️.
. I mean, he's got skills and all, but he's never played in the Premier League before... what if he struggles to adapt? And what about Ceballos and Abraham coming in? Would that really help with Maguire's future plans? This is getting messy...
i drew a simple diagram of what could be murillo's stats vs the opposition 
don't get me wrong, murillo's a good player but maguire's been solid for years now, not sure if they need to make this change 
i mean come on hes been exposed time and time again and im not seein any improvement 
.
. They're serving these crazy delicious Korean BBQ tacos that have me hooked, but I'm also kinda worried they might not be healthy for me, you know? Like, have you ever tried to balance the calories and carbs in something like that? 
AND WHAT ABOUT TONY PAULINHO LEAVING BENFICA FOR PALACE?!?! THE TRANSFER WINDOW IS ALREADY GETTING CRAZY!!! 
I mean, if Carrick is thinking of going that route it must mean they're seeing something in Murillo 
. But let's be real, we all know how transfer windows can go awry... what if Kobbie Mainoo doesn't make the cut and Murillo ends up being the new face at Old Trafford? 
. I mean, Carrick's always been known for his loyalty, but he might be willing to make some tough decisions if it means winning games 
. The team's not as strong without him, and I think the fans are starting to realize that 
That's like saying a Sunday roast without the Yorkshire pudding 
- it just don't feel right. I love Harry Maguire, he's been solid, but you gotta think about what they're trying to achieve this season. They need someone who can anchor that backline, especially with their defense being as leaky as it is atm 
.
And omg, I'm so down for Enzo Fernández joining PSG permanently - the kid is a genius on the pitch! 
if murillo gets the nod then it'll be a big change for carrick to make that call 
but on the bright side it could bring some new energy to the team 
and what's up with fernández going from paris to PSG permanently lol doesn't he know psg is like the ultimate soul-sucking experience 
anyway back to murillo, i think it'd be cool to see him play alongside marte 
they both seem like awesome dudes who could bring a lot of skill to man utd
