Man Utd offered £35m transfer option to address Erik ten Hag's midfield headache

Manchester United are reportedly mulling over a move for Porto's £35million-rated midfield star Vitinha, who has been tipped to leave the Portuguese giants 'imminently'.

United are expected to be active in the transfer market under their new boss, Erik ten Hag, as the former Ajax chief bids to remould a playing squad that finished in sixth place last term; United's worst-ever finish in the Premier League era.

One area of the squad that the Dutchman is seemingly keen to reinvigorate is midfield, with United already chasing a blockbuster deal for Ten Hag's former Ajax general, Frenkie de Jong. But with the likes of Paul Pogba, Nemanja Matic and Juan Mata all departing the club this summer, United will need more than just the Barcelona man if they are to improve next season.
