Manchester United receive transfer boost as free-scoring striker heads to Old Trafford

Reports in England claim that Raul Jimenez is on his way to Manchester United, with Wolves on the verge of signing Portuguese centre forward Paulinho as a replacement.

The Old Trafford club have been heavily linked with Wolves star Raul Jimenez in recent days.

United have been told to cough up £60million if they want to prise the 29-year-old away from Molineux.

The 29-year-old is heading for Old Trafford as Wolves have all but agreed a deal to sign his successor, according to RTP.

And the Mexican is just one of the big names who could be lining up for the Red Devils next season after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s planned summer overhaul.

The Portuguese outlet reports that Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are set to sign Paulinho from Sporting de Braga for €30million (£27m), with Jimenez set to join Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side.

The Wolves striker has been a huge success since joining from Benfica, scoring an impressive 26 goals from 53 games in all competitions for the club this season.

And if the Red Devils do bring the goalscoring machine to Old Trafford, he could spearhead one of the most intimidating attacking trios in the Premier League alongside Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho – who United have also been linked with.
