Manchester United could follow up the signing of Mason Mount with World Cup-winning midfielder Thiago Almada as Erik ten Hag looks to future proof his squad.
The Red Devils are expected to complete the signing of the England star, with the 24-year-old set to depart his boyhood club Chelsea for Old Trafford imminently. The 36-time international is something of a coup for the 20-time champions, especially with arch-rivals Liverpool and German giants Bayern Munich having been mentioned as potential suitors for the attacking midfielder previously.
Having entered the final year of his contract at Stamford Bridge this month, a parting of ways became inevitable this summer when the homegrown ace was unable to reach an agreement over fresh terms. A permanent switch to Manchester United now beckons for the player, with the Blues set to net £55million for the academy graduate.
