WHAT HAPPENED?
The Independent states that United have made advances on Semenyo, but the possibility of the £60 million-rated ($79.9m) forward arriving this summer may hinge on winning the Europa League and selling some players. Conversely, the report adds that Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap could be signed if they win the competition or not, with the 22-year-old having a £30m ($40m) relegation release clause.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
This is part of United's wider transfer plan, which includes trying to sign Wolves' Matheus Cunha for around £60m and attempting to sell struggling attackers Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee. The report adds that both men, who have a combined Premier League goal tally of seven this season, are on the market – with Juventus being linked with Hojlund and Inter Milan eyeing a loan move for Zirkzee. The fact that the Red Devils may cash in on the duo, who cost £108m ($143.7m) in total, after a combined three years at Old Trafford is telling.
