United have apparently registered interest in Olivier Giroud as they hunt a new No 9 following Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure.
But The Times say they only want a loan deal for the France international.
And with Giroud a key player for AC Milan, it’s hard to see the Serie A giants cutting him loose - especially given the fact he’s got just six months left on his contract and expecting an offer of a renewal.
The veteran flourished for France at the World Cup, scoring four goals from six matches.
He’s previously played in England with Arsenal and Chelsea, winning trophies with both teams.
Harry Maguire has struggled for United - but Jamie O’Hara thinks he’d be a good signing for Tottenham to make.
Speaking on talkSPORT, he said: “Harry Maguire is better than what we’ve got.
“He’s not playing at Manchester United. If a left-back is playing at centre-half and you’re not featuring, then Maguire has got to be looking at saying ‘I want out.’
“[Lisandro] Martinez is going to come back from the World Cup with Argentina, so Harry Maguire is going to go even further down the pecking order.
“Maguire has got to look to get out of there. I would have him at Tottenham, absolutely, definitely.”

Ten Hag opens up on Amad
Amad has been impressing for Sunderland in the Championship since joining United on loan.
But Ten Hag has suggested he won’t be recalling the Ivory Coast international, saying: "We consider everything, but I have a little bit of reservation about that because I don't want to stop the process.
“He's made really good progress there so I'm happy with that.
"When we decide for him to come back, he has to be a player who can compete for the starting line-up or come on for a lot of games and make an impact."
He continued: "I know we have good players and I know a lot of clubs will have an interest in players who aren’t playing for us so often. But we need the squad. We need depth in the squad and especially, I would say, the front line."
