Upping the price

It has been no secret that United, have also looked at another of Raiola's clients in Mkhitaryan.

Raiola told Bild that "such an offer" as United's can come "once in a lifetime" for "a player".

He continued saying that nobody can "guarantee" that the door will "still be open" for Mkhitaryan "next season" and wants to join his "dream club" by "any means."

Manchester United will take on Leicester City in the FA Community Shield, at Wembley Stadium, on Sunday, August 7.
