Manchester United transfer rumours: Henrikh Mkhitaryan clear at top of the chart

Which are the most credible Manchester United transfer rumours right now?

Sky Sports has teamed up with Football Whispers to bring you the most up to date transfer talk as Jose Mourinho looks to improve his squad ahead of the upcoming Premier League season.

Football Whispers have developed a unique algorithm to take all of the transfer rumours from across the globe and calculate the likelihood of them happening.

They track transfer stories and give them a score out of 5.0, with the hottest Whispers closest to 5.0.

Here are the top three:

1. Henrikh Mkhitaryan (Borussia Dortmund) - 4.3

Mkhitaryan is the clear front-runner at the top of the charts and is the hottest Manchester United rumour right now.

The Armenia winger has a year left on his contract with Borussia Dortmund and the story has risen in strength after reports of the Red Devils putting in an improved offer.

However, Mkhitaryan's agent, Mino Raiola, said: "I am a positive guy. If I wasn't confident of reaching some kind of conclusion, I wouldn't try."

2. Zlatan Ibrahimovic  (Free agent) - 3.4

The Sweden international left Paris Saint-Germain when his contract expired at the end of last season and has consistently been linked with a summer move to United.

Ibrahimovic, who is now available on a free transfer, is set to undergo a medical at Old Trafford after the end of Euro 2016, Sky sources understand.

And according to Football Whispers, the chances of that transfer taking place has slightly dipped from 3.8 to 3.4.

3. Gabriel Jesus (Palmeiras) - 2.9

The highly-regarded Brazilian, who plies his trade in Brazil's top flight, has shot up the charts into third place with increasing reports linking him with a move to Old Trafford.

However, Palmeiras manager Cuca said on Tuesday that Barcelona have been tracking their man for many months. But according to Football Whispers, there is still a chance he may sign for Manchester United next season.
