7am Man Utd transfer news LIVE: Mata new contract, FA Cup opponents announced, Neymar out of Champions League tie

OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER surely doesn't think he has the Manchester United job in the bag yet.
The Norwegian will have had a good look at the club's February fixtures and it does not make pretty reading.

After facing Burnley tonight, the Red Devils travel to Leicester on Sunday, then Fulham on February 9.

Then they have the small task of taking on PSG at Old Trafford in the Champions League the following Tuesday.

Then there is Chelsea in the FA Cup on February 17 in the plum tie of the fifth round.

Then Liverpool at home on February 24, before travelling to Selhurst Park three days later to face Crystal Palace.

Luckily, Paris Saint-Germain will be without Neymar for both legs of their Champions League last-16 tie, not that it blunts the French side's fearsome attack much.

And United are determined to nail down Juan Mata, Anthony Martial and David De Gea for the foreseeable future after Solskjaer improved the mood at Carrington, as well as results on the pitch.

Who'd bet against nine wins from nine tonight? Not many, given Burnley's rotten form.

MANCHESTER UNITED fans are waking up to the knowledge that after taking Arsenal out of the FA Cup they will now take on the defending champions Chelsea.

The draw is a rematch of the 2018 final, in which Chelsea came out as champions.

If the Red Devils win they will have knocked out the last two champions in consecutive games.

Five years after he first joined the club, Juan Mata has been reportedly offered a new £140k-a-week contract.

The Spanish playmaker, 30, is out of contract in the summer and are eager not to lose him for nothing.

Brazilian superstar Neymar is OUT of BOTH legs of PSG's last-16 tie with United.

Neymar fractured his metatarsal after a heavy challenge during last Wednesday's French Cup win over Strasbourg.and was taken to hospital after the match.

It is believed he cannot put any weight on his right foot and is not expected to be back in action until March.

Target Hirving Lozano has been released from hospital after a horror head clash.

PSV's talisman is expected to be ruled out of action for several weeks after the collision with Tim Handwerker this weekend.

Former Manchester United midfielder Roy Keane is back in work.

The tough-tackling, no-nonsence midfielder spent three years as a player at the City Ground before moving to United and has reunited with Martin O'Neill to become the assistant manager at Nottingham Forest.

O'Neill and Keane worked together for the Republic of Ireland and will hope they can work their magic to lift Forest into the play-offs.

Finally, United return to Premier League action tomorrow night when Burnley head to Old Trafford.

The Red Devils will be looking to make it nine wins from nine under interim boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
