Manchester United have identified João Palhinha as a serious loan or low-cost transfer target this summer. With Premier League experience and tactical fit under Ruben Amorim, the Fulham and Bayern midfielder is now firmly back on United’s radar.
Palhinha has been admired by United since his Fulham days, and early indications suggest a deal around £30 million could be possible — IF Bayern make him available after internal talks.
