Manchester United have splashed in excess of £150million to sign the trio of Romelu Lukaku, Victor Lindelof and Nemanja Matic this summer, but despite the summer spree, manager Jose Mourinho is believed to be in the market to make another big signing before the end of the summer transfer window.

It has widely been claimed that Mourinho is currently in pursuit of Inter Milan attacker Ivan Perisic but now in shock reports from Spanish outlet Diario Gol, claims have been made that United are currently in the hunt to sign versatile Barcelona star Sergi Roberto.

Despite being a midfielder, Roberto admirably deputized at right-back for Barcelona last season and many including United boss, Jose Mourinho, are said to have been left impressed with the performances of the 25-year-old.

Now reports are claiming that United are plotting to make a move for Roberto and that the player is also keen on joining the Red Devils, having already been in constant contact with Mourinho over the potential transfer.
