Manchester United Transfer News: Mario Mandzukic Boost, Nicolas Otamendi Rumours

Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone has admitted he finds Mario Mandzukic irritating, boosting Manchester United's chances of signing the Croatian striker.

The Red Devils "have been offered" Mandzukic, according to Simon Jones of the MailOnline. The Sun's Dan King also suggests Louis van Gaal's side are "closing in on" his signature, something Simeone has fuelled by his honest comments to Spanish publication AS (h/t Daniel Prescott of the Daily Mail):

[Mandzukic] annoys me easily, that's the reality. He is a great player and a decent lad.
