Manchester United are linked with a big-money swoop for Paris Saint-Germain's Marco Verratti.

Manchester United are reportedly planning to table a bid for Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Marco Verratti.

Red Devils manager Jose Mourinho is willing to part with €100m (£78.9m) to bring the Italy international to Old Trafford, according to Corriere dello Sport.

Verratti, who joined PSG from Pescara in 2012, is sidelined with a groin injury that kept him out of Euro 2016.

The 23-year-old has made 15 senior appearances for Italy and scored one goal at senior international level.

Meanwhile, reports suggest that United are still pursuing Veratti's former PSG teammate Zlatan Ibrahimovic, although the striker's apparent desire to represent Sweden at the Olympics is believed to be holding up the deal.
