Major news sources are reporting that a bid has been submitted by Man Utd for Marcos Llorente, the midfielder currently playing for Atletico. The move confirms reports of long-standing interest in the player, but whether the team will deem it enough for them to part with an important member of their squad remains to be seen. Negotiations are still active, and with no other teams linked, Man Utd appear to have a clear path to completing the deal. Man Utd look balanced this season - 1.71 goals scored and 1.52 goals conceded per game. Marcos Llorente would be expected to bring control and consistency to help push them to another level. Atletico have also been linked with Jonathan David and Ruben Neves while Man Utd are reportedly monitoring Mateus Mane, Kaoru Mitoma and Cole Palmer. Can't get enough Man Utd transfer rumours?
