Manchester United have launched a request to sign Joao Felix from Atletico Madrid - according to reports. Having finished as runners-up to Manchester City in the Premier League last season, key figures in the Old Trafford boardroom issued a triple statement of intent during the summer transfer window; signing Jadon Sancho, Raphael Varane and returning five-time Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo. Further change is on the horizon, though, as interim manager Ralf Rangnick starts to put his stamp on the club. Manchester Evening News understands Declan Rice is still target number one with regards to central midfield, but United continue to be linked with other moves in attacking quarters, too. According to Spanish publication AS, they are one of several potential suitors for Portuguese starlet Felix.
