Manchester United are pushing for their second signing of the summer as they reach an agreement with Lille over Leny Yoro having already landed Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna Manchester United have already landed a deal for Joshua Zirkzee and a second could be inbound in the form of Leny Yoro.

The Red Devils have ramped up their transfer activity in recent weeks, which has coincided with the arrival of Dan Ashworth as sporting director.

Erik ten Hag's position was confirmed shortly after the FA Cup victory and he's set about targeting problem areas in the squad.

Defensive recruits - as well as more firepower - are likely to be their main priorities.

They also retain an interest in PSG's Manuel Ugarte but they are working with a limited budget and may have to offload players to spend more with the likes of Harry Maguire linked with the exit door.

Here's the latest transfer news coming out of Old Trafford.

Los Blancos were keen on waiting until he was available on a free, but Lille's agreement with United means that Yoro will now head to the north west of England to finalise personal terms, reports the Athletic.

The Red Devils have the young centre-half on their shortlist and the French club were looking to sell with Yoro's contract winding down.

The Ligue 1 side had strongly favoured a deal with the Red Devils as they looked to cash in on their asset.

United are hoping to secure a player in Yoro who is regarded across the game as being a generational talent.

Those at Old Trafford acknowledge they cannot allow Greenwood to play for the club again but want to maximise their profits.

They are conscious though of Greenwood maximising his talent and eventually become a world star, which would see his value skyrocket.

United want to ensure they would be rewarded financially if the 22-year-old does move on to even bigger and better things.

Casemiro's influence in Manchester has begun to fade ( Image:Despite his quality and a CV that includes a haul of Champions League successes whilst in Spain questions were asked when United signed a 30-year-old to a five-year deal on astronomical wages.

Now with Casemiro poised to turn 33 next season - and no longer a guaranteed starter - United have an expensive asset on their books which they can't rid off.

The MEN reports that no Saudi Arabian interest has materialised, which some expected to be the case, and United may have to keep hold of the Brazilian.
