The arrival of Messi may be a tipping point for the Frenchman

Barcelona have been given renewed hope that they can complete the sale of Samuel Umtiti after Benfica entered the race to sign the defender. The only issue facing the two clubs is the Frenchman's wages, which the Portuguese club cannot afford at the moment.

Manchester United have thus far made three signings this summer for a combined fee of £114 million but Ole Gunanr Solskjaer refused to rule out the possibility of making more additions.
