The two Manchester clubs may have received some significant encouragement in their respective lawsuits against Atletico Madrid's Saul Ñiguez midfielder this week, while Spanish reports say he's considering his future in the Spanish capital.
Atletico is facing a transition summer, Lucas Hernandez already being installed at Bayern Munich, while a catalog of other stars – including Saul – has been closely linked to removals.
It is thought that the club desperately wants to keep the player 24 years old and could even offer him a new contract to reattach him, but AS says he's "open" to a fresh start, opening the door at once to Manchester United and the Premier League City Champions.
Although his release clause of £ 130 million could be a stumbling block, he decides to leave, it does not seem likely that Atletico will hold for that figure.
Mundo Deportivo (via Sport Witness) is developing United's interest in saying that Atletico "already knows" that an offer has arrived from the team of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and that they are waiting for a response from the community before deciding what to do. .
United lost 1-0 against Barcelona at Old Trafford on Wednesday, and Solskjaer is expected to use the return leg in Spain for a first-hand look at Saul. Atletico faces Celta Vigo and Eibar, either side of United's visit to Catalonia.
In the case of City, Pep Guardiola, former boss of Barça, would be a great admirer of Saul and would be considered the longtime heir to Fernandinho, 33 years old.
City reportedly failed in its attempt to land Jorginho this summer, but the Italian moved to Chelsea. It is therefore not surprising to see them linked to another world-clbad central midfielder.
When he finds himself in Manchester next season, Saul seems to be a promising option for both sides.
