Man United have already moved early in the summer transfer market by putting an agreement in place for highly-rated Colombian teenager Cristian Orozco.
The 17-year-old defensive midfielder is expected to join from Fortaleza CEIF once he turns 18, with United agreeing a fee worth around £750,000.

The move is viewed as one for the future rather than an immediate first-team solution.
United’s transfer activity comes after a sharp improvement in results under Michael Carrick, who has overseen seven wins from his opening 10 matches.
Strong performances against Manchester City, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur have increased calls for him to land the role permanently.
United Plot Four More Signings
Manchester United are also planning further additions, with a younger left-back, left-winger and at least two midfielders all on the club’s summer shortlist.
Elliot Anderson has emerged as one of the standout names after impressing for Nottingham Forest and earning recognition in England national football team colours. Forest are reportedly demanding £80million.
United have also been linked with Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimarães of Newcastle United as midfield reinforcements, reports Mirror.
At left-back, Myles Lewis-Skelly is another player being monitored, with United viewing the Arsenal youngster as a possible long-term successor to Luke Shaw at Old Trafford.
