Man Utd blow with Marco Verratti set to sign new six-year deal with PSG
Midfield maestro set to commit long-term future to French giants in blow to Red Devils
MANCHESTER UNITED have reportedly been dealt a transfer blow with target Marco Verratti set to sign a new Paris Saint-Germain deal.
ParisTeam claims the midfielder will commit to a new contract in the French capital despite strong interest from the Red Devils.
It means United will have to look elsewhere if they want to boost their options in the centre of the park this summer.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is hoping to land the Old Trafford gig on a permanent basis after working wonders in the last two months.
And United chiefs are sure to back whoever becomes their new manager in the next transfer window with a stunning transfer kitty.
United have been linked with Real Madrid’s Gareth Bale, Borussia Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho and Wolves’ Ruben Neves for starters.

While they are also hoping to wrap up new contracts for David De Gea, Ander Herrera and Anthony Martial.
The latter is also set to cost United an extra £8.7million after his incredible revival under Solskjaer.
Martial is on the brink of a return to the France set-up under Didier Deschamps.
And United will be forced to hand over the cash to old side Monaco when Martial lands his 25th international cap – which could occur as early as next year.
