Good morning Man Utd fans
Brighton ace Moises Caicedo has issued a very enigmatic tweet suggesting he is leaving the club for a record fee amid interest from Manchester United.
Caicedo tweeted: “I am grateful to Mr. [Tony] Bloom and Brighton for giving me the chance to come to the Premier League and I feel I have always done my best for them. I always play football with a smile and with heart.
“I am the youngest of 10 siblings from a poor upbringing in Santa Domingo in Ecuador.
“My dream always to be the most decorated player in the history of Ecuador. I am proud to be able to bring in a record transfer fee for Brighton which would allow them to reinvest it and help the club continue to be successful.
“The fans have taken me into their hearts and they will always be in my heart so I hope they can understand why I want to take up this magnificent opportunity.”
Meanwhile, Inter Milan star Denzel Dumfries’ agent flew in for talks with Premier League clubs, including United.
The Red Devils, Chelsea and Newcastle are thought to be keen on Dumfries.
Inter might consider doing business over the versatile full-back for a fee in the region of £40million.

According to Calciomercato, the 26-year-old’s agent Rafaela Pimenta jetted to the UK for discussions with “several” top-flight teams.
And United are interested in signing Juventus star Federico Chiesa.
Chiesa is valued at £90m however it is believed that there is a host of European clubs looking at him.
The Red Devils have been monitoring the situation at the Serie A club after the Italian giants were given a huge 15-point penalty for orchestrating a transfer scam over three seasons.
This could lead to a swoop for the winger, according to Calcio Mercato.
Finally, Jadon Sancho is on his way back into the United first team and could be involved in the FA Cup this weekend, writes SunSport’s Neil Custis.
Sancho has been sidelined since October with manager Erik ten Hag believing he was not physically or mentally fit enough to play for the Red Devils.
The 22-year-old has only recently returned to full training since his last appearance away to Chelsea 14 weeks ago.
But ahead of Saturday’s evening kick off against Reading, Ten Hag said there is now light at the end of the tunnel for the England international.
