However, it seems Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has stolen a march on their rivals as Sportske Novosti, via Spanish outlet AS, says Man Utd have now submitted an opening £36m bid to sign Olmo this summer.
Solskjaer has wasted no time overhauling his squad following a disappointing campaign that saw United finish sixth in the league as he’s already splashed out on right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka and winger Daniel James.
But the Norwegian coach is reportedly in the market for a midfielder as Marouane Fellaini and Ander Herrera have left in recent months while Paul Pogba is being linked with a move away from Old Trafford this summer.
