Manchester United Transfer News: Latest Christian Pulisic and Luke Shaw Rumours

Manchester United are reportedly keeping tabs on Borussia Dortmund's Christian Pulisic, while Luke Shaw is said to be considering an offer from Turkish side Fenerbahce.

Jose Mourinho's side have "maintained a watching brief" on Pulisic, with the United boss keen to sign a winger and a playmaker, according to MailOnline's Simon Jones.

Pulisic has made 16 appearances for Dortmund this season, scoring three times and with one assist in what has been a difficult start.

The club are 13 points behind leaders Bayern Munich in third place and recently replaced coach Peter Bosz with Peter Stoger.

However, the 19-year-old has enjoyed a fine 2017 and was named the U.S. men's national team Player of the Year, the youngest player ever to scoop the award, per ESPN Stats & Info:

Paul Carr at ESPN.com showed how good the teenager is when taking on the opposition:

Marca's Chris Winterburn said that Pulisic could also be useful to United off the pitch:

Pulisic's potential is obvious and he is only "one step away" from playing for one of the biggest clubs in the world, according to United States under-20 national team coach Tab Ramos, per Goal's Ives Galarcep.

While Dortmund would hate to lose Pulisic, they are interested in Manchester United's out-of-favour playmaker Henrikh Mkhitaryan, according to Miguel Delaney at the Independent. The Armenian played for BVB from 2013-16.

Dortmund also re-signed Shinji Kagawa from the Red Devils, which suggests relations between the two clubs are good.

That could help United if they can tempt the Bundesliga side into parting with one of their most prized assets, although they will surely face competition from other top European clubs.

Meanwhile, Shaw could leave for Fenerbahce, despite having already turned down a move to Turkey, according to Sabah (h/t Nihat Emre Kocaaslan at Sport Witness).

The left-back has been "urged by the Fenerbahce board to rethink their offer" and is now open to a move, should he be unable to secure a deal with a Premier League club.

Shaw has made only one Premier League appearance this season but has enjoyed some game time recently, featuring against CSKA Moscow, Bournemouth and Bristol City in December.

Manchester United's official Twitter account shows he has also been impressing: 

However, he was not at his best during Wednesday's surprise Carabao Cup defeat to Championship side Bristol City at Ashton Gate.

Football writer Jordan Clarke summed up his display neatly:

Converted winger Ashley Young has emerged as United's first-choice full-back this season, so it remains to be seen if Shaw has much of a future at the club.

His recent outings suggest he is starting to convince Mourinho of his worth, but his future at the club does look uncertain ahead of the January transfer window.
