Man United 'eye Pepe, Rabiot in double swoop'

Manchester United could reportedly move for Lille attacker Nicolas Pepe and Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Adrien Rabiot this summer.

Manchester United are reportedly considering moves for Lille attacker Nicolas Pepe and Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Adrien Rabiot in this summer's transfer window.

Pepe has been in excellent form for Lille during the 2018-19 campaign - scoring 21 times in 39 appearances in all competitions, in addition to contributing 12 assists from a wide position.

Arsenal and Bayern Munich have been strongly linked with the 23-year-old, and it has also been reported that Paris Saint-Germain are in talks over a deal for the Ivory Coast international.

However, according to The Mirror, United are considering a £45m swoop for Pepe, with Lille president Gerard Lopez recently confirming that the attacker would be leaving Les Dogues this summer.

The same report claims that United could also move for Rabiot, who will be leaving PSG on a free transfer at the end of the season.

That said, Juventus are said to be leading the race for the 24-year-old, who has not turned out for the French champions since December, but has made more than 220 appearances for Les Parisiens in all competitions.
