The Red Devils have made contact with Palmeiras star Richard Rios, who has been on the radar of several English clubs after a sensational campaign with Colombia in Copa America 2024. Manchester United have been credited with an interest in the 24-year-old midfielder.

The Colombian midfielder has been linked with several Premier League clubs this summer and Palmeiras reportedly want £17 million for the player. Rios is also a cheaper alternative to some of the players United have targeted in this transfer window in that position.
