Manchester United are keen to recruit a long-term target Saul Niguez in the wake of Atletico Madrid’s Champions League exit.

Manchester United hold a long-standing interest in Saul and could finally be attempted to put together a big-money move to bring him to the Premier League.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s list of targets features the Spanish midfielder close to the top, and the Norwegian sees the 25-year-old as a potentially vital addition to his roster.

With Jesse Lingard increasingly heading towards the Old Trafford exit, space will open for Saul.

According to the Daily Express, Manchester United are readying a massive £150,000-a-week contract for the versatile midfielder to lure him away from La Liga.

Despite being an indispensable first-team member under Diego Simeone over the past few years, Saul could be on his way out this summer.

Faced with another Champions League failure, as Atletico Madrid bowed out to RB Leipzig in the quarter-finals, the Spanish star is said to be considering his options.

Concerned about Atletico’s chances to compete for a major silverware, Saul could embrace the prospect of joining high-flying Solskjaer’s side.

The Red Devils have secured a top-four finish in the Premier League and remain in contention for the Europa League title, having dumped FC Copenhagen in the quarter-finals.
