MAN UTD MAKE HUGE TRANSFER BREAKTHROUGH WITH ‘£42M BID ACCEPTED’ AS EVERTON PLOT BOLD HIJACK

We begin Wednesday’s Premier League transfer rumour round-up with news of Manchester United’s ongoing pursuit of French sensation Leny Yoro. The Red Devils have been linked with the Lille defender for some time now, but face strong competition from Real Madrid, who are understood to be the teenager’s preferred destination.

Nevertheless, according to journalist Nabil Djellit, United have made a written, formal offer for Yoro, worth around £42.2 million plus bonuses, which has been accepted by Lille. It is claimed that the bid is ‘superior’ to Madrid’s proposal for the player. Attention will now turn to convincing the 18-year-old to choose Manchester over the Spanish capital.
