Manchester United table £68.5m bid to sign Atletico Madrid star Marcos Llorente

Manchester United have tabled a £68.5 million offer to sign midfielder Marcos Llorente from Atletico Madrid during the summer transfer window, AS reports.

The Spain international joined Atletico from arch-rivals Real Madrid in 2019 and he had a decent debut season with five goals and five assists from 36 outings.

He was largely in-and-out of the starting line-up, but his heroic display to knock out Liverpool from the Champions League proved the turning point of his career.

In the current campaign, Llorente has flourished operating in an advanced central midfield role, registering 10 goals and nine assists from just 35 appearances.
