Morning Ed002,

Hope you’ve had a lovely weekend!

Rumours seem to be gathering on social media that United interested in Napoli’s Fabian Ruiz (as FDJ alternative? In addition to? ) one “ITK” even saying United will be in contact with him again this week!

Any truth to these rumours please, or just scurrilous click bait?

Thanks for any updates you can provide.

{Ed002's Note - Fabian Ruiz (CM/DM/AM) was seen by Real Madrid as a replacement for Kroos and/or Modric but he is not their first choice. There have been discussions with his agent involving Manchester City, Arsenal, Newcastle and Bayern Munich - although the player is not particularly keen on a move to England or Germany, but may have few other options. Napoli have also met and spoken with Barcelona who see him as a possible replacement for Pjanic but they have to integrate their youngsters so they can be discounted. His agent thinks that PSG and Manchester United could also look to him, although again both have preferred options. Do not lose sight of Inter. Won't sign a new contract.}
