Paul Pogba may finally become a Manchester United player within the next 24 hours.

United have been long admirers of the Frenchman, who left Old Trafford four years ago.

According to the Telegraph, Pogba will complete his move to United today (Thursday).

The deal would be a world record deal, and is believed to be way off he $100m price tag.

Jose Mourinho had stated before Wayne Rooney's testimonial match on Wednesday that United will sign on more player, but refused t comment if Pogba was the player in view.

Valencia want €13m for Manchester United target

Manchester United have been linked with Valencia whizkid Ferhat Cogalan.

The 14 year old, and his father were recently invited to Old Trafford for talks regarding a move. The youngster currently has another five year on his deal with Valencia, which runs out in 2021.

His father has however opened up that Valencia will demand nothing less than €13m for the player.

“Valencia want at least €13 million for Cogalan and do not want to let him go." He said.

The Player has also attracted interest from top clubs like Borussia Dortmund, PSG and Bayern Munich.

His father has said a club like United is worth considering, though they are not in a hurry to make a move.

"We’re in no hurry because Ferhat is in contract with Valencia until 2021.

"But when a club like Manchester United invites us, it is logical that we study the proposal, right?"

Galatasaray to offer Wesley Sneijder as part of deal for Manchester United star

Manchester United have been long time admirers of the Dutchman, but this may be an opportunity coming too late.

According to reports from Turkey, Galatasaray are preparing to include Wesley Sneijder in a deal for Manchester United's Marouane Fellaini.

Sneijder was one of Mourinho's favorites player at Inter Milan, and the duo may welcome the possibility of working together again.

According to the report, the deal would be a straight swap between both clubs and players.

Galatasaray are reportedly keen on a combative midfielder, and see Fellaini as a good option.

Inter Milan and Everton are also reported to be eyeing Sneijder.

At 32, Sneijder may not perfectly fit into the class of midfielder United currently want. There is Michael Carrick, 34 Bastian Schweinsteiger, 31 and buying another player in his thirties would be a huge risk.

A good move coming too late?

What do you think?

The defender has already started getting prepared for the pre-season as he posted a video of himself on Instagram working out on a treadmill.

Fernabache could sell another former United star

The Turkish giants are open to selling former Manchester United striker Robin Van Persie.

The 32 year old left United last summer, and maybe leaving Turkey just after one season depending on whether he wants to leave.

Fernabache have confirmed that former United winger Nani would be leaving for Valencia, and the club may sell the second former United player on their pay list.

“Van Persie, we’re waiting for buyers, if he wants to be sold,” Fenerbahce president Aziz Yildirim said.

A striker of Van Persie's class will not be short of suitors.

Man United target prefers Real Madrid against agent's advice - Report

Manchester United's pursuit of Paul Pogba may have suffered a giant setback as the Frenchman reportedly prefers a move to Real Madrid than a return to United, against the advice of his agent Mino Raiola.

According to Manchester Evening News, Pogba would prefer to remain with the Italian Champions than move to Old Trafford.

Raiola has been vital to United's transfer dealings so far, with two of his top clients Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan would be moving to United in the next few days.

Raiola has reportedly advised the Frenchman to work with Mourinho at United for three years then make a move to Real Madrid in 2019, but the player is turning down the suggestion.

Despite the player's huge interest in a move to the Spanish capital, Real may not be so keen on the player, as reports in Spanish outlet AS claims president Florentino Perez is not a huge fan of the 22 year old. While the Spanish club have been linked with Leicester City's N'Golo Kante who could be a cheaper alternative.

Mourinho is keen on strengthen United's midfield with a top signing, with Pogba getting proving difficult to get, he may have to switch to other readily available targets.

Picture: United's next signing to arrive in Manchester with his chef

José Mourinho's second signing won't be arriving in Manchester alone, this we can confirm.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has said he won't be arriving at his next club alone. He would be moving in with his chef.

The 34 year old posted the picture below of himself and his chef on his Instagram page with the caption:

"I will bring my chef from Paris with me to my next destination!"

A exclusive report by the BBC, says United should be completed by the end of the week.

This will put an end to weeks of speculation about his future.

Great to know, Zlatan!
Manchester is waiting for you.

Real Madrid trio could be available to Man United - Report

Real Madrid could be preparing for an exodus that will see United targets James Rodriguez, Alvaro Morata and Raphael Varane leave the club according to reports from Spain.

Mourinho is an admirer of the three players, having worked with them during his time at the Bernabeu. And there is a slim possibility any of the trio could move to United.

According to El Confidencial, the three could be on their way out of Madrid, with United and a host of other clubs weighing up bids for the players.

United have been linked with Varane, even before his move to Real Madrid in 2011.

He was touted as a potential signing for Mourinho days and weeks after the Portuguese took over at United.

Mourinho has however signed Eric Bailly, which reduces a chance of a move for the Frenchman.

Colombian attacking midfielder, Rodriguez could also become available, but according to the report, Chelsea, Manchester City and PSG are in the fore-front the player.

Alvaro Morata, who has just arrived from Juventus could also be in his way out again.

Real Madrid triggered his buyback clause to bring him back to the Spanish capital. But Real could have done that for business purpose. That is selling the forward for a much higher price to make profit.

According to El Confidencial, Mourinho is interested in the striker for whom Real are expecting a bid in the region of £50m. Chelsea and Arsenal have also been linked with the player.

With United closing in on Zlatan Ibrahimovic, a deal for Moratta looks unlikely. But ever say never.

Man United to complete second major signing this weekend - Report

Manchester United should complete the signing of Zlatan Ibrahimovic this weekend according to the BBC.

United have long been linked with the 34 year old, who announced his retirement from international football during the European Championship.

His retirement ruled him out of featuring for the Swedish football team at the Olympics, and it is believed that Ibra's retirement was to pave way for his early move to United.

He would be Mourinho's second signing at United after defender Eric Bailly.

The Ivorian joined from Villarreal for £30m, but Zlatan will be joining on a free transfer after his deal with PSG expired last season, and he decided not to put pen to a new deal.

This will be a huge news for United fans, a lot of whom can't wait to see Ibrahimovic in the United jersey.

United can also confirm Mkhitaryan early next week, as Dortmund CEO Watzke confirmed an improved bid from United, that has changed things, though the final decision on his move would be taken by the club's hierarchy this weekend.

And a medical and confirmation would be expected next week.

Potential Manchester United signing may face old club on his debut

Henrikh Mkhitaryan could face his old club Dortmund on his Manchester United debut if he features in United's first pre-season match on July 22.

José Mourinho is close to signing the playmaker, after Dortmund CEO confirmed that United had submitted an improved offer that has changed things.

The club will make a final decision this weekend on the player's transfer.

He is expected to have his medicals next week, and the deal would be confirmed before United jet out to China for their pre-season games.

United face Mkhitaryan former club in this first game on July 22, before playing neighbour's City three days later.

Depending on Mourinho's selection for the game, Mkhitaryan could feature against Dortmund.

A good number of United players will enjoy extended holidays, due to their involvement in the European Championship with increases the chances of Mkhitaryan playing against Dortmund.

These could give Manchester United advantage in the race to sign Paul Pogba

Manchester United's developing relationship with super agent Mino Raiola, and Real Madrid's indecision on whether to sign Pogba or not could help the Old Trafford giants in their quest to sign the Frenchman.

United are currently close to completing the signature of two of Raiola's top clients in Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan and that could help ease negotiations with Juve for Pogba.

Raiola played a key role in Mkhitaryan anticipated move to Old Trafford, after Dortmund initial refusal to negotiate a deal for the player.

Mourinho has made Pogba a top priority this summer as he bids to strengthen the United midfield.

According to Spanish outlet AS, early negotiations are currently ongoing between United and the Riaola: Who is Pogba's agent.

United are hoping to outsmart Real, who are still contemplating on whether to make a bid for Pogba or not.

According to AS, Madrid president Florentino Pérez is not a Paul pogba fan, but manager Zidane, believes his countryman can make the Champions League winners a stronger side and wants him to join.

Juve on the other hand are holding out for a record €120m for the player, in a bid to scare clubs away and are also prepared to offer the 23 year old an improved deal.

Former Manchester United star to join Valencia

Former Manchester United winger Nani will be joining Spanish side Valencia Fenerbahce's president Aziz Yildirim has confirmed.

The Portuguese star left United last season for the Turkish club alongside Robin Van Persie.

The 29 year old scored 13 goals and had nine assists to his credit last season with Fenerbahce.

"Nani will play for Valencia next season," Yildirim told AMK Sport.

Nani failed to live up to the high expectations he arrived with at Old Trafford.

Especially after the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, much rested on his shoulders, but he never reached the full heights United fans believed he could. Inconsistency and maybe wanting to be like Ronaldo were his undoing.

Would be great to see him play for Valencia.

The winger was one of Dortmund's best players last season. He contributed 18 goals and 20 assists to the team's course last season.
