Ex-Birmingham City boss 'would like to manage Man United' says former teammate as Everton 'eye' West Brom man

With the January transfer window now open for business, clubs across Birmingham are looking to complete transfers - let's see what the Blues and West Brom are looking to do today.

A former teammate of an ex-Birmingham head coach has tipped him to manage Manchester United in the future - meanwhile, Everton are looking at a West Brom youngster.

Everton are 'monitoring' West Brom's Tom Fellows

West Brom winger Tom Fellows has begun to turn heads after he has found himself working his way into the first team - and Everton are thought to be among them, according to a report from Fabrizio Romano on X (formerly Twitter).

Romano states that Everton's owners, 777 Partners, 'like' the player. They would look to sign him when his contract expires in the summer and will then loan him out, so he can gain experience.

Wayne Rooney 'could still' manage Manchester United, says Dimitar Berbatov

It's no secret - Wayne Rooney's time in charge of Birmingham was an absolute failure. His ill-fated tenure saw him win just two of his 15 Championship games in charge of the Blues, before he was sacked on January 2. Despite this, former teammate Dimitar Berbatov still has faith in his managerial abilities, believing he could still manage Manchester United in the future.

Speaking to The Sun, Berbatov said: "I have no doubt that he is going to come back and be a manager because I think that's what he likes to do. I think, ultimately, at one time in the future he would like to be the manager of Manchester United. How he is going to get there is another question.

"I hope he is going to continue to climb that ladder of success in that business to be a manager. Unfortunately, he had a bit of a setback with the Birmingham job. You cannot argue with the numbers though. Losing a lot of games. The team was fifth when he came in, when he was sacked they were 20th. You cannot argue with that."
