Manchester United are on the trail of Atletico Madrid's classy midfielder Koke, while they have also received a boost in their pursuit of Borussia Dortmund defender Mats Hummels.
According to Marca (via Lee Thomas-Mason of Metro), United have "knocked on the door of Koke and Atletico Madrid" over a possible switch to Old Trafford, but Atletico would only be obliged to accept the offer if the Red Devils match the Spaniard's £46 million release clause.
Despite the signings of Ander Herrera and Angel Di Maria, United are still short of the creativity they boasted in midfield during the heady days of Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs.
