Reports in the Guardian claim that United are now in pole position to sign the Turkish midfielder before the end of the transfer window after Barca clear the player to leave.

Before now, the Catalan giants were considering including Turan as a makeweight for their transfer pursuit of Philippe Coutinho and Hector Bellerin but with respective deals not looking likely to happen soon. United have been given a free run at the Turkish star.
