According to reports from Mirror Football, Manchester United have held ‘secret talks’ with the representatives of Arsenal transfer target Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Despite Borussia Dortmund’s continued insistence that their leading goalscorer won’t be sold this summer, he’s set to enter the coming transfer window as one of the most sought-after strikers in world football after netting 35 times across all competitions this season – including 22 goals in the Bundesliga.

Indeed, Arsenal are known long-term admirers of the 26-year-old, who some sources have dubbed a ‘leading transfer target‘ for the north London outfit, whilst Liverpool, Manchester United and Real Madrid are also in the mix to attain his services during the offseason.
But according to Mirror Football, the Red Devils have held ‘secret talks’ with the Gabon international’s representatives in the hope of swinging him towards an Old Trafford transfer ahead of a club-record £60million summer bid.
Despite ambiguity over who will be in the United hot seat next season – with Jose Mourinho widely tipped to replace Louis van Gaal – the club believe the incentive of making Aubameyang a ‘global superstar’ could be enough to secure a summer transfer to Old Trafford.
