Roundup – Man United to Agree $15.6million Playmaker Deal, $175million Duo Wanted

After a terrible last month, Manchester United have started this month in worse fashion with a defeat against Turkish side Fenerbahce in the Europa League.
The Red Devils are now third in their group and it will not come as any surprise if they are eliminated from the competition. Not to forget, United are already 8 points behind the league leaders in the PL as well.
As far as Man United’s transfer news is concerned, Jesse Lingard is set to sign a new four year deal (Independent) with the club that will double his salary to £60,000-a-week ($75,000-a-week, $15.6million in four years).
Lingard was impressive last season under the management of Louis van Gaal and Mourinho seems to trust him more than Mkhitaryan so far.
In other news, the Red Devils are heavily linked with two Atletico Madrid stars in the form of Jose Gimenez and Antoine Griezmann. The duo have a combined worth of $175million.
The Uruguayan international has a release clause of $69million in his contract (via Mirror). On the other hand, Chelsea are also interested in signing Griezmann, hence, United will have to act fast if they are to secure his signature.
The French international has a release clause of 85 million pounds ($106million) in his contract (Mirror).
