Check out the latest Manchester United transfer news and gossip over the coming slides:
Cristiano Ronaldo
If David Ginola is to be believed, Manchester United are set to miss out on Cristiano Ronaldo if the forward leaves Real Madrid next summer.
The former Tottenham Hotspur winger has tipped the Portuguese superstar to listen to his wallet and join Paris Saint-Germain at the end of this season.
It remains to be seen whether United will still have a say in Ronaldo’s future, although the player himself has admitted that he’s tempted by a move to Major League Soccer.
Juan Mata
Also on the subject of Ronaldo, Juan Mata has moved to disappoint some Manchester United fans by suggesting that should the Portuguese star return, his comeback wouldn’t carry the same magic as his first stint with the club.
Does the Spain international have a point, or is he merely concerned about his place in the team being taken by the Real Madrid superstar!?
Lionel Messi
However, while the Barcelona superstar is said to be keen on a move to England, he is likely to demand £600k-per-week, a fee that could well be beyond the Red Devils.
Either way, the prospect of Messi and Ronaldo playing together on the same team has never been closer!
Leroy Sane
At the other end of the spectrum, Manchester United are also said to be eyeing Schalke forward Leroy Sane.
The youngster had been tipped for a move to Liverpool, but the Daily Star suggest that United have joined the race to secure the 19-year-old’s signature.
Charly Musonda
Arsenal look to face fresh competition in their hopes of signing Alex Lacazette, with Chelsea understood to be keen on signing the Olympique Lyonnais forward.
Both Diego Costa and Radamel Falcao have failed to impress so far this season, and Jose Mourinho is understood to be eyeing the France international as he seeks to turn the Pensioners’ fortunes around.
