#1 Manchester United interested in Philippe Coutinho
The Metro reports that United have been in touch with Barcelona regarding a possible move for Philippe Coutinho. The Brazilian started life at the Camp Nou on fire after making the move from Liverpool in January last year. However, he was unable to carry forward that form this season and failed to impress both the club hierarchy as well as the fans. As such, the Catalans are mulling over the idea of letting him leave, however, they are interested in recuperating a chunk of the £142m they paid for Coutinho, which means that they want at least £88m for the player.

Mundo Deportivo reveal that the Brazilian has told his close friends that he wants to quit Barcelona in the summer. If reports are to be believed, the Catalans offered him to PSG this week in a cash plus player deal for Neymar, however, nothing concrete has been registered yet.
Chelsea and Manchester United were apparently interested in Coutinho, but with the London club slapped with a transfer ban, the Red Devils are currently the front runners in that race. However, United's lack of Champions League football have put them in the backfoot in the deal. This is one transfer that has a lot of complications and might not be sorted out easily.
Stay tuned for more Manchester United news and rumours.
