Kostas Manolas has emerged as one of Jose Mourinho's top transfer targets, and Manchester United have submitted a formal bid of £32.5 million for the Greece international, according to Emanuele Giulianelli for the Sun.
The United boss has supposedly turned his attention towards Manolas after attempts to bring Victor Lindelof to the club stalled. Lindelof, Benfica's 22-year-old starlet, seemed set to relocate to Old Trafford, but the potential move has made little progress in recent days, as per Giulianelli.
And now it would appear that Mourinho is moving on. Roma centre-back Manolas has been in impressive form for Luciano Spalletti's side, who currently trail Juventus by four points and boast the second-best defensive record in Serie A (18 goals conceded in 18 games).
