Bayern Munich are said to be “annoyed” by Manchester United’s approach for Thiago Alcantara.

The Spanish international midfielder wants to leave the Champions League winners this summer in the search of a new challenge.

Former club president Uli Hoeness believes that he has an offer from United or Liverpool.

“Both Liverpool and Manchester United did not come to us with an offer for Thiago,” he said. “They are bluffing and waiting until the last week of the window to make a cheap offer. Bayern must decide whether they want to play this game or stand their ground and keep him.”

Talksport report that United’s reticence to approach the Bundesliga champions with an official offer is rubbing them up the wrong way and could see any move collapse.

Meanwhile, United are said to be in talks for Real Madrid’s Sergio Reguilon.

The Spanish left-back is available for around £23m after a standout season on loan at Sevilla last term.

Reports in Spain suggest United are now stepping up their pursuit to add competition for Luke Shaw and Brandon Williams at the back.

Jadon Sancho remains United’s No 1 target but groundwork is apparently being done in case a deal cannot be struck for the Borussia Dortmund star.

One of those back up options could be Ivan Perisic, according to The Telegraph. And Gazzetta dello Sport report the Croatian is being given time by Inter Milan boss Antonio Conte to sort out his future at the club with the Italian keen to keep him.

Gareth Bale is reportedly another option if they fail in their pursuit of Sancho this summer, according to the Daily Express. 

Madrid are reportedly willing to significantly contribute towards Bale’s exorbitant wages in order to get him out of the club.

United are also interested in reinforcing their central defence, and the Daily Express claim Monaco’s Benoit Badiashile is a target for the club. 

The 19-year-old has attracted interest from across Europe, but United will not exceed a £23m fee for the French youth international.
