Latest Manchester United transfer news and gossip with updates on Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins and Lyon midfielder Corentin Tolisso

Manchester United have made contact to sign Corentin Tolisso from Lyon, with the midfielder ready to make a move to Old Trafford.

Tolisso netted against Man United in the Europa League last season, and he has a host of experience at the top level, having played 118 times for Bayern Munich between his two spells at Lyon.

Manchester United may turn their attention to signing a new midfielder in the summer transfer window once a deal for Bryan Mbeumo is agreed and Corentin Tolisso could fit the bill

Man Utd have made 'initial contact' with a Lyon star as the Red Devils are dealt a blow by Brentford in their bid to sign Bryan Mbeumo.

Manchester United still have work to do in the transfer market and remain in talks with Brentford over a deal for forward Bryan Mbeumo as Ruben Amorim hopes to strengthen his team

While no formal move is in progress, Manchester United have monitored a number of goalkeepers since Amorim’s arrival. One of those is Emiliano Martínez of Aston Villa, but “a deal is not being worked on at the moment, with the clubs well apart in their valuation for the Argentine World Cup winner.”
