Rumour Reel: Man Utd in for Mkhitaryan, Darmian a Pogba makeweight?

With his BVB contract set to expire next June and 23 club goals scored this season, their have supposedly been a gaggle of suitors with the Red Devils the latest to join. Thomas Tuchel has already lost big names Ilkay Gundogan and Mats Hummels, and the Armenia international attacker’s impending departure is set to be another blow.

Marvellous Mkhitaryan, who also hit 32 assists this term, has the magic that’s been missing at Old Trafford. With the ability to get bums off seats through pure skill, the 27-year-old can drift all across midfield but plays primarily on the right wing, a role the Red Devils have struggled to fill.

Further tabloid tips in the red half of Manchester mention Real Madrid have given up their chase of Spain stopper David de Gea, while Sweden coach Erik Hamren is reported to have told super striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic to delay any announcements over his mooted move until after Euro 2016.

Foxes fall short with Deeney delivery

There was a transfer offer that caused raised eyebrows nationwide yesterday, as Premier League champions Leicester City reportedly saw a £20m offer for Watford frontman Troy Deeney rebuffed.

The Hornets hitman is supposedly keen to swap Vicarage Road for the King Power Stadium to play Champions League football, but Watford don’t look likely to allow their skipper to leave.

Claudio Ranieri’s Foxes are intent on bolstering their attacking options with four competitions to compete in next campaign, while main men Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez are both being linked with exits.

Elsewhere, with Dani Alves moving on from the Nou Camp, there are whispers that Spanish giants Barcelona fancy Chelsea’s Cesar Azpilicueta for the vacant full back role. While, the Blues themselves are set to bag Napoli centre back Kalidou Koulibaly.
