Here are the top three:

1. Henrikh Mkhitaryan (Borussia Dortmund) - 4.4

Having dipped in the charts, Mkhitaryan is on the rise again and is the hottest Manchester United rumour at the moment.

The Armenia winger has a year left on his contract with Borussia Dortmund and the club are reportedly not keen to sell.

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. Breel Embolo (Basel) - 4.1

It has been reported that super-agent Jorge Mendes is negotiating a deal with United over a possible transfer for Embolo.

However, could a move to Liverpool also be a possibility? The 19-year-old recently revealed that 'You'll Never Walk Alone' is his favourite song.

3. Adam Ounas (Bordeaux) - 3.8

The talented Bordeaux youngster dropped a hint that he's about to join Manchester United by following the club and stars such as Wayne Rooney, Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford on Instagram.

However, reports suggest Ounas is still undecided about where his future lies and he has scheduled talks with Bordeaux over the matter in the coming days.
