Manchester United are looking to Real Betis in case Adrien Rabiot’s mum pies Dicky Arnold. Also: Liverpool want an Inter midfielder and a Villarreal winger…
MAN UTD STILL SNIFFING AROUND SMS
Manchester United are still chasing yet another target who might have been better bought in 2017. But the signing of Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, presumably, would generate a little more excitement than Marko Arnautovic and Adrien Rabiot.

The 19-year-old winger offered six goals and four assists last season and his release clause stands at £676.5million.
REDS PONDER INTER OFFER
Liverpool are also said to be dipping their toe back into the market for midfield reinforcements in the wake of Thiago’s twang at Fulham.
