Marash Kumbulla: Man Utd target trains with Hellas Verona
Manchester United are reportedly keeping a close eye on Hellas Verona defender Marash Kumbulla after Harry Maguire was ruled out with a hip injury. However, Napoli are said to have already submitted a £13million bid for the youngster so the Red Devils will have to act quickly.

United suffered a blow yesterday when the news broke that Maguire is set for an extended spell on the sidelines.
The full details of the centre back’s issues are still yet to be revealed but boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said the injury was "not a long, long-term one".
He added: “We don't know (about Maguire). He's not going to be long term, but I don't think he'll be ready for the weekend, but let's see."
Solskjaer must act quickly to bring in reinforcements or risk further embarrassments like the 3-1 loss to Manchester City in midweek.

“I think Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is not the only one responsible but we can see that he has a hard time to change things,” he said.
“So yeah, if you bring Pochettino and you are ready to change the structure of the team, of the club, maybe you can achieve something.
“But you have to do so because otherwise it’s going to last another decade with average players.
“It’s not possible for Manchester United to go deeper than they are right now because I’ve never seen Manchester United like that, never seen Manchester United like that.”
