GOOD MORNING RED DEVILS FANS
Man Utd will prioritize signing Erling Haaland over Harry Kane, according to reports.
Manchester Evening News claim John Murtough and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer agree that Haaland is the ‘ideal long-term replacement for Romelu Lukaku’.
Haaland has a £66million release clause that comes into effect in 2022 but the Bundesliga giants could be open to selling him this summer.
A host of top European clubs including Man City and Real Madrid will scrap for his signature – especially if Dortmund fail to qualify for the Champions League.
The 20-year-old knows competition for his signing is rife and is likely to demand wages in the region of £350,000-a-week.
Meanwhile, SunSport can exclusively reveal Man United have received a boost in the race for Jules Kounde – with Sevilla lowering their asking price to around £50million.
Sevilla had originally wanted around £70m up front for the former Bordeaux ace, with clauses and add-ons included on top of that.
But SunSport understands it has been indicated that United would be able to land one of their key summer targets for less than they thought.
United would also be willing to at least double Kounde’s current £70,000-a-week wages if he was to join, alongside incentives for appearances, clean sheets and winning trophies.
Finally, Man Utd and neighbours Man City are locked in a transfer tug-of-war for wonderkid Yusuf Demir, according to reports.
According to Bild, the Manchester duo are also joined by Europe’s giants in a scrap for the Rapid Vienna winger’s signature.
Juventus, Borussia Dortmund, Real Madrid and Barcelona are all closely monitoring his progress.
But it appears United could be leading the chase ahead of their rivals.
Defensa Central report how Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side are the ‘most attentive’ in the transfer race.
