THE QUEST FOR POGBA CONTINUES

Manchester United's executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward has reportedly restarted negotiations to re sign Paul Pogba, according to L'Equipe, with a price tag of £82.82 million.

Why not? Paul Pogba is keen to play under Jose Mourinho, and Jose Mourinho was keen on signing the French international back at Chelsea last summer. With the money he has now at Manchester United, Jose Mourinho could be tempted.  They've even got the same agent!

There's no need me explaining how good Paul Pogba is because we know what kind of talent this midfielder is. However, the move to Manchester United may seem unlikely, or even impossible. Back in 2012, when he played for the Manchester United academy, he's desire was to play for the first team for Manchester United and he didn't get that. But now that he has proved himself worthy, he may be tempted himself to return to the club that he loves and play in the league that he loved.

Do you think Paul Pogba is a realistic signing? if not, where do you think seems more likely?

REAL GIVE THE GO AHEAD!

Manchester United have reportedly been given the go ahead by Real Madrid, to sign James  Rodriguez from Real Madrid this summer for a fee of £50 million. Which is a bargain!

There are other factors which may influence the move. James Rodriguez has the same agent as Jose Mourinho which could accelerate the transfer due to the connection.

James Rodriguez is a phenomenal player, and is, in my own opinion, the only player which we actually need. He is a goalscorer and a chance creator. Despite all of these attributes in which he carries, James Rodriguez is often neglected on the bench. This may influence his move to Manchester United also. We just hope that these reports are true.

Nevertheless, we are very close to signing Henrikh Mkhitaryan who is a very similar player to James Rodriguez, and if we sign, I don't think there'll be any loss out of it.

TRANSFER OFFER ACCEPTED?

Reports how that Manchester United will sign Henrikh Mkhitaryan for 40 million euros. The Armenian midfielder has only got one year left on his contract, and recently his agent has been expressing their desires to sign for Manchester United.  If the reports are 100%, which I think probably is, he would have an immediate medical at the club as the Armenian national team were unable to participate in the Euros in France.

So what would we be getting? Henrikh Mkhitaryan played a very vital role for Borussia Dortmund last season, helping the German club to attain second position in the Bundesliga. Here are some of his stats from last season:

1. 52 games
2. 32 assists
3. 23 goals

Those are unbelievable stats, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan can add to the creativity of the team, supplying our strikers and attackers. Ilkay Gundogan also played for Borussia Dortmund alongside Mkhitaryan, before his departure to Manchester City this summer. Here are his stats:

1. 40 games
2. 3 goals
3. 7 assists

Look at the difference! The Manchester derby continues to fire up!

NEYMAR COULD LEAVE?

Barcelona have reportedly made a final contract offer for Neymar with a salary of 15 million euros per year including tax. This is the highest the club could possibly go to keep the Brazilian winger at the club.

Barcelona are desperate to hold on to Neymar as a lot of the big clubs are after the chase. Paris Saint- Germain, Real Madrid, surprisingly why are they even bothering, and Manchester United!

There are a lot of rumours involving Neymar to other teams and does seem likely since he's won every possible trophy at the club. He has been linked to Paris Saint Germain and Manchester United but I can only imagine the player staying at Barcelona. Otherwise, it seems more likely if he joined Manchester United. What do you think?

MORATA SLOWLY EDGING CLOSER!

Arsenal have reportedly dropped out of the queue for the quest to sign Alvaro Morata. Real Madrid have raised the asking price of £60 million to sign the young, Spanish striker.

On Tuesday, the club announced that they have resigned Alvaro Morata and will rejoin the team during the preseason. But it's only likely that Real Madrid will sell him on to another team for money of course. This leaves only Manchester United and Chelsea in the race to sign the striker. But to be honest, there's only one winner in this race. Alvaro Morata is a huge fan of Jose Mourinho who managed him at Real Madrid and gave him a debut which he commented as a moment he'll never forget. Ever since then, Alvaro Morata has also expressed that he has not stopped speaking to the Portuguese manager.

Is £60 million worth it for Alvaro Morata? What do you think?

ZLATAN WANTS REVENGE

Zlatan Ibrahimovic's agent, Mino Raiola has revealed that the Swedish striker wants revenge on Pep Guardiola who is taking over of Manchester City next season in the Barclays Premier League.

Whilst the former Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola and Zlatan Ibrahimovic were both at the club, the pair fell out for whatever reason. Manchester United's manager Jose Mourinho, is not a fan of Pep either. Could this be a rejuvenation of the rivalry between the two clubs.

We look forward indeed to the Manchester derby next season, but who do you think will be on top?

MANCHESTER UNITED MAKE BID FOR JULIAN DRAXLER?

Manchester United have apparently made a whopping bid of £38.5 million for Wolfsburg's Julian Draxler! What a signing he would be, if the reports coming from the Daily Star are true.

The Daily Star also suggested that Manchester United have made an offer for the German International on Monday.

Julian Draxler is no doubt "the most finest German prospect." At the age of 22, he already has the credentials to represent the German national team. That is most definitely proved by his call up to join the squad in the Euros in France. He can play just behind the centre forward, he's tall and physical on the ball as wells as very skillful - just what Manchester United need next season, and I can't think of any other alternatives. What stands out to me is his ability to weave past defenders and pass the ball so accurately despite tight spaces.

Would you like to see Julian Draxler at Manchester United? And if not, can you think of any other alternatives, because
I can't!

ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC IS RETIRING...

from Swedish International football. At the moment though, he's representing Sweden in the Euros in France.

Many people are disappointed with his failure to score a goal in the first two games of the group stages against Italy and the Republic of Ireland. But can you actually blame him. Look at the players around him! At PSG last season, he scored 50 goals! Why is that? Because he has the providers, the midfielders around him. With the likes of Verratti, Angel Di Maria... I could go on forever. When he eventually plays for Manchester United, it would be the same no doubt. We have world class midfielders who can feed him with the likes of Bastian Schweinsteiger, Michael Carrick, Juan Mata, Wayne Rooney... the list goes on. I am confident that Zlatan will be a success at Manchester United.

In fact he will retire from Sweden after the Euros in France, and will not take part in the Olympics in Rio, Brazil. His main focus is to train hard in preparation for his big season at Manchester United!

HUGE HINTS OVER MANCHESTER UNITED MOVE!

Adam Ounas has dropped several hints of a possible move to Manchester United after reports showing that he has been contacted by the club.

Adam Ounas has followed Manchester United and former ligue 1 sensation, just like himself, Anthony Martial on Twitter as well as on Instagram. He also follows Zlatan Ibrahimovic who is to be signed by Manchester United in the next few weeks. Previously, he publicly announced his fond of former Manchester United winger, Cristiano Ronaldo referring to him as an "idol."

The French Under 20 international surprised the French Ligue 1 last season for Bordeaux scoring six goals in 28 appearances. Manchester United scouts have been heavily observing Ounas throughout last season.

Do you think that Adam Ounas will make the first team?

JOSE INTERESTED IN A REUNION?

Surprisingly, Jose Mourinho is looking to sign up Cesar Azpilicueta from Chelsea, his former managerial team.

Azpilicueta is available for a fee of £11.8 million! He is also interested by Paris Saint-Germain and Athletico Bilbao. Sounds all good, but I wouldn't want this player on our team. Especially when we have a queue of Right Backs looking for the first 11, I don't think the Chelsea man is needed.

However, it seems as if he is a very good player. Apparently, no player has made more tackles and interceptions combined in the Champions League this season! Didn't see that coming. Especially when Chelsea didn't even make it that far in the competition! He's also a very versatile player. He can play either on the left or the right of the full back roles.

Do you think we actually need Azpilicueta though?

"BEST ITALIAN DEFENDER" TO MANCHESTER UNITED

Reports show that Manchester United are desperate to launch a bid for Leonardo Bonucci, who is a Centre Back who plays for the Italian giants, Juventus who has also been linked to Chelsea. 

Manchester United are considering a bid of £25 million for the Italian international, but Juventus want double that sum. Bonucci has stood out in that Italian squad for the Euros, and I can definitely see why Manchester United will be looking to sign him up. He's so good at driving balls from defence to create chances. That was evident in the opening match against Belgium assisting a goal from the halfway line!

I have to admit that it will be very difficult to sign up this player. But i'm sure if these reports are fulfilled, he will add security at the back and also experience.

THIS GUY WANTS UNITED SWITCH!

Borussia Dortmund's star midfielder, Henrikh Mkhitaryan wants to go to Manchester United according to agent Mino Raiola, despite links with a host of top Premier League teams including Arsenal and Chelsea.

His agent said: "He wants to go to Manchester United and we are still trying to resolve the situation." According to Daily Mirror though, Manchester United have had an offer of £19 million rejected for the Armenian. It's very true indeed that that 19 million is not a fair reflection of his quality. He is a phenomenal player and I dont think raising the 19 million cash will bother Manchester United.

And this is why, he scored 23 goals and 32 assists in 52 games last season! Mind blowing. He has arguably been the most important player for Borussia Dortmund last season. Do you think Henrikh Mkhitaryan would be an important player for Manchester United?

IT'S OFFICIAL GUYS!

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has completed personal terms with Manchester United on a one year contract and is set for medical after the conclusion of the Euros in France. So hopefully Zlatan is not injured before then.

This just shows how big of a club Manchester United, and how proud we should be to be a fan. He could have gone to so many big clubs but he chose Manchester United!

Do you think that Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be perform well at Manchester United?

JOSE ATTRACTS INTERESTS ELSEWHERE

Reports show that Jose Mourinho has made contact with PSG over the possible signing of Marco Verratti.

Italian company Corriere dello Sport reported that Manchester United are looking to offer up £79 million for the Italian midfielder. Which is kind of ridiculous even though he is a great player. Still, Verratti is a great player. He is often compared to Andrea Pirlo with his ability to drive accurate long balls. He's small and quick on his feet which means he can intercept play and could be just the player we need to supply our attackers. Last season, Marco Verratti played the most accurate through balls in Ligue 1. He was also included in the Ligue 1 team of the season.

Another player interested by Manchester United and also Barcelona and Napoli is Monaco's Right Back Fabinho. Fabinho can also play as a holding midfielder bagging 8 goals and 5 assists in all competitions which is quite phenomenal for a defender. Last season Fabinho won 89 tackles, 62 headed duels and 76 interceptions as wells as creating 25 chances! I've never heard of this player before in my life, but he sounds like a determined defender, something that has been lacking in the Manchester United defence. I really think that's what Mourinho is looking for in our defence, determination. And i think he expressed that in signing Eric Ba
illy. And I'm pretty sure he'll like to follow the footsteps of Anthony Martial, who is achieving dreams, and join Manchester United. And, he's only 22 years of age!

LATEST ON MORATA

Reports show that Alvaro Morata would love to reunite with Jose Mourinho at Manchester United. According to Spanish Newspaper AS, Morata is only interested in playing for Chelsea or Manchester United but it's only likely that he'll sign for Manchester United.

Apparently though, Manchester United are looking to sign the Spanish striker for £47 million as investment. Manchester United will be looking to sign the striker very quickly as he is in demand by the bigger clubs such as PSG.

Who thinks that Alvaro Morata will be a successful striker at the club?

ZLATAN MOVE DELAYED

The move for Zlatan Ibrahimovic to Manchester United has unfortunately delayed.

It seems as if the Swedish international would like to compete in the Olympics, representing his country as he approaches the final chapter of his career. That also means that he could also miss out on the start of the 2016/17 season as recovery time off the Euros being held currently in France and the Olympics in Rio, Brazil.
Reports also show that Zlatan Ibrahimovic would not leave Paris Saint Germain until the end of this month as he's due for a £1 million bonus - it's very complicated. It leaves me wondering whether all of this stress is worth it for a player that's only going to play for a season. It's the equivalence of signing a really good youngster from a team that doesn't want to sell the player but at least it's a long term plan. What do you think?

To be honest though, all the hard work will pay off. We're signing a world class striker for goodness sake!

DAVID DE GEA DILEMMA

Apparently, David de Gea and Iker Muniain were implicated in a sexual assault case! David de Gea has denied the reports. I don't want to dwell too much on this news but i
f you would like to get more information on this though please follow the link below:

http://www.marca.com/en/football/national-teams/2016/06/10/575ac480ca4741b4688b4581.html

Despite David de Gea being a great keeper at Manchester United, if the reports of his assaults are true then he is worthy of any punishment issued against him even if he is the best keeper in the world. It's a shame because this could change everything.

STRIKERS, STRIKERS, STRIKERS!

We all know that Zlatan is 99.9% coming to Manchester United on a one year contract deal, we have very promising strikers with the likes of Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial but, it seems like Jose Mourinho wants more. When you think of Barcelona you think, Neymar, Messi and Suarez. When you think of Real Madrid you think, Ronaldo, Bale and Benzema. You get the point. I think that's what Mourinho is trying to create here at Manchester United, that attacking three. So at whom is Jose Mourinho eyeing?

Manchester United have offered FC Basel a whopping £15 million offer for Breel Embolo. A lot of you might know him from Fifa, but Breel Embolo is a 19 year old rising star who is representing Switzerland in the Euros in France this summer. He's a Centre Forward and can relatively play anywhere up front but his secondary position is Right wing. Last season he scored 13 goals and 9 assists in 40 games. He is a promising star in the making and I think Jose Mourinho will be quick to sign him if he really wants to before any of the big clubs snatch him.

Another player you may have heard of his Alvaro Morata. Alvaro Morata played under Jose Mourinho whilst he was their manager. There, Morata was given a debut by Jose Mourinho and Morata has previously said that he will never forget what he [Mourinho] did for him. The guy loves Mourinho. Could this be a reunion? No-one knows. But what we do know is that Morata is an amazing player. He's a Centre Forward, currently playing for Juventus. Last season he bagged 12 goals and 12 assists in 47. He is a great player!

Embolo and Morata are two players who can continue to develop as players under Mourinho. They are players that can compliment Rashford and Martial up front. And who have an eye for goals.

Just in case you don't know nothing about our new signing Eric Beilly, check out the video below, And don't forget to comment whether or not we should go for another striker and who you rather go Morata or Embolo. Any other suggestion?

CARRICK PUTS PEN TO THE PAPER!

Michael Carrick will continue his long legacy at Manchester United after signing a one year extension to his contract.

Michael Carrick will continue to add experience, direction and defensive support to the team, as he does so often. Jose Mourinho has already expressed his thoughts and opinions on this legend and I think Jose Mourinho will use Carrick to good use on the final chapter of his career! Honestly, I'm heart broken that Roy Hodgson, couldn't pick Michael Carrick in the squad for the Euros 2016. The team lacks experience and direction without Michael Carrick. Unless Rooney is playing!

It's nice to see loyal players such as Michael Carrick, which you don't see too often.

What are your thoughts and opinions on Michael Carrick? Should Manchester United have offered him a contract extension?
