Manchester United are looking to become the next club to take advantage of the chaos unfolding at Newcastle United, launching an offer to sign Francesco Pio Esposito.
The Red Devils have already kept themselves busy in the summer transfer window, welcoming Youri Tielemans, Andrey Santos and Karl Darlow. Now, they're on the hunt for further reinforcements.
Names like Lewis Hall have threatened to steal the headlines on that front, as United go in search of their long-term replacement for Luke Shaw. That, however, is not the only blow that United are looking to deal the Magpies.
They've also got Esposito in their sights. The Inter Milan man is full of potential at 21 years old and would add yet more backup to Michael Carrick's frontline.

INEOS weren't afraid to invest in Man United's frontline last summer and although there are other priorities needed first, Esposito is one to watch.

The young forward also has interest from Newcastle, who are willing to make a 'significant' investment to secure his signature. However, the Magpies have been dealing with bombshell after bombshell in the form of departures this summer - and now have to deal with the chaos of Eddie Howe's sudden exit.
Whilst that should leave Man United in good stead to jump ahead of their rivals in the race, Inter are in no mood to entertain offers for their young forward, especially from those at Old Trafford.
United have been told in no uncertain teams the youngster is not for sale this summer, although it remains to be seen whether that is simply a firm negotiating tactic from the Italian giants.
