Morning, United fans
United could bid £60million for Porto striker Evanilson – as Erik ten Hag eyes FIVE of his old Ajax players.
Evanilson’s agent Marcio Barros says only Brighton have so far made a formal offer for the Brazilian.
But the 22-year-old is reportedly now one of Old Trafford chief Ten Hag’s prime targets up front.
Ajax could now be willing to ‘negotiate’ a price for Mexico midfield anchorman Edson Alvarez.
United are also interested in recruiting Brazil winger Antony, Holland defender Jurrien Timber and Argentina centre-back Lisandro Martinez from the Dutch giants.
But it’s claimed Ajax will only sell any of the trio if an exceptional bid comes in.
Most of the talk in the past 24 hours surrounds Anthony – with a £40million fee suggested.
The fifth former Ajax star on United’s list remains Frenkie de Jong.
But the £50m-rated Holland midfielder still seems intent on staying at Barcelona.
Brentford playmaker is ‘undecided’ on his future – as the Red Devils and old club Tottenham hover.
Finally, United are struggling to offload frontman Anthony Martial and central defender Eric Bailly because of their high wages.
