It's evident that Manchester United want to add Inter Milan winger Ivan Perisic to their ranks, but the two clubs have so far been unable to thrash out a deal because of disagreements in terms of the player's valuation.
But Perisic's performance, and more specifically his assist, against Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich in today's pre-season friendly in Singapore is a fresh reminder of just why Jose Mourinho is so keen on signing him this summer.
Unlike the vast majority of Mourinho's options on the flanks, Perisic is a natural out-and-out winger whose game is to hug the touchline and whip in deadly crosses for strikers to get on the end of.

And against Bayern, that is exactly what happened for the second goal in a 2-0 win for Luciano Spalletti's side.
The Croatian international was fed down the left by Yuri Nagatomo and fizzed in a stunning, inch-perfect delivery for teammate Eder to head home his second goal of the game.

It's an incredible delivery from Perisic, isn't it? Just imagine how much joy Romelu Lukaku will have in the air if United do eventually sign him.
