Jose Mourinho is weighing up a summer swoop for Arsenal’s Aaron Ramsey.
The Manchester United boss is a big fan of the Wales midfielder, who has one more season left on his Gunners contract.
With £89m Paul Pogba struggling to justify his place and price tag and Mourinho claiming privately that he and new striker Alexis Sanchez are “killing the team” – the United boss is set to make big changes in the summer.
And he is understood to see midfielder Ramsey’s all-action, box-to-box style as something that could help lift his struggling side.
Ramsey is also being monitored by Chelsea.
He revealed last week that his contract situation was not an Arsenal priority as they concentrated instead on talks with Sanchez, Mesut Ozil and Jack Wilshere.
The 27-year-old has been with the Gunners for a decade, after snubbing a move to Old Trafford when he left Cardiff as a teenager.
But after moving up and down Arsene Wenger’s pecking order during that time, he is contemplating whether it is now time to move on.
