Manchester United and their ambition to revamp their midfield.

Both Premier League clubs are expected to spend around €60 million (equivalent to £52.6 million) to complete the deal. The pursuit of Suarez demonstrates the ambition of both teams to strengthen their attacking lines during this crucial period.
