With the search for the club's first-ever Director of Football dragging on, United are yet to sign a single first-team player ahead of the 2018/19 season.

Nevertheless, according to Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport, the Red Devils are finally making moves in the transfer market as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looks to rebuild his squad.


As per the report, United have launched a massive record-breaking £84 million bid for Napoli centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly.

However, Corriere dello Sport add that the Serie A side are refusing to let their prized asset leave despite the fact that the Red Devils are willing to make the Senegalese the most expensive defender in the world.

The 27-year-old has a whopping release clause of £133 million and Napoli are hanging on for a fee closer to that massive figure. Koulibaly's current deal expires in 2023.
