Here’s our round-up of the latest Man Utd transfer news as things seem to get closer with the signing of Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez.
But United seemingly won’t stop there as links emerge with other exciting big-name attacking players in a potential revolution by Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford.
Read on to check out the latest United gossip…
Alexis Sanchez’s Manchester United medical done
Reports yesterday claimed Arsenal’s Alexis Sanchez would be having his Manchester United medical last night, so that means it should now be done.
The Chile international looks closer to finalising his move to Old Trafford, with Gianluca Di Marzio yesterday claiming a deal could be hours away.
Despite a little hold-up, it’s looking good as Sanchez should have passed his medical with the Red Devils with no trouble at all.
Manchester United chase Cristiano Ronaldo return
According to stunning claims by AS, United are ready to sanction a £176million transfer return for Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Portugal international is unhappy at the Bernabeu and his first choice is to seal a move back to Old Trafford in what would be a sensational story.
United don’t exactly need another attacking player of his type, but Ronaldo would surely be welcomed back warmly by adoring United fans, despite that being an astronomical fee to pay for a player about to turn 33.
Jose Mourinho makes big promise to Gareth Bale
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has reportedly promised Gareth Bale he can win the Ballon d’Or if he leaves Real Madrid for Old Trafford.
The Wales international shone during his first spell in the Premier League and Mourinho believes he can become the best in the world if he returns.
Talks are ongoing between the Red Devils and Bale, who could be on his way out of the Bernabeu this summer after some unfortunate luck with injuries.
Manchester United given Paulo Dybala boost
Juventus have handed Manchester United a potential boost in their pursuit of Argentine striker Paulo Dybala, it has emerged.
Beppe Marotta has more or less cleared Dybala to leave Juventus if he hands in a transfer request, which United will surely now hope he is willing to do.
The 24-year-old is one of the best attacking players in Europe right now and could be another exciting addition alongside Sanchez and Ronaldo.
Tottenham rival Manchester United for Lucas Moura
Finally, some less positive Man Utd transfer news as Tottenham reportedly join the race for Paris Saint-Germain winger Lucas Moura.
The Brazilian could be a fine addition for any Premier League side after losing his place at the Parc des Princes this term since the arrivals of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe.
United’s interest in Moura may have cooled anyway as they go after Sanchez instead, but it would be a blow to see a talented attacker join a Premier League rival instead.
