19/01/2018 Newsround

with Manchester superstar

Fabienne Delft and Blue Peter

presenters Lindsey and

Radzi take on the

Hat-Trick Challenge.

Morning.

I'm Ricky.

Welcome to Newsround

this Friday morning.

Let's start with some sports news.

And could the rumours be true?

Is Alexis Sanchez likely

to join Manchester United?

Yes!

According to Arsenal

manager Arsene Wenger.

The Gunners' boss says Sanchez

is close to signing a four-year deal

to play at Old Trafford.

And there's big money involved.

The transfer is reported to be worth

a humungous £180 million.

But Wenger warns that it's not

a done deal just yet.

I have worked on transfers for 30

years so it is likely to happen

but any moment, any minutes,

things can break down.

That is how the transfer market is.

So, as long as it is not over

the line, you have to

accept that it may

as well not happen.

These kind of things

are never guaranteed.

From one sporting rumour

to a very different one now.

Because Burnley boss

Sean Dyche has been forced

to deny that he eats worms.

Yes!

You heard me right!

Worms!

The denial comes after one

of his former team-mates said that

he'd seen him eating

the wriggly critters.

But Dyche says it's just

a misunderstanding.

It is fair to say I didn't

actually eat the worms.

It was a bit of banter.

I've done this here and when

I was manager at Watford.

Get a nice big juicy

worm hanging out of the

mouth, and as if you are chewing it.

And then the worm comes up,

wash your mouth out.

A bit of banter which

was probably taken

a bit too far.

He was probably turning

away at that moment.

Possibly a bit of translation

difficulty, I don't know.

He's a good lad.

For the record, I definitely

don't eat worms.

Looks like he's wriggled

out of that one!

But don't worry, no worms

were harmed in that silly joke.

Next, the makers of Toy Story

and Finding Nemo are back

with a brand-new animated adventure.

Coco tells the story

of a boy called Miguel

who discovers his secret family

history when he travels

to the Land of the Dead.

Newsround sent nine-year-old film

fan Rex to find out more.

I know, I'm not supposed to love

music but I can't help it.

I'm going to be a musician.

Miguel, get down from there.

But my family thinks

music is a curse.

No music.

I don't want to be in this family!

Miguel!

What are we going

to do with that boy?

I wish someone would

help me follow my dream.

Hi, I'm Rex, nice to meet you.

Hi, Rex, I'm Lee.

Hi, Rex, I'm Darla.

What message do you think

Coco gives to the world?

There are lots of messages

about the importance of family

which is what the Day of the Dead

is all about,

remembering your ancestors

and passing their stories along, and

remembering them joyously.

But we also explore a lot of ideas

about following your passion.

Where are we?

# I wish you could see.

Welcome to the Land of the Dead.

This isn't a dream.

Did you go to Mexico

to understand how the

Mexicans act?

We did, we went for lots

of different reasons.

We went on many trips to Mexico,

we travelled all over

the country, we took hundreds

of thousands of photographs.

We lived with families

down in Mexico just to

see how they celebrated the Day

of the Dead but also

their day-to-day lives.

He wants no part of it.

You keep away from him.

Where did you get the inspiration

for the characters?

The bossy granny

reminds me a bit of my granny!

Yes, Miguel's grandmother,

the women really run

the families, a lot

are

very strong forces

within the families.

So we really wanted to reflect that.

And they are so protective.

Probably your granny

is bossy because she

just wants to take care you.

Yes.

# This music is my language

and the world is my family.

I really enjoyed the songs

because I play the guitar too.

How important do you

think music is in Coco?

It's really important.

We've never made a movie

at Pixar that has so

much music in it, before Coco.

We've got great music

on the soundtrack, we have a

lot of songs we wrote,

a lot of traditional Mexican songs.

Did you notice that the

chords were correct?

When Miguel was playing his guitar?

Have you had enough

of January's dark long nights?

Well, maybe this could cheer you up?

50 separate art shows are taking

over London's streets,

from the West End to Westminster.
