Insider Ben Jacobs has revealed it\u2019s \u201cabsolutely true\u201d that Manchester United want to sign a Newcastle star who director of football Jason Wilcox knows \u201cincredibly well.\u201d<\/p>\n
United<\/a> recruited well from within the Premier League in the summer. Of their five signings made, two had starred in the Premier League last term.<\/p>\n Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo had both reached double figures for goals last term, for Wolves and Brentford respectively, and have helped to transform United\u2019s attack, with Mbeumo winning Premier League player of the month for October.<\/p>\n Knowing how Premier League experience has clearly helped them, the Red Devils are once again looking within England for a signing, with Newcastle\u2019s full-back Tino Livramento<\/a> on the radar.<\/p>\n Insider Ben Jacobs told The United Stand<\/a>: \u201cThe beauty of Tino Livramento is he can play on both sides.\u00a0So, I can understand why Manchester United would like the player. And let\u2019s not forget that Jason Wilcox knows him incredibly well. So, he\u2019s a factor in all of this as well.<\/p>\n \u201cMan City seem to be the club, speaking to sources, that are most adamant on trying to get Tino Livramento in 2026. But, of course, if they make progress and the feeling becomes that Newcastle might sell, then other clubs will come forward.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is absolutely true that Manchester United have people that appreciate Tino Livramento but it\u2019s simply not gone further than that and Ross Wilson, who\u2019s the new sporting director at Newcastle, has just come in and one of his first tasks along with a few others at the club is to get Livramento to sign a new deal.\u201d<\/p>\n DON\u2019T MISS:\u00a0\ud83d\udd34\u00a0Adam Wharton v Carlos Baleba: The stats behind Man Utd midfield targets\u2019 direct battle in Crystal Palace v Brighton<\/a><\/p>\n Livramento rated as City\u2019s best target<\/p>\n Links between Livramento and United\u2019s rivals City have been evident for some time.<\/p>\n TEAMtalk\u2019s James Holland recently rated the Newcastle man as the best target at right-back for the Citizens<\/a>.<\/p>\n He suggested that Livramento would be a better option for them than Ivan Fresneda.<\/p>\n However, reports that Newcastle are going to tie their right-back down to a new deal are nothing new, so it could be that none of the interested sides are able to land the Englishman.<\/p>\n Man Utd round-up: Red Devils torn over striker<\/p>\n Sources believed United could be offered the chance to sign Serhou Guirassy before the end of the season.<\/p>\n However, those within the club are torn over whether they should take that chance when it comes, as it\u2019s felt it could hinder the progress of summer signing Benjamin Sesko<\/a>.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Eric Cantona has revealed he feels Sir Jim Ratcliffe has \u201cdestroyed\u201d the platform set at United<\/a> by legend Sir Alex Ferguson.<\/p>\n
