We round-up the latest Manchester United transfer rumours on Tuesday, May 22.

Eric Bailly is expected to leave Old Trafford this summer as Man Utd plan a swoop for Tottenham defender Toby Alderweireld, according to the Daily Star.

Jose Mourinho is looking to revamp his back line after a trophyless season, with Bailly sidelined in recent months with an ankle injury.

Manchester United have approached Benfica regarding a move for Anderson Talisca, Portuguese outlet O'Jogo reports.

They say that the Old Trafford side have offered £35m for the attacking midfielder, with Liverpool and Wolves also said to be interested.

Manchester United are interested in signing Willian from Chelsea this summer, according to Sky sources.

Sky Sports News understands the Brazil midfielder wants to leave Stamford Bridge if Antonio Conte remains as head coach. He has two years remaining on his contract and, at this stage, there has been no formal offer from Jose Mourinho's side.

AC Milan sporting director Massimiliano Mirabelli says Marouane Fellaini will leave Manchester United this summer, but admits the Italian club have not yet agreed a deal for the Belgian.

"Fellaini could be an important player, he is," Mirabelli said. "We know he is not going to renew with United, but it's difficult to say that we have closed the deal. He has important attributes. We will do something in that role but we are keeping everything in reserve. First we have to secure our signings, then announce them."

Paul Pogba is non-committal about his long-term future with Manchester United but says he does not have to be "best friends" with Jose Mourinho.

"We are never sure of anything but contractually it's sure, yes," he said when asked about his position at United. "I can never look far into the future. It also depends how it goes with the club, how things work out.

"I grew up with a father and a mother who were Marseille supporters. Paris (PSG) was never really part of my daily life. But later on, yes why not play at the Parc des Princes? It's a great pitch and a nice stadium."
