Football Whispers takes a look at the top stories dominating today's backpages.

Man Utd star could leave for free?

Manchester United took a big gamble this summer by not signing a new left-back, a decision that could come back to haunt them.

Luke Shaw, who joined Man Utd in 2014 and has made 328 appearances for the club, remains their first-choice left-back, but his future has now come under speculation.

According to reports, Shaw could leave Man Utd on a free transfer next summer, with no progress having been made over a new contract.

The 31-year-old has been a fantastic servant to the club, but given his age, he is unlikely to be offered a long-term deal if the Red Devils decide to keep him.

Liverpool transfer plans for attacker revealed

Liverpool are reportedly planning to block any move from Arsenal for Rio Ngumoha in the January transfer window.

The 18-year-old winger is regarded as a highly rated youngster who is expected to play a significant role under Andoni Iraola.

In recent weeks, it has been suggested that Arsenal could try to lure the winger away from Anfield if he fails to secure a regular starting berth.

According to reports, Liverpool have no intention of selling him to a rival club at any price.

Man City and Aston Villa want Argentine goalkeeper?

Manchester City have spent big on signing new midfielders this summer, but they could now turn their attention to strengthening the goalkeeper position in January.

According to reports, Man City are keeping an eye on River Plate goalkeeper Santiago Beltran, with the club having sent scouts to monitor his progress.

The Citizens could face strong competition from Premier League rivals Aston Villa for his signature.

The goalkeeper currently has an £18.2m release clause, but River are looking to increase it significantly, with reports suggesting a new clause in the region of £86.7m.
