Reds want Muller in double raid

United could even make it an amazing double raid on Bayern by signing star striker Thomas Muller, according to German magazine Kicker. The World Cup winner would be an ideal replacement for Robin van Persie and is a favourite of Louis van Gaal, who brought him into the first-team during his time in charge at the Allianz Arena.

United still in for Stones

Manchester United are also dead set on competing with rivals Chelsea for the signing of Everton defender John Stones this summer, according to sources at ESPN, who claim a swap deal involving Jonny Evans could be on the cards.

Otamendi deal close

In another move to strengthen at the back, the Metro reports that United may finally be close to signing long-term target Nicolas Otamendi from Valencia in a £35m move, with the Argentine international now a priority as Sergio Ramos looks set to sign a new contract.

United tipped to sign Biglia

According to various sources today, it looks like United could also be signing Lazio midfielder Lucas Biglia for around £17.5m, with the Argentine battler set to become the club’s third signing in central midfield this summer.
