Manchester United are looking for reinforcements with the summer transfer deadline just two weeks away.
The 3-1 home loss to Crystal Palace has accelerated the urge for new recruits, with Jadon Sancho as the number one target. Borussia Dortmund have been expecting £ 108m all summer, but Ed Woodward is said to be confident that they will lower the price before the deadline on personal terms already agreed with the England international.
The left back is another priority position to improve with Alex Telles del Porto, another to be linked. A five-year contract with a fee has been agreed with the Portuguese club which is now being haggled. There could also be a series of outings with Chris Smalling still ready for Roma and Jesse Lingard as a surprise target for Tottenham Hotspur and former boss José Mourinho.
RUSSIAN INTEREST IN LINGARD
Zenit St. Petersburg is reportedly interested in bringing Manchester United winger Jesse Lingard to Russia, claims The Daily Star.
Lingard has slipped down the pecking order at Old Trafford, and could be forced to look for first-team opportunities elsewhere if Jadon Sancho arrives before the transfer window closes.
The 27-year-old made 22 Premier League appearances for United last season, scoring once.

COACH ROMA FONSECA DEMANDS SMALL
Roma manager Paulo Fonseca has once again stated that he wants to bring Manchester United defender Chris Smalling back to Roma.
Smalling enjoyed a successful all-season loan with the Serie A team last season, and is believed to be eager to return to the Italian capital.
However, both clubs are still at odds on the terms of the deal, with Roma offering in the region of £ 12 million, £ 8 million short of United’s valuation.
Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport claims Fonseca has demanded reinforcements after its 0-0 draw on opening day against Verona, and when asked about Smalling, Fonseca said: “Chris [Smalling]? I want it here. “

UNITED WILL NOT SIGN A CENTER BEHIND
Manchester United will not sign a new center-back despite their 3-1 loss to Crystal Palace.
Athletic’s David Ornstein says that despite their loss to Palace on the opening day, the club is prioritizing other positions.
According to Ornstein, United are still trying to finalize a deal with Borussia Dortmund for Jadon Sancho.
Furthermore, the club is believed to be in the market for a left-back, with Porto’s Alex Telles now the leading candidate following the signing of Sergio Reguilon by Tottenham.
Roma are still in negotiations with United over the purchase of Chris Smalling, but if the clubs can’t come to an agreement for the 30-year-old, Smalling may be reintroduced into United’s first team, Ornstein says.

INDICATE TO FORCE TO EXIT PORTO
Manchester United are prioritizing a left-back and are confident of signing Porto left-back Alex Telles.
Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano claims Telles is pushing to leave the Portuguese team to join United.
Romano believes an opening offer from the Premier League team is looming, but that they are also looking for alternatives.
United are also looking for a right-back and central potential, according to Romano.
