Spanish newspaper Sport says Real Madrid head Florentino Perez is fed up with dealing with Pogba's manager, Mino Raiola something Manchester United knows all too well.

The Reds are said to be willing to make an offer of £107million (€125m) as they look to further strengthen their squad. Havertz has been in superb form for the Bundesliga side in recent seasons and is regarded as one of the hottest prospects in Europe.

Two more signings!

“I do think he Bruno Fernandes will be a great addition, I think he is something that is exactly what Manchester United need,” Smith said on Sky Sports News.

“You would think Manchester United maybe needs another center-back, I think they probably do. I also think they probably need another center-forward, just something a bit different to what they have got at the moment.”

Marcos Llorente

Manchester United scouts have suggested Atletico Madrid’s Marcos Llorente as a probable January signing to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer who wants to bring in at least one midfielder.

Bruno Fernandes rests the club’s primacy having held positive debates with Sporting officials.
