On that note, here's a look at the key Manchester United transfer stories as on 28th November 2021.
Ralf Rangnick offered advice on Cristiano Ronaldo
Graeme Souness has offered Ralf Rangnick advice on how to deal with Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese has hit the ground running since rejoining Manchester United this summer. The 36-year-old already has ten goals and two assists from 14 games for The Red Devils.
However, Ronaldo has come under scrutiny for adversely impacting United's tactics on the pitch. Multiple reports suggest Rangnick is all set to take charge of The Red Devils on an interim basis. The German will have to find a way to use the Portuguese to best effect if he arrives at the Old Trafford helm.

It is clear that Rangnick will have a few big decisions on his hands, and he has received advice from Souness. Writing in his article for The Times, as relayed by The Express, the Liverpool legend has said that the German should have a heart-to-heart with Ronaldo.
βIβd have taken Cristiano Ronaldo all day long, but Iβd also have had a honest conversation with him: βYouβll get plenty of game time, but you wonβt be starting every gameβ. I still canβt think of a better impact sub, but heβs no longer the player he was β you just canβt be at 36,β wrote Souness.
βIβd also have said: "Iβm looking for you to teach these young guys about turning up on time, looking after yourself and training properly, to be the example that takes this club back to greatness,β wrote Souness.
