Manchester United 'are growing increasingly confident they could sign Saul Niguez in a club record £135million deal' as they look to replace Paul Pogba.
The Old Trafford club have been long-term admirers of the Atletico Madrid midfielder and sent scouts to watch Saul as he helped knock Liverpool out of the Champions League earlier this month.
And, according to The Daily Star, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer received a glowing report, confirming Saul as a prime target for the next transfer window.
