Manchester United continue to be linked with Real Madrid players despite missing out on Gareth Bale and Toni Kroos this summer. The Red Devils have just eight days to conclude their transfer business and Jose Mourinho, whose anger is threatening to boil over, wants two new recruits. It is understood Manchester United want a centre-back and winger but Spanish newspaper Marca claim they have launched a surprise bid for Kovacic. The Croatia international is keen to leave the club after struggling for game time ever since his arrival from Inter Milan in 2014. Kovacic has spent much of his time at Real below the likes of Kroos, Luka Modric and Casemiro in the pecking order.
