The 23-year-old Spain international signed for Napoli for £25.5m from Real Betis last year. He was the stand-out player for his country during the under-21 European Championships last summer.

The French midfielder, who moved back to Old Trafford in 2016 for £89.3 million from Juve, has apparently told the Premier League side he will not sign a new contract at United.
