Posted by

Manchester United got back to winning ways this weekend with a morale-boosting 2-1 win over Chelsea, but it’s clear Jose Mourinho still has work to do.

We’ve got the latest Man Utd transfer news here for you in one neat little round-up…

Manchester United ready to pay Mauro Icardi’s release clause – FULL STORY

Manchester United are reportedly ready to pay Mauro Icardi’s £97million release clause at Inter Milan, according to the Sun.

Icardi could be an upgrade on Romelu Lukaku at Old Trafford and seems an ideal fit for the Premier League and Mourinho’s tactical set-up.

Manchester United consider Paul Pogba swap deal – FULL STORY

Manchester United are reportedly ready to sign a surprise player in a swap deal with Real Madrid for Paul Pogba.

Don Balon state that Mourinho is keen to land Raphael Varane as part of any deal for his unsettled star, who hasn’t been as much of a regular in recent games.

Varane could be a useful addition at the back after some unconvincing recent form from the likes of Chris Smalling and Phil Jones in defence.

Football Italia previously stated he could be on his way to Roma for around £26million but this never came to be, with the Ivory Coast international still technically on loan at Milan from Atalanta.

The 26-year-old has impressed in Ligue 1 and looks an ideal fit for Premier League football after his all-action displays in Nice’s midfield.
