The Saudi outfit has already signed some of his Premier League companions in the recent years. Players such as Ruben Neves, Aleksandar Mitrovic and Kalidou Koulibaly were brought in. This signals their ambition and wealth to sign big stars.

Despite the growing noise, the Red Devils have no plans to part ways with their skipper. Head coach Ruben Amorim has picked out the midfielder as one of the best in the world and a key piece of his rebuild.
The Portuguese star joined for a fee that could rise to £68 million from Sporting in 2020.
