Philippe Coutinho looks set to leave Barcelona this summer – but will not move to Manchester United out of respect for his former club Liverpool.
United were monitoring Coutinho's availability, with his valuation now understood to be significantly lower than the £142m paid to Liverpool by Barcelona last January, but now, initial discussions have begun between Paris Saint-Germain and the Brazilian's representatives over a summer transfer.
Manchester United have had a bid rising to £50m rejected by Crystal Palace for English right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka, 21.
United have also had a £40m bid for West Ham and France under-21 defender Issa Diop turned down. The bid included an unnamed United player going the other way.
