Hello and welcome to the daily Manchester United transfer round-up - your one-stop shop for all the latest Manchester United transfer news and rumours!
Let's have a look at what the rumour mill has churned out about the Red Devils today.
#1 Manchester United want Bruno Fernandes
Reports from A Bola via Metro suggest that Manchester United have contacted Sporting Lisbon midfielder Bruno Fernandes with an intention of a potential move in the summer.
The 24-year-old has often been linked with a move to arch-rivals Liverpool, but the Red Devils are reportedly set to table their own offer in the summer. Sporting Lisbon will likely let go of their captain if the right offer is made, given their financial problems.
Fernandes has been of massive importance to Lisbon, scoring 22 goals and assisting 11 more this season.
#2 Red Devils linked to Alessio Romagnoli yet again
Manchester United's hunt for a central defender needs no special introduction. The club has been linked with almost every world-class defender there is in the world right now.
Taking the rumours further, the Premier League giants have been linked with a potential move for AC Milan's Alessio Romagnoli this summer.
In spite of Gennaro Gattuso's repeated insistence on keeping the 24-year-old, the rumour mill has been linking him with moves away to Juventus and Manchester United. Chelsea, too, tried to sign the young captain last season, but failed to break Milan's resolve.
#3 Manchester United plotting move for Ivan Rakitic?
Manchester United have been tipped to make efforts to sign Barcelona's Ivan Rakitic in spite of the player's repeated insistence on staying put at the Nou Camp. The Croatian's contract at Barcelona expires in 2021, and the Spanish giants are yet to offer him a long-term deal at the club.
Mundo Deportivo via Metro claims that Manchester United are confident of luring Rakitic to Old Trafford. He has also been targeted by Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich and Inter Milan, so it remains to be seen which club is successful in getting him.
