Man Utd 'identify' striker target amid 'battle' with Chelsea for Premier League defender
Manchester United are now on international break, heading into the international window in the best possible way after their FA Cup quarter-final win over Liverpool. The Red Devils produced a late extra time miracle to progress to Wembley, and they will be sitting comfortably during the break as a result.
Though, when they do return, United need to hit the ground running and remain in fine form if they want to climb into top four contention. In the meantime, we have rounded up all the latest news and transfer rumours surrounding Old Trafford.

United are reportedly keen on a move for Bournemouth star Milos Kerkez ahead of this summer. That's according to transfer journalist Ben Jacobs, who told CaughtOffside: "Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez is one name on Chelsea’s radar. There is nothing advanced yet, but Chelsea, along with Manchester United, have scouted the talented 20-year-old Hungarian. Kerkez has also been teasing Chelsea fans a little with his social media activity. Scouting doesn’t mean a great deal, and nothing of note is progressing yet, but Kerkez is one to watch in the coming windows.
“Chelsea have plenty of other options. One is Bayern’s Alphonso Davies, but the feeling is he’ll end up at Real Madrid if he leaves Bayern. Chelsea know this so it would be quite surprising if they prioritise Davies. It’s little more than admiration from afar at this point. Wolves’ Rayan Ait-Nouri is going to be in demand this summer, but it’s still too early to tell if Chelsea will move.”
