There have been rumors abounding lately that a certain tall Swedish PSG striker is going to make a move to Manchester United.
(Jay Z voice) Let's end the speculation I'm talkin' to all of y'all.

Here is a section of a Sports Illustrated interview from last year. (the whole interview is worth a read):
After having its initial £20M offer for Everton defender John Stones rejected, reigning league champions Chelsea have reportedly decided to up their offer for the England international to £26M.
David, Goliath, etc.
English side Chelsea, in America on a preseason tour, got off to a hot start Wednesday against American powerhouse New York Red Bulls.

Thomas Muller has been one of the key players behind Bayern Munich’s success in recent years, as well as the German National Team which won the last World Cup in 2014.
There is a very real possibility that Manchester United could sign a striker, according to Louis van Gaal.
Ironically, after a season in which the Red Devils’ strike corp was arguably its most talented set of players, they find themselves with a dearth of midfield options, a bolstered defense, and only one proven senior striker: Wayne Rooney (Apologies to Javier Hernandez).
Many think that the team needs to buy another striker, and van Gaal has not ruled out more spending, although he didn’t say specifically what positions further spending would increase.
