Arsenal are meanwhile set to push on with their first signing of the summer with a bid for Bournemouth’s Ryan Fraser set to be lodged. A new centre-back is high on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s priority list at United with Napoli’s Kalidou Koulibaly and Leicester’s Harry Maguire both options. Crystal Palace’s Aaron Wan-Bissaka is another on the Norwegian’s radar.

It won’t just be incomings at Old Trafford, however, with Pogba a high-profile target for Real Madrid and Alexis Sanchez on his way out with Inter Milan and Juventus fighting it out for his signature – if he drops his wage demands. And Liverpool could be active too as they look to go one better after failing to win the Premier League title by just a single point.

Netherlands international Terrence Kongolo may yet be handed a Premier League lifeline despite relegation with Huddersfield Town, according to The Mail.

Newly-promoted Aston Villa are interested in recruiting him for their first campaign back in the top flight, enquiring over the former Monaco man. Huddersfield had the second-worst defensive record in the league last season, and were relegated on just sixteen points.

Dean Smith is looking to buy strongly this summer in an attempt to avoid suffering a similar fate to The Terriers.
