Manchester United Transfer News: Tiemoue Bakayoko, Zlatan Ibrahimovic Rumours quoting : Bleacher Report

Jean Catuffe/Getty ImagesManchester United will reportedly need to spend £52 million if they're to land AS Monaco star Tiemoue Bakayoko this summer. Ibrahimovic arrived last summer on a free transfer and has the option of staying at Old Trafford for at least one more year. OLI SCARFF/Getty ImagesAccording to the Telegraph's Chris Bascombe, the salary would exceed the £11 million per year deal he's on at United. Bakayoko isn't just an enforcer, though, as he's also comfortable in possession, able to pick a pass or dribble past his opponents confidently. Bakayoko has all the attributes to shine at Old Trafford, though it's clear he won't come cheap.




Jean Catuffe/Getty ImagesChelsea reportedly failed with a €60 million (£52 million) bid for Paris Saint-Germain centre-back and Manchester United target Marquinhos last summer. Meanwhile, United trialist Pierpaolo D'Errico is said to be "dreaming" of a move to Old Trafford. D'Errico played at the Parabita Heffort Soccer Dream tournament with United's under-18s in Lecce and scored a hat-trick for the side before meeting Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Today I trained with the Under-18 and, in the field next door, I saw Ibra [Zlatan Ibrahimovic] and co. work. Elsewhere, highly rated Italian youngster D'Errico has told Italian outlet Di Marzio of his hopes of joining United after recently impressing on a trial with the club (h/t Metro's Sean Kearns).

Manchester United Transfer News: Latest Kevin Strootman Rumours, More

FILIPPO MONTEFORTE/Getty ImagesManchester United manager Jose Mourinho has reportedly turned his attention to Italian club AS Roma, as the Red Devils are being linked with both Kevin Strootman and Antonio Rudiger. Per talkSPORT, Roma will hold out for a fee of more than £30 million, but given his age, athletic gifts and obvious potential, he may well be worth such a fee. Strootman could be a very effective replacement for Carrick, but he does come with some serious red flags. FILIPPO MONTEFORTE/Getty ImagesStrootman was a favourite of Van Gaal when the two worked together at the national team, explaining the links. He'd likely have a similar role, playing next to or behind Paul Pogba, who has many similar traits to Nainggolan.
