Report: Manchester United interested in West Ham United star Dimitri Payet

Man United 'interested in Dimitri Payet'

Manchester United are looking into making a bid for West Ham United midfielder Dimitri Payet, according to reports.

The 29-year-old won the Hammers' player of the season award in 2015-16, then went on to star in the France team that reached the final of Euro 2016.

According to The Mirror, Jose Mourinho is a big fan of Payet and is desperate to add pace and width to his team, so he has identified the former Marseille man as a transfer target.

Payet signed a new five-year contract - said to be worth £125,000 a week - in February, and the Hammers will reportedly want at least £35m for their prized asset.
