United boss Jose Mourinho is reportedly pulling out all the stops to try to bring the 25-year-old Greek international to the Premier League during the January window and is even rumoured to be plotting a £50 million bid to try to persuade the Giallorossi to part with their highly-rated centre-half. Manolas is stalling on a new deal in the Italian capital after failing to agree personal terms on a contract extension.
