Manchester United have reportedly opened talks with Valencia over a £30 million deal for midfielder Carlos Soler.
According to The Sun's Mike McGrath, Soler has a £75 million buyout clause, but his club are prepared to field cash offers for him.
United are hoping to add to their options and believe he can be a "long-term contender" to secure a starting berth alongside Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic, and as such, they want to secure a deal for him before the transfer window opens and they potentially face a "bidding war" for his services.
