Manchester United fans have been left less than happy after reports emerged surrounding their latest transfer target.
Ruben Amorim and his recruitment staff will surely already be preparing their transfer plans for this summer after what has been a disappointing season so far for United.
That could all change, though, if United win the Europa League, thus securing Champions League football and affecting the calibre of talent they can attract to the club.
But fans have had mixed reactions to hearing about Amorim's latest reported target.

According to Chronicle Live, United are interested in signing Newcastle midfielder Sean Longstaff this summer, having previously been linked with him under Erik ten Hag and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
The 27-year-old could reportedly be made surplus to requirements this summer, with Magpies manager Eddie Howe planning to give youngster Lewis Miley more first team opportunities ahead of him.
Prior to this season, Longstaff had been a consistent performer in the centre of midfield under Howe, and netted eight goals in all competitions last term.
The South Shields-born midfielder also has Champions League experience to his name, having played five times in the competition for the Magpies.
It is claimed that both United and Everton have scouted Longstaff, and a deal is likely to be done as he enters the final year of his contract.
But some United fans are not convinced that he is the right addition to the squad, despite the attributes he would bring.
Taking to Twitter, one fan wrote: "Waste of money... needs to be channelled to the right position."
A second said: "Thought it was 2019 for a second."
A third agreed: "Back to being linked with Longstaff, circle completed."
And a fourth asked: "Sign him to do what exactly?"
