Manchester United to battle it out with Liverpool for Lucas Vazquez

Jose Mourinho is a big admirer of the winger

Manchester United are expected to bolster their squad this summer in order to challenge for the title next season. Jose Mourinho is expected to sell few players to accommodate new signings.

Though the Premier League club’s priority is to overhaul their defense but the club is looking to add attacking options. The Special One has been left thoroughly underwhelmed by his attacking options of late, relying heavily on Romelu Lukaku.

Mourinho is very keen to bring Real Madrid ace Lucas Vazquez this summer. He is said to be a fan of his work rate, which he believes would slip seamlessly into the fold at Old Trafford. The player is known for his impressive defensive abilities from his attacking wing role.

The 26 year old has been at the La Liga club since 2007 and has scored 16 goals from 134 appearances in all competitions. Though he hasn’t been a regular starter for the club but has made impact whenever he came off the bench.

The Spain International has been impressive for the club this season, scoring 8 goals and providing 7 assists despite of limited chances. But the Red Devils could face stiff competition from their rival.

Manchester United are prepared to battle it out with arch-rivals Liverpool for the signing of  Lucas Vazquez, claims OKDiario.

Though the player claimed back in March that he is happy with the La Liga giants. The Spaniard revealed: “My dream has always been to play for Real Madrid.

“When they proposed [the return] to me it was like seeing a lifetime’s work rewarded.

“I am very happy at Real Madrid, it is the team that formed me as a player and I hope I can stay for many years.”
