Richarlison eyed by Man Utd for summer transfer after impressing Solskjaer in Everton’s weekend win
MANCHESTER UNITED are reportedly lining up a mega bid for Everton star Richarlison.
The Telegraph claims Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants the Brazil international, 21, at Old Trafford after he helped beat the Red Devils 4-0 at Goodison Park last weekend.
Richarlison has enjoyed a fine debut season under Marco Silva after leaving Watford in a deal potentially worth £50million last summer.
The versatile striker has scored 14 goals and assisted a further two in 36 appearances.
And Richarlison could now be set for yet another move after also becoming a regular starter for his country.
Chelsea have been strongly linked with an £80m bid – provided their transfer ban is overturned.
RICH PICKINGS
While Barcelona have identified Richarlison as a potential successor to Luis Suarez.
AC Milan are prepared to offer around £60m to bring Richarlison to Italy.
And the hitman has even been linked with a shock move to Mersey rivals Liverpool.
However, United could now be in pole position for Richarlison’s signature after Solskjaer suffered his seventh defeat in nine games against Everton on Sunday.

The Norwegian is expected to oversee a clear-out, and he is said to have asked for signings in five key positions.
As well as Richarlison in attack, Solskjaer apparently wants two midfielders, a centre-back and a right-back.
Crystal Palace’s Aaron-Wan Bissaka, West Ham’s Declan Rice and Borussia Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho are all on his radar this summer.
