Manchester United have been linked with a summer approach for Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitic in a bid to replace departing fan favourite Ander Herrera, with the Catalans rumoured to be open to selling a number of players as part of a squad rebuild ahead of next season.
It is not the first time that United have been credited with interest in the Croatian star, although earlier rumours dried up as interest cooled when new manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer appeared to have calmed the uncertainty surrounding Paul Pogba.
However, now that Pogba's future is once again the subject of enormous speculation after a terrible end to the season it makes sense that United could potentially be exploring midfield options.
