In the most high-brow Rangers transfer link of the summer, Ibrox skipper James Tavernier is reportedly a target for English Premier League giants Man United.
The Ibrox talisman has posted magnificent numbers during his Gers career to date and enjoyed his best campaign in Royal Blue as he guided Steven Gerrard’s side to 55.
Contributing to a remarkable 35 goals in the process, Tavernier’s 19 strikes had him Rangers’ top goal scorer for the season, something made even more impressive by the fact he’s a right-back.
90min.com claim that there are four Premier League clubs in total eyeing Tav – including Arsenal, Brighton and Norwich City – with the United link perhaps the most prominent.
These come after the Old Trafford side were turned off a move for Kieran Trippier due to the excessive £20m demands of Atletico Madrid [BBC Sport].
It’s not completely outwith the realm of possibility and with Tavernier 29, the right offer might leave the Gers with their hands tied.
And should the Old Trafford club genuinely launch a move for Rangers’ captain fantastic – besides from break Rangers fans’ hearts – Tav would also be linking up with a £73m winger.
United are preparing to announce the sizeable transfer of Borussia Dortmund right winger Jadon Sancho on a five-year deal according to a spate of reports [Guardian].
It may well be a high transfer fee, but no-one can deny Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hasn’t been tailing the England international for the last few years.
Now, Ole has his man as United invest heavily into their right-hand side with the signing of English wonderkid Sancho.
Rangers fans will be just be hoping they don’t choose to invest a little more into a move for Ibrox skipper Tavernier ahead of what promises to be a monumental season at Ibrox.
Manchester United fans however, are very much excited about talk of a move for the Rangers captain and rate the Gers skipper very highly.
