The Old Trafford boss admitted recently that long-term knee injuries to Ibrahimovic and Marcos Rojo had affected his plans for the summer transfer market, saying: “Yes, if I don’t have the players for a long period of time, obviously it affects plans.” Their search for forwards has been ramped up dramatically, and Real Madrid star Morata is one of the players being considered as an alternative in the No.9 role to the Swede, who's bagged 28 goals in 2016-17, as a result of his major surgery.

Seri has enjoyed a superb campaign in France with the Ivory Coast international playing a key role in helping Nice sustain a surprise title challenge. The 25-year-old was outstanding once again on Sunday night as Nice beat Paris Saint-Germain 3-1 to move three points behind the French giants in third place in the Ligue 1 table. The Guardian claim that Seri’s display has convinced PSG boss Unai Emery to pursue the midfielder this summer as a possible replacement for Juventus-bound Marco Verratti.
