Manchester United have made contact to sign Real Madrid star Brahim Diaz in the summer transfer window, according to a report from Spanish outlet Fichajes.
It's been an impressive start to the window for United after they recently confirmed the signing of Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha. Despite failing to qualify for European football, United have shown that they still have the ability to attract high-profile players, and they will likely continue to do so over the coming months.
It was a disastrous recent season for the Red Devils, topped off by losing to Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final in Bilbao. As a result, they ended the campaign without a trophy, while they also finished in the bottom half of the Premier League table.

According to a report from Fichajes, Manchester United are one of the sides to make contact with Real Madrid star Diaz ahead of a potential move. The Red Devils would be looking to secure his signature and give him a 'greater role' in their side, while it's also claimed that the Spanish giants could be tempted to cash in.

In Amorim's system, Diaz, who has been described as 'one of the best dribblers' in the world, could be an ideal addition in one of the attacking midfield roles behind the striker. Cunha is likely to fill one of those positions after arriving in the summer, but it appears that United are in the market for another over the coming months.
The Manchester club are also pushing to bring Brentford attacker Bryan Mbeumo to the club, and reports have suggested that they've offered the Cameroonian international £200,000-a-week to make the move to Old Trafford. United saw an initial bid of £55m rejected, but they still appear to be in the race to secure his signature.
