The winter window opened on Jan. 2, and, as always, Transfer Talk has its finger on the pulse when it comes to all the latest rumours and gossip. Manchester United have struggled for goals this season, netting just 24 times in 20 Premier League games, sparking debate as to what Louis van Gaal can do to increase their firepower. With Wayne Rooney struggling for form and very few other options, LVG has little other choice but to delve into the transfer market. The Brazilian's been in superb form this season netting 14 La Liga goals, but it will be remain to be seen if the Red Devils actually do decide to activate his release clause in the January transfer window -- this summer seems like a far more realistic possibility. Elsewhere, Chelsea have joined the race alongside Manchester City and Juventus to sign Real Madrid's Isco. The Blues are reportedly planning to spend big following a disastrous first half of the season and are looking to the Spanish playmaker to help start their revival. According to The Evening Standard, Madrid are unwilling to sell but the 23-year-old might try and force a move with concerns that he could lose his place in Spain's squad for Euro 2016. But that was before Rafa Benitez was replaced by Zinedine Zidane, who reportedly convinced Isco to ignore Man City in 2013.
