According to Le10Sport, Jose Mourinho and Zlatan Ibrahimovic have held talks over a possible transfer to Manchester United; whilst Calcio Mercato claim Liverpool are targeting Belgian prodigy Samuel Bastien.

The 6 foot 5 striker, whose illustrious career has seen him claim twelve league titles, the 2012 Golden Foot and the 2013 Puskas award, is set to leave PSG on a free transfer this summer.

Le10Sport claim allegedly incoming gaffer Jose Mourinho, who managed the Zlatan briefly at Inter Milan, has already held talks with the 34-year-old regarding a possible transfer to Manchester United – although he is just one name of many on the Special One’s transfer shortlist.

The Red Devils are certainly in need of added firepower, scoring the fewest goals of any side in the Premier League’s top seven this season.

Meanwhile, Calcio Mercato claim Liverpool are one of a number of clubs targeting Anderlecht prodigy Samuel Bastien, who is currently impressing on loan at Avellino in Serie B and has featured twice for Belgium at U19 level.

Avellino have an option to acquire the £5million-rated midfielder permanently during the summer transfer window but may find themselves overlooked amid interest from Liverpool, Roma, Fiorentina and Sevilla.

The Reds are set to have been tracking Bastien, who has netted twice in 18 league outings this term, for some time.
