MANCHESTER UNITED have reportedly lined up a £65million move for Arsenal and Newcastle target Moussa Diaby.
That’s as they look to replace Jadon Sancho in this summer’s transfer market.

However, United have now joined the race after “posting an interest.”
Strengthening the wing is not a priority right now, with United first hoping to conclude a deal for Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount.
But due to concerns over Sancho, leading to a potential exit, Diaby has now cropped up as a target for Ten Hag.
He is sure to cost a pretty penny though, with Leverkusen valuing him at a staggering £65m.
And Diaby himself is happy under ex-Liverpool star Xabi Alonso.
He said in April: “We have a new mentality now.
“The players are more focused. Now you can see the real face of Leverkusen.”
