Manchester United have been given encouragement in their chase for Ivan Perisic with Inter Milan conceding the winger is for sale for the right price.

Jose Mourinho has been busy this summer as he looks to assemble a squad capable of challenging both in the Premier League and in Europe and has already added Victor Lindelof and Romelu Lukaku for a combined fee of over £100m.

He remains in the market for more reinforcements, however, and has identifed Perisic as the man he wants with Inter hitherto proving tough negotiators.

The Serie A side want £48m for the Croatian but have also asked for Anthony Martial in return, a player Mourinho is unwilling to let leave Old Trafford this summer.

Mourinho admitted during the Red Devils’ preseason tour of the United States that he has “no idea” if Perisic would join, but his opposite number in Milan appears to have given United hope a deal could yet be done.

"Sure, there were rumours, but the status quo is that we want to keep Perisic, he's an important player in the team and we're counting on him to start the new season," Luciano Spalletti said. "Having said that, if someone comes in with a very difficult offer to reject, then we'll consider that, but of course, we'll need to find a valid alternative for Perisic as well."

Ed Woodward joined up with United's pre-season tour having stayed back to work on deals that the United manager is confident the executive vice-chairman has a grip on.

"I don't know," he said when asked if any progress had been made on transfers. "Honestly, I don't know. Ed is in control. He did Lindelof and Lukaku, he knows that I would like two more players, but he also knows that I have balance.

"I understand the situation, I understand the market and if my club is not able to do two players and do just one, I will accept that as a consequence of the market now. Our relation is good and I just wait for good news - and he knows that for me good news is to have the players, or in this case maybe just the player as soon as possible because to work together with the team is really, really important.
