Manchester United have been handed a massive boost in signing Roma midfielder Manu Kone at the end of the campaign, according to Il Messaggero.
The Red Devils are expected to strengthen their holding midfield department for next season, and reports claim that they could bring in two high-profile midfielders.
Kone has been linked with the Red Devils on many occasions and reports claim that the Frenchman could be allowed to leave for a knockdown price by the Giallorossi.
The Serie A giants are likely to miss out on Champions League football again. Regardless, they need to secure a capital gain of at least 80 million euros before June 30 to avoid further UEFA sanctions.
Hence, they are likely to part ways with Kone for a knockdown price to recoup funds and it is claimed that a package of around 45 million pounds could seal the deal.
Inter are also keen but are reluctant to pay such a fee.
