This is another news concerning Real Betis and Manchester United. According to the Metro, Solskjaer is interested in bringing highly rated Argentine playmaker Giovani Lo Celso to Old Trafford in the summer and is about to rival Spurs in their quest for Pochettino's countryman.

It was earlier reported that Tottenham had placed a £52m offer for Lo Celso. Pochettino had reportedly chosen his countryman as the prime candidate to replace Eriksen, who could leave Tottenham for Real Madrid this summer. However, it now seems that United are also in the mix for the Real Betis playmaker's signature.

Solskjaer is looking at midfield options for his team after the departure of Ander Herrera and while Lo Celso is a different kind of player, he will be a good replacement for the departing Juan Mata.

The Argentinean enjoyed a fantastic season at Real Betis, registering 44 appearances, scoring 16 goals and picking up 5 assists from the midfield. He would be a fantastic addition to the United midfield, but Real Betis have inserted a £88m release clause in his contract. The La Liga side are hoping that a bidding war between two Premier League sides can get them an offer closer to the release clause.
