Everton’s Richarlison is the latest player to be considered by Manchester United as part of a huge summer overhaul of their failing squad.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is understood to want as many as five signings including a versatile forward.

England winger Jadon Sancho is already among the targets but there is also believed to have been a discussion over Richarlison who can play in a number of positions across the front-line although he appears most effective out wide.

Everton signed Richarlison on a five-year contract from Watford in a potential £50million deal only last summer. He had moved to Watford from Brazilian club Fluminense for £11.5million in 2017 and clearly if he was to go Everton, who do not want to sell and have not had any approach, would want in excess of the fee they paid for him which started with an initial £35million.

The forward has scored 14 goals for Everton this season, and is the club’s top-scorer, including the spectacular first goal in their 4-0 beating of United last Sunday although he was later taken off with a suspected rib injury and is a major doubt for their fixture away to Crystal Palace this weekend.
