Manchester United are being linked with a summer move for Marcos Llorente.

According to a report by Fichajes, United are ‘interested’ in signing Atletico Madrid midfielder Marcos Llorente.

United have already signed a midfielder this summer, with Mason Mount arriving from Chelsea, but it seems unlikely that more money will be spent on that department when Erik ten Hag is believed to be prioritising a search for a new goalkeeper and striker.

Llorente might be good – but he’s not a keeper or striker.

Fichajes are not very reliable when it comes to United news, and we usually take their reports with a pinch of salt.

I’d recommend doing that with this story.

Llorente is apparently being valued at £51 million.
