Manchester United remain interested in trying to strike a deal for outstanding RB Leipzig and Spain playmaker Dani Olmo despite his release clause expiring on Saturday.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s newly-formed football operations team have started showing their intent, having so far splashed out £36.5million on Joshua Zirkzee and £52m on Leny Yoro.
Zirkzee gives Erik ten Hag another central striker option and is expected to battle Rasmus Hojlund for that role, while talented teenage centre-back Yoro was a huge need after Raphael Varane’s exit and doubts over the long-term futures of both Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof at Old Trafford.
