Man United have eyes on Brazilian attacking midfielder, Lorran.
It feels like the summer transfer window has only just shut, though the transfer rumours will continue, particularly where Manchester United are involved.
Erik ten Hag knows this squad still needs some fine tuning, as he slowly builds a side capable of challenging for the Premier League title with real seriousness.
Fabrizio Romano is usually bang on the money when it comes to these transfer rumours, with the Italian journalist now crediting United with interest in Brazil talent, Lorran.
According to the claim, United ‘recently tracked’ the top Brazil talent who was born in 2006.
Lorran has a £43m (€50m) release clause in his current contract, though the Reds may face competition from Chelsea for his signature, with the Stamford Bridge club also keen on the young man.

The fact that he has been signed to a major agency already tells you that he has many backers and believers across the footballing world. I’m not going to sit here and tell you Lorran, an attacking midfielder, is the next big thing. I’ve never seen him play.
However, as we know, Brazil always produce elite level talents and there’s no reason for us to believe that has changed. This would be an expensive deal given his age, but if the manager truly trusts in his talent and ability then you have to go out there and make the move happen. There would be some immense pressure on the shoulders of the young man, mind.
Do you think Lorran is the type of signing that would flourish at Man United? Let us know your thoughts in the comment box below.
