Hi Ed, is there anything new to report on Ivan Perisic to MU? His price was due to go up July 1st I believe. Thanks as always.

{Ed002's Note - Not really, even with Darmian as part of the deal the amount of cash involved falls short.}

Thanks Ed, do you believe they will continue to negotiate for the player now?

{Ed002's Note - It is not so much a matter of negotiation, it is a case of simply making an offer that is acceptable. Once that has happened they can negotiate the terms (when monies will be paid etc.). There is no doubt that Mourinho would like to see this go through as an alternative to Antoine Griezmann. If they can get this out of the way and Lukaku signed off then they can sit back and re-evaluate their list of targets for the positions that still need filling.}

Thanks for info as always Ed - hope you're able to sip some Pimms while watching Wimbledon, daintily nibbling on strawberries and cream.

Sorry if this should go on the MU page but notice that you've suggested MU reevaluating their targets for positions to be filled: guessing this is primarily a defensive midfielder? If so, any credence to the rumours that Matic is off the table now given Lukaku bid - and are they still looking at Fabinho/ Dier (or other DMs) for the role?

Any input very much appreciated though not fair of us to keep demanding your precious time so no worries if you're busy.

{Ed002's Note - It is nothing to do with Matic.}
