What the papers say

Manchester United are considering swooping for AC Milan’s Turkish midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu, according to the Daily Mail. The 26-year-old is out of contract next summer and has reached an impasse in contract talks with the Serie A club. United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is desperate for more attacking drive after missing out on Jadon Sancho and Ousmane Dembele last summer, and United are set to try to overcome Calhanoglu’s preference for staying in Italy by drastically increasing his wages.
