Man Utd director John Murtough has been informed of a transfer target’s enormous wage demands, according to a report.
The Red Devils are thought to be plotting a number of stellar transfers ahead of next summer. One position they certainly need to improve is central midfield. The pairing of Scott McTominay and Fred has regularly come in for criticism over the past few seasons.
AC Milan star Franck Kessie is viewed as one solution. The 24-year-old is a dynamic, powerful player who managed 13 Serie A goals last season. He could be on the move as his contract with the Rossoneri expires in June.
An alternative is Leicester City ace Youri Tielemans. The Belgium international is invaluable at the King Power, having scored the winner in last season’s FA Cup final.
