This is a name that has not been linked with United before. AS reports that Manchester United are monitoring Real Madrid midfielder Marcos Llorente, who is apparently no longer in Zidane's plans for next season. The defensive midfielder has not been able to break into the Real Madrid team this season and as such, is looking for a move out of the Santiago Bernabeu.

The Spanish news outlet reveals that Llorente has received offers from quite a few Premier League clubs, while also generating interest in Spain as well as Germany. The Spaniard had a superb loan spell at Alaves in 2016/17, which caught the eye of his suitors. He is still just 24 years old, so he will suit Solskjaer's plans for the next season. Even though Athletico Madrid and Sevilla are both keen to get his signature, the midfielder reportedly prefers a move out of Spain.

This is where United have emerged as one of the favourites to land him. Even though no official bid has been submitted yet, Solskjaer could be tempted to bring the Spaniard to Old Trafford, as a back up for Nemanja Matic.
