Lyon duo
Manchester United are monitoring Lyon duo Moussa Dembele and Houssem Aouar.
That’s according to the Daily Mail, who claim executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward is planning heavy investment this summer.
The Red Devils are eager to bolster their attacking options and have identified the French pair as potential targets.
Dembele, 23, is valued at a staggering £84million while 21-year-old Aouar could be signed for £52m.
Paul Pogba swap
Juventus want to use Aaron Ramsey and Adrien Rabiot in the deal to land Paul Pogba from Manchester United.
Pogba, 26, looks set to leave United in the summer after an injury-ravaged season at Old Trafford where he has barely set foot on the pitch.
And, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juve are preparing a £125m package for the World Cup winner.
It would include former Arsenal midfielder Ramsey and Rabiot part of the deal.
Jadon Sancho backing
Dimitar Berbatov has backed Manchester United to sign £100million-rated Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho.
The England international is expected to leave the Bundesliga in the summer and United are in the hunt for his signature alongside Manchester City and Chelsea.
Former Red Devil Berbatov believes it would be wise for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to make the deal, telling Betfair: “Is Ole Gunnar Solskjaer going to sign him for Manchester United? Why not?
“Coming from my time there, I would like to see him go to Old Trafford.”
Jack Grealish race
Manchester United will have to act quickly if they want to sign Jack Grealish in the summer transfer window as Aston Villa chiefs draw up a new contract for their talisman.
Grealish has scored seven goals and provided five assists in the Premier League this season to thrust him up the list of many European heavyweights’ transfer targets.
But if the Red Devils want to snap up their man it would be wise to get a deal in place before the prospect of a new contract is proposed to Grealish.
That is because the Sunday Mirror claim a £60million release clause is currently in Grealish’s deal which he signed at the start of last season.
Grealish put pen to paper of the £70,000-a-week terms at the start of last season but Villa chiefs now realise they will have to pull out all the stops to convince him to stay.
