da stake casino： Following their 2-1 win over Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final, Manchester United’s 2015/16 campaign is well and truly over – so it’s time to start thinking about the summer transfer window.
da pinup bet： And logic suggests the off-season will see the Red Devils obliterate their spending records on a raft of new talent once again following a largely underwhelming season at Old Trafford.
After all, United are the richest club in the Premier League, which is about to embark upon a new television deal that will see the division’s collective spending jump up to an unprecedented £8billion.
Furthermore, the Red Devils are also set to welcome a new manager in Jose Mourinho whose prior three Premier League titles were all funded by enormous transfer budgets.
Consequentially, it’s more than likely we’ll see the Red Devils break their club record transfer fee this summer, eclipsing the £59.7million spent on Angel Di Maria in summer 2014.
With that in mind, here are FIVE rumours targets who could become United’s next record signing during a window of star-studded recruitment at Old Trafford.
ANTOINE GRIEZMANN
Jose Mourinho was hot on Antoine Griezmann’s heels during his time as Chelsea manager and will be equally keen to bring the France international to Manchester United, especially considering the Red Devils’ struggles in the final third this season. The 25-year-old made his name as Real Sociedad’s talismanic wide man but has flourished as a centre-forward since signing for Atletico Madrid in summer 2014, going on to net 57 times in 106 appearances. But the Mattress Makers are desperate to hold onto the industrious forward, with plans in place to bump up his release clause to a whopping £77million.
GARETH BALE
Gareth Bale has been linked with Manchester United practically ever since signing for Real Madrid three years ago and certainly suits their more traditional philosophy of clinical, breakneck-paced goals on the counter-attack. Needless to say, the Welshman is up there with the best forwards in world football, notching up 19 goals and ten assists in 23 La Liga appearances this season, and furthermore obtained such status in the Premier League with Tottenham Hotspur. Already the world’s record signing at £87million, it’s likely the Red Devils would have to pay a similar fee to sign the 26-year-old this summer.
HARRY KANE
Manchester United were linked with Harry Kane last summer and the Tottenham Hotspur’s star superb form since suggests their interest has only grown. Indeed, the 22-year-old made a mockery of the one-season-wonder tag to finish up as the Premier League’s top scorer this term, netting 25 times in 36 appearances, and now looks set to lead the line for England at the European Championships in France. But the chances of Spurs selling their talismanic striker anytime soon, especially to a divisional rival, remain relatively slim – so it’s more than likely United would have to break the £60million mark.

ROMELU LUKAKU
Another potential solution to United’s lack of netting prowess, the Old Trafford outfit have been linked with Everton striker Romelu Lukaku continuously throughout a campaign which has seen him bag a career-best 25 goals across all competitions. That brings the Belgium international’s Premier League total to 60 in 149 appearances – a phenomenal return for a developing frontman who has just turned 23. But Lukaku’s proven potency in England does inflate his price-tag somewhat, with recent reports claiming the Toffees value him at a staggering £65million.

PAUL POGBA
A combination of domineering physicality, technical skill and proficiency in front of goal has seen former Manchester United youngster Paul Pogba emerge as arguably the top midfielder in world football since swapping Old Trafford for the Old Lady in summer 2012. Having gone on to lift four Serie A titles with Juventus, it seems inevitable the France international will decide to ply his trade in another top flight next season. The 23-year-old would add world-class quality to United’s underwhelming engine room and must feel has unfinished business with the Red Devils, but agent Mino Raiola claims the Italian champions will only sell for a whopping £77million.
