Thomas Lemar wants to join United over Arsenal.

That’s according to the Daily Record’s Duncan Castles.

He tweeted: “Thomas Lemar would rather join Manchester United than Arsenal. #MUFC #AFC #ASMFC #FRA.”

The Premier League giants have both been linked with the Monaco ace this summer.

But Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger ruled his side out of the running for his signature earlier today.

He said: “It's dead because Monaco have closed the door definitely."

Arda Turan is free to leave Barcelona.

The Catalans’ coach Ernesto Valverde does not rate the Turkey international and is trying to force him out of the club.

Earlier this month AS reported that Mourinho had held talks with the former Atletico Madrid man.

And Barcelona appear to be warning Turan that he will not be registered in their squad once the transfer window closes.

Sport say they are so desperate to farm him out that they are not afraid to help him along with the threat that he will definitely not play if he stays.

Whether Mourinho would still be interested remains to be seen but the playmaker would almost certainly be available on the cheap.

Red Devils legend Ryan Giggs thinks the title is heading to Old Trafford this season.

He’s been impressed with Mourinho’s signings and is sure his old side will be a real force this season.

Gigs said: “I think it was documented when the fixtures came out, while there’s no easy games in the Premier League, it was a pretty good start for Manchester United and the team have delivered with two 4-0 wins.

“When Jose Mourinho’s sides get going they are very difficult to stop. He’s done in the past and, while it’s important dealing with the expectations with the media making a lot of it, managing that is something he is great at.

“They look powerful with Nemanja Matic and Romelu Lukaku, but what is pleasing to see is the creative players doing well as well.

“Henrikh Mkhitaryan already has four assists and that will do him the world of good, so hopefully he can get back to his Dortmund form.

“There’s a lot of players contributing to goals which is crucial to winning the league. Juan Mata scores year-in-year-out, Anthony Martial chipping in and when Marcus Rashford and Mkhitaryan join the party you’ve got options. You can’t just rely on Lukaku.”
