TRENDING RUMORS
– Manchester United are facing competition from Aston Villa in the race for Real Madrid striker Endrick, according to the Daily Star. Villa have reportedly expressed their interest in a potential January move for the 19-year-old, who is set to look for a switch away from the Bernabéu after failing to establish himself as a regular under manager Xabi Alonso. The Brazil international got his first minutes of playing time this season as a 79th-minute substitute in Saturday’s 4-0 win over Valencia (stream a replay on ESPN+ in the U.S.). Endrick is on the radar of several clubs in Europe, with sources telling ESPN that Ligue 1 side Lyon are leading the chase, but United would be willing to explore a six-month loan deal for him when the transfer window opens.
– Talks are ongoing between Barcelona and the representatives of on-loan Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford regarding his demands if they decide to sign him permanently, Diario Sport reports. The reigning LaLiga champions would need the 28-year-old to lower the £325,000-per-week salary he picks up at Old Trafford for a deal to become possible, and they would be willing to hand him a longer-term deal in exchange. Rashford has found bright form for Barça, having directly contributed to 10 goals in 13 matches across all competitions.
– A move for United States and Coventry City forward Haji Wright is being prepared by Leeds United, according to Football Insider. The Premier League side are reportedly monitoring the 27-year-old’s situation, as one of their potential options amid plans to strengthen their forward line. It is expected that the Sky Blues would be reluctant to part ways with Wright during the middle of the season, which could make a move more feasible in the summer rather than in January. Wright scored both goals for the U.S. team last month during its 2-1 international friendly win over Australia.
– Napoli are lining up an approach for Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, reports the Daily Mirror. It is believed that the Serie A champions want to sign the 20-year-old on an initial loan deal in January, with a clause that would provide them the opportunity to land him permanently in the summer. Both Kevin De Bruyne and Scott McTominay are said to have supported the idea of a move for Mainoo, and club president Aurelio De Laurentiis is willing to meet his £35,000-per-week salary in full. Mainoo remains interested in a switch away from Old Trafford in January amid hopes of playing regularly to enhance his chances of being selected in the England squad for the FIFA World Cup.
– Tottenham Hotspur are interested in Napoli midfielder Scott McTominay, according to Football Insider. Spurs are reported to be keen to strengthen their midfield in the next transfer window, and the 28-year-old has caught their attention following several impressive performances in Serie A. However, with Kevin De Bruyne currently injured, the Azzurri are expected to be unwilling to part ways with McTominay in January unless they receive a significant offer for his signature.

Craig Morton, quarterback who led the Broncos to their first Super Bowl appearance, dead at 83
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Former Denver Broncos quarterback Craig Morton, who was inducted into the team’s Ring of Fame, died on Saturday. He was 83.
Morton was critical in helping the Broncos reach their first-ever playoff appearance, ultimately getting them to Super Bowl XII during the 1977 campaign.
After going 12-2 during the season, and getting wins in the playoffs over the Pittsburgh Steelers and then-Oakland Raiders, Morton was named the AFC Offensive Player of the Year.

“Craig Morton is unbelievable,” fellow Ring of Famer Haven Moses said after the Broncos won the AFC Championship in 1978, per the New York Times. “To me, he’s the most valuable player in the National Football League.”
Morton also won Sporting News Player of the Year, the PFWA Comeback Player of the Year and the NFL UPI MVP in 1977.
“We are saddened to learn of the passing of #BroncosROF quarterback Craig Morton, who died on Saturday at the age of 83,” the Broncos posted on social media.
Morton also led the Broncos to two different division titles and three playoff berths during his six seasons with the franchise. He finished his career in Denver with 11,895 passing yards, which marked the most in franchise history at the time.

Morton also led the Broncos with pass attempts (1,594) and completions (907). But Morton’s time with the Broncos was the latter half of his NFL career.
He was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in 1965, the fifth overall pick out of Cal. Morton spent the first 10 seasons of his career with the Cowboys, where he threw for 10,279 yards with 80 touchdowns and 73 interceptions. He went 32-14-1 in his time with Dallas.
Then, during the 1974 season, Morton was moved to the New York Giants, a division rival of the Cowboys. He went 1-6 in his first seven starts that year and wouldn’t find much success in New York across three seasons.
