For some times now, Manchester United have been looking to sign West Ham star player Dimitri Payet.
Last summer, the player was heavily linked with a move to the Old Trafford club but he however signed a new deal with the Hammers and stayed with them.
However, things seems to be have changed as the Mirror reported that the Frenchman desire leaving the club and even West Ham are set to sell him to the highest bidder.
Going back to November 2016, the same Mirror claimed that Man United are ready to sign the £35million rated superstar with a mega bid. Additionally, Le10Sport reported last month that Mourinho personally called Payet and made him aware that he wants him at Old Trafford.
If so be the case, then Man United have an edge to sign the 29-year old striker, considering that West Ham are also interested in signing United player Memphis Depay.
However, Mourinho needs to hasten the process and quickly come to an agreement because other teams seem to be interested in Payet too. Just yesterday, the Sun reported that Chelsea boss Antonio Conte wants Dimitri at Stamford Bridge.
Dimitri Payet made it into the PFA Team of the Year for last season and he was also included in the UEFA Euro Team of the Tournament for his superb performances at the European Championships last year.
