00:00Manchester United's push to beat Real Madrid to secure Leni Lloro's signature received
00:05a significant boost on Wednesday, with the defender poised to have a medical and finalised
00:10personal terms for a proposed 62 metres, 52 millimetres transfer from Lila.
00:18Lloro was expected to fly to Manchester in a firm sign that the 18-year-old may choose
00:22United over Madrid, despite previously having been minded to join the European champions.
00:29Madrid's valuation of Lloro is lower than United's, and they were relaxed about their
00:33pursuit, considering as an option whether to wait until next summer to sign the player
00:38when his Lille contract is due to expire.
00:42This means Lille want Lloro to join United.
00:45Madrid may try to persuade the player otherwise, and if he chooses United it will be regarded
00:49at Old Trafford as a victory for the Sir Jim Ratcliffe-led football operation, particularly
00:54for Dan Ashworth, who began as the sporting director on 1st July.
01:00Aaron Wan-Bissaka is attracting interest from West Ham, with United open to selling the
01:04right-back, who has a year on his contract.
01:08The asking price for the 26-year-old would be about 15 medis.
01:12Joshua Xerxe has described what type of striker he is in a first interview since his 42.5
01:17Ludters transfer to United.
01:21A creative player, good with the ball, the 23-year-old said.
01:25I'm a bit unpredictable at times.
01:27I think those are the perfect words for me.
01:30It's best to entertain as part of the whole team, not necessarily as an individual, but
01:34I think you have to make the fans who come to the stadium happy as well about the game.
01:40Xerxe is enthused regarding working under his countryman Erik Ten Hag, whose assistant
01:44coaches Ruud van Nistelrooy and René Haak are also Dutch.
01:50It's an extra privilege and benefit for me.
01:53Having Dutch people around obviously makes it a bit easier, though I'm an easy-going
01:57person.
01:58I'm not too difficult with adapting.
02:01When I was younger, watching the Dutch national team and Manchester United, he, van Nistelrooy,
02:07was one of the guys who you were pretending to be when you were playing out with your
02:10friends.
02:11So having him out here is a bit special.
